Steven, 6 years old, AZ

Steven is a loving, smart little boy who has spent most of his life in foster care. He now lives with his stepmother, who is considered kin and is in the process of adopting him. She primarily speaks Spanish and loves Steven deeply. He also lives with his sister, which brings him comfort and stability. Steven has a diagnosis of autism and works very hard every day. Communication and daily routines like getting dressed, getting ready for school, or turning off the TV can be challenging for him, but with patience and support, he continues to grow. Steven loves watching TV, thrives with routine, and is incredibly sweet, gentle, and caring. He previously lived in a therapeutic foster home and is now in a safe, loving environment where he is supported and deeply cared for.
