Jason, 9 years old, MO

Jason is an adventurous and curious boy who loves spending time outdoors. Whether he’s fishing, exploring along the river, or searching for small creatures, he enjoys discovering everything nature has to offer. He has a natural sense of curiosity and loves learning about the world around him through hands-on experiences. Jason was removed from his biological home due to severe neglect and drug exposure. During an attempted reunification, authorities discovered ongoing unsafe conditions in the home, including active drug use and unsafe supervision. Jason later tested positive for meth and fentanyl and spent 30 days hospitalized before entering foster care. He has faced many challenges at a young age, but he continues to show remarkable resilience and strength. Despite his difficult experiences, Jason maintains a positive attitude and finds joy in the simple things around him. He thrives when he’s outside, turning everyday moments into new adventures. Exploring nature gives him a sense of peace, excitement, and accomplishment. His curiosity, love of the outdoors, and positive spirit make him a bright and active child who is always eager for his next discovery.
