Julian keeps a running list of magic tricks he's taught himself from online tutorials and will happily perform his latest one for anyone who sits still long enough to watch. A performer at heart, he is equal parts showman and perfectionist, practicing the same trick dozens of times until he gets it just right. Having been in foster care for about two years and moving through a couple of placements before settling into his current home, Julian is slowly learning to build trust after some early setbacks. As a fifth grader, he struggles with focus in the classroom but comes alive during any activity that lets him perform or build something with his hands. His quick humor often lightens the mood, although it sometimes masks the depth of his feelings. Having faced real instability at such a young age, Julian deserves a patient, encouraging home where his creativity and showmanship can keep growing.
