Xaiden, 10 years old, MO | 36 DAYS WAITING

Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association

Xaiden is a lively kid with a thoughtful side. He and his twin brother share a strong bond while living in foster care. While his brother is more outgoing, Xaiden is calm and observant, but still loves adventure. He enjoys playing soccer, football, biking, and swimming. Even though he has ADHD, it doesn't hold him back; it just makes him see the world in a unique way and adds excitement to his life. Xaiden prefers smaller groups and quiet times when he's not playing but is full of passion, loyalty, and kindness.

Having a second controller for the PlayStation 4 could help Xaiden build important relationships, starting with his twin brother and extending to his foster family and friends. Playing games together is a great way for him to bond, allowing his brother, foster parents, or new friends to join in. This promotes inclusion and quality time, helping Xaiden connect with others without pressure. For a child in foster care, these gaming moments can foster a sense of belonging and emotional safety, turning screen time into meaningful interactions.
