Dean has been in and out of residential facilities and foster homes for 7 years. An Interstate Compact was approved for him to move from Indiana to New York to a pre adoptive foster placement, and he is hopeful he has found his forever home! A previous CASA for Dean, who unfortunately passed away from cancer, encouraged Dean to begin running for fitness. He ran track and cross country in a couple of his schools he attended and loves the challenge of counting his steps and watching his times. Dean is interested in a degree in engineering or psychology. He wants to go to college, but has also considered entering the military.
