Taj, 12, is active and willing to try new things. He is very intelligent and does especially well in math and reading. Taj believes in God, is interested in the Bible and enjoys going to church. He says that he “loves building relationships, but hates losing them.”

He is a fun kid to be around and has a great sense of humor. He enjoys trying different foods, such as African and Chinese, but says he would choose pizza as his favorite. Taj has a variety of interests, including boxing — he’s striving to become an All-Star boxer — swimming, Pokémon, video games, gardening and going to Valleyfair. He is a good writer and is very insightful. When Taj gets to spend quality time with the adults in his life, he feels very special and values these moments. He is sweet, helpful and caring.

Only Minnesota families are being considered at this time.
