Julius is a friendly teen who is very social, enjoys making new friends, and carrying on conversations with everyone who is a part of his world.
Like many his age, Julius enjoys playing video games, football, and riding his bicycle. He also has a talent for creations in the kitchen, as Julius enjoys cooking meals for himself and others, with his specialties being chicken alfredo, baking cakes & cupcakes, along with other gourmand treats. Baking is something Julius truly is passionate about as he, finds it is a fun way to wind down his day after completing his homework.
Julius is excited about the idea of being adopted into his forever family and is eager to be matched with a mom and dad. Forever parents who will love him unconditionally, always protect and keep him safe. Julius’s future family would be one who enjoys outdoor recreational activities such as going to parks and swimming pools. And one where he could share and further develop his cooking & baking skills!
In his own words to his future forever family – “…..Hello, I am Julius, I enjoy making friends, playing video games, cooking, and baking desserts….”.
