Meet Elias

Meet Elias – a vibrant and outgoing young boy!

Elias, who prefers to go by Eli, is an active, friendly child who thrives outdoors and loves playing games. His favorite sport by far is basketball, and he’s a passionate fan of the Phoenix Suns. When he’s not shooting hoops, Eli enjoys unwinding with a good movie, diving into computer games, or curling up with a book. His favorite place to eat is Cracker Barrel or Freddy’s, where he loves not only the delicious food but also the fun variety of things to explore. Eli doesn’t have a favorite food but is not a fan of raw tomatoes or fish.

Curious and eager to learn, Eli is incredibly intelligent with a natural love for school. Math is his favorite subject.

Eli has big dreams of one day becoming a professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns and enjoys going with others to games in person.

Eli would thrive best in a family that can keep pace with his energy and imagination. He is looking for loving parents who are both nurturing and patient, and ready to support him. The ideal family for Eli would be one that is trauma-informed, with clear structure, open communication, and a deep understanding that building trust will take time. Eli would do best in a home with other siblings who are roughly his same age or older. He would prefer a home with a mother and father. This bright, funny, and resilient boy is eager to build lasting relationships and create joyful memories with a forever family who will cherish him for who he is.

We are currently looking for AZ families only.

Eli was born in 2012.
