Meet Taye!

Taye is a curious and active 10-year-old who loves to explore the world around him. Whether he’s splashing in the pool, jumping on the trampoline, or visiting the zoo, he finds joy in movement and discovery, especially when water is involved!

He enjoys educational videos, ABCs, colors, and has even picked up some Spanish words from clips on YouTube. A quick learner, Taye loves showing others what interests him. With gentle support, he takes care of many daily routines and continues to grow in his independence.
Taye would thrive in a patient, nurturing two-parent family who can provide structure, encouragement, and one-on-one attention. He will do best as the only child or with an older sibling who can help cheer him on. Maintaining connections with his siblings in Illinois will also be important. Most of all, Taye deserves a family who will celebrate his unique strengths and join him in life’s adventures.
