Meet Louie! 

Introducing sweet Louie! With his soulful eyes and a gentle spirit, he’s sure to capture your heart. Louie is a sweetheart who’s especially affectionate with his favorite grown-ups. He has a silly side too, often using finger puppets to express himself. He’s always on the lookout for fun sensory experiences—and he especially likes the satisfying crunch of a hot Cheeto! On these beautiful sunny days, you’ll find him having a blast splashing around in his little pool. When he needs a break from fun in the sun, he loves cozying up with his tablet to watch SpongeBob, The Fairly OddParents, or his absolute favorite, Lilo & Stitch!

Louie has the curious mind of a little engineer! He’s fascinated by planes and all kinds of vehicles and, whenever he discovers something new, he dives right in to figure out exactly what it does and how it works. At school, Louie loves reading sight words and building his own sentences. He is a smart 5th grader and uses his growing language skills, communication device and American Sign Language to show off his amazing memory. Louie really thrives with a steady routine – and will keep everyone around him on task! While he’s generally very easy-going, he does his best when he has a time to prepare for transitions, and he responds well to a countdown.

Louie is ready to find the attentive, supportive family he deserves! His gentle and endearing soul will make him the perfect addition to a home where he’ll undoubtedly blossom with plenty of love, patience, and care.
