Meet Jaiden the Funny Spicy Food Loving Disney Kid Who Is Ready for His Forever Family

Jaiden is a sweet, funny, and lovable 12-year-old with a smile that lights up every room he enters. He is a boy with a bold personality, a tender heart, and a genuine zest for life that is impossible not to love.

A Kid Who Keeps Everyone on Their Toes

Jaiden's social worker said it best.

"He is really, really funny and he knows exactly what he is doing," she said. "Whether he is hamming it up for the camera, giggling at his own jokes, or climbing a chair to grab his Halloween costume the moment it arrived, Jaiden approaches life with an enthusiasm that is completely contagious."

Last Halloween, he dressed as Stitch from the Disney classic Lilo and Stitch, and his excitement simply could not be contained when he saw that costume. He became Stitch!

What Does Jaiden Love?

Jaiden is a devoted Disney fan who can be found watching Moana, Tarzan, or Toy Story on any given afternoon. He loves stories, cuddles, spending time with friends, and roaming around to explore his world. He is social and affectionate by nature but also knows how to enjoy a quiet moment to recharge. When it comes to food Jaiden has a surprisingly bold palate. This is a kid that isn't afraid to go spicy. Food with a kick is his absolute favorite and you can't keep him away from a good Taco Tuesday.

What Kind of Family Is Jaiden Looking For?

Jaiden is nonverbal and uses a wheelchair, and the right family will be one that can accommodate his needs and keep life full and busy. His food is pureed for easy eating and he has a specialist.

However, his social worker makes it clear that insurance covers his equipment and there is no reason he cannot thrive in a loving home. A busy, active family who can keep up with his school schedule and his spirit would be his perfect match.
