Story: Introducing aspiring rock star or pro skateboarder -- Quintin! This young man has a lot of plans for his future. He is teaching himself to play the guitar so he can one day start a band. When he is not strumming on his guitar strings, Quintin is practicing tricks on his skateboard. Quintin also enjoys playing video games. Instead of the usual pizza or burgers, Quentin’s favorite food is spring rolls.

A quiet, reserved young man, Quintin is shy when he first meets people. He takes his time to get to know others and can be cautious in new situations. When he is comfortable he is relaxed, genuine, and talkative, which explains why he is very popular among his peers. He likes school and his favorite subject is math. Quintin benefits from having an education plan tailored to meet his needs.

Quintin is looking for his forever family, and the ideal one for him would be able to provide lots of attention, support, encouragement and understanding. Quintin is a great kid in need of a great family in which he is able to flourish into adulthood.

Quintin is a member of the Navajo Nation. All adoptive families will be considered but it is recommended that any potential family be committed to supporting Quintin’s cultural heritage.
