Ray’Shaun is a quiet and humorous 14-year-old boy who identifies as being introverted. He finds solace in the presence of close friends and family. He describes himself as being neat and relaxes by cleaning and organizing things during his leisure time. Relaxation for him also involves immersing himself in music, particularly “old-school” rap artists like Usher, JP, Beyonce, and Betty Wright. He has a keen interest in building things, as he enjoys constructing Lego houses and expresses interest in one day building model cars or planes. He dreams of expanding his hobby collection with electronic Lego sets and visiting Lego World someday.
Ray’Shaun reports that he would like to one day attend the University of Florida, and career-wise, he envisions himself as an entrepreneur or being involved in the fashion industry. Ray’Shaun’s dream of having a job in fashion is driven by his love of shopping for clothes, shoes, and hats. His ideal day includes shopping for Nike or Jordan apparel, followed by visits to theme parks like Busch Gardens, Aquatica, or Disney World. His favorite foods include chicken alfredo and breadsticks from places like Olive Garden and Domino’s.
In terms of an adoptive family, Rayshaun envisions a nurturing, calm environment with both a mother and father figure, preferably in an urban setting, as he thrives in bustling cities and enjoys participating in various family and community activities. He expresses a desire to be adopted alongside his younger sister, Reniyah, and remains open to the prospect of joining a family with 1-2 other children. Ray’Shaun is hopeful for a family with dogs, as he has a fondness for animals.
