At nine years old, Jason knows how to have fun. What he doesn't know, is what it's like to be part of a healthy, loving family.

Jason was removed from his biological home because of neglect. He's now living at Hope Youth Ranch and needs a permanent family of his own.

Jason would love to maintain contact with his brother micah, also in need of a permanent home. If he had a father of his own, Jason says there's a lot he'd want to ask him about life. And just the basic little boy stuff, too.

Having a mom and dad of his own is something Jason says, in his words, he wants really, really bad. And everyday, he hangs onto hope that he'll get that chance.

If you're interested in providing Jason with a permanent home, please contact the Shreveport office of the Louisiana Department of Social Services at 318-676-5048. And remember, you may adopt across state lines.
