Meet Philip, an enthusiastic and sports-loving teen whose eyes light up when talking about Philadelphia teams. Though he can be a bit reserved at first, get him on the topic of his favorite sports and his energy shines through! Philip’s dream day is packed with excitement: starting with a homemade breakfast, biking, shooting hoops, enjoying an amusement park, and wrapping up with an Eagles game. Philip is dedicated to his studies and participates in a vo-tech program to learn about computers, which aligns with his future career goal of working in tech. In his spare time, he loves playing video games—Fortnite being a top pick—listening to rap music and playing basketball at the nearby court. Philip’s fun, competitive spirit shines when playing board games, and he has a surprising fondness for arts and crafts. He’s a blend of strength and creativity, showing his softer side when coloring and chatting. Philip dreams of a forever family that’s active and shares his love for sports. He’s open-minded and simply desires to belong in a home that supports and cherishes him. Whether with a single parent, same-sex couple, or a family with older kids, he’s eager for a loving, permanent home.
