The ideal family for Justin will be one who is supportive and caring. Justin has expressed his desire to have both a mother and a father. He will do best with older children in the home but will get along with younger children. The family should have an understanding of the effects of trauma in children.
I love collecting Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards!
