Current hobby: Learning songs on the ukelele
Secret talent: Songwriting
Wants to be: An eSports competitor
Known for: His creativity

Music and songwriting are just a few of the many hobbies Marshall has in his life.

His inquisitive spirit certainly shines through in all aspects of his life. He's fun, creative, and has a great sense of humor.

Marshall tries his best in class and would likely benefit from the support and encouragement of a permanent family to help him succeed throughout the rest of his academic career. He loves playing guitar and ukelele and has recently even gotten into songwriting and editing videos.


He gets along well with his peers and has a quizzical nature in the world around him, always wanting to learn a little bit more about others’ hobbies and interests.

When it comes to being adopted, Marshall wants families to know he's always doing his best and he wants to find a family who will support him.

Marshall’s team is excited to hear from families who will work side-by-side with him as they work toward building the support they need to accomplish his goals. If you can see Marshall in your family, please reach out to us. He is clear about wanting to be adopted and we’re eager to find that for him.


Beyond the Profile: Getting to work with Marshall was a blast. He's so insightful and creative, and getting to see him in his element truly showcased his maturity. He has great self-awareness for his age and has a very clear vision for his future and his happiness. Though we had only met a few times before, he spoke to me like an old friend and wasn't afraid to talk about deeper and more difficult conversation topics. Marshall will make an incredible addition to any family because of his maturity, depth, and creativity. I'm happy to share this profile to find him the adoptive family he deserves.
