9-year-old Jonathan is the youngest of three siblings.

He's looking forward to being adopted, and is hoping his older brother and sister can tag along too.

As Joy Hollowell found out, Jonathan wants to make some magical memories with a family of his own.

"Jonathan, no hands?"

"Good magic trick. The amazing Jonathan. So you're back from Las Vegas?"

9-year old Jonathan didn't quite get that joke...but he did get into the magic of Danny Baker.

"Well, I made 4 or 5 rings appear together."

"Oh, wait a minute, what did you do?

Wait a minute, hold on Jonathan?"

"Let's give him a round of applause."

Jonathan says besides magic, he's also good at sports. He likes playing football and baseball.

"I can hit like a 16-mile homer."

Skateboarding and snowboarding are also fun for this third grader.

"Which do you like better, skateboarding or snowboarding?"

"Skateboarding."

"What's so fun about skateboarding?"

"Well, snowboarding is kinda dangerous."

"Yeah."

"You can run into a tree, even break your foot because your foot is stuck in the snowboard."

Jonthan admits he thinks about a lot of things...in fact-

"It's basically what I'm going to do when I grow up."

"You're going to be a thinker?"

"I'm a good thinker, so I'll do all kinds of things when I grow up."

Jonathan thinks it would be great to have a family to call his own. It's important for him to stay in contact with his older brother, Jeff and sister, Noel.

"I'm looking for a nice, Christian family that will do stuff with me."

"Let's turn this sign around, what does it say?"

Jon is the youngest, born in August 2000. Like his brother, Jon likes being outdoors. He is an active boy who likes to play soccer, go swimming and ride his bike. Indoors, Jon really likes to play videogames. Jon is doing well academically and says he likes school. However, Jon has a difficult time staying on task in school and does best with one- step directions. Jon will do best with a family that will help remind him of the skills he has learned. He also responds best to consistency in response to his behaviors. When he is having a hard time, Jon says it is helpful for him to "take space."
