Valentine – Age 18
Jaline, who prefers to be called Valentine (or “Val,” for short) and whose pronouns are they/them/their, is a polite, friendly, and well-spoken Latinx 18-year-old. Val loves to listen to music and enjoys spending quiet time writing in their room. They’re currently in the process of writing a screenplay!
Val is a confident speaker who’s always trying to stand up for others. They’re passionate about the arts – acting, writing, music – and dream of studying drama in college and working in the entertainment industry someday! Val is also passionate about activism, especially regarding minority issues and the LGBTQ community. They have strong opinions but always aim to be open-minded and accepting. Val self describes as a “gender-fluid pansexual person.”
Val loves all types of animals and has a cat named Blake. Val enjoys all kinds of foods but especially loves fast food. They acknowledge letting anger get the best of them at times, but are working on better managing their emotions and reactions.
Val would like a family that is open-minded and would be supportive of the unique person that they are. If you think you and your family have the right stuff to help give Val the building blocks of family, let us know. We want to help Val be and become all that they are meant to be – including part of their own forever family!
