(WNDU) - Dylan is an 8-year-old foster child who is looking for a forever home.

The active second-grader enjoys riding his bike, swimming, playing with friends, and spending time outside on the swings. His favorite color is black and white, and his favorite superhero is Spider-Man — inspiring his wish for a superpower of his own.

“I want superpower to be flying,” Dylan said.

What Dylan is looking for

Dylan said he dreams of being adopted and hopes his new family might include a dog and an older sibling.

“I would love for a little dogs. A big brother. I love to play with big brother outside,” Dylan said.

He also has his sights set on a career in law enforcement. In fact, he would like to be a police officer someday.
