Andrew’s sense of humor is contagious — he’s the kind of teen who can light up a room with his jokes, funny memes, and playful personality. He’s looking for a family who will share in his laughter, embrace his quirks, and cheer him on as he reaches for his dreams. Andrew loves spending his free time playing games like Tetris and Minecraft or catching up on his favorite shows. On weekends, you’ll often find him enjoying some well-deserved rest, diving into video games, or gaining valuable skills in an employment training program. Andrew’s favorite subjects in school include gym, where he gets to stay active, and he’s also a fan of reading, especially Garfield comic books.

A lover of pizza, cheeseburgers, and desserts, Andrew lights up during holidays and birthdays, when he can enjoy delicious food and the excitement of opening presents. His favorite color is blue, and his love for cats shows his soft and caring side. He dreams big, imagining himself as a YouTuber one day, and even has Mars on his travel bucket list because, as he says, “it seems fun to be in outer space!” Andrew envisions a forever family that enjoys taking vacations, celebrating holidays together, and having fun. He’s ready to bring his warmth, humor, and potential to a family that will embrace him for who he is. If you’re looking for a smart, funny, and loving teen who will bring good energy to your home, Andrew could be the right fit.

According to one of the adults close to him, “Andrew has a very outgoing and goofy personality. He has a great sense of humor and others enjoy being around him. Andrew is a very smart kid with a lot of potential in his future.”

Andrew would do best in a two-parent forever family, but a single parent who can meet his needs could be considered. His new parent or parents should be experienced and trauma informed. He would do well in a family with other children regardless of age. His new family needs to be patient and understanding as Andrew builds a trusting relationship with them. His family must be open to letting Andrew maintain his sibling relationships. Finally, Andrew prefers a family who has pets, especially dogs.
