Who says you need favorites? Certainly not Quandrez. His favorite food? “Anything.” His favorite special occasions? “Anything.” So when it comes to doing anything fun, Quandrez is pretty much up for everything. “I want to have fun,” says Quandrez about the reason he wants to visit his dream destination, which is “anywhere.” This fun-loving and easygoing guy loves being active and outside. Quandrez enjoys playing sports such as football and basketball, especially after school, on weekends and when spending time with friends. He wants to become a professional football player one day. Quandrez takes a break from his active lifestyle by watching TV and playing action-packed video games. In addition to being active and athletic, Quandrez is creative and enjoys drawing and writing. In school, he earns good grades and says math is his favorite subject. Tops on his wish list are wealth and a family. Quandrez says he looks forward to playing games and going places with them.

“Quandrez is an intelligent, sweet, friendly and outgoing child who is respectful and likes to help others,” says an adult close to him. “He is inquisitive and enjoys learning new things. Quandrez can be a little guarded at first, but he eventually opens up and expresses his feelings.”

“An adoptive family should be trauma informed, attentive, patient and active,” says one of Quandrez’s close adults. “He would do best with a two-parent mom and dad home but all family types will be considered.” His new parent or parents should be experienced, and they must be fierce advocates for any support services he needs. Quandrez would do best as the only or youngest child in the home.
