You’ll stay entertained with Anthony around. He has a great sense of humor and loves sharing a laugh with others. “Anthony is a very comical, energetic young man,” says one of the adults who cares most about him. Despite his entertaining antics, Anthony doesn’t strive to be an entertainer when he gets older. Instead, he says he just wants to relax as an adult. Judging by his favorite activities, Anthony doesn’t exactly relax into a recliner during his free time. Anthony loves sports, especially football and basketball. “He would really like to participate in different sports,” says one of his close adults.

Like most kids his age, Anthony likes playing video games and going shopping for himself. On his list of favorite things, Anthony includes lasagna for food, neon green for color and puppies and kittens for animal. Anthony dreams of going to a certain amusement park so he can go on all the rides, and he wishes for $100 million and a mansion. He also wishes for a forever family and hopes they’ll go visit parks together.

According to one of the adults close to him, “Anthony is very resilient. He is a very kind-hearted young man and is very playful and loving towards others. Anthony is very smart and does great quality work in school.” Anthony says his favorite subject in school is math.

Anthony would do well with a single male parent or two experienced parents. Anthony would do best as the only or youngest child in his new forever family. His new parent or parents must have knowledge of the impact of trauma on a child. They also must be fierce advocates for the services that will help Anthony. Finally, the family must be open to letting Anthony maintain his sibling relationships.
