HI! My name is Anthony.
“Baseball is my favorite sport.”

Let me tell you more about myself…
I love playing board games.

And here’s what others say…
Affectionate, caring and friendly are words often used to describe Anthony. He is an engaging ten year old of Latino heritage who has made terrific gains since being in his current placement. He has a lot of love to share and is ready to join a permanent family. Anthony loves learning and is proud of his accomplishments. Although he has cognitive delays, he has surpassed the expectations of his teachers. He can now write full sentences, using proper capital letters and punctuation. In his specialized classroom, Anthony is one of the higher functioning children and shows leadership qualities. He is working on his relationships with peers who are more on target. In his free time, Anthony enjoys playing and watching sports, especially baseball. He is a fast runner and loves hitting home runs. He is a Boston Red Sox fan, and his dream is to play for the team. Anthony also likes to read, do jigsaw puzzles, play Ugio and memory games, cook and shop for clothes. Anthony lives at a residential home where he has received the necessary structure and has shown great improvements across the board. He gets along well with adults and loves to please. He is a good helper and does his chores around the home. Anthony has the ability to attach to his caretakers. In his previous foster home, he was able to follow rules and enjoyed being a part of a family. Through therapy, Anthony has addressed issues from his past and is better able to express and control his feelings. He should continue with this support after he is placed in a new home. Anthony’s social worker is seeking a two-parent family, with or without children, who will work with his residential home to better understand Anthony’s needs. Anthony has four siblings whom he enjoys seeing, and maintaining contact with them will be important to him. Anthony is legally free for adoption.

If I could have my own special wish…
I would love to have a family to do lots of fun things with.
