1. Hi my name is Antonio, I am 12 years old – I would like to be adopted.

2. What I would like a family to know about me I love to talk whenever I have the chance. I like to be active; go for walks, to the park, ride bikes, swim, play baseball and catch and just be outdoors doing things. I am very good and patient with younger kids. I like animals – dogs, cats and birds. I like wrestling and action cartoons – Dragon Ball Z. When I grow up I want to be a kick-boxer or UFC fighter. I like to hang out with girls.

3. Important qualities I want in a forever family I would like a family that is active and likes to do outdoor activities together. I would like a family with kids a few years older than me. I would like a family that has good structure and who wants to discuss things with me – to allow me to work through things I do - right or wrong. A family with animals would be good. A family that would allow me to remain in contact with my foster family and my sister, nieces and grandmother, this is important to me. I would like a family that can advocate for me in school. I would like a family to commit and care about me.

4. My Challenges and Likes Reading is a big challenge – I need extra help with this. I want to learn to run faster to be a good athlete. --------------------------------------- I like all food except lima beans and mandarin oranges.
