About this Kid

Meet the energetic and driven Jackson, who is always on the go! He loves staying active and relishes any opportunity to go to bounce houses or trampoline parks. He lets his imagination soar while jumping to his highest heights and pretending he can fly. Jackson's creativity doesn’t stop there – he loves playing outside and gathering objects to build and use in pretend play. On calmer afternoons, he likes to meander around the library and pick out books about monsters, aliens, animals, bugs, and robots. Jackson has quite a curious mind and can often remember and recite books he’s read. If he had to choose, his favorite characters would be any from Disney movies or dragons. His current favorites include Fish Tale, Toy Story, Cars, Monsters University, and Monsters Inc. Jackson is described as strong, determined, and funny. If given the chance to spend a day at the zoo, he would be drawn to the lions, tigers, and penguins, and if he could have his way, he’d love for dinosaurs to be included as well. He is an avid artist and likes drawing, particularly with red (which reminds him of his favorite Kansas City Chiefs football team). He may be on the picky side when trying new foods, but he will never turn down a bowl full of spaghetti!

He is now in the eighth grade and enjoys math the most.

Jackson would do best in a home with a mom and dad, where he can be the youngest or only child. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

For Missouri children, both home studied and non-home studied Missouri families are encouraged to inquire; only home studied families from other states should do so.
