About this Kid

Meet Jovani, a helpful teen who delights in finding fun places where he can play and explore! His favorite adventures occur when wandering around his local park, and he often looks for new items or treasures to collect. He has an independent spirit and prefers doing things on his own. However, the adults who know him best still describe him as loving, caring, and polite. Jovani also likes exploring various new worlds in his video games, and on a casual afternoon, enjoys shopping. He typically looks for items in the shade of red, his favorite color! He enjoys sharing a meal of pizza with friends and family, ideally if it’s also followed by ice cream for dessert. Jovani adores dogs, and he hopes to be adopted by a loving family someday.

This eighth grader enjoys learning and does well in school.

Jovani would do best in a family in which he can be the only child in the home; however, his caseworker will consider all family types. He has significant connections to maintain following placement. 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.
