About this Kid

Alphonse is all smiles when it comes to meeting new people and making them laugh! He is a kindhearted teen who loves to help others as much as possible. He delights in assisting in the kitchen with cooking and baking, especially if it involves whipping together a pizza for dinner. And his preference is always to follow it up with a sweet treat like ice cream for dessert! If not in the kitchen, then Alphonse enjoys helping with animals on the farm. It’s difficult for him to choose his favorite, but he does have a fondness for horses and dogs. If he could have any superpower, he would want the ability to talk to animals. Alphonse likes staying active and prefers to play outside whenever he’s able. His favorite things to do are jumping on the trampoline, swimming, riding his bike, and playing kickball. When stuck inside on a rainy day, he has a vivid imagination while playing with his Hot Wheels and LEGOs, or he enjoys coloring and usually opts for blue and green colors to create his masterpieces. Alphonse is a lover of musicals and Disney movies, and his recent favorites have been Shrek and Mufasa. He is described as respectful and has many positive relationships with adults.

As a seventh grader, Alphonse loves learning, and reading is his favorite subject.

He would do best in a family with a mom and a dad; however, all family types will be considered. Alphonse 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.
