About this Kid

Alphonse dreams of having the superpower to talk to animals. He has a deep affection for all animals and enjoys assisting on the farm whenever possible, with a particular fondness for horses and dogs. A perfect day for Alphonse is spent outdoors, where he enjoys activities like jumping on the trampoline, swimming, riding his bike, or playing kickball. Recently, he has also participated in the Special Olympics, taking part in sports such as bowling, track, and basketball, which he adores! Alphonse easily works up an appetite from all his activities and likes to help out in the kitchen. His favorite meal is pizza, and he loves ice cream for dessert. He enjoys racing his Hot Wheels and building with LEGOs in his spare time. Coloring is another relaxing pastime for him, and he prefers using blue and green shades. He is the biggest fan of "Shrek the Musical" and Mufasa, easily recalling any tunes from either. Alphonse always has a smile on his face when meeting new people and loves to make them laugh. He is a kindhearted and respectful teenager who strives to help others as much as he can.

He is currently in the eighth grade.

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