About this Kid

Andre, who prefers to go by “Dre,” is a jack of all trades when it comes to his vast interests! As a sports aficionado, he loves to spend time outside throwing around a football or watching his favorite teams compete for the Superbowl. One of his dreams is to play on a sports team through school. But he also appreciates having a creative outlet through technology and videography and enjoys playing video games to relax. His artistic eye also admires graphic novels, his favorite genre. Dre has an adventurous spirit and loves to experience new things. He thrives in environments that offer support and encouragement. He finds value in seeking community and has many positive relationships with adults. Those who know him best describe him as loving, humorous, and genuine. In fact, when asked what his favorite talent is, Dre proudly states, “being myself.” When it comes to food, Dre is not a picky eater but loves pasta above all else. He loves pets and looks forward to having a dog someday. His favorite colors are purple, red, black, and pink, and if he could have any superpower, he would prefer to have super strength or speed. Dre has goals of owning his own vehicle and dog and plans on going to welding school to become a welder.

This tenth grader’s favorite subject is world history.

Dre would do best in a two-parent home where he can be the youngest or only child. He stated that he “would like parents that can be active with him.” He hopes to find a family to play sports with and take him on adventures. A family with pets is preferred; 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.
