About this Kid

Jackson is a teen who loves learning new things! His most beloved classroom is outdoors, where he can gather objects to study and use them in his pretend play. He also lights up whenever he gets the opportunity to visit the library, and he devours anything about monsters, aliens, animals, bugs, and robots. He has quite a curious mind! And he's often able to recall and recite books he has read. Jackson is known for being energetic and driven, and he loves staying active by visiting bounce houses or trampoline parks. He lets his imagination soar while jumping to his highest heights and pretending he can fly (his favorite superpower). Jackson is an all-out fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, and it's no wonder that red, therefore, is his favorite color. He has a big appetite and loves food, but spaghetti and hot chips above all else. 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. He is most proud of his talent for singing, dancing, and drawing. He particularly enjoys drawing pictures of his favorite animals: lions, tigers, penguins, and dinosaurs. Jackson is a strong, determined, and funny kid who gets along well with adults and his peers.

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

Jackson would do best in a home with a mom and dad and 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.
