About this Kid

Alijah is a creative teen who is passionate about his art. His adored mediums are drawing, painting, and writing songs. He gets inspired by listening to his favorite music, which is almost any genre – he’s not picky! Alijah himself identifies art as his best talent, and it’s no wonder that it’s his favorite subject in school as well. He also likes playing sports, and those who know him well say that he’s funny and loves animals. His favorite animals are, in fact, hamsters! Alijah is sure to be delighted when it’s boneless chicken for dinner, and he dreams of being financially independent when he is older.

He is currently in the eighth grade.

Alijah would do best in a home with a mom and a dad, where he can be the youngest child. 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.

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.
