About Anthony
You’ll stay entertained with Anthony around. “Anthony has a great sense of humor and loves to make other people laugh,” says one of the adults who cares most about him. Despite his entertaining antics, Anthony doesn’t strive to be an entertainer when he gets older. Instead, he says he wants to become an engineer. Judging by his favorite activities, Anthony has a way of engineering plenty of fun. Anthony loves sports, especially football and basketball. He enjoys spending time outdoors on weekends as well as relaxing while watching TV and playing with friends. Like most kids his age, Anthony likes playing video games that have plenty of action. On his list of favorite things, Anthony includes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for food; red and black and white for color; dogs and cats for animals; and everything except broccoli, corn, peas and green beans for food. Anthony dreams of going to Atlantis because he wants to see there are any people there. If he had three wishes, Anthony would want a trillion dollars, six Lamborghinis and “own all the golden mansions in the world.” Anthony doesn’t care if his new family has trillions, Lamborghinis or a mansion. When asked what he wants to do with his family, Anthony says “go get ice cream together.”
“Anthony is a bright young man who has a lot of potential when he puts his mind to something,” says one of the adults who cares about him most. “He always wants to keep busy and is a great helper. He is kind-hearted and has a lot of love to give. Anthony has an overwhelming sense of gratitude and is so resilient for his age. Anthony likes to help others and see them happy.”
Anthony's new parent or parents must be fierce advocates for the services that will help Anthony function at his best. Finally, the family must be open to letting Anthony maintain his sibling relationships.
