About Mario
Hey Mario, what’s the most important thing you want others to know about you? “I am quiet, I like soccer and karate, and I like to eat a lot.” Others agree would say “amen” to all of that and more. Mario loves ramen noodles. He enjoys kicking the soccer ball around after school and on weekends. In addition to soccer and karate, Mario likes swimming, shooting hoops and playing tag. In quieter times, Mario likes reading, playing video games and watching TV. “He loves going to the zoo and petting farm,” says one of Mario’s close adults. Mario participates in fitness class once a week, but instead of gym, his favorite subject in school is science. His favorite color is yellow, and his favorite animals are dogs. Mario says his favorite holidays are his birthday, Christmas and Easter, which he enjoys celebrating by spending time with family. If he had a genie in a bottle, Mario would wish to be rich and to play video games all the time. He’d likely wish for a forever family, too. Mario says he wants to have family dinners and family games nights with them.
According to one of his close adults, “Mario loves to learn and take in information. He asks a lot of questions and has a great memory. He loves going to school and gets good grades. He loves to smile but tends to be on the quieter side until he gets to know someone. He loves being helpful around the house, and he enjoys making others proud of him.”
Mario would do best in a forever family with a single female parent, two female parents or a mom and dad. His new parent or parents should be experienced and trauma informed. Mario’s new family must make sure he receives any support services that will benefit him. Mario also would do best as the youngest child in his new family.
