About Andrew
If Andrew invented a video game, it’d likely be called Rack Up The Points. “I am really good at video games, and I love to play them,” says this great gamer who takes particular pride in his gaming skills. Andrew dreams of acquiring enough wealth so he can play video games instead of working as an adult. His dream destination is anywhere that Andrew could take on the best gamers at the toughest video games because – as he says – “I am very good at them and can beat them.” Despite his intense interest in video games, Andrew finds time to enjoy other activities. He loves playing catch, and he participates in youth group at church. Andrew also enjoys going to movies and watching TV shows, but he likes taking it easy on weekends by sleeping in. On his list of favorite things, Andrew includes dogs for animal, blue and red for color and chicken nuggets, baked chicken and fish sticks for food. He enjoys celebrating Christmas and his birthday the most by opening gifts. Once he becomes a member of a future forever family, Andrew hopes they’ll let him do what he does the best and enjoys the most – playing video games. Perhaps they could even find a game to play together as a family.
“Andrew is a very friendly, sweet and smart young man who loves to do things that require him to think,” says one of his close adults. “Andrew has a lot of potential, and he loves to go to school to play with other children. He describes himself as a fun and funny child. Andrew gets excited about things he's passionate about.”
Andrew would do best with two patient, understanding, experienced and trauma-trained parents. Although Andrew has expressed interest in being the oldest child, the adults who know him best think he would do best as the youngest. He likes pets and prefers a family who has them. Andrew’s new family needs to be open to letting him maintain the appropriate relationships that are important to him. His new parents also must make sure he receives the support services that will help him thrive.
