He is very good with younger children and enjoys being a leader. He does well in school with the supports. Andre is smart, enjoys reading, doing math, and enjoyed participating in school online and with a tutor. He does well when he receives a lot of positive reinforcement.
Andre would love nothing more than to have a loving and devoted two-parent family of any constellation with or without other children in the home. Interested families should have the knowledge about the education process and have an educational background to assist Andre with his education. He is of African American descent. Interested families need to be firmly committed to providing appropriate ethnic and cultural role models and information with respect to his birth cultures which includes discussing racism and discrimination. It is also important that interested families are willing to allow him to maintain contact with his birth family, as Andre describes them as important to him and they are important to maintaining a connection to his culture. Currently, he has phone contact with his sister and birthparents and likely once a month visits in-person.
