About Iliano
If you’re looking for someone who can bring laughter, energy, and heart to your day, you’ll want to meet Iliano. Outgoing, kind, and always ready to crack a joke or help out, Iliano is a fun-loving kid who thrives when he’s active and engaged. Whether he’s shooting hoops, riding his bike, or getting competitive in a video game, Iliano loves movement and connection. Gym class is his favorite part of the school day, and when he’s home, he likes spending time outdoors playing basketball or football or heading inside to relax with a video game or tablet time. He’s always up for a funny video or a good joke to get him laughing. When it comes to helping around the house, Iliano takes care of cleaning his room when reminded. He benefits from daily support with self-care routines and needs extra time and encouragement to complete tasks like homework. Some subjects in school can be challenging for him, but his willingness to try and keep going stands out.
Iliano is passionate about sports, especially basketball, and dreams big about becoming a rapper one day. He hopes to visit Legoland because of his love for building and creativity, and his three wishes—owning a phone, having a home of his own someday, and getting to stay up late—reveal both his playful side and his hope for stability and fun. “Iliano has a big heart,” says an adult close to him. “Iliano is very outgoing. He loves to help out and be funny. He is willing to help and although some things can be challenging he always tries his best.” He’s most proud of his ability to make friends and enjoys being around others, often described as someone who wants to please the people in his life. While he isn’t in any clubs or sports teams yet, he’d likely enjoy activities that let him move, compete, and connect with peers. During the weekends, he’s all about playing sports outside and spending time with friends or family.
Iliano would do best in a home with two parents who are experienced and can help support him with his needs. Iliano would do well with siblings of any age. Iliano loves animals and would prefer a home with pets. Ideally, his family would share a similar culture but it’s not a necessity. Iliano has a big heart, a sharp sense of humor, and a lot of potential. He would do well in a family that enjoys staying active and spending time together, especially during movie nights, summer adventures, or camping trips. A patient, hands-on family who can offer consistent reminders, guidance, and encouragement will be key to helping him grow. At his core, Iliano is a kind, funny, and determined kid who wants to feel supported, included, and cared for—and who brings just as much joy in return.
