Minnesota's Waiting Child

Antonio, 8, is an energetic, curious and active young man. His mind is always at work — he is very interested in seeing how things work and why things are the way they are. He loves to be on the go and can get bored easily. Antonio might seem shy at first — but he is anything but and always has a lot to say! Antonio loves to work closely with adults on things like cooking, yard work, etc. He is mischievous and has a great sense of humor. He loves to crack jokes and is a bit of a prankster.

Antonio is quite creative and likes to draw and build with Legos and blocks. He loves to play basketball and football, is a very fast runner and has excellent balance.

Antonio would do best in a home where there are few children and lots of supervision, structure and clear expectations. The placement agency is looking for a Minnesota family for him. Following an adoption, Antonio will need to maintain contact with several relatives with whom he has positive connections.
