Valentino is a kind-hearted teen who is fun to be around! Fantasy books are among his favorite to read, and he is also fond of taking walks. A fan of the performing arts, Valentino enjoys lyrical dancing and music of all kinds. Of course, whatever comes through the speakers depends on the mood of the day. Valentino is also fond of drawing and likes blue, yellow, and white tones the best. Telekinesis or invisibility would be the coolest superpowers if he were able to pick them. He does well with younger aged peers and adults. Valentino dreams of traveling and seeing big cities like New York and Paris; the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty are “must-see” on his list.

History and science are subjects that spark excitement for this tenth-grader.

Valentino would do best in a family with a mom and a dad, two dads, or a single dad, in which he is the oldest child in the home; however, his caseworker will consider all family types.
