Andreas from Pennsylvania

The minute you hear Andreas speak, you know you are talking with one smart little boy. What is so striking is that he seems to notice everything, even little things, being so very observant about the world around him. Andreas engages easily in conversation without much shyness at all. His creative mind seeks answers to questions. Andreas enjoys a good book, especially the Harry Potter series, so there is no need to encourage him to read! He also gets straight A's in every subject and enjoys school. Andreas is not all seriousness, no way! He has a great sense of humor, loves listening to music and is happy to listen to Christmas music ANYTIME, keeping the Christmas spirit alive the whole year long! He enjoys collecting and has many stuffed plush animals he still enjoys; he also enjoys playing video games, like most of his peers. Andreas loves to eat--especially breaded chicken, pancakes, french toast, pizza, and McDonald's. Andreas loves quality time and attention from parents, and this is very important to him. He also really enjoys Dad/guy time and some male-bonding! So having a father figure would be amazing for Andreas. He would love to have older siblings who can teach him and be a role model for him. Sincerity and honesty are of high importance to him, as he is sensitive to how others treat him and he knows when others are being genuine and caring. Andreas has said that it means so much for ?someone to care enough to understand me?. Parental rights have not been terminated for Andreas; however, when a permanent resource is identified the county will enact final steps to terminate parental rights.
