He likes being a “ winner ” in all things , like in school where he maintains good grades and receives awards for scholarship . Jerome enjoys studying things as a way of understanding how they work , and a whole day with lots of new things to study is a great day for Jerome . Ideally , he would like to be a content creator on YouTube or maybe have a career working with computers . Board games like Life , video games , bike riding , and playing football and basketball are all fun activities . He also enjoys reading , drawing , coloring , and building with Lego bricks . Jerome is really looking forward to adoption and would like to be the only or youngest child in the home . Pets are okay with him .
Alex views the world through wondrous eyes . Aged 16 , he is friendly and inquisitive . He ' ll approach you with a smile , which he wears most of the time , and answer your questions with questions of his own , responding often with a delightful , squealing laugh and a remark that often catches you off-guard . He hopes someday to work in a helping profession , like a bus driver , police officer , or social worker . Alex loves to play the guitar . He likes to keep active playing football , soccer , or kickball . He has a growing collection of Matchbox cars that bring him hours of enjoyment too . He likes to assist , asking for extra chores , or other ways to be helpful around the home . Alex does like some alone time , but also engages well with peers , so a family with other children in the home is fine . He hopes to travel one day , and would especially love to visit London .
