Photolisting Profile for Mario

Mario is a 14-year-old boy from Texas who is hoping to be adopted.

Mario is looking for a hobby, but he does not realize he already has one. He is a fantastic artist. What Mario is really looking for is a family to help him explore all his wonderful skills. His last project was a design he created and drew to reward one of his peers for graduation. This did not include all the awards and accolades Mario received at the end of his school year. He made the AB honor role, past his TAKS test and received an award for personal growth.

Mario's family will need to develop a structured routinue for him that includes rewards and a great deal of positive reinforcement. His family needs to encorage Mario to concentrate on his creative abilities. Mario will need assistance in developing appropriate ways to express his anger. His family will also be willing to help Marion remain in contact with his brother who is not a part of this adoption.
