Alex would also tell you that he likes to make people laugh with his upbeat, unique, and outgoing personality. While Alex may be more reserved at first, once this young man gets to know you, he is a great conversationalist and would enjoy talking about a variety of his interests or just about his day. Alex enjoys playing adventure-style video games or binge-watching his favorite shows on Netflix. While Alex doesn't have a specific favorite dish, he loves Italian cuisine and has said that he could eat Italian food for every meal. People in Alex's life would describe him as creative, intelligent, and always looking toward his future. Alex is considering different post-secondary options, such as going to a four-year university or a trade school. He may also consider part-time employment and earning money while he figures out his next move! Alex would enjoy being a part of a family with siblings and pets. Alex needs a family to guide him through this next phase of life. Due to Alex's age, termination of parental rights is not required for adoption to occur.
