“What I want people to do to show me they love me is special events or just telling someone that you love them and actually meaning it… that would be great’
Carmine is a smart young man who loves games! Board games, card games, video games — he’ll try them all. He enjoys being a leader and often takes that role when hanging out with friends; but he is respectful and listens to what everyone needs. A good conversationalist, Carmine is engaging and easy to talk to.
Carmine adores animals and has been enjoying teaching his pets fun tricks! He has participated in some extracurriculars and is hoping to try new ones soon. You can tell Carmine is creative: when he gets out of school he wants to be a hairstylist or an artist. Fixing things comes naturally to Carmine, and he likes to just help out. He would do well with a family that lives in the country.
Carmine would do well in either a one-parent or two-parent home with either no children, or other children who are several years older so he gets plenty of attention. Carmine would like to have two parents, including a father who can model appropriate behavior as he grows into young adulthood. He will thrive with structure and consistent rules and expectations; a family willing to discuss the house rules is ideal. Being a teenager, privacy is important and he does hope for his own room and his own space. Interested families should understand the impact trauma can have on children.
