Benjamin from Virginia

Benjamin "Alex" is a bright, personable child who has a strong head on his shoulders. He was born in 2009. He can have conversations well above his years, and one would never know his age in just speaking with him. He is still a spunky teenage boy. Alex enjoys doing activities outdoors, including playing outside, caring for animals, and farming activities. He appears to enjoy learning but does not know quite yet what he wants to be when he grows up. He is still enjoying his teenage years. He also enjoys playing and observing different sporting events when he can. Alex likes to talk about his love for coffee, and recently just had Starbucks for the first time! He is an avid eater and likes to try different foods. He says that he is not a picky eater. Alex is looking for a forever family that is family-oriented, active, and enjoys spending time together, but can also respect space when needed. In our effort to limit the digital footprint of our children and youth, Virginia has elected to only provide photos to inquiring families. (A digital footprint could be described as a trail left behind when someone uses the internet (e.g. websites visited, social media accounts, photos, etc.). The state wants to be cautious as to who can see and potentially have access to youth’s info.
