He enjoys being part of a team, and his skills are always improving. Anthony is also interested in video games and he is a huge fan of Michael Jackson music. In addition to knowing many of Michael Jackson's songs by heart, he has also learned how to dance like him! Anthony is doing well academically. He is very social and gets along with his peers.

Legally freed for adoption, Anthony would thrive in a permanent family consisting of one or two parents. Interested families will need to be open to two visits per year in Massachusetts with his birth mother and siblings.
