Eli (born in 2008) is passionate about cooking and hopes to attend culinary school when he gets older.

If he could go anywhere in the world, he says he would choose Italy. His favorite class is science because he likes learning about new technology. Eli describes himself as fun, adventurous, and calm. He likes to be outdoors, explore nature, and see wildlife. Eli also enjoys soccer, basketball, and anime. His favorite show is My Hero Academia, and his favorite movie is Spirited Away. He would be a fire bender if he could have any superpower and says the most amazing thing about him is that he never gives up. Eli would like a home with other children, pets, and parents that show him love while making him feel cared for. Adoption is important to him because he feels it will expand his life in every way and show him a new perspective, he hasn’t yet experienced.
