A Place to Call Home: Meet DeLonte

Get ready to smile! In today’s A Place to Call Home, Anthony Slaughter spends the day bouncing around with one super sweet toddler!

ST. LOUIS — 2 year-old DeLonte is a special little boy who loves playing with his siblings, jumping on trampolines, and getting kisses from his family dog! DeLonte, lovingly called “DeLo,” is looking for his forever family.

 He loves to play outside, go to the park, and play with his toys. He gets doted on by his three older foster siblings, whom he loves. DeLonte is especially drawn to men and his foster dad is his number-one buddy! DeLonte would love to be part of a family that plays and enjoys doing things together. He thrives in his current foster home with his foster mom, dad, and brothers and sister. He is especially fond of the family dog and bird!

DeLonte recently graduated from his G-tube and is proud and excited to be eating on his own! DeLonte is learning to eat by exploring new foods and so far, his favorites are pizza and noodles! DeLonte has an extensive medical history and may require ongoing specialized medical care.

This sweet toddler has lived his entire life in foster care, but that doesn’t stop him from being one of the most joyful kids around.

Delonte also has a little wish. He would love to spend another day at Rockin Jump. If you would like to learn more about becoming part of his life or granting his little wish, please call the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition at 1-800-FOSTER3.

A special thank you to Rockin Jump for letting Delonte (and Anthony) bounce the day away!
