Matched

This darling little sibling group came bouncing into the room together when we met them last month. They were obviously great friends and I was surprised to learn that they are not actually in the same foster home. They do have regular play dates and seem to get along very well.

Amber is 4 and enjoys listen to and singing along with the choir at church. She is in preschool and loves telling her foster mom all about her day each afternoon. She enjoys playing with dolls, pretending to cook, and taking cell phone pictures. She loves to pose for pictures and is awfully cute when she does it!

Asher is 2. He likes to play with little cars and throw balls. He likes to cuddle and still enjoys being rocked to sleep with his pacifier. He is described as lively and clever by his foster mom. He is learning to speak and communicates quite well. He follows simple instructions and is starting to recognize colors.

Amber has a few developmental delays. She has possible mild cerebral palsy and wears braces on her feet. She easily walks without the braces as well as with them. Asher does not have any known medical needs.

Watch out preschool teachers, here I come!

What a fun 3 year old he is – Aiden’s whole face lights up when he smiles and he has one of those great belly laughs! Superkids took several additional photos for his file that capture this amazing boy’s joy.

Some of the fun extras we learned about Aiden – his favorite color is red; he prefers noodles to rice; and he sometimes try to sneak the food he doesn’t want to eat into his friend’s bowl.

Aiden is curious, playful, and affectionate with his caregivers. Could he be your son? Please contact Amanda@NewBeginningsAdoptions.org for more information.

4 year old twins! Ava and Alex!

Like all siblings they have differences and similarities.  What did we learn about them when we met them earlier this month?  They both seem like typical pre-school age kids. Ava likes singing and listening to music and Alex isn’t too fond of bugs.

They both enjoy preschool and their teachers report many early learning strengths like getting along with peers and following instructions. They have their favorite toys, for Alex this is a bicycle and for Ava a stuffed bunny. And, maybe not too telling, but they both love white rice!

Alex and Ava are both reported to have some developmental delays. Ava has mild cerebral palsy. She wears a brace on her right leg, though she can walk, run, and jump without it. She strings beads and can manage buttons. Both of the children speak clearly and do typical developmental things such as count to ten, string beads, and play with balls.

Marilyn entered the room in the sweetest little dress and the most shy face of the day. With her foster mom beside her she came my way to check out what was in the special suitcase. Within minutes she was settled in on a coloring page and the colors all spread out ready to use. She started in an upright position to soon end up all involved in the delicate perfection of the color page. Head down almost to the floor, color in hand, and her hair almost covering her face she went to work on her masterpiece.

A few snap shots with the camera brought out her precious smile. She would pause for a photo then return to coloring. Her attention was redirected once other children came into the room. She was off to play! She has the best time running around, climbing the jungle gym, and throwing a ball around with the boys.

Marilyn has hearing loss and wears hearing aids. She also is on medication for epilepsy. This precious little girl is in search of a forever family. She is looking for someone to play house with, color with, and of course run up and down the slide with… Could that be you?
