She also enjoys reading , swimming , going for walks and doing arts and crafts projects . Micah expresses herself through her art and music . Micah is very inquisitive and asks deep questions to better understand people and the world around her . Micah absolutely adores all animals , and she would love to have a pet , in her Forever Family ! Michah would prefer a family who is active in the community and who like to travel . She has expressed that she would prefer to be the only child in the home , as she would enjoy the attention and time that this would allow .
Sean can be described as soft-spoken , but that doesn ’ t mean he doesn ’ t have much to say . He will happily tell you all about his love of animation ! Or he will demonstrate his computer and programming skills . At 15 years old , he is already positive of the career path he wants – to work at an animation studio . Gaming and programming are when Sean is the happiest , and he plans to continue both , first in animation school and then as a career . When this fun-loving youth isn ’ t designing games , he ’ s playing them on his phone or on the computer . He is very thoughtful , grateful , and kind , and reflects upon choices ensuring his actions won ’ t have a negative impact . Sean is also humble and grateful for every opportunity offered to him . Sean ' s wish is to be adopted and have a loving and supportive family . He ’ d prefer one mom or two moms . He adores dogs , and hopefully his future family has a dog or is open to getting one . He does have siblings with whom he wants to maintain contact , and he hopes his family will be supportive of him .
ESTEFANI
SEAN
Meet 11-year-old Estefani ! You ’ ll know she ’ s enjoying herself when she bops to her favorite music . Some of her favorite music can be found on the KidzBop albums , but she is open to all music that is catchy with a good beat . When she hears music she likes , Lady Gaga for example , she immediately perks up , gets excited and will dance along . If she doesn ’ t like an artist or song , she ’ ll close her eyes and pretend to sleep , until the music is changed ! She also likes watching shows such as Cocomelon or any cartoon where the characters sing . She enjoys making music on her own keyboard . Estefani enjoys participating in group activities , such as arts and crafts and music therapy . Finally , Estefani also enjoys being read to , has a favorite rocking chair , and likes when her hand is held . A " dream day " for Estefani would be to take a nice walk outside while listening to some KidzBop . Then , she would read a book and eat her favorite foods . She ’ d round out her day with a nap . Estefani would do well in a home where they are committed to learning and training . Other children or pets in the home are welcome . Estefani has a relationship with her brothers , and her future family should be willing to support those relationships .
