Sophia
Children Waiting For A Home ...
Sophia is a sweet 11-year-old who values taking time to make their appearance just so . In fact , Sophia ’ s dream day would go like this : showering to start with a clean canvas , completing a hair routine , and then perfecting their nails all before having breakfast ! Then , it ’ s off to a library or park to write stories , poems , or songs . As you can tell , Sophia is a very creative child . Sophia gets good grades , and their favorite subject in school is art . Other fun activities : going to Five Below , cooking at home , and painting . For Sophia , the ideal family looks like two moms , and possibly a brother or sister that are younger . Sophia feels excited about adoption and believes tears will flow when it happens . Sophia really would like an environment where people are friendly and gentle .
Meet Alvans , a happy 15-year-old with a sense of humor and abundant curiosity . He enjoys watching musical videos on his iPad . He especially enjoys watching “ Wheels on the Bus ,” and watches versions of this song in every language from every culture . Alvans enjoys hearing the song and watching big wheels on trucks , buses , and any vehicle , or even on medical carts . Handing Alvans a toy car will bring bouts of hearty laughter as he drops the toy on to the floor , expecting you to pick it up , only to drop it once more . This drop & return activity has no time limit and will always evoke Alvans ’ delight . When he reaches for your hand to guide the play ... well , that is a special connection that is quite memorable with his great eyes speaking kindness . Delighting in music , he enjoys nursery rhymes , simple melodies , and some Pop and Rock music . Alvans will demonstrate his enthusiasm for songs and participate by humming , clapping , vocalizing , and laughing . He also likes riding on the adaptive bicycle and exploring toys . An ideal family for Alvans would spend time interacting with him and caring for his special needs . Alvans is content on his iPad and likes to sit in the center of whatever activity is occurring . Since music is the major interest in Alvans ' life , having a joy of the sounds of music and passing the time with Alvans would be an asset to his life .
Sivaad
Alvans
At 13 , Sivaad likes the typical things - basketball , soccer , and video games . He loves gaming on a PS5 connected with his friends . When he gets the chance to go , he is always up for a trip to the arcade . His current favorite subject in school is math , which he loves ! He is seen as a helpful person , someone to rely on . He has opinions and is not afraid to share them when having a chat . In fact , one of his favorite things to do is to sit around and discuss life with a friend or friends . He is looking for a family who will enjoy these long chats and may be up for a game of pick-up , too . Sivaad has siblings who he would like to remain in contact with , so being supportive of this is important for any family interested in becoming his forever family .
