Children Waiting For A Home...
JAMES
James, is a lively and cheerful 15-year-old with a magnetic personality. Known for his infectious smile, love of high fives and fist bumps, and joyful spirit, James thrives on connection and brings warmth wherever he goes. He’ s a playful, social teen who delights in sharing his achievements and treasures with others, and he’ s especially proud when he ' s done something well. James enjoys school and shows great resilience and joy in learning and engaging with others. He loves Marvel movies, outdoor play- especially swinging at the playground- dancing to loud music in the car, and cheering on his favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles. James also enjoys video games, stylish clothes, snapback hats, and good-smelling cologne. An ideal family for James would be loving and patient. He’ ll need ongoing care into adulthood and would thrive in a home that embraces his vibrant energy, playfulness, and need for lifelong support. Pets are a plus!
Lisa is a gentle, resilient young girl who brings quiet joy to those around her. Despite physical limitations, Lisa expresses curiosity and engagement through small but meaningful gestures- gripping her rattle, following objects with her eyes, and responding with delight to bright colors, sounds, and playful activity. She enjoys screen time, being read to, and the comfort of stuffed animals. One of her favorite times is story time with her social worker, who notes that Lisa will squeeze a toy or attempt to follow it as it moves- clear signs of her desire to interact and connect. Her world is filled with sensory moments, and she lights up with visual and auditory stimulation. Lisa needs a forever family that can provide ongoing, lifelong medical and emotional support. She would thrive in a home that offers love, patience, and the ability to care for her needs. Lisa communicates in her own way and deserves a family that sees, cherishes, and supports her just as she is.
