Ashley and Clarissa have a strong relationship and need to be adopted together. They both have to learn to get along with each other better and feel that they are ready to be together in an adoptive home. Both girls are very loving and caring of each other. Clarissa tends to worry about Ashley. They both would like to continue contact with their younger brother at least by phone. Ashley and Clarissa would benefit from a family who is structured with parents who would set limits and teach them boundaries. The adoptive family needs to be very involved in school and making sure that they complete their homework since they need assistance in this area.

The family that adopts Clarissa and her sister needs to be willing to stay involved with therapy.
