Description
Emily and Adam do not currently live in the same foster home, but they spend every weekend together, alternating respite with each other’s foster parents. It is important that they find a loving, supportive family that will embrace and adopt them together.
Emily is described as thoughtful, caring, and creative, and “the most positive child I’ve had in home” by her foster mom. She is quiet, intelligent, and easygoing. Emily has several good friends at school that she hangs out with and likes to do things with on the weekend. She gets along great with her foster mom and they laugh a lot. Emily likes sports and participates in soft ball. She enjoys the evening games and is a good sport, but doesn’t take it too seriously. Emily also likes to read, ride horseback, and go to the beach. She attends regular classes at school where does very well and motivates herself to be successful. It is quite common for Emily to be on the A/B honor roll. She loves school and especially likes her teachers. When tutoring has been necessary, Emily has wholeheartedly accepted the assistance. She is very responsible and helpful and easily follows the rules at her foster parents’ home. Emily does need reminders to keep up with personal habits.
Young Adam is an exceptionally resilient, helpful, and caring child. He has a big, beautiful smile and a personality that never quits. His foster mom says that Adam is such a loving child that you just have to love him right back. He gives hugs and smiles to everyone who cares for him. Adam loves to be outdoors riding his bike and getting dirty while he plays. He generally plays well with other kids and enjoys playing soccer, board games, swimming, or Star Wars. He absolutely loves Spider Man. Adam had a great time going camping with his foster family and was thrilled when he finally caught a fish. He attends special resource classes at school where his individual plan allows him additional time for tests and assignments. Adam struggles with retaining information, understanding new concepts and transferring them to new situations. He will receive tutoring over the summer to help him stay abreast of what he will need during the next school year. He also receives some speech therapy. Adam tends to become frustrated more quickly than most children when faced with a challenge. He is learning appropriate boundaries and the value of peer relationships.
Emily and Adam need an adoptive family with good supervisory skills and plenty of energy for a young child and new teenager. They should be caring, thoughtful, and patient. Emily especially responds well to someone who takes the time to get to know her and show a commitment to her. Adam needs someone who is experienced in or willing to learn the impact of past events on a child’s emotions and behaviors. They must be willing to advocate and work closely with Adam’s school to ensure all possible success. Adam responds best to someone who can provide appropriate redirection in a kind and patient manner, rather than as discipline or punishment. Emily will benefit from a strong female role model who can teach her about personal skills and care and gently, yet confidently, lead her into becoming a woman.
