FAMILY FOUND APRIL 2024!
"Art", "Ross", & "Nancy"
Introducing "Art", "Ross", & "Nancy"! These kids are living in Eastern Europe. Art is 13 and diagnosed with cataracts. Ross is 10 and diagnosed with a developmental delay, behavior disorder, metatarsus varus, and ADHD. Nancy, the youngest, is 9 and diagnosed with a developmental delay, ADHD, and an intellectual disability. All of these children have a history of abuse.
I have seen these sweet siblings listed for a while now, and they have always pulled at my heart.
The children are not currently together, though they live with foster families in the same village, and see each other often. They had a potential family coming, but unfortunately, could not continue the process. Each sibling has stated that they want to remain together, and they have a strong bond.
"Art"
Art is the oldest, and is described as a radiant and sociable boy. He likes spending time with his friends, and participating in group activities at school. Art is caring, and always willing to help out! He is curious and inquisitive, and his favorite subjects at school are math, language arts, and science. Art likes to watch movies and documentaries, especially those that are nature and science related.
Art understands and accepts emotions, and reacts appropriately. He communicates well, and can regulate his own emotions. Art understands the adoption process, but is hesitant because the last family that met him did not work out. He is working with a social services team to prepare him for the next potential family. Art can independently eat, wash his hands, brush his teeth, and bathe. He can get dressed independently, and will fold and arrange his clothes. He likes to have good hygiene and chooses his own clothes for the day, and willingly helps with household chores like setting the table. Art is attached to his foster mother, but isn't afraid of new people.
Art lost vision in one eye due to head trauma as a result of physical abuse. He had cataract surgery to repair it.
"Ross"
Ross is the middle child, and enjoys playing on the playground, coloring, watching TV, playing on electronics, riding his bike or scooter, puzzles, and being active. He usually prefers to play by himself or with his siblings.
Ross is most comfortable around familiar people, and is the most active and talkative when he is with his siblings. He struggles with emotional regulation, but can be calmed down easily. Ross struggles to concentrate and pay attention for long periods of time, and does not always listen or follow directions from adults. Ross was in 3rd grade during the 2022-2023 school year. He works with a resource teacher under an Individualized Education Plan. Because he struggles to focus, Ross is only in school until 10:30am, where he then completes the rest of his work at home. He does best with one-on-one interactions, but struggles to make and maintain friendships. Ross is easily overstimulated, and has occasional outbursts with mild aggression. He does not understand the adoption process, but many of his opinions are influenced by that of his older brother Art. Ross can independently get dressed and undressed, and wash his hands. He can take his shoes on and off with assistance. Ross has well developed motor skills. He struggles with sharing, and adapting to new environments.
Ross had surgery on his right foot as an infant for metatarsus varus, and has shown good results. As of 2022, Ross was working with a speech therapist and psychologist.
"Nancy"
Sweet Nancy enjoys being active! She likes to participate in activities at school, and spending time with her classmates. Nancy is energetic, and loves getting attention from adults.
Nancy understands and accepts emotions, but does not always react appropriately. She struggles with emotional regulation. Nancy can be impulsive, and her speech is delayed. Occasionally, when upset Nancy shows mild aggression and emotional outbursts. She was in 2nd grade during the 2022-2023 school year, and though she struggles, she is willing to learn. Nancy has a short attention span and low frustration tolerance. She receives special education services, and works with a resource teacher. Nancy does not understand the adoption process. She has well developed gross motor skills, but is delayed in her fine motor skills. Nancy can eat, wash her hands, get dressed, and brush her teeth independently. She is attached to her foster parents, but seeks out interactions with unfamiliar people too. Nancy does not like to share. She does not always respect others personal space.
Nancy is currently working with a speech therapist and psychologist.
Art, Ross, & Nancy have a $6,000 grant with Hand in Hand, as well as a $4,000 grant with Madison Adoptions! They also have a $5,000 grant with Reece's Rainbow! They also have a $3,000 grant with Agape!
I pray that someone chooses to take a chance on these sweet siblings. They each need love and support, someone to be their cheerleader and advocate. "Art" longs for a family to call his own, and each of them have been through enough trauma and heartache that even most adults couldn't understand. Please don't forget about "Art", "Ross", & "Nancy". Be the one who gives them the forever family that they so deserve. Quality services and therapies, as well as a little love, could be just what they need to thrive and reach their potential.
