Four Siblings Would Bring Joy to Any Family
These four siblings would love everything from playing outside to video games. They are also very good in school.
Kayla, Tory, Christopher and Travis are in the process of being adopted.
Kayla is a lovely eleven-year-old girl who enjoys arts and crafts. Given the right tools, she will draw pictures or paint items that would amaze anyone, young or old. The adults in Kayla's life make it known to Kayla that her artistic talents can go a long way for her should she place attention and care into improving her school work. Kayla is in the fourth grade and needs help with completing homework assignments, and studying to broaden her understanding of subjects like math, reading and comprehension. Of course, when it comes to art, she is most at home, but needs to regain focus when it comes to memorization on tests. Kayla loves "Center Stage" and needs parents who will be patient with her and give her the love, affection and structure she needs.
Tory is an eleven-year-old male who is all boy! Like most boys his age, Tory enjoys playing video games, but if he had a choice, he'd choose the outdoors over video games, hands down. He loves fishing, hunting and riding four-wheelers. Tory also enjoys reading adventure stories and going to the library. He is in the sixth grade and is making good grades in school. Tory is a favorite at the school he attends, as he has a history of being a good student.
Christopher is a well rounded sixteen-year-old who enjoys soccer, football and track. He also participates in drama and makes it known to others that he loves to dance. Chris has plans to become a choreographer when he grows up. He is the model teen to have around the household, as he likes keeping his bedroom clean and neat. Chris also loves to be organized in his school, home chores and play. He is in the tenth grade and has maintained adequate grades throughout the semester. His foster mother reports that he does not have any behavior issues at home or at school. She also said that she appreciates his help around the house.
Travis is a thirteen-year-old whose favorite past time is playing video games. He will play outdoors or ride his bike with some prompting, but prefers Play station and Wii. He says that he likes sports, especially football. Travis is in the sixth grade and is maintaining decent grades. He was in the school band last year and played the clarinet. He also participates in drama classes at church.
When asked about adoption, each sibling responded that they would love a family that is willing adopt them together.
