ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS - IS A FAMILY!!!!

Oh my goodness - These siblings are absolutely precious. They are waiting for YOU!!

Okay, no pressure really. Please pray for Delfino (5 years old), Serenity (4 years old) and Jacob (almost 2) as they wait!!! Share their information with your family and friends. You just might be the connection they need to finding their family. :)

Here is a brief profile that their case worker wrote about them:

Meet this wonderful sibling group! There is Delfino, who is the big brother; Serenity, the middle child; and Jacob, the youngest. Delfino has tons of energy. He has made a lot of progress since coming into care. Playing with other kids and trusting adults are two things he has been learning. Talkative and curious, Delfino needs reinforcement from parental figures and would be very happy to have two parents who love him. This little guy loves to eat spicy foods. Serenityis also progressing well. She can be very charming and follows directions with ease. Active and talkative, this lass loves her baby dolls and giving hugs. Jacob, youngest of the group, is an appealing, active child. He is happy being held and wants plenty of attention. Jacob needs patient and structured parents who can help him reach his potential. He is a very curious and strong-willed toddler.

Extraordinary Families needed!!!!!

You may have read the above title and immediately thought to yourself, "extraordinary, that's not me". I disagree.

If you are reading this post you want to know what you can do to make a difference in the life of a child. THAT MAKES YOU EXTRAORDINARY!!

These two sibling groups need a family. They need someone who will show up at their school programs, attend their sporting events, help them with their homework and show them that family IS forever, no matter how challenging some days can be. :)

Please contact The Colorado Adoption Exchange at 303-755-4756 for more information about these kids or other kids who are waiting in Colorado to be matched with their forever family.

Colorado Siblings need a Family

Oh my - the personality of these kids just jumps out of the picture!! They are precious and in desperate need of a forever family.

Would you please prayerfully consider opening your heart and home to them? :)

Here is a brief profile that their caseworker wrote:

These precious siblings would like be together in their forever family! Rose is very much into "girl things" and likes to read. She is also a writer and is doing a great job writing a book! Smart and sensitive, this preteen is very caring and helpful with Dacoda, her little brother's needs. In the fifth grade, Rose thinks things through and takes time to consider others. She benefits from physical, speech and occupational therapies. George, like his sister, is also bright and sensitive. Reading, football, cars and playing outside are his interests. When it comes to food, he'll eat anything and everything - in large quantities! This wonderful fourth grader wants to be part of a loving family and would thrive on activities that encourage sportsmanship and teamwork. Youngest child Dacoda is a happy, smiling people-lover who likes to be around others. He is interested in SpongeBob, cars and Power Rangers. Fun and charming, this kindergartener gets along well with both adults and kids. He is good at engaging others and likes to be moving, especially outside. Dacoda utilizes a wheelchair and walkers for his cerebral palsy and is really motivated to be mobile! He has made amazing progress and continues to improve weekly. He benefits from physical, speech and occupational therapies and will soon be in a regular classroom. Talkative and busy, he charms everyone he meets. Dacoda may not be able to live independently as an adult, but he can have a wonderful life! The caseworker prefers a family who speaks both English and Spanish; however, all family types will be considered. George needs a strong male role model and a patient, nurturing home. Rose would do well with a caring mother figure. She says she would like to have additional siblings to play with! Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

Colorado Siblings need a family

8 year old Talia, 5 year old Aiden and 3 year old Zachary need a family - could it be your family?
Here is a brief profile that was written by their caseworker:

This sibling trio will capture your heart. First in line is Talia the soft spoken older sister. This endearing lass draws others to her. Reading, coloring and playing with dolls is where she finds joy. As a friend of animals, this sweet gal loves all critters. Listening to music while playing dress-up is the best activity. In the second grade Talia does very well. With her pleasant personality she is well liked by her teachers and peers. She currently benefits from counseling, which will need to continue after placement. Here comes Aiden, the sweet and loving middle child. Very active, this fellow enjoys playing with animals and his toy cars. With his mellow demeanor this kiddo helps out wherever he is. Though shy at first, Aiden opens up and is very friendly; he gets along well with other children. He is not in school yet. Little Zachary is sweet and even-tempered. Even though he has asthma, he doesn't let it keep him from being active and climbing. Building tools or playing with blocks are on the top of his list. This tyke loves animals, but is allergic to most. Very helpful, delightful Zachary has fun with other children and gets along with adults too. He is allergic to peanuts, eggs and powder cheese, but this doesn't hinder his growing love of food. These children would like to maintain contact with their grandmother. Their caseworker prefers a two-parent family; however, all family types will be considered. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services. We only accept inquiries on the entire sibling group, who will be placed together. For Colorado children, both homestudied and non-homestudied Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only homestudied families from other states should do so.

Please pray for them as they wait to meet their forever family!! Prayer changes things and it will definitely have an impact in the lives of these siblings. :)

Colorado Siblings need a Family

As 2010 ends these siblings are waiting to be matched with their forever family.

Please pray and share their information with your friends and family. For more information about these children please contact The Adoption Exchange at: 303-755-4756 :)

This sibling group of three is waiting for an understanding family to welcome them into their home! Tyler, who likes to be called "JT," is the oldest brother and has big plans for his permanent home! Being part of family who lives on a farm or can create the opportunity to be around horses or other farm animals would be his ideal situation. If not riding horses, he would love a family who likes to ride motor scooters and spend time outdoors. Playing basketball or riding his bicycle are two other ways he soaks up sunshine. Shopping for clothes at the mall with friends or family is fun for him, and he gets along nicely with younger and older children alike. In the fifth grade, JT does well in school and benefits from an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). In the last few years, he’s been on a streak of making impressive, positive strides in his life. Middle sister Aubrey is a bright and active child who continues to believe that there is a perfect, permanent home waiting for her. The swing set is where she has the most fun, unless she’s playing in her fort or with her little brother. As a full-time kindergartner, Aubrey does well in school and is very intelligent. She benefits from speech therapy, which will need to continue after placement. Last but not least is Keegan, the baby of the group, who is happy, playful, active and ready to bond with a new family. His favorite outdoor playmate is his sister Aubrey, but in a pinch he can entertain himself with a ball. Even though he can be a little shy around strangers, he will warm up quickly to play with other children and maybe even include you in his games. Not quite old enough for school yet, Keegan is quite content just to explore his world. JT and Aubrey attend counseling, which will need to continue after placement. Their case worker would prefer to place them in a two-parent home with a family who is committed, patient and loving; however, all family types will be considered. We only accept inquiries on the entire sibling group, who will be placed together. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services. For Colorado children, both homestudied and non-homestudied Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only homestudied families from other states should do so.

If you are looking to fill your home with fun and adventure, Tayrome and Tayshawn will be the perfect addition to your family! Tayrome is a fun-loving guy who is active and athletic. Curious and inquisitive, he has never been introduced to an activity that he did not enjoy. Playing sports, fishing and gardening are favored activities and he loves animals. Tayrome is in the sixth grade and is doing well. Tayshawn, like his brother, is active and athletic and likes lots of hugs! His curious and inquisitive nature makes him fun to be around, as he is up for any new activity. This dynamic guy especially likes to spend his time playing sports, fishing, and gardening. Animals are of interest as well, and he enjoys taking things apart to see how they work. A fourth grader, he would thrive with parents who will support him academically. Most boys are afraid of eating anything green, but these awesome kids like to eat their veggies! They are nice, well-mannered and soft-spoken guys who like to figure out how things work and to be involved in adult conversation. Both boys get along well with their peers and have lots of friends. Currently Tayrome and Tayshawn benefit from counseling, which may need to continue after placement. They have a younger sister with whom they will need to maintain contact. Tayrome and Tayshawn need a forever family who is loving, helpful, structured and affectionate. Their caseworker prefers a two-parent family without a lot of other children, so that they will receive extra attention; however, all family types will be considered. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services. For Colorado children, both homestudied and non-homestudied Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only homestudied families from other states should do so.

Are you the lucky family who can welcome these delightful sisters? Meet Delia and Sophie, a perfect pair who complement each other well. Social butterfly Delia might just fly into your heart! She is a natural leader who likes having many friends. In fifth grade, Delia is very bright and gets good grades. She likes to work hard and actually asks for schoolwork! Eager to please, this sensitive gal would make a great addition to any family. Sophie is a budding artist who just might give you some artwork or a craft she has created! This sweet third grader does especially well with one-on-one interactions, and is working hard every day to become a better reader. Sophie has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) in school and participates in speech therapy. Both girls benefit from counseling, which might need to continue following placement. Their caseworker prefers a two-parent or single-female family; however, all family types will be considered. We only accept inquiries on the sibling pair, who will be placed together. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services. For Colorado children, both homestudied and non-homestudied Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only homestudied families from other states should do so.

Brother and Sister need a family!

This incredible sibling duo would like to grow up together! Joseph is a thoughtful and kind preteen who loves sports of any kind! He wants to play them all but has not had the opportunity thus far. Gentle with pets and animals, he is also protective of his little sister. Joseph likes to play his electric guitar and is learning different songs on his own. Fifth grade is going well for him, as he is a good student and well liked by his peers. He would do best in a family who can give him time to play sports and excel in his many strengths Sister Harmoney is a sweet little girl who has a mind of her own. She believes she is a girly-girl and is proud of it! Pink is her favorite color. Singing is a treasured activity and she has talent. Harmoney likes animals and is good with them. She can often be found playing with her friends and other children her age. In the first grade, she has made so much improvement that the school has said she no longer needs her IEP (Individualized Education Plan). A mom and dad who can give her time and positive direction would be great for Harmoney. Both children benefit from counseling, which will need to continue after placement. The caseworker prefers a two-parent Colorado home; however, all family types will be considered. Joseph and Harmoney would like to maintain contact with a grandmother and a brother. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

Sibling Group of three are waiting for a family to say YES!!!

These siblings need a forever family!!! Please pray for them as they wait and pray for their forever family to be united with them soon.

Here is a brief description:

Some fortunate family will be filled with happiness when they make Kyla, Faith and Camden part of their lives! These three kiddos are full of energy and active, yet all of them have a sensitive, thoughtful and caring side to them. The oldest, Kyla, loves Hannah Montana and she can dance up a storm! Making crafts is a favorite pastime of hers, so all she needs is a pair of scissors, paper, crayons and glue, to be content. Girly things make her smile! She plays the clarinet in the school band, and she likes to help around the house. Now that’s a plus in any home. In the fourth grade, Kyla is a good student who receives As and Bs. Sweet, quiet, delightful and cooperative are just a few words that have been used to describe younger sister Faith. With a great imagination, she likes to play with Barbies, and playing dress-up completes a terrific day! Games are tops on her list, and because she makes friends very easily, there is always someone around to join her. Someday Faith would like to run track or participate in a sport. In the first grade, she does well in school. Camden, the only boy of the group and the youngest, is active, healthy and excels in anything athletic. Football is his favorite sport and someday he would like to be a professional athlete. He has been described as having all the right dance moves! In kindergarten, his favorite time of the day is recess, or when the teacher is reading out loud to the class. He loves one-on-one attention, especially from a male role model, and is affectionate and kind. Video games and watching SpongeBob on TV will keep him happy for a long time! This incredible trio of kids would do best in a home without dogs or cats because of allergies. They would like to remain in contact with their aunt. Their caseworker will accept inquiries from all family types. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related costs. All of the children benefit from counseling, which will need to continue after placement. For Colorado children, both homestudied and non-homestudied Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only homestudied families from other states should do so. We only accept inquiries on the entire sibling group, who will be placed together.
