Damian, born November 1995, is a handsome, charming young man with a great smile. He is well-mannered and likeable and seems to make friends pretty easily. He loves playing basketball and other sports and likes to be outdoors, but he also loves watching TV and playing video games. He loves and needs positive one-on-one attention. Damian is an average student, though intelligent. He has potential to be a leader with other kids, and this potential needs to be brought out and nurtured. Damian needs a lot of encouragement to develop a positive perspective/outlook as well as internal motivation. He responds best to firm, “no nonsense” people who give him consistent, immediate and logical consequences for his behavior. Damian has a very hard time with “broken promises” and expects others to follow through on what they say.
Casey and Keaton are twins born in March, 2001. Casey is a cute, very "girly" girl and loves playing with dolls, make-up, “playing house,” etc. Casey is very affectionate, friendly and outgoing and doesn't meet a stranger. She is very much a “people person.” At times, she needs to be reminded of appropriate boundaries. She does tend to worry about things and this shows with constant questioning. She is very smart and does well in school both behaviorally and academically, earning mostly A‘s and B‘s. Any trouble she might have in school normally stems from socializing too much. Sometimes she also needs encouragement to not give up too quickly on challenging assignments. Casey can go from being in a state of fear or worry to turning on her "caretaker mode" within just a couple minutes, particularly in situations involving younger children.
William (known as "Keaton") is a very handsome, charming young man who is “all boy.” He loves to play outside riding his bike or play basketball or other sports. He is very friendly and outgoing and doesn't meet a stranger; he is also very much a “people person.” He is very intelligent and explains things down to the detail. Keaton picks up on things very easily and excels academically, earning mostly A‘s; he is always eager to show off his knowledge. He is very independent and sometimes has trouble following instructions.
Destiny born August 2002 is a precocious, very affectionate, happy-go-lucky little girl. She likes playing with dolls and doing other “girly” activities, but she can also participate in boys’ activities with the best of them. Destiny is very smart and picks up on things quickly. She is very affectionate, friendly and outgoing and makes friends easily. Destiny does better with lots of structure and consistency but at the same time having lots of activity to keep her mind busy. She is very active and loves to play with other kids, though she may often need supervision to keep things calm and smooth among playmates. Destiny does well in school, both behaviorally and academically, earning mostly A‘s.
Damian, Casey, Keaton and Destiny are all quite aware of their surroundings and are extremely observant. They are very bonded with one another and need a home that will reunite them and keep them together. They very much want and need a permanent place to call home. They are all kids who are eager to please. An ideal family for these children would be a two-parent home with a strong male figure and good communication skills. With a good balance of nurturing and affection and discipline. Because all of the children take people at their word, a family must be one that is dependable, reliable, and is clear about what will and will not happen.
Damian, Casey, Keaton and Destiny are all wonderful children who deserve so much love, and they would be a great addition to an already strong family!
THESE CHILDREN ARE CURRENTLY ON HOLD. NO ADDITIONAL INQUIRIES ARE BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME!
