Meet Three Kids Who Want to Stay Connected: Siblings waiting this December

December 20, 2017 by Staff Contributor

The hands of two African America siblings. Their sister is out of focus in the background.These siblings are being advocated for separately—meaning we need to find three loving homes for them to join. However, their adoptive families must commit to maintaining frequent contact between the siblings so that they can continue to have a relationship.

Get to Know Makayla*

Makayla is an energetic, fun, 12-year-old girl! She is quiet when you first meet her and opens up as you gain her trust! She enjoys playing outside, swimming, biking, karate and playing basketball! Makayla also enjoys hip hop music, movies and cartoons. She has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh.

Makayla would do best in a two-parent family that could provide structure and positive encouragement. She would benefit from being the youngest child in the home and joining a family that has a dog. Her adoptive family will also have to maintain contact with Makayla’s siblings.

Get to Know Anthony*

Anthony is a fun and active 10-year-old boy! He is quiet when you first meet him, but warms up after talking with him for awhile.  Others describe him as a fun and active child who is curious and spontaneous. Anthony is also helpful, caring and thoughtful.  He enjoys playing video games, watching television, jumping on the trampoline, playing basketball, riding his bike and skateboarding. He also likes school and trying new things.

Anthony would do best in a two-parent family that could provide structure and clear expectations. The ideal family would be active and enjoy doing a lot of activities. They will also have to maintain contact with Anthony’s siblings.

Get to Know Jeremy*

Jeremy is an outgoing, friendly and happy 9-year-old boy! He is funny, charismatic and likes to be goofy! Jeremy likes to read, play games and loves music and Star Wars! He is learning to swim, play basketball and also enjoys doing  yoga and anything active and athletic.

A family for Jeremy would be active and enjoy spending time outside. He would benefit from having a positive male role model in his life. Jeremy is okay with living in a rural area or the city. He would do best with a family that has older children. His family must be willing to maintain contact with his siblings.

*Names have been changed and a stock photo has been used to protect the privacy of these children.

Details to Note

The majority of costs to Minnesota clients adopting a child under Minnesota state guardianship are covered by a contract with the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

Learn More About These Siblings

If you would like to know more about any of these children, please contact Cara Ericksen at [email protected] or 651-255-2268. Families may have to provide certain documentation to receive full information.

Meet oTHER WAITING CHILDREN

During December we are advocating for 12 children and sibling groups who currently wait for families. We appreciate any time you take to get to know these children and consider whether your family, or a family you know, could be theirs.
