Adoption Corner
Abba
Hello my name is ABBA……and I am a 10 year-old, cooperative, good-natured and kindhearted young lady. I love sports and had the opportunity to play basketball and softball this year. I would really like to play football this coming school year. I am competitive and do not like to lose. Being a good sport is something I really need to work on. I love outdoor activities and enjoy staying busy. I am a healthy child with no medical problems and only see the doctor for yearly check-ups. I am currently in the 4th grade and do relatively well, but at times I need some assistance in Math. I do very well with a lot of positive praise. Please call my adoption worker,Suzie, to find out more about me.
River
Let me introduce myself…..My name is River and I am very friendly and enjoy playing outside with my cars and trucks. There are times when I act a “little defiant” by glaring, refusing to do things that are asked of me and, sometimes, I may throw a temper tantrum. I currently take Ritalin for ADD behaviors. My foster mother and my teachers have noticed a huge improvement in my behavior. I am going to be in kindergarten this year as I tested in the top quarter of my class. I am very spirited and have a lot of personality. I would love to have a two-parent family that is able to show me love, nurturance, support, patience and structure. Please contact my adoption worker, Suzie, to find out more about me.
Jimmy
Jimmy is a child with an award-winning smile who enjoys playing outside, riding his bike, playing football, basketball, and baseball. He loves his remote control cars and video games. Jimmy takes pride in his appearance and likes to dress in nice clothes, however, he might need a reminder to practice good hygiene like most young boys. He is eager to please, affectionate, and enjoys a lot of attention from adults. Jimmy has been diagnosed with ADHD and is very active. He sometimes needs to be redirected. He does well with positive reinforcement. He is currently in the 3rd grade in a main stream school setting with some assistance. Jimmy requires a lot of help with homework.
If you love children and are able to make a lifelong commitment to a child, I look forward to hearing from you! Suzie M. Sidell, 419-663-5437 ext 3221
