The Children

Aly is 18 years old and attending cosmetology school. She is passionate about performing arts. She has been dancing since she was in kindergarten and was on the high school dance team, which she loved. She loves singing and took vocal lessons for many years. She has played the piano and violin and guitar. She has participated as supporting cast many musicals and loved the experience. She plans to attend college after receiving her cosmetology licence, majoring in music.

Aly is a wonderful big sister. She will play Nintendo with her brother, when he asks, and they love playing the game Trouble. If he gets hurt she is quick to offer a comforting hug. Aly's parents trust her completely and ask her to babysit when they go out on dates, which she willingly helps out with.

Aly was an only child for 10 long years. Each year for Christmas, she would ask Santa for a little brother or sister. Imagine her excitement when we found out she was finally going to have one! Sometimes little brothers can be a pain (they love to tease!) but overall, they have a great relationship! For example, her brother will come up and give her a big hug and say 'I'm sorry' when he's gotten into her bedroom. The hug makes up for the intrusion.

Aly is excited that we plan to move forward with adoption. We know that she will love her new brother or sister and treat him/her with respect and devotion and love.

Aly is a great big sister!!!

Adam is eight years old. He is in 2nd grade and loves going to school!!! He's sweet and loving and believe it or not, he still loves to sit on his mom's lap and cuddle in the mornings after he wakes up!!
He's also very intense, and does everything with a passion that can't be equalled. He is the biggest Michael Jackson fan in our town. He loves the music of MJ as well as the dance moves. Sometimes, when he thinks no one is watching, we catch him Moon Walking across the kitchen floor.

Adam loves to read and learn about many different things. He loves marine life like whales and dolphins. He can identify many sharks by just looking at them. He is fascinated by the Titanic and thinks that every April 15 we should commemerate the day the great boat sank!
He started piano lessons in kindergarten and is a fast learner. He also wants to learn how to play the violin and the "rock and roll guitar" because he already has plans to start his own band!!

Adam prays regularly for a brother or a sister to join our family. One thing he always says is, 'Mom, after we get our baby....' It's definitely something that is on his radar!! We think he would make a wonderful big brother and we know that he would be helpful and loving.

We love our pets too! We have a dog, Lola who is an important member of our family. She is a fun loving mix --cock-a-poo -- which combines two great breeds; cocker spaniel and poodle.
