Does your family have an active interest in First Nations culture? Are you hoping to find children who are warm, loving and spirited to share your lives? If so, you may wish to learn more about Alanna, Aisha and Pierce. These delightful siblings have a great affection for each other and build strong bonds with people who have positive influence in their lives.
Eldest sibling, Alanna is a person of contrasts. She can be a fierce competitor in sports activities. In fact she has, in the past, been named “Most Valuable Player” in her mixed youth-adult soccer team. She also has a tender, sensitive and compassionate side. She can be determined and strong willed, but also shy and needy of reassurance that she is doing well and appreciated. As teenager, she keeps busy with many activities. She enjoys Air Cadets and is involved in an after-school youth group. She is musically gifted and plays saxophone with the school band – an instrument that she learned to play very quickly and very well.
Alanna gets on well with other children and adults. She may have been affected by pre-natal alcohol exposure and does better in a calm environment where she is not overwhelmed by noise and activities. In school she needs extra help in with reading, writing and math but is otherwise developmentally right on track.
Aisha’s foster mother describes this sweet little girl as a “flower”. Aisha is bubbly, sociable and affectionate. She loves “all things girl”: pretty things, helping her foster mom in the house and showing little kindnesses to the people in her life. She is talented in her drawing and colouring activities. She also shows promise in her athletic activities, which include soccer and swimming. Although not the eldest, Aisha is described as having an inner wisdom that has a calming effect on her siblings. In school she is, so far, keeping up with her peers academically and her gentle, co-operative nature endears her to others in the school environment.
Youngest child, Pierce, is a self assured, confident little guy who is capable of talking “a mile a minute”. A typical boy, he can be spunky, strong willed and perhaps a little mischievous. Like his sisters, he is quite athletic. He loves skateboarding and likes sports such as hockey and soccer. Pierce is a friendly, sociable little boy who enjoys cuddles and gets on well with most of the people he meets. He is very bright academically and is doing well in his preschool.
This terrific trio need an adoptive family that will provide the love and encouragement to help them reach their goals. The children would do well with other brothers or sisters. Their adoptive parents will need to have some knowledge of the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure and should be prepared to accept openness with the children’s birth mother and former foster parents. An Aboriginal family would be preferred, or a family that will actively help them to remain involved with their cultural heritage.
