If you are sporty, energetic, and in search of an instant family, these
three boys will most certainly fill your home with love and activity!
Meet Jack, Jarrett and Madison, three siblings who share a talent for
athletics and a desire to settle into a forever family.
Jack, the eldest of
the three, is described as likeable, intelligent, and always eager
to lend a hand. In fact Jack often took on the role of caretaker for
his younger brothers in their biological family, where they experienced
significant neglect. Jack has learned to let his foster parents take over
the adult responsibilities which has freed him up to pursue his interests
in team sports and art. Drawing is a favourite pastime, for which Jack has
quite a knack! He plays football on a community team and follows hockey with
great interest, watching games and keeping statistics. He also enjoys swimming,
snowboarding, basketball, bike riding – you name it! He is a ‘regular’ in
the local street hockey games and has a number of friends in the neighbourhood
whom he enjoys playing with.
Jarrett sounds just like his older brother! He
excels in both gym and art at school, plays football and is an avid
fan of hockey. Social and engaging, Jarrett gets along well with kids
at school and in the neighbourhood. He does well academically and does
not show many signs of having been effected by prental exposure to drugs.
Jarrett describes himself as ‘athletic and handsome’, and is described by
others as ‘polite, imaginative, easygoing, and funny’. His skin is sensitive
and can be prone to infection, but otherwise his health is good and
allows him to pursue his many interests in sports such as soccer, swimming
and snowboarding.
Madison may be the youngest but he has not been left behind
in terms of athletic talent! The star player on his community football
team, Madison’s superior skills don’t get in the way of him being a
team player. Indeed, he is charming, chatty and eager to be involved
in social activities. He also enjoys annoying his older siblings, a rite
of passage for any younger brother! Madison is very active with high energy.
He takes medication for ADHD and has a mild speech impediment, but does well
overall in school. He was exposed to drugs prentally and possibly alcohol,
but despite these setbacks, Madison has remained a positive and affectionate
child with many appealing qualities.
Anyone would agree these three
lovely boys deserve another chance at having a permanent family to
call their own. As you could have guessed, an active, two parent family with
lots of energy and an interest in sports would be ideal. Having an involved
Dad would also serve as a great role model and would be very healing for
the boys. Other children and pets in the home would be welcome. Openness
with the previously adopted siblings, the foster family, and some contact
with birth parents is expected.
