We are looking for a home study ready family who can move fast on adopting these precious siblings. To learn more or inquire, please email Kimberly Elstun at colombia@ccaifamily.org.

Evie, 10 years

Evie is becoming increasingly independent and enjoys forming social relationships, especially with her school friends. Her problem-solving and decision-making skills are improving, and while she still benefits from guidance, she shows growing confidence. At school, Evie is responsible with her homework, though she can occasionally get distracted. Her strong cognitive abilities include logical thinking and comprehension in reading and writing, with academic success depending on her motivation and support.

Evie has a rich vocabulary and expresses herself clearly, enjoying storytelling, describing experiences, and asking thoughtful questions. She communicates effectively with adults while adjusting her tone with peers, showing curiosity and engagement with her surroundings.

Kind and empathetic, Evie is respectful to adults and attentive to peers and siblings. Her caring actions and natural leadership make others feel comfortable around her. She excels in reading, math, and organizational skills, adapts well to changes in routine, and makes independent decisions, although she occasionally seeks reassurance from trusted adults.

Evie is talented in the performing arts, excelling in singing and acting. She has participated in acting and singing programs and frequently shines as the star in plays.

Dan, 7 years

Dan, Evie’s younger brother by three years, is a curious and active child who learns at his own pace. His speech and language skills have improved significantly, enabling him to pronounce words clearly and communicate better. He can describe activities he enjoys and is gradually engaging more with peers and caregivers.

Dan counts to 20, understands basic math concepts, and is learning to write his name. He knows concepts like day and night, demonstrates good balance, and enjoys physical activities such as running, jumping, and soccer. He has strong soccer skills, loves capoeira, and enjoys creating origami and drawings with attention to detail.

Dan is becoming more independent, dressing himself with minimal help, and is learning self-regulation strategies to manage frustration. His academic performance has improved this year, and he shows an eagerness to learn. With the support of speech therapy, he has become more confident in expressing his thoughts.

Empathetic and friendly, Dan enjoys interacting with others, resolving simple conflicts, and seeking affection from caregivers. Outdoor play, especially soccer and skateboarding, brings him happiness, while indoors, he enjoys playing with cars, car tracks, and coloring.

Sally, 4 years

Sally, three years younger than Dan, is a bright and imaginative little girl thriving in kindergarten. She enjoys playing with peers, practicing sharing, and forming connections. Her expanding vocabulary allows her to tell stories, ask questions, and grasp basic concepts. She loves engaging in creative and symbolic play, as well as activities like coloring and storytelling.

While Sally is progressing well, she has a speech and language condition and some behavior challenges that require ongoing therapy. She benefits from support to express herself more clearly and manage frustration effectively.

Sally is independent in many routines, such as toileting and handwashing, and is eager to explore new things. Her kindness and empathy make her a caring presence among friends, and she builds positive relationships with peers and caregivers. Sally loves outdoor play and thrives when surrounded by supportive figures who encourage her confidence and curiosity.

Ernie, 2 years

Ernie, the youngest sibling and two years younger than Sally, is a sweet toddler making steady progress despite developmental delays. His fine motor skills include throwing and catching balls, stringing beads, building cube towers, and turning book pages. He follows two- and three-step instructions and enjoys simple pretend play, like feeding a toy or using a pretend phone. His gross motor development is improving with physiotherapy, and he is learning to crawl and sit with greater control.

In terms of language, Ernie makes consistent eye contact, responds to his name, and uses gestures to communicate. He imitates simple words, sounds, and animal noises, though his expressive language remains limited. Speech therapy focuses on helping him interact with his environment and express his needs more effectively.

Ernie enjoys visual and auditory stimuli, especially music, and is curious about objects. He understands simple commands, recognizes his name, and uses self-soothing behaviors, like head-turning, to manage overstimulation.

Ernie is cooperative in routines but may become irritable during tasks like diaper changes. He eats well but feels anxious if not fed first in group settings. With continued therapy and support, Ernie is making strides in his motor, language, and emotional development.

These precious siblings need a patient, loving home with a mom and dad who will nurture their growth and provide the care they deserve. Could you be the family their hearts are longing for? Reach out to our Colombia team to learn more!
