Bulletin #12930
Say hello to 5 year old TH and her 4 year old brother, LH. These two children are waiting for a loving family, with experienced and skilled parents.
TH is petite for her age and she is in good physical health. She has big grey eyes, and you will almost always catch her smiling. TH has some significant developmental delays that will require strong devotion, unconditional love, patience and understanding of her needs. She has qualified for Developmental Disability Services, which she can receive through adulthood. She wears glasses and will require future medical treatment to correct an eye condition. TH is very friendly and likes to engage in family games and events, but due to her past abuse, she will still need help understanding personal boundries and time to attach to her forever family.
LH is a bright and adorable boy, who is eager to please. LH has been attending preschool, where he is able to mainitain socially and acedemically with his peers. He is a curious and loving child, who needs lots of attention, guidence and reassurence.
TH and LH were placed in foster care in 2007. Both children were extreamly neglected and severely abused in their early lives, and as a result, they have behavioral and emotional needs that far exceed the average child. Both children have trouble sleeping and can be prone to traumatic recall of events. It is essential that the adoptive parents be educated and/or willing to learn about the unique parenting that these children require.
An adoptive family that would best meet the needs of these children would be two, experienced parents, with no younger children in the home, as TH and LH can become aggressive and have significant boundry issues. A strong, stay-at-home parent, who can advocate and be involved in their educational and treatment needs would be best.
