Michelle and Shawn
Shawn and Michelle are precious siblings who need a family to keep them together and provide the nurturing, love, and safety that they need to thrive. They have been together since their placement in foster care, and need to stay together. They find safety and comfort in each others’ company, though they sometimes don’t appear to have a strong connection to each other. Together they enjoy playing board games and playing the Wii, but coloring and art projects are both of their favorite activities.
Shawn is a sweet boy with a bright smile and tender heart. He enjoys games and is good at strategy. He loves to color and draw and uses these activities to calm himself when he is anxious. Shawn has made significant progress in his foster home, where he and Michelle have been for over two years. He likes to play his DS, play the Wii, and can get very focused on his video games. He also loves to read, and his favorite books are Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Harry Potter.
Michelle is a bright young girl who needs security and stability to realize her full potential. She has a difficult time expressing herself and will often remain silent instead of trying to communicate. Her foster mother said that she responds best when clear expectations and consistent rules and boundaries are in place. She does well when she has rewards she can earn.
Michelle loves animals, and wants to be a Veterinarian when she grows up. She loves the color purple, and all things girly, like getting her nails done, fixing her hair pretty and dressing up.
Michell’s primary interest and focus is in art. She enjoys being able to create beautiful things through coloring, painting, or whatever mediums are available, and uses art to express herself.
The adoption team is looking for a two-parent family, or a very skilled single parent, where they can be either the only children, or the much youngest.
