     Quiet and shy when you first meet her, Mahogany, 10, becomes quite talkative when she gets to know you.  Enrolled in the fourth grade in regular classes, she receives little help in reading.  Mahogany loves being a big sister to her sisters Adriene, eight, and Brittany, five.  In separate foster homes, the siblings are very close and look forward to their visits.

     Adriene, eight is the social butterfly of her third grade classroom.  Although she may socialize a bit too much at times, her teacher speaks very highly of her.  Therapy is helping Adriene and Mahogany deal with emotional issues resulting from the many separations and losses they have experienced.

     Brittany, five, is a little bundle of energy.  She loves listening to music on the radio and can sing along to just about any song.  She loves to spend time with her older sisters, so it was a special treat for her when the three girls visited the Wilmington Drama League, recently. 

     The siblings love to be the center of attention and thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon on the stage.  With the help of the theater's acting coach, the girls used props and puppets to create their own puppet show.  They also sang and danced, illuminated by a spotlight.

     Although the sisters have various hobbies and interests, they have one important thing in common--the desire to be adopted by the same family so they can grow up together.  These delightful girls would bring joy to the family that welcomes them into their home.

     Often people think of babies when they hear the word "adoption".  There are, however, relatively few infants in the foster care system awaiting permanent homes.  The majority of the children are school age.  Some are siblings who need to be adopted together.

     Adoptive parents do not need to have a specific income and they do not need to own their own homes.  This kind of adoption is virtually free and many of the children are eligible for financial subsidy.

     Please contact the National Adoption Center, 1500 Walnut Street, Suite 701, Philadelphia, PA 19102 if you would like more information about adopting children out of the foster care system.  Call today for a free packet of information, 215-735-9988 or visit the website at www.adopt.org.
