Faces Of Hope

     Quamere, 13, has many talents.  He excels at origami and writing.  When he is inside, he loves using the computer and testing his skills at video games.  He also enjoys playing baseball and other outdoor activities.  In the sixth grade, he is a good student.  Math is his favorite subject.  He is delighted when he is praised for a job well done.

     Kwadre, 11, loves animals, so it is no surprise that his favorite activities include watching Animal Planet on television and playing with the dog in his foster home.  Other favorite pastimes include watching cartoons and listening to music.  He is learning to communicate and to express his feelings more effectively and to deal with change.

     Lynwood channels some of his boundless energy into football and other sports.  Like his older brother, he happily spends many hours playing video and computer games.  A charming 10-year-old, Lynwood can be quite comical at times.  He loves receiving individual attention.  He does well when he clear boundaries are set for him.

     Lamar, nine, has excellent manners and is eager to please.  A bit shy when meeting new people, he soon warms up to them.  Lamar enjoys sports and outdoor activities.  However, when he becomes overwhelmed, he likes some quiet time by himself or with a trusted adult for one-on-one time.

     The siblings' greatest wish is to be adopted together.  They would thrive with a patient, loving supportive family that would allow them to grow up together and help them reach their potential.  The boys realize that it might not be possible for all of them to be adopted by the same family, but hope that they may be adopted by families who live close enough to each other that the boys will be able to visit one another.  They are eligible for financial subsidy.
