Philippines Sibling Group of 4 - Waiting for a Family
In 2011, these four siblings were brought into care of the orphanage. Their mother was in the hospital and their grandmother could not care for them. The children have been legally relinquished by their mother, who wants them to have a chance at a good future; the children's father is deceased.
There are three girls, ages 10, 6 and 5 years of age. There is one boy, who is 8 years-old. The two younger girls are very close and behave more like twins. The boy has a strong personality and voices his opinion when the siblings are in conversation.
The children understand what adoption means and are looking forward to having a new family. They believe that their new parents will take good care of them and not allow bad things to happen to them.
The older children are attending school and the 6 year-old girl has started pre-school.
Madison Adoption Associates is seeking an adoptive family who can accept the history of the mother and children. The new family must be patient and understand that these children have suffered neglect and instability in their lives. The adoptive family should be experienced with raising older children in order to deal with the unique behaviors of each child. The parents should be educated about the affects of institutional care and attachment.
These four children are very bright and have the potential to be successful in school and other endeavors if given a loving and healthy family environment in which to grow and thrive.
