MATCHED!

Argyll is a sweet 9 year old boy who is a very good student. He makes almost all A’s in school and learns easily. When we met him in November he found math problems very easy and put together our most complicated LEGO set with no assistance. He reads and writes in Mandarin.

He likes playing with a yo-yo and enjoys running outside. He really loved the Q-Bitz game we had with us and did some of the most difficult cards!

Kash will be turning 3 years old in April and we were lucky enough to spend some time with him during our Superkids trip to Taiwan in November. He is an active little guy who wasn’t wary of us strangers! He was curious and enjoyed playing with our different toys. He can grasp objects and scribble on a paper with a crayon. He is saying a few words – mama, sister, uh-oh.

We met Kent for the first time on his 6th birthday last fall! Since this was his first time meeting us, he was pretty shy. We could tell that he has a close relationship with his foster mother as he looked to her for reassurance and followed her directions. In fact, his foster mother described him as “a little prince”! She said that he is sweet, cuddly, active, and likes attention.

Are you ready for some cuteness?! Check out Lola, so fancy in her red dress with her hair in a little ponytail! I’m thinking bows would be a hit!

Her file describes her as active, cheerful, smart and clever. She is loved by teachers and caretakers.

MATCHED!!

 

We met sweet, shy Adalyn last spring shortly before she turned 7 years old, and I’ve thought about her often. We could tell she was nervous to meet with us, which is understandable, but slowly over the morning we saw more of her personality shine through. Her caregivers described her as gentle, easy-going, but that she can also have a bit of stubborn streak.
