Meet 13 year old Amanda and her 11 year old brother, Anders! We met these sweet siblings for the first time during our Superkids trip to Taiwan in November. It was wonderful getting know them, as they were both very personable.
Amanda shared that her favorite animals are cats – and she has 7 at home! She loves to take care of them and play with them. She also enjoys painting with watercolors, singing and dancing. She is even in a dance club at school! Like many girls her age, she loves the K-Pop band, BTS. When we asked her to describe herself, she told us she is active, optimistic, and an assistant to her teachers. She wants to a hair stylist when she grows up.
Amanda is currently in the 7th grade. She gets some extra help in school and with homework. Amanda takes medication for ADHD and mild Tourette Syndrome (eye squinting/rubbing when anxious).
Anders was described by his foster mother as adventurous, clever, considerate, and nice. He likes playing sports and his favorites are basketball and badminton. He also enjoys drawing and playing with Legos. He is currently in the 5th grade. Even though he told us English was his least favorite subject in school, Anders was especially proud to show off his English skills to us! He counted in English, said his ABC’s, “thank you”, and even wrote his name in English!
Anders told us that he wants to be a police officer when he grows up because he thinks that he will look handsome in the uniform. I have no doubt about it, Anders! Anders has no medical needs.
Our hope is that Amanda and Anders can be adopted together. To review their profile information, please email mary.chapman@gladney.org.
