MATCHED!!

Gladney's Superkids team met Kade in Taiwan in November 2019 and we are excited to announce that we have just received significant updates to his file! We now have extensive photos and videos of Kade that show his personality, how he interacts with his foster mother, him performing tasks that capture his fine and gross motor abilities, him explaining his drawings, and much, much more!

MATCHED!!

Meet Adeline! Adeline is an adorable little girl who recently celebrated her 8th birthday and finished the 1st grade! Adeline is similar to many other 8-year-olds in that she is energetic, outgoing, and enthusiastic. She likes playing with dolls and she shares that her favorite colors are green, red, and pink - but she dislikes white!  We can tell that Christmas time is going to be her holiday! Green and red galore! Her other hobbies include drawing and outdoor activities such as playing in the water. Sometimes Adeline expresses overly excited behavior. Her foster parents are working to teach her the importance of monitoring her safety and regulating her emotions. 

Meet Scarlett! Scarlett is 10 years old with a bright, sunny, and contagious smile. She is a very personable child and has a strong acceptability of others. Scarlett likes being outside and staying active. She enjoys skipping rope, playing basketball, and hula-hooping. Wait until you see her videos! She has great control of her body movements and can show off her fine and gross motor skills through arts and crafts.

Oh my! It took us no time at all to fall in love with Asa! We met him when we were in Taiwan in November of 2019 and he is such a personable little guy! He is vibrant and curious and loves to laugh.

Meet Sullivan! Sullivan recently celebrated his 11^th birthday.  His file describes him as ‘a handsome and sunshine boy’. What a compliment!

Last year while in the first grade, Sullivan was selected to be the classroom monitor and he continues to maintain excellent school records. He loves to run and his favorite activity is skipping rope! Sullivan gets along very well with his classmates and his physical and intellectual development is comparable to other 11-year-old children.

Sean recently celebrated his 4^th birthday. Sean is a quiet child and has a ready smile.  He likes interacting with others, finds it funny to be played with, and likes to be cuddled. His favorite activities include bouncing! His file was updated in March of 2020 and shows Sean is making tremendous growth and improvements. His original file indicated he could roll over from his back to his stomach. Now he is learning to walk with a walker and practices his balance twice a day! What a strong little guy! What’s even cuter? When he sees a familiar adult, he takes little hops of joy and excitement towards them.

Oh how I wish we could share Ace and Avery’s photos publicly – they are too precious! Ace will be turning 8 years old in August, and Avery is 5 years old. To see photos of these adorable siblings, be sure to join our private Taiwan Advocacy Facebook group.

Sully loves sports!  He just celebrated his 10th birthday on Saturday!  He is described as a healthy child who is honest, smart and clever!

Sidney will soon turn 8!  Sidney may be quiet but she sure does love to smile! 

Her nanny likes to braid her hair and dress her up!  She loves dance, clapping her hands and listening to music.  She enjoys playing outside, especially playing with balls.  She is curious about the world around her.
