It's all great. I love to read the forms and see some people's creativity! Reading yours was actually refreshing. This was probably my favorite response to write. (: Sorry for the length.
Please welcome siblings
Allegra Juliet and
Indigo Willoughby into your family! They are, respectively, 11 and 8 years old. They are very close and the agency has been extensively searching for a family that would adopt both, as to not separate them. Their single mother died six years ago and they have been living with a great aunt. The aunt's health has been quickly deteriorating and she is now is a nursing home, leaving the children with no other living relatives. Their aunt raised them in a gender neutral environment and always encouraged them to follow their heart, wherever it may lead them.
Allegra is going through puberty and has already been noticing girls in the way that most girls notice boys, yet no one has hastened to term her feelings by society's standards. She enjoys a wide variety of hobbies. Some include running track, shopping and hanging out with friends, reading and writing, putting together puzzles and solving word games, dancing, and playing outside. She is very self confident and is really open-minded. She has been scared and confused lately, with her great aunt being admitted to a nursing home and going through foster care, and she could really use someone to talk to, and that person needn't be a professional, just someone who cares. Her little brother is her best friend and they are often together.
Indigo tends to be a bit more reserved and on-guard than his sister. He has few friends and seldom opens up. He looks up to
Allegra and tells her everything, and always looks to her first for advice. He is very interested in science and music. He likes to sit outside and night and look at the stars, and he has a vast knowledge of the constellations. He is also very interested in anatomy and physiology: he wants to know what everything in the body is and precisely what it does. He loves to read about different musicians and learn as much as he can about them and how they influenced music. He has an amazing memory and can often recollect most details about something he scanned over just once. He thinks that someday when he is an adult he would like to be a music therapist and help people heal through music, though he isn't sure.
They have a cat they would like to bring. He is a tabby / siamese mix, about two years old, that they rescued.
The children, if your family allowed, would like to keep in contact with their great aunt and possibly visit her in the nursing home on occasions.
Please keep the agency updated on how
Allegra and
Indigo adjust!
