There are children in state care ranging in age from 12-18 that need your help today!! Each different in their own way with one common thread that ties them, the need for a family.
Here are just two of the many kids that need both temporary and permanent homes. Call 203-394-8506 for more information on the children and how you can help.
Matt
Matt is a beautiful 12 year old Caucasian and Hispanic boy. He loves to play and is described as a “joy to be a round.” Matt seeks and loves receiving attention from those who care for him. Matt is athletic with a great sense of humor and a great imagination! Despite his trauma history, Matt is very driven by relationships with others and is legally free for adoption. Matt would thrive in a two parent home that are devoted and have experience working with children with intellectual disabilities. He would most benefit from a home that can provide him with love, consistency, and structure.
Beth
Beth is a bright and friendly 13-year old girl. Despite having endured significant trauma, Beth is able to articulate that she longs to be in a family setting. Beth enjoys doing arts and crafts and loves animals. Beth also enjoys spending time with people that care about her. Beth is working hard on her treatment goals to become healthier, both mentally and emotionally. Beth continues to remain focused on the desire to transition to a family and has her heart set on having a place to call “home.” Beth would thrive with a dedicated, same sex female couple that will embrace and support her in a loving, safe, and structured environment.
