Foster Children and Teens in Need of Families in New Hampshire

Siblings Ricardo, age 11, and Alicia, age 7

Ricardo, an 11 year old, is an athletic, honest, and social boy who is a serious-minded student. His favorite activity is playing baseball. He needs to be adopted by a family along with his 7-year-old sister Alicia. She is adorable, playful, and inquisitive. She loves to draw. Currently, she is focused on building her reading skills in school. Both of these siblings are fun to be with and are doing very well behaviorally. Alicia needs help with her gaining reading skills. Because of state confidentiality laws that help protect children, these are not the children’s real names.

Families who can embrace this brother and sister and help them fulfill all their potential will be a good match. Ricardo and Alicia get along well with other children, but Casey staff believes they will do best in a household where they can receive lots of nurturing attention. Although these children with multicultural backgrounds, they are adaptable enough to be in a family who doesn’t share their heritage. They would benefit, however, by having their Hispanic roots honored by a new family. Ricardo and Alicia do have birth family connections that also need to be honored and cultivated by an adoptive family.

These are children who are ready and willing to receive good, strong parenting.

Alicia and Ricardo have been in the New Ipswich schools for a year and it would be preferable to continue there and maintain connections to friends and community supports.
