a waiting child holds a toy

Meet Lily! She needs an adoptive family. Could you or someone you know be the right fit for this sweet 4-year-old?

Lily is a beautiful little girl who loves music, puzzles, Peppa Pig and Dora the Explorer! She especially enjoys singing and can hum familiar melodies. She responds enthusiastically to the songs taught by her teacher, remembers the tunes and tries to sing along. Although her articulation of the lyrics is not totally clear, she expresses her love for music in her own way. For example, she particularly enjoys singing the national anthem.

Lily enjoys sitting and playing quietly, especially when she has fun, interesting toys. She tends to be shy when she meets new people and takes time to warm up to them. Lily currently lives with a foster family and enjoys playing with the two older girls in the home. She is learning to independently dress herself, brush her teeth and wash her face. She can use the bathroom independently, feed herself and tidy up her toys on her own.

She is learning new things in school each day and receives weekly occupational, speech and physical therapy. Lily also receives support with special education in the classroom. She is continuing to grow in her speech development and can speak in simple sentences to express her thoughts. An ideal adoptive family for Lily would be patient and kind. With access to educational and therapeutic resources, she will grow and thrive in an adoptive family.
