3 more Inquiries

I want to inquire on all children that are a possible match for us, because many if not most have several families inquiring on them. So if they fit our age range or close enough, and look or sound cute- I just can't help myself. Unfortunately, the only case worker to ever get back to me is one right here in Las Vegas. Andre is the case worker for Cyrus, Sean & Kelsey, and Ricky- (who we have ruled out because of his angry outburts) One case worker from Utah I guess also emailed but they preferred not to place "Gage" in a home with any siblings under 10 because he too- is very violent. :(

Tonight I inquired on these 3 profiles:
Randel R. "Randy" 6 years old
If you like being outside, you have got to meet Randel, an outdoor kind of boy! Riding bikes, playing with friends, and watching movies are top priorities. His creativity is expressed in the things he builds with LEGOs. A kindergartener, Randel who likes to be called "Randy", likes school and benefits from an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). Energetic and charming, he interacts well with peers and adults. He participates in speech and occupational therapies, as well as counseling, which may need to continue after placement. There is a sister with whom he remains in contact. His caseworker will consider all family types for Randy.


Kareem & Tanaya 8 & 7 yrs. old
Kareem’s (Gilpin) name should be synonymous for “all boy.” Whether it’s toys or games, you can bet Kareem is looking for the most “manly” of activities. This mild-mannered, energetic kiddo likes to fish, play outside, ride his bike, and play with figurines. He enjoys playing catch and is hoping for the opportunity to participate in sports someday. Kareem looks up to his older brother who is being placed separately, and watches out for his younger sister. Very tolerant in nature, this child seldom acts out. As a second grader, Kareem gets along well with others. He is currently attending counseling, which will need to continue after placement. Becoming a starlet may just be the perfect future career for Tanaya. She loves to be the center of attention and does well expressing herself. This young girl shows affection often, really enjoys one-on-one time with adults, and gives great hugs! Her older brother may be all boy but Tanaya is all girl. She loves to dress-up and play with any “girly” toy she can get her hands on. Though this fun child enjoys attention, she adapts well and can easily transition to playing happily and being perfectly content by herself. She adores her older brothers. Tanaya is currently attending the first grade. She is benefiting from counseling, which will need to continue after placement. This terrific two-some is searching for a forever family who will love and provide them with a stable environment, and who will be supportive of contact with their older brother. If your family is interested in Kareem and Tanaya, we urge you to inquire.



Elijah F - 8 years old
This is Elijah! A little shy at the start, he will settle in nicely to listen while you read a good book to him. He likes to run and play basketball, and when he's not fully in motion, you might find him playing video games. Dogs, cats, hot dogs, cheese pizza, and the color blue are all favorites, but what he would really like is to be a Boy Scout. In second grade, Elijah benefits from an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). He participates in speech, physical, and occupational therapies, as well as counseling, which may need to continue following placement. This great guy thrives on structure and a predictable schedule, and his caseworker will consider all family types for him.
