Wednesday's Children Sarenatee and Aliyah

Weekly Feature: Sarenatee and Aliyah

Sarenatee and Aliyah are very close African American sisters who get along well with other kids and are happiest when they spend time together, with other family, and with friends. They enjoy jumping on a trampoline, playing games that involve drawing, and, when at school, learning about math and participating in art class. Future football player Sarenatee, born in 2010, is a bubbly and caring child who enjoys playing and watching flag football. She also enjoys journaling, drawing, making beaded bracelets, and watching anime and online videos. Future cheerleader Aliyah, born in 2013, is a kind and well-behaved child who enjoys trying new things and participating in and watching gymnastics. She also enjoys drawing, playing games, decorating cookies, reading her Bible, watching cartoons, and participating in PE class at school. Sarenatee and Aliyah need a loving adoptive family who will give them the attention, support, encouragement, structure, and nurturing environment they need to continue to thrive and reach their goals. Their family will also need to support their desire to maintain their relationships with their siblings who have been planned for separately.
