Meet Emery and Andre!

These bright, outgoing siblings share a strong bond that’s apparent the moment you meet them. Their playful teasing and natural ability to bring smiles to those around them make them a joy to be with.

Andre, who’s always full of energy, loves running. Emery has a knack for drawing, filling pages with her artwork. Emery is also an avid reader; from graphic novels to chapter books, this girl loves them all. Emery wishes she could spend more time going to the library every day, while Andre, a picture book lover, would love to take more trips to the arcade. Emery and Andre love to watch the latest Pixar films. They have a deep love for animals, and desire to have a pet. They all love Thanksgiving, enjoy school (with Emery being in choir and Andre taking ASL) and would love to take another trip to Florida. Their biggest commonality is that they love to snack! These kids are experts when it comes to treats (just ask them about all the different kinds of Skittles.) Another thing that Emery and Andre share? They are ready to have a family to call their own.

Emery and Andre are hoping for a home that is understanding and experienced in building strong, trusting relationships and where they can each have individual space. They would thrive in a safe, nurturing environment where they can continue to grow emotionally and feel supported.
