Marcela is one of the most adorable little girls in Texas. She is very smart, pretty, polite, outgoing, energetic, huggable and very charming. Once you meet Marcela and look into those beautiful brown eyes you will want to take her home.

At first she tends to be a little shy, but once she "warms up" to you she is even more adorable. Marcela enjoys singing, watching television, playing with toys and coloring. Most importantly, she enjoys learning and sharing what she did at school.

Marcela needs a family who desires to work closely with her and the community. She also needs a family that is willing to encourage her to meet her full potential. She needs a "special" forever family!

Donald is the "baby" of the group. He is a joy to be around. Donald has a very high-pitched voice that is to die for. He enjoys coloring, playing outside, playing with his siblings, watching television, riding his bike and going to the park. Donald does not like to eat vegetables, but loves corn dogs, chicken and pasta.

Natasha is one of the friendliest children you will ever meet. She seems to always be cheerful and wearing a smile. She is eager to share with everyone what she has done at school. Natasha enjoys riding her bike, watching movies, playing with her Brat dolls, drawing and going to the park. She loves cookies and just about any dessert after finishing her meal.

Terry, the oldest, never meets a stranger. He welcomes everyone with open arms. Terry enjoys participating in outside activities, attending church, watching movies, eating out, skating, doing puzzles, riding a bike, kick ball and family gatherings. Most all, he enjoys anything with Spiderman and Batman on it, such as comic books.

Terry likes having a sense of control in everything he does. At times he taunts and aggravates his siblings more than normal.

We are looking for a family who will adopt all three children, a family who has patience, understanding, structure and consistency. Most importantly, we are looking for a family who is able to work through behavioral issues such as sexual acting out, physical aggression and educational delays.

Warren, Jason and Jerrell are three cute little peas in a pod. These little guys are very close in age. What a darling handful they are. It is absolutely critical that these brothers remain together as they are very attached to each other.

Warren is the oldest of this sibling group. He is always anxious to please. He is the caretaker of his two younger brothers. As the oldest child, Warren is very protective of his younger siblings. But don't let that fool you. Warren is quite shy and reserved. He doesn't talk much but rather observes his surroundings and takes it all in. He is a sensitive little boy and will cry quietly rather than throw a tantrum.

Warren is athletic. He is a big fan of anything Spiderman including action figures, cartoons, clothing and toys. Warren does well in school and is very well behaved. He responds well to corrective discipline and does not need to be told repeatedly to do something.

Warren is in preschool. He is learning his letters to write his name. He often chooses puzzles to work on during quiet time.

Jason is the middle child of this group of three. He is full of energy, very outgoing and loves to get into everything. "NO" is not a word he likes to hear and he is always determined to get his way.

Jason can be very engaging and will charm you into doing whatever he wants you to do for him. He likes to play outdoors and ride his tricycle. He is a fan of the shows Blue's Clues and Lightning McQueen from the Disney movie "Cars." If you want him to stay still for a little while, just pop in a Blues Clues movie. Jason likes to play with his toy cars and race them around the house. He does not like to share his toys and gets upset if one of his brothers dares to touch "his" toy.

Jason also attends preschool and does well, although he would rather skip his speech therapy class. He likes to be the boss at daycare and can be very loud and vocal if he does not get his way. If that doesn't work, he will start whining. He does respond well to rewards for good behavior. He has been diagnosed with Sensory Integration Issues. Jason hears and sees things differently than most people. He hears things louder than they are, so he often responds by yelling. Jason also has been diagnosed with asthma, but it is controlled by medication.

Jerrell may be the baby of the group but he sure tries to keep up with his brothers. He is observant and will compliment you on something that he likes about you. He is very outgoing and likes to play and roughhouse with his brothers.

Jerrell loves to play with toy trucks and could spend hours racing them around the house. He also likes to watch television and his favorite shows are Barney and Diego (Dora the Explorer's friend). He will be happy to sing the Barney song for you. Jerrell is a sweetheart. He is a very polite child, is affectionate and likes to give and get hugs.

Jerrell is in his "terrible-twos" and very much lives up to that legacy. He can throw a temper tantrum with the best of them, but he responds well to positive reinforcement. He attends pre-school with his older brothers. Jerrell also has asthma and takes medicine to control it. He has a very healthy appetite and never turns down seconds. He is one healthy and happy little boy.

These boys need a family with high-energy levels! The boys are constantly on the go and are in competition with each other for attention. In addition, they need a family that has the time and patience to work with them on a daily basis to help them achieve success in school and life.

Tesla is an adorable 16-year-old young lady with brown hair and gorgeous hazel eyes. She has an easy-going, friendly personality and enjoys being around people. A favorite activity of hers is hearing the popping of bubble wrap.

Tesla does not use words to communicate, but has been known to squeal when she wants to go to bed. Parental rights to Tesla have been terminated and her guardian would love for her to live in a family in the North Texas area.

Tesla appears to be a little small for her age, but still requires a two-person transfer. She would need someone to move her from place to place in her wheelchair and would also need assistance with all of her personal care needs such as bathing, dressing and toileting.

Tesla uses a "g-tube" for nourishment. Her diagnoses include: history of schizencephalic developmental brain anomaly, static encephalopathy, severe mental retardation, seizure disorder, cerebral palsy with generalized hypotonia, scoliosis and constipation.

We want a family who is active and patient.
