Coralina is ten years old. She is a sparkling mix of many wonderful things. On one hand, she loves the great outdoors and feels right at home playing in the sunshine. On the other hand, she is a total girly girl. She loves getting her hair styled, choosing bright colors for her nails, playing with her dolls, and going on shopping trips to Target to find the perfect new treasure. Coralina is also a fantastic student, proudly earning her spot on the A/B Honor Roll. When she isn’t reading her favorite thick chapter books, she is hanging out at the Boys & Girls Club, which is her absolute favorite place to socialize.
Big brother, Jordan, who is eleven, is the kind of brother who could make anyone laugh. Just like Coralina, he loves being outside and spending his afternoons at the Boys & Girls Club. But Jordan also has a mind like an engineer. He is incredibly hands-on and loves nothing more than building things, working on complex STEM style projects, and figuring out how the world works.
For Jordan, the absolute best part of going to school is seeing his huge circle of friends.
Coralina and Jordan know exactly what their biggest dream is …. More than anything in the world, they want to be adopted together. They dream of a loving mother and father who would open their hearts to both of them, so they could grow up side-by-side in a forever home.

Meet Ray. He’s 16 years old, bursting with energy, and ready to take on the world—especially if that world involves the great outdoors. Whether he is walking, running, swimming, or simply exploring a new trail, Ray is happiest when he’s moving.
Ray has a natural curiosity that drives him to discover new places. He loves visiting different parks and outdoor spaces, always eager to learn about his surroundings. But Ray also knows how to channel that focus into his independent hobbies. He loves hands-on activities that let him think and explore at his own pace, like working on a complex puzzle or creating a new masterpiece in a coloring book. In fact, at school, you will often find him thriving in his art class or giving it his all in athletics.
When it’s time to refuel, Ray is all about a good home-cooked meal. Chicken, fresh fruit, and pizza are some of his absolute favorites. And if you really want to make him smile, just bring out the baked goods. Ray has a major sweet tooth, and a dessert featuring vanilla custard tops his list every single time.
As Ray looks ahead to his future, he wants his forever family to know two very important things: first, he has a deep love for cats and dogs, and he would absolutely thrive in a home with household pets. Second, he is looking for parents who share his love for the outdoors—someone who will jump into activities with him, explore new trails by his side, and provide the steady guidance and support he needs as he journeys into adulthood. 
Ray is a sweet, active, and a hands-on young man who is ready to find his forever Family. If you are ready to explore the world together and guide Ray into a bright future, reach out today to learn more about adoption.
