Bishop, Denea and Benjamin are active, good-natured African American siblings who would like to grow up together in an adoptive family. They currently live in a foster home, but are in need of the love and stability of a permanent family. One of their wishes for a family is that they love sports as much as they do.
As the oldest, 10-year-old Bishop looks out for his younger siblings. He is an inquisitive, charming boy who presents as quiet and observant of his surroundings. In addition to football, basketball and baseball, he loves camping, outdoor activities and drawing. Bishop is completing the fourth grade.
Denea is a cheerful and outgoing 9-year-old girl who loves to follow the progress of local sports teams. She wants to grow up to play basketball in the WNBA. Denea is finishing the third grade and says writing is one of her favorite subjects. In the summers, she loves attending camp.
Benjamin, 6, is an inquisitive and outgoing first grader with a mischievous smile. He is described by others as constantly busy. He likes watching cartoons on television, playing video games, playing outside and wrestling with his older siblings. He is a sports fan as well and says baseball is his favorite subject in school.
Legally free for adoption, Bishop, Denea and Benjamin will do well in a two-parent family with no other children or older children. They are smart, capable children who will benefit from clear rules and structure to address their academic delays and behavioral needs. With unconditional love and support from a family, the future looks bright for these youngsters.
