Luna, Orla and Charlie are a sibling group of three who have a lovely relationship.  They are looking for an active family who can keep up with their fun-loving and active personalities.

Luna (5) is the oldest and enjoys arts and crafts, especially drawing and colouring. She has a special love for horses and speaks about wanting two horses one day!

Luna is described as a strong-willed character and enjoys doing things her own way; she can become frustrated if things don’t go her way. She is quite a timid little girl who needs lots of cuddles, warmth and affection. She loves having fun, playing with her siblings and her toys. 

Luna is a very loving and caring little girl; she is building her confidence and loves talking and going out.

When Luna first came into care, she lacked independence skills; she could not change her own clothes, brush her teeth independently and was very reliant on the carers. She is now becoming more independent and is developing her skills. Luna now seems much happier and is talking a lot more which is very positive. When Luna first arrived, she did not want to go to bed and she was very scared and wanted to be close to her carers all the time. However, this has now settled and she will happily go to bed on her own.

Orla (4) always has a smile on her face and is a very happy little girl. 

She is very fun and talkative and is a joy to be around. She loves taking the lead and playing with her toys and siblings. Orla is an inquisitive little girl and is very loving towards everyone in her life. She also enjoys imaginative play. She loves watching TV, especially Peppa Pig, Cinderella and Coco Melon. She loves her Teddy bears and enjoys cuddles and affection. She is a very bubbly child and seeks attention and love.

Orla has experienced periods of neglect and poor parenting throughout her early life and separation from her birth family. She has good relationships with her foster carers and has responded well to their care and support. Orla used to have moments of demanding, sulking and little things triggering her emotions, although these have lessened now. Her foster carers described how Orla was like a ‘mother’ to her little brother when they first arrived. She would often try and feed her little brother and would also try to eat and take as much food as she could. Again, this is improving, and Orla is eating very well and trying lots of new foods.

Charlie (2) is the youngest and a playful and independent little boy. He is continuing to develop his independence and personality; he is a funny and confident character. He loves sharing, playing with his toys and always wants to join in with his big sisters.

Charlie enjoys watching tv, his favourites are Coco melon and Peppa Pig. 

Charlie loves playing with his sisters and joining in with their games. He enjoys playing with toy cars also. Charlie is described as a very happy child, always smiling. He is very lively and loves to be on the go.  He seeks attention and love.

When Charlie first came into foster care, he was behind in his development, and it was felt that he spent a lot of time in his highchair and was quite vacant with his responses. However, since coming into foster care, he has made significant progress. He is a quick learner and is embracing new opportunities in his foster family.

Charlie is becoming more independent; he loves being around people he trusts and playing alongside his big sisters. He is now finding his voice and can answer back and answer questions. Charlie is also known to follow his big sisters around and copy them. He enjoys being on the go, he is observed to be very happy and smiley whilst taking in the world around him.

The three children’s basic care needs were not met when they lived with birth family and they were not given lots of developmental opportunities, as a result, the three children were behind in some areas. The children have experienced periods of neglect and poor parenting throughout their early life however, the children have built good relationships with their foster carers and have responded well to their care and support.

Since being in foster care, and continuing to live together, this has been a positive experience for all three children, and they have built positive relationships with one another. The children are observed to play and interact well with each other.

Luna, Orla and Charlie need a forever family to keep them safe and provide them with lots of love and warmth. They are very active children so require a family who can keep up with them! 

The siblings have a lovely relationship with each other, so it is important that the children remain together. The children require a forever family that is kind, patient and understanding. They will need to be the children’s biggest champions to ensure they can live their lives to the fullest. Their forever family will need to support them and allow them to develop at their own pace. The children need warmth and affection, and for their family to be with them through the good times, and the tough times. The children’s adoptive family must recognise that the children’s needs will change and develop over time.
