TWO toddler sisters are looking for adoption within a "permanent, loving, and compassionate" home.
The "loving" sisters, Issy, 3, and Evie, 2, enjoy playing and learning at nursery school.
The two girls cannot live with their birth family, with Adopt South saying: “both Issy and Evie, in their very early years, were not looked after as well as they could have been,”
According to Adopt South, on occasions, Issy can react in a way that is much younger than her current age, which correlates to a delay in her overall development, which may have been due to her early experiences growing up with her birth parents.
Adopt South said she can feel “scared or confused as she cannot always work out what is the best thing to do", which may mean she can become angry or upset at times, however Issy settles down after being comforted with cuddles.
Issy’s foster carer added: “Issy can be an adorable little girl, who has made amazing progress in the last year. She will spend hours talking and playing with her dolls, and pushing her pram around the house.
“Her favourite film is Disney’s Frozen. She needs a lot of comfort from a loving parent, or parents, who will have the time to soothe and help develop her confidence so she can flourish.”
Issy's sister, Evie, is just beginning to “explore everything”, from being outside in the garden, being with people that can give her attention and reading to her.
Evie has also “experienced distress at the start of her life” and like her sister, finds it difficult to know how to feel and express herself.
Head of Adopt South, Rachel Reynolds said: “Issy and Evie are lovely little girls who have been through experiences that most children their age would not have been exposed to, which makes them feel very vulnerable at times.
“The girls need a family life where their adoptive parents will have an understanding or experience working or caring for children with additional needs - or within a community or faith where they are fully supported with family and friendship groups around them.
“Issy and Evie need the time, commitment and love to develop into happy and confident girls. Adopt South is committed to supporting the girls and their adoptive parent/s throughout their childhood journey whenever they need it. We are here to help children like Issy and Evie thrive and be happy as they grow up.”
