These five siblings have shown amazing resilience in their short lives. Joseph, Jesse, Faith, Alexis and Jayden each have their own distinct personalities with diverse, lovable qualities. The hope is for them to have a family where they can all be together again.

Joe, 12, is rambunctious and competitive. He loves to play soccer and build things, particularly with Lego’s. Joe would thrive with a patient family that supports his involvement with sports and advocates for him in school.

Faith, 7, is playful, charming and creative. She finds joy in arts and crafts and being around animals. A bit guarded, it might take Faith awhile to warm up and trust future caregivers. Gentle and persistent caregivers would be a wonderful match for Faith.

Jesse, 6, is bright-eyed and happy. He is energetic, curious and loving and has responded very well to rural living. Jesse adores animals and currently enjoys feeding the dogs and helping with barn chores. Jesse does best when he has an outlet for his unlimited energy.

Alexis, 5, is active, affectionate and outgoing. Like Jesse, she also thrives in country living and loves spending time outside. Playing with dolls, trucks, riding bikes and cuddling are some of her favorite activities.

Jayden, 1, is alert with bright blue eyes. Filled with lots of love, he enjoys cuddling and giving hugs and kisses to those he knows. Easy going, as long as he has a snack in hand, he loves exploring the world around him.

This sibling group has experienced a tremendous amount of loss. They need a family who can be present to support them through this new chapter in their lives, providing individual attention and active supervision as they adjust to living together again. While five children is a big challenge, prospective parents will be surrounded with the love each child has to offer.
