At age four months, Ann has
already developed a bubbly person
ality. This petite, dark-eyed little girl

Like most of the children who
await adoption, Malachi and Naomi
were victims of abuse and neglect.
Both display behaviors typical with
psychological services to help them
address their pasts and prepare for
their futures. New parents for these
beautiful pair must be comfortable
seeking out and working with com
munity mental health resources. Re
sponsive, understanding parents who
can provide positive time and atten
tion to two very needy and deserving
children, please consider adopting
