Cliff is the youngest of four full siblings. He is a very handsome boy with blonde/brown hair and blue eyes. His foster mom keeps him ''stylin'' with medium length hair which she keeps spiked. Between the sparkling eyes and the hair, he's pretty hard not to want to hug. Cliff can be a very loving and kind child.
Cliff is very close with two of the three older brothers, and loves his kindergarten teacher. Cliff can be very caring with all the significant people in his world and should respond very well to a family that will make the commitment to him and his brother. Cliff plays wells by himself and has a good attention span. At times, Cliff has a hard time following directions but with affective redirection he can be put back on task.

Cliff has not had a lot of exposure to pets. Cliff has a liking for the clean and orderly and keeps a surprisingly clean room. He will take off running if the spirit moves him and has a lot of energy to put into being a brother and a child to the right family.
Cliff will need help during any transition to another family, as he has remained in one foster home over the last several years and has formed a very strong attachment with the entire family.
Jonathan is slender with dark, blonde hair, and striking blue eyes. He wears his hair in a crew cut normally but is trying to grow it out at this time. His voice is much larger than he is and a good ear is needed because he loves to talk. He's a very good looking boy and a very engaging, energetic child. He is affectionate with his foster and biological family and at the same time can be blunt in his comments and observations. Jonathan has a great sense of humor and can be very entertaining with his views of his brothers and the world. He has been diagnosed with ADHD and he responds well to medication. He does have caring relationships on which to build. He has been doing well in school, but still has an IEP for speech and language.
According to foster dad, he is much better at talking than listening.
Jonathan is very interested in the world and others and has an appetite for learning about people and activities. He loves basketball, both playing and watching and he loves to ride his bike as well.
He can make friends with just about anybody but he will strike up a conversation and approach mere strangers therefore he needs to work on his boundaries for safety reasons. He seems most comfortable in a relationship where expectations are realistic and there is good structure.
