Could you give new home to two ‘lovely’ little girls?
A Hampshire adoption service is looking to home two ‘lovely’ little girls who had difficult starts in life.
Ashley, six, and Layla, five – whose names have been anonymised for their protection – cannot live with their birth families and have been waitingforsometimetobeadopted.
Ashley is described as an ‘affectionate’ child who enjoys time at the park, arts and crafts and playing with friends at school while Layla is ‘a very active five-year-old girl who always likes to be busy.’
Their backgrounds have left the girls struggling to trust and understand relationships with adults, according to Adopt South. The pair, who are not related, therefore need parents with empathy and a caring approach to meet their needs.
Both Ashley and Layla have additional needs.
