Joel and Micah are brothers who live together in a foster home in Colombia. They are well bonded with each other and Micah states that when they are grown-up they will still live together. Both boys are doing well in school after not having regular attendance before coming into care. Joel prefers Art, while Micah\u2019s favorite subject is Math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joel and Micah were exposed to domestic violence and abuse, therefore both boys are receiving therapeutic support to learn alternative ways of expressing themselves. Joel is diagnosed with developmental delay and language delay, while Micah is diagnosed with developmental delay and an anxiety disorder.

These close siblings enjoy riding their bikes and playing outside and are dreaming of finding their forever family together. They have faced adversity in their young lives and will need an adoptive family who can provide them with love, affection, and access to therapeutic supports in order for them to realize their full potential.

Siblings like Joel and Micah, who are considered \u2018Waiting Children\u2019, generally have multi-faceted characteristics and needs which exceed the common characteristics and needs of children otherwise placed in one of our international programs. We are looking for the right family for waiting children because of their unique needs and vulnerabilities.

More information about this sibling group and their specific needs can be received after speaking with a member of our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you receive and accept the referral of Joel and Micah through Spence-Chapin, you will benefit from the generosity of our new BriDen Adoption Fund, which can offset the costs of adopting an international Waiting Child. The BriDen Adoption Fund is made possible by the generosity of a Spence-Chapin family.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
