Nila from Taiwan

UPDATE Nov 2023: What is sweeter than sisters? We met Nila {8} and Nikki {7} together then spent time with each separately when we were in Taiwan earlier this month. They are both sweet girls. Nikki, though younger is the leader of the two when they are together. Nila is more quiet and shy while Nikki is more talkative and active. The girls live in separate foster homes but do spend time together and get along well. Nila is 8 years old and has mild intellectual delays. Her fine and gross motor skills are good. She wrote her name for us but wasn’t really interested in drawing a picture, though her foster mom said she does normally like to draw, she especially likes to draw dogs. She is in 3rd grade but school is a struggle for her. She did simple addition for us and described what was happening when we showed her a picture in a book. She enjoys reading and playing outside. These two darling girls need a family who can help each of them reach their full potential. Could they be your daughters? ORIGINAL POST: We are excited to introduce siblings Nila and Nikki! Nila is 8 years old, and she enjoys playing with toys and playing outdoors. Nila is known to be strong willed, not timid, and gets along well with her peers. Nila resides with a foster family and has a close bond with her 8 year old foster brother. Nila has mild cognitive developmental delays. She is a second grader in elementary school and attends resource classes. Nila attends an afterschool program where she can receive extra assistance with her school work. When asked about her favorite subject in school, Nila stated music class because she loves to sing! Nila and Nikki live in separate foster homes. They have had the opportunity to spend time with each other at events sponsored by their social welfare agency.
