There are many children, mostly of color, who wait longingly for the home they so desperately need. Two such children are brothers by the names of Marquise and Toman, ages eleven and twelve years.

In the Spotlight

Toman, the older of the two, is a handsome young man with a dark complexion, short brown hair, brown eyes and a warm, engaging smile. He is considered short for his age and is sensitive about his height. He is initially shy when first meeting someone. However, once he begins to trust, he warms right up and blossoms under the attention of an adult. Marquise, the younger of the two, is tall, handsome young man of medium complexion, with brown hair, brown eyes and an engaging smile. He enjoys being helpful and develops attachments easily. He is in special education classes and though he enjoys reading, finds it difficult. These brothers are longingly seeking African American father and mother, with a puppy to round out their family.
