Steve from Pennsylvania

Michael is a sweet, kind, and energetic boy who enjoys musical toys, clapping his hands, and watching colorful cartoons. He is affectionate and loves to squeeze his stuffed animals, which he calls "lovies". He loves to wave "hello" and "goodbye" and always greets everyone with a big smile! He plays with other children in school but also likes to play by himself. Michael can often be found building with blocks. Younger brother Steve is spunky, curious, and easy-going. He loves blocks and building with them, often spending hours making an intricate tower as tall as him! He loves all foods that have a soft texture. He claps his hands and smiles when introduced to someone and is affectionate with adults he trusts, sitting together and cuddling. Steve also loves to be on the go! He can often be found helping around the house and ready to lend a hand with chores and tasks. The children have in-person visits with their mother, which occur in the southeast region of PA. A family will need to be supportive of their relationship. Parental rights have not been terminated for Michael and Steve; however, once a permanent resource is identified, the county will enact final steps to terminate parental rights. For more information, a family can call the SWAN Helpline at 1-800-585-SWAN or have the family worker contact the recruiter, Janaeyah Reid, via telephone or email jreid@gemmaservices.org.
