Genna and Marcy

Description

*Meet Genna and Marcy!

Genna turns 15 right after Christmas and Marcy just turned 13.  They are sisters who were adopted earlier this year internationally by a single woman in her 60’s.  The girls are just too much for a single older parent (who has never had children before) to handle.  The girls need younger, energetic parents to raise them. Genna and Marcy would do well as older sisters in a home with a couple of younger children.  We are looking for a homestudy ready family who doesn’t have any children between ages 11-16 and a current homestudy to adopt these sisters.  If your homestudy needs updating, let us know—we may still be able to work with you!  If this fits you, please write to us at secondchanceinfo@wiaa.org and ask for the girls full info.

Genna is quieter and more reserved than Marcy.  She tends to be more of a home-body.  Marcy is more outgoing and adventurous.  They are very attached to each other but do need to develop their own interests and likes.  Both girls are adjusting well to school and learning English.  Both Marcy and Genna enjoy music; Marcy enjoys cultural music and Genna loves Disney musicals.  They both like to cook and love pizza!  The girls lived in separate foster homes for a few years before their adoption and so had different homelife experiences. Marcy was raised in the city while Genna was raised way out in the country.  The girls would do best in a home where they had a bit of room to roam—even if it’s just in a ‘safe’ smaller city or town, not necessarily a farm or out in the country.

This is a private adoption, so a state or foster home study might not work. A state authorized private domestic or international home study is generally required. You will need to have a current, or easily-updated home study for this adoption.

Due to state laws, we are not able to place this child in CT, MA, NY, or DE. If you live in OR, you may need to travel to the child’s state to finalize this adoption. If you live in WI, please let us know, as the adoption process may be longer and a bit more expensive than what is listed in our paperwork.  If you have never had a home study before, we cannot help you adopt this child. But we would love to share with you the process of starting a home study so you could be approved for a child in the near future. Please write to us and ask us how to get started! If you are a U.S. citizen living overseas, we may be able to work with you depending on a few details.

Adoption is a legal process so there will be costs associated. This adoption may qualify for the IRS Adoption Tax Credit.

*To protect the privacy of our waiting children and their families, Second Chance does not share real names for our waiting children on the Internet. It is our policy to only share a snippet of a waiting child’s details as well as the type of adoptive family we are looking for. If you fit the POSTED REQUIREMENTS, are home study ready (or can be soon!), and interested in adding this child to your family, please write to us for an honest, in-depth profile on the child including medical, educational, and behavioral information and learn the full story of why this child needs a secondary adoption. Our program social worker and program director have worked together with the child’s family to carefully set the requirements for the new family. These requirements are not negotiable, so please honor the needs of this child by not asking us to bend them for you.
