to watch tv and playing with toys.

attention from his footer father.
Unlike moot children his age, Omar
loves doing chores and keeping his
room clean. V
In school, Omar's teacher says
that he does well when be receives a
great deal of attention'and praise.

grade and physchological testing
show that Omar may have some
learning difficulties.
His adoptive parents should be
able to give Omar a much needed
sertse of security and love. Also, they
will have to read to him, seeing that
being read to aloud is something Uud
Omar really enjoys.

wish for driving license Dwayne’s

be a patient person who could give
Dwayne plenty of time.

mannered youngster, Dwayne
enjoys baseball and track. He also
likes video games, movies and
hanging out with Ms friench.
