About Shannon & Tobias
Meet Shannon & Tobias!
Meet these energetic and effusive brothers Tobias and Shannon! Both brothers are very sweet and eager to please which has made them well loved by their peers, teachers and daycare staff. They love animals and are good with both cats and dogs. They love to be read to and their favorite books right now are “The Monster at the End of This Book” and “Interrupting Chicken”. Their favorite outing is going to the trampoline park and their current foster mother states that they have probably set the record for hours spent at the trampoline park before getting tired.
Tobias has smiles so big that you can see his cheeks from behind. He loves anything that is ninja or superhero related. His favorite characters are Spiderman, Hulk, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (but Mickey is his favorite). Tobias has a vast imagination and uses his imagination when playing with action figures with his brother and creating imaginary worlds with blankets and cardboard boxes. Tobias thrives in activities that allow him to be physically active, he is currently in Taekwondo and is very passionate about advancing his skills and earning his next belt! His favorite color is bright green but no veggies for him even if they are green! Tobias is also very passionate and protective of his brother Shannon.
Shannon is quite the cuddle bug and is extremely effusive loving kisses hugs and cuddles. Like his older brother he also enjoys all things ninja related but he also has other interests. His favorite characters are Minnie Mouse, Elsa from Frozen and additional Barbie. His favorite colors are pink and purple and he has a very independent mind and is unbothered by the thoughts of others. Shannon is currently in both ballet and tap dance class and loves attending. Shannon is falling in love with books and loves being read bedtime stories. Like Tobias, Shannon also cares for his brother deeply and during a thanksgiving project he stated his brother is the thing that he is most thankful for. Shannon enjoys lending a helping hand as long as it does not require him getting dirty.
Tobias and Shannon are a very special set of brothers and due to their bond it is in their best interest to stay together. They also have a younger birth brother in another adoptive placement so a family would have to be willing to continue to support their sibling relationship through visitation. As stated both Tobias and Shannon are very energetic so the ideal family for them would be a two parent home that is active and willing to support their needs for physical activity engagement and outlets. To support Tobias and Shannon a family has to have a good understanding of trauma and traumatic separation that many youth in care experience. They must also have or be willing to develop skills for managing higher energy and leading them in play. If you think these wonderful brothers would be a lovely addition to your family or home, reach out we would love to hear from you!
