CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Meet sisters Linda and Catherine. The sisters need to be adopted together. Both of the girls have some special needs. They need a family who is understanding of this and can provide them with a safe, loving and structured home.

Linda is 8 years old. She is a friendly, outgoing child with a happy smile. She loves to ride her bike, play outdoors and play with her toys -- especially her Barbie dolls.

Catherine is 10. She is an active child with a bright smile. She also enjoys riding her bike, jumping on a trampoline and playing with toys. Catherine can be talkative and friendly but at times somewhat withdrawn.

The girls have a strong bond and they get along well. They need a patient family that can devote a lot of time to them.

Many children in West Virginia are legally eligible to be adopted and are waiting for permanent and loving families. For more information on adoption contact Mission West Virginia at 866-225-5698 or email ad...@missionwv.org.
