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

Catherine is 11 years old. She is an active child with a bright smile. She also enjoys riding her bike, jumping on trampolines and playing with toys. Catherine can be talkative and friendly, but can also be somewhat withdrawn at times.

Linda is 9. 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 Barbies.

The girls are very bonded with one another 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.
