Joey and Michael are friendly, good-looking brothers who want to grow up together. A little more than a year apart, these boys share a love of the outdoors and playing sports, especially soccer. Michael is drawn to music while Joey prefers animals and hopes to have a dog someday. Both boys are close to grade level and benefit from some additional academic and behavioral supports at school. They need kind, patient parents with a good sense of humor in a family where they are the only or youngest children.

If you or someone you know could be the family for these boys, please contact us today.

If you have any questions about A Family or QKids, please call us at 1-800-732-1887.
