Aaliyah and Dion are two delightful siblings who radiate happiness and energy. Together, they will bring laughter, love, and plenty of memorable moments to those lucky enough to adopt them.
Aaliyah is a bright, confident, and affectionate little girl with a dazzling smile that lights up every room. She has a warm and caring personality, showing kindness and nurturing behaviour toward her younger brother, Dion, and other children. Her foster carer describes her as an absolute joy who loves hugs and sharing the stories of her day.
Aaliyah is a social butterfly with a circle of friends at school and a natural ability to connect with others. She thrives in her lively foster home, enjoying the buzz of family life and getting involved in whatever is happening, whether it’s a chat with the adults or a new family activity.
She’s an adventurous spirit who loves climbing to the top of playground equipment and speeding along on her favourite zip line, yet she’s equally happy enjoying quiet time. Aaliyah has a fantastic imagination and loves arts, crafts, and creating little worlds with her toys. Playing schools with her dolls, drawing unicorns and rainbows, or diving into anything sparkly makes her day!
Aaliyah is bright, curious, and independent, with a knack for letting you know what she needs. She’s a little chatterbox who enjoys talking about her day and loves being outside, riding her scooter or balance bike, and running around with endless energy. She would benefit from a family who can encourage her independence while also letting her enjoy being a little girl.
Dion is an active, happy, and giggly little boy whose infectious laugh brings smiles to everyone around him. His foster carers describe him as a loving and joyful child who gives the best cuddles. With a twinkle in his eye and a determination to explore his world, Dion is always on the go!
He’s a natural climber with boundless energy who loves being outdoors, whether he’s running, playing with his toy cars, splashing in water, or exploring new spaces. Music is another favourite of Dion’s—he enjoys singing along to songs like Baby Shark, humming Twinkle, Twinkle, or dancing to his favourite tunes.
Dion’s playful side shines in his love for peek-a-boo, hide-and-seek, and tickles. He also has a tender side, snuggling up with his soft baby doll “Dion Dion” and offering cuddles to his foster carers when he’s tired or seeking comfort.
A strong and determined boy, Dion has consistently measured on the 99th centile and met his gross motor milestones early, from rolling over and pushing up to confidently walking and running. He’s still developing his speech but loves to chatter and makes his needs known by pointing or vocalising. His foster carers adore his big personality and say he brings so much joy to their home.
Aaliyah and Dion share a close sibling bond filled with laughter, play, and affection. They love spending time together, whether they’re playing games, exploring outside, or enjoying a quiet moment with their favourite toys. Both thrive on the love and support of their foster families (they currently live apart), and they will bring incredible joy to their forever family.
We’re looking for either a couple or a single adopter of black ethnicity with a strong support network to adopt these amazing children. As they’re also happy in busy households, we would consider adopters who already have children as long as the youngest child is at least 4. The children are wonderfully active and as they are coming to live together for the first time they will need lots of time and attention to help them with this big change. If you’d like to find out more, please send an email to adoption@leicester.gov.uk
