About the Siblings
** While the South Dakota Department of Social Services follows Tribal Code placement preference, the Department is accepting inquiries from all families interested in these wonderful boys.
Meet Winston, Lanston, and Maxton! Winston is an eleven-year-old boy with a big smile and very loving personality. He loves meeting new people, asking questions about their lives and learning about them quickly. Winston enjoys learning all new information, especially regarding demographics and locations. He is attending the fifth grade and loves to learn, always excited for each school day. Winston forms connections quickly, both with his teachers and his classmates. He is always observant, ensuring that everyone around him is okay. If he feels that someone could use some extra attention and love, he wants to do that. Winston is such a heartfelt boy. Outside of school, Winston loves to help with hands-on activities, go camping, and play with toys (hot wheels are always a favorite). Winston’s favorite food is pizza but he’s quick to support a trip to McDonalds as well!
Lanston is a nine-year-old boy that has such a curious, charming personality. Like Winston, Lanston is always wanting to learn more about the world and the people in his life. He is protective of his connections, always asking questions and making sure the people around him know that he loves them. Lanston recognizes other emotions, asking questions that show great empathy. If someone is upset, he will verbally recognize it and try to do different things in hopes of making that person feel better. Again, like Winston, Lanston has a caretaker mindset and is so loving. Lanston is attending third grade and shows motivation throughout the school day, even though he’d much rather be playing at recess instead! Outside of school, Lanston loves to play sports, collect games, and go for hikes outside. He also loves anything relating to cars and trucks, especially hot wheels with big tracks! Lanston continues to work on his communication skills each day and is such a special boy.
Maxton is a six-year-old boy full of spunk and energy. Maxton loves to be the center of attention, laughing and having such a big personality. He is always on the move, running and playing with toys. Maxton has a very impressive artistic side to him, being able to draw different things with a lot of skill. His favorite thing to draw is Sonic the Hedgehog, but he’s branching out to various different characters from shows as well. Maxton is attending Kindergarten and thrives with his education. He’s incredibly smart and can get bored at times just due to needing more challenges. He’s inquisitive like his brothers and is always wanting to be involved. In general, he’s strong-willed in the best possible way. Always keeping us on our toes, Maxton enjoys going on trips, playing at the park, and making everyone smile around him.
The boys need a home filled with patience and acceptance. Consistency is key to ensure they thrive and excel. Winston, Lanston, and Maxton deserve all of the love and commitment possible and are very excited to meet their forever family!
