About the Siblings
Lillyanna: Lillyanna, who prefers to go by Lilly, is a creative and thoughtful young person who tends to be reserved at first. She opens up most easily when she can talk about her interests, especially video games, which currently holds much of her focus. Drawing characters, creating cardboard puppets, and working on crafts are some of the ways she expresses herself. Art comes naturally to Lilly, and when she is engaged, her creativity and attention to detail stand out. She has talked about wanting to be an animator someday, a goal that fits well with her imagination and drawing skills.
Lilly enjoys structure and responds well to clear expectations. She is capable of helping around the house, including cleaning her room, doing dishes, laundry, vacuuming, and even shoveling snow, particularly when tasks are paired with a reward system. She can be shy and guarded and does not trust easily, but once she feels safe, she becomes more outgoing. Lilly has a strong connection to animals and spends a lot of time caring for and talking to pets, especially cats. She loves Halloween and enjoys dressing up and trick-or-treating, and she dreams of visiting Tokyo because she is drawn to its culture and media.
Lilly also faces real challenges. She currently struggles to balance her interests with school responsibilities and needs consistent support to stay engaged with classwork and turn in assignments. A family who can provide structure, monitor technology thoughtfully, and encourage her creativity while building trust over time will be important for her success. Lilly would like a forever family with an experienced parent or parents and hopes to share time playing games and doing crafts together. She will be photolisted with her brother, Caden, and maintaining connections with important people in her life will continue to matter as she moves forward.
Caden: Caden is an energetic and engaging young person with a deep love for classic movies, characters, and hands-on creativity. Godzilla plays a central role in his world, from researching the original films to designing and building detailed costumes. He enjoys learning how things work and often talks about futures that involve making props, engineering, mechanics, or filmmaking. These interests show up in how he spends his weekends—building costumes, riding bikes, working on crafts, or learning more about cars and movie effects.
Caden is social and outgoing, with a playful sense of humor. He likes being goofy with friends, sharing memes, and watching funny videos together. At home, he helps with age-appropriate responsibilities such as putting away his clothes and assisting with dishes. He is generally courteous and well behaved, though he can become upset quickly at times and needs support to calm and reset. Once that happens, he is usually able to move forward without holding onto the moment.
Family and connection matter to Caden. He enjoys holidays, especially Christmas gatherings with family and Halloween, when costumes take center stage. He hopes for a forever family that will share his interests, build costumes with him, watch classic movies, and explore Godzilla and Japanese culture together. Visiting Tokyo one day is a dream of his, tied closely to his love of Godzilla’s origins. Caden would like to live in a home with an experienced parent or parents, pets, and other children, though his most important hope is to be accepted for who he is. Maintaining contact with his relatives is important to him and will remain a meaningful part of his life. Caden will be photolisted with his sister, Lilly, and with the right guidance and support, he has the potential to thrive in a family who values creativity, patience, and connection.
