Nationwide — Meet 11-year-old Have’Ana and 9-year-old Layla, two African American sisters from North Texas, who are searching for a forever family to adopt them together. These sisters share a close bond and hope to stay together in a loving home.
“I don’t like getting in trouble. It’s the worst thing possible to get in trouble because then you lose something you enjoy very much, and I won’t have it for a week or two, so I just be responsible and help Layla out,” Have’Ana told WFAA.
Layla, full of energy and affection for her big sister, looks up to Have’Ana like a second mom.
“She’s like a mom. She helps me, and she helps me when I need stuff that I forget,” Layla said.
Have’Ana is not only a caring sister but also smart and polite. She is also a bright student who is very creative, loves to sing, and enjoys helping others.
“She can’t make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so I make it for her. Also, she’s not very good at Math so I help her with that too,” Have’Ana said. “I’m in advanced Math. I love Math. It’s very easy for me.”
Layla, on the other hand, enjoys music and gymnastics. She’s proud of her skills in splits, backflips, and cartwheels and hopes to find a family who shares her excitement.
“I want a family to play with me and I want a phone,” Layla shared with a hopeful smile.
Both Have’Ana and Layla are hoping for a forever family who will love them for who they are and a home where they can stay together and continue to support each other.
