As-salaamu 'alaikum sisters
I saw this being advertised on The Metro newspaper (4th May).
Please spread the word and if you can help, then that'll be excellent.
Bearing in mind the amount of people who read the Metro and the percentage of
non-Muslims from amongst them, its upto us to see that they are insha'Allah
placed in a Muslim foster home where their Islamic needs are tended to as well as
their upbringing.
Below is the advert from The Metro, Thurs 4th May 2006:

Yasin and Halimah need a forever Family
Yasin and Halimah are brother and sister. They are in a foster placement and
are happy children. They are achieving their developmental milestones and
doing well at achool.
Yasin is a 6 year old boy full of life and energy. He is a bright, happy and
affectionate child. He is very talkative and friendly and is looking forward
to having a 'forever family.' Yasin recently experienced sadness and loss
and this has affected his behaviour but he responds well to nurturing, warmth
and praise. Yasin likes school and is doing very well. He loves playing with
his miniture toys - superman and cars!
Halimah is 4 years old. She is a loving child and enjoys cuddles and hugs.
Halimah can be shy when first meeting new people but she soon becomes her
usual chatty and lively self. Halimah is a happy child with an independent and
caring nature. She likes 'playing house' and cooking with her toy oven and
microwave. She enjoys playing with her toys and shares these with Yasin. She
loves to dress up like a little princess. Halimah enjoys nursery school and has
many friends.
Yasin and Halimah have a sister who has been adopted. They enjoy having
annual contact with her.
