Quason, 13, and Daequan, 11, share not only the same foster placement but also almost all the same interests and goals, so close are the brothers.

Both are passionate about sports and dream of playing professionally some day in either the NBA or the NFL. They enjoy testing their skill at video games, riding bikes, listening to music - Daequan also aspires to a career in rap - and eating chicken and seafood.

Quason and Daequan agree that their prized possession is the iPod, that making the basketball league is their proudest achievement, and that Christmas is their favorite holiday. Enrolled in regular classes in school, they earn good grades. In their foster placement, they take out the trash, help around the yard, and cook meals.

The brothers long for a permanent home with a patient, loving, committed family, ideally one that is active and would share their love of sports. They are close to their four sisters, who have been adopted, and it is important that all of them continue to be in touch.
