My name is Nakai! My friends and workers describe me as kind, confident, and a people person. I can have a conversation with anyone and have them leaving with a smile.
I love to draw and create things. Anything art-related is good for me! Illustrating, building centerpieces for the holiday table, and making sprinkle ghosts (my signature craft) are fun ways to use my imagination.
Kenny is energetic, caring, helpful and beautifully unique. He is intelligent and fascinated by music, videos, and sensory appeasing activities.

The Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network (SWAN) is both a broad-based cooperative effort and a centralized information and facilitation service funded and overseen by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
SWAN includes county children and youth agencies, juvenile court judges, foster and adoptive parents, private adoption agencies, the Pennsylvania Adoption Exchange and many others, all working together on behalf of children who need permanent homes. The SWAN program serves children in the custody of county children and youth agencies. The design of the network is to support the work of county agencies in expediting permanency services.
