It’s no secret that siblings can be competitive, and 10-year-old Ty'Shawn and his eight-year-old sister Chry'Shawna are no exception.

They both love to dance and even compete through dance battles. Once the music started at Ballet Austin, the two got right to it.

Both Ty’Shawn and Chry’Shawna have playful personalities and contagious smiles. Ty’Shawn said he wants to be in the Air Force when he grows up, and his sister said she wants to dance.

However, their more immediate dreams are focused squarely on finding a forever family. While they're still a little young to completely understand what adoption means, they are aware of some of the positives.

“It's really awesome,” Chry’Shawna said. “We won't have to move everywhere and pack our stuff up."

Ideally, Ty' Shawn and Chry'Shawna will find a family that loves to boogie and will give them the support they need.

"They treat us good and are the best family I could ever have in our whole life," Chry’Shawna said.
