By Teresa Carson PORTLAND, Oregon (Reuters) - Authorities in Oregon are searching on Friday for the parents of three small children found abandoned in a shed in Portland.

The youngsters, two girls and a boy aged between a few months and about three years old, were found on Thursday, police said.
Their parents have not been located despite police circulating the children's pictures and asking for help from the public.

All are described as olive-skinned with brown eyes. The youngest, a girl, is estimated to be between eight and 15-months-old. Another girl is estimated to be about two-years-old and a boy about three-years-old.

"The kids are in foster care," Lt. Robert King of the Portland Police Bureau told Reuters. King said he did not know if the children were being cared for together or whether they are siblings.
The youngsters were located after a neighbor called 911 and reported hearing children's voices coming from a shed behind his house, a police statement said.
