12-Year-Old Kassidy is Caring and Loyal [TUESDAY’S CHILD]

Kassidy is a bright young lady who is looking for a family. She is a child who enjoys being the center of attention. She's the type of kid who will listen to the radio while singing the words of her favorite song into a hairbrush.

Kassidy’s interests include singing, dancing, and doing arts-and-crafts projects. She likes to joke around and enjoys spending time with adults. In school, Kassidy’s teachers report that she is academically on target and having one of the strongest academic years of her school career.

The Ideal Family for Kassidy

Legally freed for adoption, Kassidy would thrive in a household as the younger or only child. Her social worker is exploring families where Kassidy can have a mother figure, which could be a single mother, two mothers, or a mother/father configuration. Once Kassidy’s permanent family has been identified, it would be beneficial for her to have continued contact with members of her birth family.
