Isabella Would Love to Be Part of a Family and Own a Pet [TUESDAY’S CHILD]

Isabella is a sweet, caring and bubbly 17-year-old who loves animals. She is a great conversationalist and enjoys speaking to and learning about new people. Isabella is always open to trying new activities and is particularly talented at arts & crafts. She also likes to play soccer and is currently taking a cooking class once a week after school. Isabella’s greatest wish is to have a family of her own where she can have a pet.

Isabella likes going to school and she reports that she has many friends this year that she enjoys spending time with. Her favorite class is chorus and her least favorite class is gym. She is doing well in school with extra support to make sure that she completes her homework.

Legally freed for adoption, Isabella really wants to be a part of a family and loves participating in family gatherings, birthday parties, etc. Isabella will do best in a patient family that can give her a lot of individualized attention. Her social worker is open to exploring families that consist of a single-mother, two mothers or a mother and a father. She will do best as an only child or with an older sister in the home.
