Jaslyn is an Incredibly Positive Teenager Looking for a Family

Jaslyn is a friendly 16-year-old who loves everything and everyone.  Her adoption social worker, Annmarie Campo, says she is amazed by Jaslyn's endless positivity and how motivated she is to find her forever family. "She just has an optimistic, happy, positive outlook on life," said Campo.

"I like playing soccer and basketball, but I enjoy watching gymnastics on TV," said Jaslyn.

Jaslyn enjoys going to school and says that her favorite subject is science, especially when it involves a chemistry lab.

The teen is not picky about the makeup of the family, but Jaslyn would absolutely love a brother or a sister.
