Raelynn is a Super-Sweet 6-Year-Old Girl Who Longs for a Family

Raelynn is a sweet young girl who enjoys playing with her toys, listening to music, going outside on the swings and taking long walks in her stroller.

Raelynn, 6, also loves receiving attention and having physical contact with those around her. Her social worker says she will often take your hand and ask you to pat the back of her head, describing her as "precious” and “very special.” 

"My favorite thing about Raelynn would have to be her love for music," her social worker said. "When you put music on her face lights up, she smiles and her eyes light up. She enjoys it so much. She loves to interact with other people whether or not it's the same way you do."

Her social worker says Raelynn would want nothing more than to have siblings and parents.
