Teenager ‘Woke Up Ready’ for a Permanent Family [TUESDAY’S CHILD]

Is Sariyah ready for a family? You bet she is!

She says she "woke up ready" for a permanent family. She is a 14-year-old girl who loves to read and write in her journal. Riyah says she particularly enjoys books written by John Green and books about her culture. Her favorite book is The Hate U Give.

An ideal home for Sariyah would have at least one animal in it. The more animals the better as far as Sariyah is concerned. She'd even love living at a home with a barn.

Riyah loved participating in gymnastics when she was younger, and would love the chance to try gymnastics again.

Sariyah says she'd prefer a home with all females and is open to a family with one mom or two.
