Weekly Feature: Rebecca
Rebecca, born in 2004, is a caring and strong-willed African American teen who is able to accomplish what she sets her mind to and enjoys receiving any praise that comes with that accomplishment. She also enjoys drawing, reading, playing basketball, shopping, and dressing nicely. At school, she enjoys learning about math. Rebecca would like to become a gymnast when she grows up. Before that, though, she would like to become part of a permanent family -- one who “loves her no matter what, has a dog, and likes to go places”. Rebecca needs a loving adoptive family who will provide her with the attention, support, encouragement, structure and nurturing environment she needs to continue to thrive and reach her goals. Her family will also need to support her desire to maintain her relationships with her siblings who have been planned for separately.
