Adoption Profile

Introducing Jalisa

Jalisa is a fascinating girl. She has a great sense of humor and likes to laugh and have a good time.

Outgoing and vibrant, she can be a leader in many social situations. Jalisa is an intelligent child who is not afraid to voice her opinions. She enjoys having active, involved role models who will listen to her and encourage her. Jalisa has a vast assortment of hobbies that keep her busy, including arts and crafts, knitting, drawing, and playing on the computer. She is also very athletic and enjoys sports. She ran track in the past and was disappointed that her current school does not have a track team. Jalisa likes to stay active and involved.

Jalisa attends mostly regular classes at school, but she does get some extra support. She is an intelligent girl with the ability to do very well academically. Since moving into her current home with a foster mom who listens to her and encourages her to get out and experience new things, Jalisa’s conduct and attitude have improved dramatically. She still needs to remember to slow down when she’s excited and to be respectful, even when she’s upset. With the support and love she now receives, these actions have been greatly minimized.

A Family for Jalisa

Jalisa was responsible for herself for some time, so she needs an adoptive family that is experienced with teenagers and will encourage her to be one. She needs parents who can offer guidance and understand her personality and ways of expressing herself. A stable family in a calm environment will be ideal for Jalisa. (NC #092-1977)
