(Feature: Sunday, April 03 - Saturday, April 09, 2016)
Name: Marie
Age: 7
Story: Marie is a charming, intelligent little girl who will share her outgoing, energetic
personality once she gets to know you. Marie enjoys reading, drawing, and playing with her
dolls. She also enjoys shopping and dressing in her own unique style.
Marie does very well in school, but your encouragement and support will ensure that she
reaches her highest educational potential. The ideal family will need to have knowledge and experience, or a
willingness to learn how to parent a child with high trauma needs. Marie will do well as the youngest child in a
two-parent family that will allow her time to build trust and learn to be herself.

(Feature: Sunday, April 10 - Saturday, April 16, 2016)
Name: Alyssa
Age: 13
Story: Alyssa is a smart, outgoing girl who has a wonderful imagination. This young lady
enjoys baking and cooking but is also athletic and enjoys the outdoors. Some of her favorite
foods are Italian dishes and homemade baked good. She enjoys school and is doing well in
her subjects. Alyssa is learning to ask for the things she needs in a positive way. A strong, two-parent family
who can provide structure and supervision will be important for this special young lady. She enjoys being
around other children, but can be competitive for your attention. The family must also be willing to participate
in ongoing services and family therapy with Alyssa to continue to support her needs.

(Feature: Sunday, April 17 - Saturday, April 23, 2016)
Name: Kaitlynn
Age: 9
Story: Kaitlynn is an engaging, intelligent, active young lady. Some of her favorite things
are books, dolls, teddy bears, and riding her bike. Kaitlynn is always eager to learn and she is
able to learn new things quickly. At mealtime she likes fried chicken, pizza, macaroni &
cheese and salad, but is “so” allergic to almonds. Kaitlynn would benefit from a strong, two
parent family willing to help her practice good social skills and positive interactions and help her learn how to
process and direct her feelings. A family familiar with trauma needs would be ideal for her. Kaitlynn has other
siblings and she would like to maintain contact with them.
