Profile: Next on the stage is Amber! A gifted artist, this teen loves to draw. So she doesn't
limit herself to one method of artistic expression, Amber also writes her own songs and
enjoys dancing! Making friends is one of her priorities for the social scene. Amber is in the
eighth grade where she benefits from an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). She has been
making great strides at school! She also attends counseling, which will need to continue
after placement. She may need some assistance as an adult, but she can have a wonderful
future. Her caseworker prefers a two-parent or single-mother Colorado home; however,
all family types will be considered. Amber hopes to remain in contact with her brother.
Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services. For Colorado children,
both homestudied and non-homestudied Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only homestudied

Profile: Blossom is the perfect name for this girl, who will "blossom" with happiness when
she finds a family who will support, nurture and love her forever. Watching Hannah
Montana is one of her favorite pastimes, especially if she’s surrounded by her preferred
foods like pizza, Pop Tarts, watermelon and chicken! When given the chance to participate
in outdoor activities, Blossom thrives because she loves to be active. On rainy days, when
she has to be inside, she can often be found drawing. A fourth grader, Blossom enjoys
school and is making progress daily. She benefits from an IEP (Individualized Education
Plan) and counseling, which will need to continue after placement. Blossom remains in
contact with her siblings. Her caseworker prefers a two-parent home in which she is the youngest or where
there is only one younger child; however, all family types will be considered. Financial assistance may be
available for adoption-related services. For Colorado children, both homestudied and non-homestudied
Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only homestudied families from other states should do so.
