Thirteen-year-old Natalie loves to work with her hands, which is why she enjoys cooking, baking, and creating arts and crafts. She also likes to play sports and spend time with animals. When she grows up, she hopes to own a pet store.
Funny, with an infectious sense of humor, Natalie nevertheless sometimes struggles with social cues. She does, however, like to talk and spend time with caretakers.
Natalie would do best in a home with parents who understand her behavioral health needs and will advocate for her to ensure her needs are met. She likes to be active and participate in her school and community life. The best option for her would be one in which she is either an only child or in a family with no other high-needs children.
Natalie has also experienced some bullying, so she needs people in her life who will love and support her unconditionally. She needs a family where she feels she belongs entirely and forever.
Please pray that she finds the family she needs to call her own.
