A Child Who Waits: Meet C

Agency fees have been waived for "C" adoption process

C is a child who loves to smile, joke, and see others laugh. She has a heart that is full of love and is described as having a strong spirit in a little body. Although C has physical challenges that limit her movement, she never lets this slow her down or stop her from taking on new experiences.

In the summer of 2014, C participated in the Connect for Kids program. During this program she was able to experience the fun and excitement of a summer camp, while bonding with other participants and mentors. The mentors quickly grew to adore C, and had so many wonderful things to say about her.

C’s positivity and outgoing personality allow her to quickly form relationships with others. She loves to share affection with peers and adults who are important in her life. She is continuously making new friends and is always ready and willing to help others. C is a sweet and compassionate girl, with a passion for animals. Painting, music, and reading are just a few of C's favorite activities.

C expresses her readiness to join a family and have individuals who will love her forever. She is a delightful little girl, who would bring love and happiness to a family.

We cannot share clear photos of C online, but numerous photos are available for those who inquire.

We are proud to offer educational and cultural events, travel, search and background services, and opportunities to connect to the larger adoption community.
