Adoption Profile

A Closer Look at Kasey...

Kasey may be energetic and bubbly, but she is a very responsible and mature young woman. She is bright, outgoing, and loves to laugh and joke around. Kasey enjoys watching movies, listening to music, taking walks, sleeping late, and having her hair and nails done. She also loves fixing other people's hair. Kasey can be a positive leader when her self-esteem doesn't intrude. She attends regular classes at the campus school where she lives. While she is behind, Kasey wants to make positive changes to her life and understands that she must improve her grades to attain her goal of attending college. Kasey has done very well in this placement where the expectations are crystal clear. She has gained more privileges by following directions and the rules of the program. It is important that she continue her counseling and medication management. Kasey and KendraBirthday: December 14, 1989

A Closer Look at Kendra...

A good sense of humor goes a long way with Kendra. She loves to laugh and does well when she can enjoy herself. Besides being bubbly, energetic, and outgoing, Kendra is also often quiet. She has such a gentle, caring nature that others love to spend time with her. Kendra enjoys the usual teen things like shopping and talking on the phone with her friends. She also likes to list to rock and rap music, watch "girlie" or scary movies, and play basketball. Academics are challenging for Kendra and she often becomes frustrated. She struggles with low self-esteem regarding her schoolwork. A modified instruction program allows her to work at a more appropriate level for her ability and Kendra has worked very hard to raise her grades. It is imperative that Kendra continue her counseling and medication management. Birthday: June 10, 1991

A Family for Kasey and Kendra...

Kasey wants a family that will always be there for her and encourage her to do what is right. It means a lot to her to feel that she is cared for and she is further encouraged to do her best. Kendra hopes her family will listen to her and help her with any problems she might encounter. Both girls want an adoptive family that is kind, caring, and supportive of their future plans. They both do best with clearly defined expectations and consequences. Stability, structure, consistency, patience, and a gentle manner and sense of humor will go a long way towards making these girls feel safe, wanted, and loved. (NC #059-2640) (NC #059-2639)
