Evelynn has done well with structure and positive reinforcement, even requesting to be placed in a highly structured home. She will meet her future goals in an environment that has clearly set consistent expectations while allowing the opportunity for mistakes and improvement. Evelynn will benefit from a family actively involved in the community, which can provide her with a range of outlets to fill her time and develop positive connections. Evelynn would flourish with a family that is nurturing, communicative, and celebratory of accomplishments or personal goals. Evelynn is very close with and desires to visit her older sister. Her forever family must be open to continued contact with her siblings and other family members Evelynn identifies as positive supports.
