Name: Marleigh Age: 9 My Favorite Things: I really like cheering, dance, arts and crafts, and coloring. When it’s warm out, I like to do outdoor activities, and swimming. I don’t like outdoor activities when it is cold out. I like to play with dolls. I like making new friends. I really like to read. My favorite color is blue. I am a Swiftie. I like self-care, like going to a spa. Things I do not like: I don’t like to be told what to do. I don’t like needles or shots. Favorite Foods: I like macaroni and cheese (the box kind), grilled cheese, sausage, ice cream, and fondant. I like healthy salads, pickles and cookie dough. I would like to try fried dough. What I want in a family: I would like to have a mom and a dad. I would like to live in a town. I want to live near the woods. I want to have a kitten, a puppy, and a rabbit. I want a family that is healthy and who doesn’t use drugs or alcohol or are smokers. What I want families to know about me: Sometimes I need to talk about people or things that make me sad. I like to be outdoors; I like to play dress up and being silly. What we want families to know about the youth: Marleigh does well with consistency and routines. She will benefit from a twoparent family with no children close to her own age. Her team is willing to consider families with older teens/young adults. Parents who are able to share parenting and support each other are recommended. Marleigh thrives on attention and affection. Parents that have a solid understanding of childhood trauma and trauma informed parenting are recommended for this child. A family that is active and spends time outdoors would be an excellent fit for Marleigh.
