Amelia from Virginia

Amelia, born 2007, is a strong teenager who is fun, loving, and always tries to find a positive side to things. It is very rare for Amelia to not have a smile on her face. Amelia is talented in signing, writing, and drawing. She is very intelligent and is always willing to learn new things. Amelia is always willing to help and be a part of the community. She would like to be a veterinarian when she grows up because she loves animals. She wishes to have a family who will help her grow and most importantly, not give up on her. She longs for a family who will always be there for her and show her love, passion, and encouragement. Amelia most hopes for a family “who will treat me like I’m their own child.” Could you be the family to never give up on Amelia and show her what love and trust can really mean? In our effort to limit the digital footprint of our children and youth, Virginia has elected to only provide photos to inquiring families. (A digital footprint could be described as a trail left behind when someone uses the internet (e.g. websites visited, social media accounts, photos, etc.). The state wants to be cautious as to who can see and potentially have access to youth’s info.
