Elijah from Virginia

Elijah, who goes by Eliza, is bubbly, funny and outgoing. She is super animated and loves to talk! She has a huge heart and is very kind and caring. She loves the color yellow and enjoys sketching, shopping, doing artwork, journaling, and anything that has to do with beauty. She used to want to be an actress but now she’s playing around with other ideas for her future. Eliza is devoted to gymnastics and works hard to go after what she wants. She is especially proud of her academic achievements. Eliza describes family as “safe, loving, caring…a deep connection with multiple people and love.” She feels safest when she has people that will watch over her and help her whenever something goes wrong. When describing her favorite times of year or things she enjoys doing most, she often refers to “family” as the reason. Will you be the family that will show Eliza the loving, deep connection she wants?
