Wednesday맥스카지노s Child: Teen continues to hope for supportive, kind forever family
When we first met Makia, 15, she was halfway through her freshman year of high school.

Navigating school is hard enough. For children in foster care, like Makia, there맥스카지노s an extra layer of stress, with no sense of permanency or stability at home.
Even so, Makia tries her best to be a typical teenager.
맥스카지노I hang out with my friends, I do my nails, a little bit of make-up.맥스카지노
Despite our first interview in January, Makia is still waiting to connect with an adoptive family. She said this journey can be frustrating but she hasn맥스카지노t lost hope on finding the right home.
맥스카지노Just supportive, loving, kind, caring,맥스카지노 she said.
Many teens in the system have been through therapy to help work through years of trauma. It can be helpful when foster care becomes overwhelming.
맥스카지노One of my old therapists said if no one can pull me out of it, my best bet is to pull myself out of it,맥스카지노 Makia said.
