Family Description

Hello, My name is Tiera. I am a single mom and foster mom. I have two bio children and one foster child. We love spending time together after a long crazy day. We have family movie/ game night every Friday. We know how to be an active family, going on day trips and to the park. We also know how to be couch potatoes, making living room forts and having pizza. We are ready to welcome a new addition to our family.

Preference Description

We are looking to adopt a girl between the ages of 1 and 9 years old, of any ethnic background. We are willing to accept minor medical conditions or a child with special needs such as PTSD, attachment, learning, or developmental delays.

The Cayen- Family Profile

My family would love to take in a little girl or a sibling group with girls. Ages newborn to 10 years old. We are a mixed family, so any race is welcome.

Introduction

Our community is full of little kids. We life across the street from a big park and field where they play soccer and football games on the weekend. There are many schools in the area.
