Photolisting Profile for Ebony

Ebony is a 12-year-old girl from Virginia who is hoping to be adopted.

Ebony is a preteen who transitions very cautiously and very slowly. She is on target for her grade level and attends regular education classes. She can achieve above average grades when she is motivated but will need constant motivation to do her best. Ebony has typical teenage behaviors and is sometimes defiant both at home and at school. She likes spending time with her friends and going on outings with her mentor. Ebony understands that the agency is seeking a permanent home for her and she is very excited about the possibilities of having a younger brother or sister as well as parents who will be in her "corner". She wants her new family to know that they must be patient with her but with love and consistency, she will become a part of family.
