Photolisting Profile for Shantell

Shantell is a 9-year-old girl from Florida who is hoping to be adopted.

This African American young lady was born July of 2000. Shantell is described as a physically active child who enjoys riding her bike, playing on the slides and going to the park. Shantell would benefit from a family that can provide her with a loving and caring environment. She also has a very inquisitive personality, and loves to laugh and giggle. Shantell likes to excel in school, and responds very well to praise by her caregivers. Shantell is a part of a sibling group of nine, but is closest with her sister Xena. Xena was born June of 1997. Both Shantell and Xena are in the same foster home, and need to be adopted together. They also have an older sister, Chante, who is still in foster care, and is closely connected to them. Any family considering these girls will have to be open maintaining this sibling connection. This family will also need to provide structure, care and firm rule setting to guide the girls to their fullest potential. Unfortunately, Xena and Shantell experienced an adoption disruption within the last year, and any prospective families would have to be understanding and patient with their feelings.
