Photolisting Profile for Tavia

Tavia is a 15-year-old girl from North Carolina who is hoping to be adopted.

Tavia is a sweet and caring, yet very private, young lady. She enjoys having art materials to express her creativity by drawing, coloring and finger painting. Tavia likes to be outside riding her bike, swimming, or playing basketball. Her very favorite thing to do is to style hair and she is getting very good at braiding. Tavia is a young fashion maven and often compliments others on their hair or clothing. She likes to look neat and matches her clothes carefully before laying them out for the next day. Tavia attends a specialized school and class where she is learning appropriate methods of expressing her feelings, as well as acceptable socialization skills and following rules. She has made improvements in relationships and behavior since moving into her current home. Tavia needs an adoptive family who is patient, nurturing, and accepting of who she is, while displaying a positive attitude about her ability to continue improving her behaviors and relationships. They should be willing to attend counseling sessions with her and be supportive of contact with her sister, as long as it is a positive experience for both. Tavia will benefit from the structure, stability, consistency, and love that all children require to grow and to flourish in positive ways.
