Crystiana

Meet Crystiana! A thoughtful, caring teen, who loves to help in the classroom and in the community. Crystiana is very intelligent and gets all A's and B's in school. She spends hours advancing her cosmetology skills which include painting nails, doing hair and makeup! Crystiana loves putting smiles on others' faces when she gives them a makeover. Her future goal is to enroll in BOCES for cosmetology training once she is of age. Crystiana does well in a structured educational placement setting, where additional emotional and educational supports are provided. She adores anything Lilo and Stitch, pink, all group activities such as theater, scouts and dancing. Crystiana thrives on individual one on one attention and would prefer to be the only child or oldest in the home. She would benefit from an adoptive family who is willing to work with her on her interpersonal boundaries, socialization and independent living skills. Crystiana will need to continue engaging in therapy services to work through processing the trauma she has experienced throughout her childhood. She is very close to her extended family specifically, her aunts... and her new adoptive family will need to support this bond. Crystiana deserves a loving, supportive "forever family"...might that be you?
