Makenna is a young girl who is currently living with her great aunt and uncle as she moves toward adoption. Throughout her childhood, Makenna has faced frequent changes in caregivers and schools. She attended three different schools in just one academic year, which has created a sense of instability in her education and social life. Navigating these challenges has been tough for Makenna, especially during such important years in her emotional and academic development. She and her younger brother were taken from their mother in a difficult and heart-wrenching process. Fortunately Makenna lives with her younger brother, and although she has an older brother who she sees regularly, he lives two hours away. She stays connected with her mom through weekly phone calls, trying to maintain a relationship amidst the changes in her life. Makenna is a very funny young girl, but can be very quiet until you get to know her. Makenna enjoys drawing, reading and is very creative.
