Willow, 7 years old, VA

Willow, a second grader with an active imagination, has named every stuffed animal she owns, complete with detailed backstories she joyfully recites upon request. She delights in putting on backyard plays for her foster family, mixing up her own recipes in a play kitchen, and asking to be read her favorite story so many times that her foster parents have it memorized too. After experiencing a difficult earlier move, she has been in her current placement for close to a year, often feeling anxious about change and needing extra reassurance when routines shift unexpectedly. Willow loves art class more than any other subject and has a habit of giving away her drawings as gifts to anyone who compliments them. Having faced real disruption in her young life, she deserves a stable and patient home where her big imagination and generous heart can continue to flourish.
