Melody, 3 years old, VA
Melody hums to herself constantly, whether she's playing with blocks, riding in the car, or getting ready for bed, and her foster family has started calling her their little jukebox. She's a sweet, sensitive kid who loves anything with music, and she'll often make up her own little songs about whatever she's doing in the moment. Melody has been in her foster placement for only a short time, and while she's settling in well, she can still be startled by loud noises or sudden changes, a lingering effect of the instability she experienced before entering care. She loves being outside, especially swinging as high as she can go, and she's fiercely attached to a small stuffed lamb she sleeps with every night. Melody's foster family describes her as affectionate and easily delighted, though she needs a gentle, predictable routine to feel secure. She's faced real hardship for someone so young, and she deserves a stable, loving home where her sweet spirit can keep shining.
