Heidi (Maxie) from Idaho

If you consider martial arts, animals, travelling, family time, a great pepperoni pizza and all things outdoors among your favorite things, Heidi may be just the fit you’ve been searching for! Heidi, who goes by Maxie, is a well-rounded teen who has many other interests as well including soccer; Minecraft; shopping; reading; listening to music; Sci-fi movies; crafts like drawing and woodburning; and watching the Lakers or Rams play. Maxie describes her “best day ever” as one where she would get to go with her family to pick out a puppy of her own; go shopping for all the fun things it will need; and then go home and cook together, followed by playing with the puppy and a family game night. This fun-loving teen longs to visit interesting places, with Mt Rushmore first on her list, and dreams of what it would be like to go to a football or basketball game at a big stadium with her Forever Family. Maxie’s funny, inquisitive and articulate personality is sure to make having her along a great addition to all of your family’s travels! Maxie prides herself on doing well in school. She has recently been doing schooling online, but misses the social aspect and hopes to resume her education in-person as soon as possible. With an understanding of how important her education is to achieve her goals for her future, Maxie hopes to study Economics in college and already has a plan in mind for her biggest adventure yet, to one day run her own farm! Maxie and her Permanency Team are open to most any type of family make-up, though she is likely to do best as the oldest child in the home. They are open to hearing from Idaho families, however in keeping in line with her adventurous spirit, she wouldn’t be opposed to moving out of state in order to find the perfect fit. Maxie is counting down the days until her life in foster care is in the rear-view mirror, and she can look forward to all of the love, stability, and adventures that she has been longing for! If you share some interests with this wonderful teen and have room in your heart and home to grow your family through adoption, please inquire about Maxie today!
