Emily from Pennsylvania

Emily is independent, artistic, and intelligent. Her favorite hobby is writing and she hopes to be a writer as her adult career. Her favorite subjects are math and science, and she enjoys reading in her free time. She loves art and especially enjoys painting. When it comes to music, she says that she likes ?everything except for country.? She's okay with most pets but not cats. Her ideal family is a single mom or a two-mom household where she has her own room in an urban setting. Besides English, she's fluent in Spanish and would be okay in a Hispanic home. She believes family is essential and talks to her birth parents regularly. Her siblings are also important to her, and she'd like to continue those relationships as she ages. Parental rights have not been terminated for Emily.
