Ivy from Pennsylvania

Ivy is an expressive and straight-forward young lady who believes her best trait is her positivity. She can be somewhat of a tomboy at times and most of the time her style is somewhat casual and sporty. Ivy plans to join her school's track team and has used running as a stress-relief outlet. She's also an accomplished musician, who can play several string instruments and plays the violin in her school's orchestra. When asked about her favorite foods, Ivy said that she likes, ?Pretty much anything other than octopus, turtle, and frog legs.? She also really enjoys eating fried Oreos. She likes playing video games like ?Call of Duty,? watching the Disney Channel and Tim Burton movies, and reading the ?Miss Marple? series by Agatha Christie. She mentioned that she shows she cares about others by ?listening and being there for them and helping them out.? She believes that a family should show that they care about each other by ?spending time together and supporting each other.? Ivy is open to a variety of family composites and location, but would prefer to live in an area that is not too rural. Ivy is not legally free for adoption; however once a family is identified, the county will enact final steps to terminate parental rights.
