Juniper from Pennsylvania

Juniper is beautiful, with a vibrant personality and a kind smile. Juniper describes herself as inquisitive, adventurous, and friendly. She is also very outgoing, talkative and makes friends easily. She says the one thing she wants a family to know about her is that she is smart and enjoys school. Juniper earns straight A's most of the time and says her favorite classes are math and English Language Arts. In her downtime, Juniper enjoys listening to music and likes a wide variety of music genres. She also says she likes drawing, writing, putting puzzles together, and watching NFL football, specifically the Steelers, on TV as well as ?Vampire Diaries.? She shared that she loves being outside during the summer, especially swimming, but she is not a fan of the beach or camping. Juniper loves trying new things and taking on challenges; however, her sense of adventure stops when it comes to trying new foods. She says she can be quite picky and really does not like turkey or burgers and the only chocolate she really likes is a Snickers candy bar. Her other preferred snacks, are gummies, Takis, and hot Cheetos. Juniper is open-minded and looking forward to experiencing new things in life. She would do best in a family who can shower her with love and attention. Juniper is open to exploring most family dynamics but says she would feel most comfortable with a female presence in the home. She would not mind having a sibling or two, either older or younger, as both are okay by her. As far as pets, Juniper loves animals and would love to have a puppy but she is highly allergic to cats and not able to reside in a home with them. Juniper is eager to find a family to love and to call her own. She does have some birth family connections that are important to her and it would be a great gift to have those connections maintained. Juniper has a big heart and a lot of love to give to her forever family, who she hopes will help make all of her dreams come true. Parental rights have not been terminated for Juniper; however when a permanent resource is identified the county will enact final steps to terminate parental rights.
