Sweet Jailianilize loves to sing, dance, cook

Jailianize, who likes to be called Lalie, is a sweet and loving girl of Hispanic descent. She speaks up for herself but does it respectfully. She tries very hard at everything she does and success with most things. Her favorite activities are making art projects, playing with peers, being outside, and just keeping busy. Music, singing. dancing, and cooking are also on the top of her “fun things to do” list.

Lalie loves animals and would love a pet in her new home. Through therapy, she is making speedy progress with learning to trust again. Lalie loves school. In the 8th grade as of the school year 20222023, Lalie has done well, especially this past year, and her grades reflect this improvement.

For a long time, Lalie had to be the parent to her younger sister. It can be difficult at times for her to leave her parental role when she is around much younger children and her younger sister. However, Lalie has learned to be a kid rather than a parent and will thrive in a family setting.

Freed for adoption, Lalie would do best in a home with at least one female caregiver and other children in the home. Most importantly, Lalie should be in an active family that will keep her busy, give her structure and much love. There is an open adoption agreement in place with Lalie’s birth parents for two visits per year. Lalie has a close bond to her younger sister and will need frequent contact with her. Her sister lives in western Massachusetts. To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at (617) 964-6273 or visit www.mareinc.org.
