Aubrianna loves to sing and dance
Sunday’s Child is a weekly column featuring a child currently in foster care awaiting adoption.
Aubrianna is an energetic and social 7-year-old.
She loves the outdoors, music, and the arts. She loves making music playlists, especially for her favorite movies. Aubrianna is outgoing and loves to showcase her singing and dancing. She recently became very interested in ballet. Another alltime favorite for her is getting her hair done.
It is important for her to be around children her age, so she can develop positive and appropriate social skills; engagement in clubs and intramural sports greatly benefit her and assist in her continued growth. Aubrianna has made friends in her current placement and at school.
Aubrianna’s adoption worker is hoping to find a two-parent home in the Jamaica Plain area where Aubrianna can be the only child, as she thrives when she is able to be provided with individualized attention. Clear instructions and routine in the home will ensure that Aubrianna can be successful. Aubrianna is very affectionate and is looking forward to meeting her forever family. An adoptive family should also be open to Aubrianna having contact with her biological family in the future.
