Ten-year-old Tanny needs an adoptive family! She says she dreams of having a family, where she is cared for by parents and has siblings to love and spend time with.

Tanny is described as quiet and introverted. Her caregivers say she has a gentle nature and follows instructions well. She enjoys helping her caregivers around the center and taking care of the younger children. The last time she was asked, Tanny said she hoped to become a teacher someday.

Some of Tanny’s favorite activities are reading books and playing with her two best friends. Like many girls her age, she loves getting new clothes and dressing up! She can be shy around strangers but warms up when playing with her friends and people she knows well.

Tanny has some developmental and learning delays. Tanny needs an adoptive family with access to excellent educational and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) resources, and a knowledge of or willingness to learn about older child adoption. Her adoptive parent(s) should be motivated to build her up and encourage her self-expression. They should also be committed to helping Tanny reach her full potential!

Could you or someone you know be the right family for Tanny?
