Picturing A Home For Every Child
Waiting Children:Oneida

Just take one look at Oneida's photo and you can see what a dynamic and lovely young woman she is. She impresses everyone with her outgoing, assertive nature. You'll never have to guess what's on this young woman's mind! Oneida enjoys spending time with her friends, shopping at the mall and just hanging out. She is interested in cooking and aspires to be a pastry chef one day. She is also a talented dancer who likes hip hop music.

Oneida hopes to find an adoptive family that understands and supports her connection with her biological family—at an appropriate level. Oneida stated that as long as she can continue to send letters and photos to the family, she will be happy. This is a truly wonderful girl, who deserves a chance at success.
