Tynesa is a friendly, easy going and optimistic young lady who is very active. She attends special education classes because of learning deficits believed to be a result of her birth environment. She has trouble concentrating and staying on task in school. But she has many friends at school and says science is her favorite subject.

Since being placed in state custody, Tynesa has made a great deal of progress, and has developed more confidence in herself and a positive outlook on life. Tynesa would fit best with a family that is able to assist her in learning appropriate boundaries, aide in her development, and guide her in the right direction. Tynesa wants interested families to know that she is a "girly girl" who also happens to like sports. Race and religion are not important to her in a family, but she would like a family with both a mom and a dad. Tynesa has a younger brother with whom she would like to remain in contact.
