Picturing A Home For Every Child
Waiting Children:Jonah

Jonah [photo by Rick Scibelli]Jonah is a sweet young lady with many interests, such as sports, camping, photography, dancing, talking with friends, singing, and being outdoors. She is a pleasant, friendly girl who is interested in possibly becoming a veterinarian or a school teacher one day.

Jonah does not have a specific preference for a prospective adoptive family but she would benefit from a structured, consistent and attentive family. It would be desired that the family would also support contact with her sibling.
