Wednesday's Child: 14-year-old Skylher
BOSTON (MARE) - Skylher is a very sweet, friendly, and active girl of African American descent. She loves to play with her biological brother and foster siblings and enjoys coloring, listening to music, and outdoor activities. Skylher is a bright child and enjoys the company of her classmates.
Legally freed for adoption, Skylher's social worker is looking for a caring family who will provide direction and support. Her social worker is open to a two-parent family with a mom and dad or two moms, with or without other children. It is very important that Skyler is able to maintain bi-weekly visits with her biological family which includes her biological mother and younger brother who is also in foster care.
