Messiah is an intelligent girl who aspires to work with animals when she grows up. Messiah’s favorite animal is a hedgehog. She also loves dogs, especially pit bulls and hopes to have her own emotional support dog some day. Messiah is very creative and enjoys drawing, sewing, gymnastics and dance. Messiah has experienced a lot in her young life resulting in emotional scars. She is learning to express her fears and anger through therapy and is finding inner strength for coping with her feelings. She has experienced a lot of loss in her life and will likely take some time trusting a new family. Due to these many losses, she needs a family that can maintain her important connections to include a connection with her sister. Messiah verbalizes concerns and hopes about having a home and a place to belong. There is much potential in this child but she needs help harnessing it. Messiah would thrive in a 2 parent household that can provide her a lot of attention and would do best in a home as an only child or in a home with an older sister.
