Jessica is a 16-year-old teen girl with a fair complexion, freckles, and blue-gray eyes framed by pink glasses. Her long wavy hair is currently her natural dark brown, but she plans to dye it black soon. Jessica describes herself as funny, which is a great descriptor for her because she is great at breaking the ice and making other people laugh! She is currently having a great time learning how to roller skate. She loves dancing, especially TikTok dances. She describes her style as “very girly,” and she loves to wear nails and makeup. She is an adventurous teen with a balanced appreciation for outdoor and indoor activities. She likes to shop, go out to eat, swim, and occasionally hike. She wants to skydive someday, as she loves the thrill of adventure. She also likes haunted houses.
Despite being the one who usually breaks the ice, Jessica is generally more on the quiet side day-to-day, and she is described as a chill and sweet girl. Jessica loves all animals, especially dogs and cats, but she has also had opportunities with horses, and she is fine with other exotic pets as well. Her favorite colors are pink and black. She is not picky with food, stating, “I will literally eat anything.” There is one food she would rather not see on the plate- spinach! Her favorite food is chicken, especially spicy chicken or the chicken tender platter from Cheddar’s. Her favorite soda is Coca-Cola, and she reps this by wearing the company’s merchandise from time to time.
Jessica is currently in 7th grade and gets good grades, and while her favorite class is Civics, she does not love math. When she gets older, Jessica would like to work at a pet store, animal groomer, or a daycare. She plans to work hard enough to buy her dream car someday, a pink Tesla to match her girly style! She likes to watch movies, especially love stories, but her favorite TV show is Shameless. Her favorite holidays are Christmas and Halloween. Jessica also likes outings, youth group, and yoga. In her down time, she likes to do crafts, draw, paint, listen to music, watch TV or movies, and chat with others.
Jessica is an active participant in her life and her growth process. She engages in any resource offered to her and actively works toward her goals. Jessica is a gentle teen girl who is doing very well in her current placement, but she longs to be adopted by a loving family. Jessica would do well in a supportive family who can nurture her personality and interests, as well as help her advocate for her needs with age-appropriate life skills, self-esteem, and build on her people skills.
Jessica is open to all family compositions. She is okay with being the only child or with having up to 4 other siblings of any age. She is not religious, but she is okay with attending church or another service with an adoptive family. Jessica would prefer to live in a city rather than out in the countryside. Jessica very much wants to be adopted, and she is willing to move anywhere in Florida, or even out of state for the right family.
