Faith, born in 1996, is funny, delightful, creative and quite artistic. Faith enjoys doing things most preteen girls like to do, such as shopping, wearing jewelry, going to the movies and learning how to cook. She loves to read and also enjoys writing poems and stories.

Faith is a bright child who does very well in school and requires little to no assistance with her schoolwork. Faith says she enjoys school and her favorite subject is reading. She enjoys reading mystery books the most. The “Magic Tree House” series are some of her favorites. Faith does morning track at the school she attends. She also enjoys soccer, tennis and in-line skating.

Faith has asthma and is allergic to animals. Because of the severity of her allergies she would need to be in a pet-free home. Faith has two older siblings, whom she sees twice a month. These visits would be important for her to be able to maintain in an adoptive home. Faith would benefit greatly from a family that can provide her with a sense of belonging, stability and consistency. With consistent and effective parenting, it is predicted that Faith would absolutely thrive.

Faith is excited to have a family of her own. She would love to be in a family where there are siblings and the family does “fun stuff.” She says that she would like “a family who chooses her to make sure that they can take care of her.”

Adoption subsidy may be available to the most appropriate family.

Faith is among more than 100 children in the care of the state Department of Health and Human Services seeking an adoptive family. Based in Gardiner, A Family for ME is a nonprofit program that works in collaboration with DHHS to find foster and adoptive families for Maine children in care.
