Kaylee loves gardening, the outdoors

A nature lover who enjoys observing plants, insects and animals, Kaylee, born in 1990, enjoys outdoor activities. Kaylee likes going to the movies, shopping, roller-skating, visiting amusement parks and going out to eat.

She loves to garden and raise indoor plants. When not outside riding her bicycle or swimming, Kaylee enjoys expanding her creativity with arts and crafts projects, coloring, drawing, scrapbooking and piecing together challenging puzzles.

Kaylee has made great progress and is living now in a foster home. She thrives on individual attention from adults. She can be quite loving and has an intriguing ability to clearly voice her feelings.

Kaylee’s adoptive family should be able to provide structure, consistency and nurturing. They should provide stimulating opportunities to help her gain experience and self-assurance and improve her social awareness. Kaylee’s parents should be committed to advocating for her educational needs. A two-parent or single-parent family with adequate supports would be considered.

Kaylee maintains contact with two younger brothers. A family who is willing to arrange occasional visits with her biological brothers would be ideal.

An adoption subsidy may be available to the most appropriate family.

Kaylee is one of the 144 children in Maine Department of Health and Human Services care who are seeking an adoptive family. Based in Gardiner, A Family for ME is a nonprofit program that works in collaboration with Maine DHHS to find foster and adoptive families for Maine children in care.

For information about Kaylee or other children available for adoption, contact A Family for ME toll free at 877-505-0545 or visit www.AFamilyForMe.org and see the Heart Gallery of photographs of some of the many children awaiting a “forever family.”
