“The thing that I’m most proud of that I’ve done is probably getting an A on a lot of my math things.”
Carissa is very outgoing and loves meeting new people! She’s excited to make new friends and likes to expand her friend group whenever she can! She’s quite articulate and enjoys sitting down with someone to talk, she asks lots of good questions and genuinely wants to learn all about people. She’s almost always carrying around her squishmallow pillow and doesn’t mind lending it out to people if it feels like giving it a squeeze might make them feel better!
She has a ton of interests and loves finding new hobbies and activities to do! She’s been doing gymnastics and enjoys learning new moves and perfecting everything she learns. She’s big time gamer and will play just about anything, she especially likes games where she gets to build things and to shape the world how she wants. It’s a great way to show off her creativity. She’s also a big fan of card games and will play just about anything!
Carissa would do best in a one or two-parent home with either one or two moms and would love a forever family that came with sisters she can look up to and learn from. She likes looking her best so parents who encourage her to express who she is and who support her choices are ideal. She would love a forever family that likes to get out into the community to do events and have fun. Interested families should understand the impact trauma can have on children.
