Wednesday's Child: 13-year-old Lovely

(MARE) - Lovely is an independent and kind girl.  As her name suggests, Lovely is sweet and friendly with a great sense of humor. It can take some time to get her to open up, but once she is comfortable she enjoys her connections with others. Lovely is described as a quiet girl with a go-with-the-flow attitude. Lovely has a passion for food and often jokes about her big appetite. She enjoys painting and loves to display her art.

Lovely puts a great deal of effort into her school-work with the support of her foster family as well. She gets along well with her peers and with the adults in her life.

Lovely would do well with a family of any constellation, with or without other children. Lovely would do well with a patient and nurturing family who can take the time to build a trusting relationship.
