Child Waits for Adoption
Debbie is an adorable little girl with an upbeat
and friendly nature w ho is awaiting adoption.
Her sense o f hum or, already highly developed,
is a terrific asset. That D ebbie is able to keep
grinning and giggling after all she has been
through really speaks to her resiliency.
W ith her high energy level and very sociable
personality, D ebbie will gladly lend a hand
around the house or help out in the kitchen. She
is fond of delving into projects, such as string­
ing beads, but a high level o f supervision is
needed as she can get herself into tricky situa­
tions.
Debbie needs a fam ily w ho can help her to
work on boundaries in a very calm , patient and
consistent mariner. She will continue to need
supplem entary services, both developm entally
;fnd em otionally, in order to reach her full poten­
tial and to further her healing. Debbie has a
wealth of joy and laughter to share with a family
w hocan w eather her more difficult tim es with a
smile.
Debbie, age 5
She is one o f approxim ately 3(X) Oregon
children available for adoption through the
state, generally because o f abuse and neglect.
