Jenna
Birth Date: July 2006
Ethno-Cultural Background: First Nations
Are you an aboriginal family ready for a life time of opportunities? This little beauty has only had one birthday. You could help her celebrate all the rest of them. She is described as a very sweet little girl who has settled down greatly over her first year of life. Her care giver says she has been somewhat challenging to care for thus far. She presents as very alert at some times and at others less engaged. She had some allergies originally but seems to have overcome them.
Jenna is behind on meeting some of her developmental milestones although she has already taken her first step. Soon she will be all over the place. Perhaps your family would like to be the one following her around? Jenna is a delightful little package! She
needs a family prepared to coach her through a lifetime of milestones.
Some degree of openness will need to be negotiated with her grandmother and possibly her birth mother. Her family will need to have some knowledge about the possible impact of drugs and alcohol prior to birth. Jenna has some medical and neurological concerns that will require parents with some experience and a willingness to work with health care professional.
