Shannon

Birth date: October 1993
Ethno-Cultural Background: Caucasian

Here's a bold girl with imagination and a dramatic flare. Shannon says she's good at singing, and describes herself as "friendly and nice." She admits she might talk too much…but she's a girl who just loves socializing!

Her other favourite activities include attending Girl Guides and swimming. Shannon attends school full time where she excels in language arts, and she sometimes needs help with her math. Although she was exposed prenatally to alcohol, Shannon has no health issues and she is developing appropriately for her age. Shannon does need strong guidance in learning to respect personal boundaries and socially interacting with her peers.

Shannon says having an adoptive family means that she won't have to move again. She needs an adoptive family that is agreeable to openness with her birth mother through letters and phone calls. Shannon also has a close connection to her aunt and would like to continue to occasionally visit her. A family with no younger children would best suit Shannon, and a family with pets would be just fine.
