Six-year-old Stormy is a fan of “My Little Pony” and all things adorned with ribbons, crowns and frills. Stormy loves to engage in life, explore nature, be active, watch cartoons and go camping. She also loves to collect leaves and then learn the names of the trees they belong to.

Stormy’s love, generous affection and great sense of humor make her truly a special and unique girl. Her foster parent has said, “I have been a foster parent for 12 years and have never come across a child as sweet, affectionate and loving as this one.”

Stormy loves going to school. Riding the bus, making friends and learning new skills make her very happy. Stormy does have some special needs and receives formal supports in all academic areas. Her cognitive delays will likely be lifelong; however, she continues to make great strides. Stormy combines both verbal language and American Sign Language for communication. A family that either uses sign language or is open to learning it would be a great fit.

Stormy is medically stable but does have a condition that requires routine lab work and parents who can ensure a healthy active lifestyle and offer balanced meals. Part of her condition causes muscle stiffness, especially in her legs and fingers.

Stormy thrives with a predictable and structured home. She loves knowing what is planned for her day and following her routine. She is very proud of herself when she can independently accomplish tasks and will reward you with a big smile when she knows she has done what was asked of her.

Stormy participates in a variety of services. She will need parents who can ensure she gets to appointments, engage her in learning activities outside school, and provide tons of positive encouragement and love.
