Jonique is a sweet, smart 12-year-old of Cape Verdean and Caucasian descent.
She tends to be quiet at first and needs time to warm up to new people.
Once she feels comfortable, she shares her good sense of humor.
Jonique is completing the sixth grade where her favorite subject is science.
She likes learning and does well in school, and she gets along well with her peers.
Jonique wants to grow up to be a nurse.
In her spare time, Jonique likes to read, draw and ride her bicycle.
She is currently enjoying the Harry Potter series.
Jonique would like more opportunities to try various activities, such as swimming, singing, and acting.
In her foster home, Jonique is generally respectful and obeys household rules.
She has been in foster care for several years and is ready to find a family of her own where she is loved and accepted.
She wants to fit in and feel that she belongs.
Jonique's social worker is seeking a single mom or a two-parent family who will provide Jonique with nurturance, structure and accountability when necessary.
Jonique would like to have siblings and would do well with other children her age or older.
She also has an older sister and contact between them would be beneficial.
Legally free for adoption, Jonique is waiting to blossom with a caring family by her side.
