Rayanna is a sweet, happy 8-year-old Caucasian girl who is ready to share fun and laughter in a family of her own. She can be shy at times, especially when first meeting someone new. Once she warms up, she shows off a spirited side.
Rayanna enjoys playing with other children and going outside to ride her bicycle and scooter. During quieter times, she likes arts and crafts activities. She loves animals and has helped feed the pets in past foster homes. When asked, Rayanna lists chicken nuggets and bananas as some of her favorite foods.
Currently, Rayanna lives at a residential home. She is in the second grade, and her favorite subjects are reading, math and science. She is doing well in school and receives support services to get the extra attention she needs to stay on task. Rayanna is also in therapy to address her emotional needs and the losses she has experienced in her young life.
Rayanna wants a family where she can belong and would like a mom, dad and siblings. It would be best if she were the youngest child in the home. Rayanna's social worker would like to consider all families who could meet Rayanna's needs, including two moms or a single parent. Rayanna is legally free for adoption.
To learn more about Rayanna, and about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at 617-54-ADOPT (617-542-3678) or visit

The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have "a permanent place to call HOME."
