helping Misti find a forever family

On Thursday of last week we had the opportunity to work with The Adoption Exchange and CBS4 to help a lovely young lady named Misti find a forever family.  She was a riot, she was very funny and fun to be around.

We made upcycled soda can necklaces.  You take empty soda cans, rinse them out, cut them open and you can use scrapbook punches to punch out cute little flowers.  You then attach them to a necklace and ta da! a fun spring garden, perfect for a chilly winter's day.  It might not have been the best project choice, but I think they did alright.  Here is Misti and Evrod (and Eddie the cameraman) working on their projects.

Misti, age 11

Prepare your heart for this sweet and engaging songbird! Misti enjoys singing her heart out; Taylor Swift is particular favorite of hers. When this creative princess isn't singing she likes to stay active by dancing, playing outside or riding her bike. 

As a fourth grader, she benefits from an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). She is in tune with others' needs and likes to please others.

The caseworker prefers a two-parent or single-female family; however, all family types will be considered. Misti would thrive with a family who has a structured routine and is predictable. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

Our sincere thanks to The Adoption Exchange and CBS4 for thinking of us.  We really, really hope that Misti finds a forever family, we know she'd really like one.  To watch the full segment, tune into CBS4 tomorrow, Wednesday, February 27th.
