Marilyn entered the room in the sweetest little dress and the most shy face of the day. With her foster mom beside her she came my way to check out what was in the special suitcase. Within minutes she was settled in on a coloring page and the colors all spread out ready to use. She started in an upright position to soon end up all involved in the delicate perfection of the color page. Head down almost to the floor, color in hand, and her hair almost covering her face she went to work on her masterpiece.
A few snap shots with the camera brought out her precious smile. She would pause for a photo then return to coloring. Her attention was redirected once other children came into the room. She was off to play! She has the best time running around, climbing the jungle gym, and throwing a ball around with the boys.
Marilyn has hearing loss and wears hearing aids. She also is on medication for epilepsy. This precious little girl is in search of a forever family. She is looking for someone to play house with, color with, and of course run up and down the slide with… Could that be you?
