About Marianna
Marianna “Mari” is a bright, outgoing, and creative teen who lights up a room with her energy and big personality. She’s confident, speaks her mind, and genuinely enjoys making friends and spending time with people she clicks with. Mari is incredibly loyal, she sticks by her friends and the people she cares about, and she’s quick to stand up for what’s fair or for someone she loves. She takes pride in her independence and feels mature for her age, which makes her even more determined to advocate for herself and what she believes in.
Mari has a fun, artistic side that really shines. She loves drawing and painting, experimenting with bold hair colors and cool nail designs, and expressing her creativity in her own unique way. She’s smart and driven, especially when she’s excited about something. Mari is developmentally on track. You’ll often find her enjoying simple, everyday joys like going for walks or bike rides, playing basketball, listening to music, getting her nails done, or heading out for a movie, shopping trip, or a favorite meal (she’s a big fan of McDonald’s chicken nuggets, fries, pizza, and ice cream). She’s active, coordinated, and keeps up with her self-care without any issues.
Mari works best with calm, patient adults who talk to her respectfully and avoid being overly bossy. She’s building important skills in counseling, like pausing to calm down, thinking about how others feel, and handling frustration in healthy ways and she’s making good progress. She’s developmentally on track, does well expressing what she wants and needs, and is quick to ask for help when she needs it. In school, she’s on grade level, finds math easy, and brings her social energy to peer groups she connects with.
Above all, Mari is resilient and adaptable. She dreams of finding a loving adoptive family she already has a real connection with, one that will be patient with her, include her in decisions, stick with her through the normal ups and downs of teenage life, and give her the sense of belonging and normalcy she’s longing for.
If you think you could offer Mari the warm, supportive home filled with love, laughter, and steady guidance she deserves, please reach out. We’d love to connect you with this vibrant, loyal, and creative young woman who is so ready to be part of a forever family.
