Highlighted Child from show airing 5-31-10

Jamie is an active 12-year-old with a love of the outdoors. Although she is a little shy when meeting new people, she comes out of her shell when hiking, going to the zoo, or playing sports. She is an avid admirer of Dora the Explorer, Tinkerbell and all things pink!.

Although she is developmentally delayed, Jamie does not let this stop her. She excels in school, where she is enrolled in a special classroom in a regular elementary school. She thrives on routine and stability.

With the love, consistency and encouragement of her foster family, Jamie has blossomed. At this point in her life, what she needs most is a loving, patient, committed permanent family that will provide her with the same support and structured environment she currently has and help her reach her potential. Most of all, Jamie desires a family who will always be there for her. She should be the youngest or only child in the family. Jamie is eligible for financial subsidy.
