Shanette from Pennsylvania

Shanette is a kind, open-minded, and reserved teenager. In her spare time, Shanette enjoys discovering new music, reading, creating art, and spending time in nature. Shanette loves rock climbing, zip lining, and playing basketball. While Shanette is very athletic, she prefers to stay active for fun instead of being on a formal team. Shanette loves trying new foods and is interested in learning how to cook. She also is interested in experimenting with different hairstyles. Learning to care for and maintain her hair is very important to Shanette so that she can feel confident and independent in caring for herself. Shanette is a wonderful student in school and is exploring her options for life after high school. Due to Shanette's age, termination of parental rights is not required for adoption to occur.
