Tara from Pennsylvania

Tara's bike bounces as she navigates the uneven pavement while riding down the sidewalk with her best friends! For Tara, this is a sacred ritual. Her favorite pastimes are riding bikes through town and stopping for a quick snack at the market, just to head back to the house and watch scary movies with her friends. Although Tara can be shy, after a little time getting to know her, you will come to find that she is extremely kind and caring. Tara's favorite time of the year is Halloween. Trick-or-treating and haunted mazes are her favorites. Even as a teenager, Tara says, "I'm never too old to trick or treat!" Believe it or not, Tara also loves to cheer. Her goal is to be able to join a school and begin cheering again. Tara is also very creative. In the future, she dreams of using her creativity to become a nail technician. Tara is looking for a family that will love and support her. Tara can be hesitant to try new things and often needs the comfort of those she loves to be there and help her through. Parental rights have not been terminated for Tara. For more information, a family can call the SWAN Helpline at 1-800-585-SWAN or have the family worker contact the recruiter, Karli Byerly, via telephone or email at kbyerly@casmercer.org.
