Shay (Shakespeane) is a sweet, and polite girl. Her social worker describes her as lovable and engaging. She has a good imagination and sense of humor. Shay is well-liked by the adults in her life and they note that she’s extremely kind with an empathetic nature. Shay loves music, singing, and making Tik Tok videos. She also enjoys playing volleyball, make-up, and getting her hair done.

Shay will thrive in a loving and stable family of any constellation that can provide her with opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities, spend time with peers, and support her as she develops into a teenager.

Shay is longing for a permanent family and told a social worker, “I just want to be adopted somewhere peaceful, where I can stay for a long time. Maybe there will be a brother or a sister, but it doesn’t matter as long as I don’t have to keep moving and everyone is nice.” Shay’s social worker feels that she will do best as the only or youngest child in a home.
