About Jayla
Jayla has a playful personality and loves finding reasons to laugh. She enjoys reading, coloring, completing word searches, dancing, and watching funny baby and animal videos. She also likes swimming, jumping on the trampoline, and spending time with friends playing board games or using her imagination. Her favorite games include Uno, Skip-Bo, Monopoly, Go Fish, Sorry, Trouble, and Old Maid. On weekends, she enjoys watching softball games, relaxing with a movie, or spending time doing the things she loves most.
Jayla describes herself as funny, kind, and someone who loves Jesus. Those who know her best describe her as caring, bubbly, and thoughtful. She enjoys showing others she cares through kind gestures and values the people who take time to check in on her, especially when she's having a difficult day. Looking ahead, Jayla hopes to become a lawyer. If she could travel anywhere, she would visit Pennsylvania because she loves its beautiful scenery and trees. She also has an imaginative dream of visiting Candyland to see all of its colorful creatures.
Jayla does best with patient adults who provide consistency, understanding, and encouragement. When she feels regulated and supported, she is able to follow through with responsibilities at home and school. She is currently hesitant about her adoption plan, so she will need a family willing to build trust at her pace while helping her feel safe, supported, and understood.
Jayla would do best with two experienced, trauma-informed parents, and she hopes for a mom and dad if possible. She would thrive as the only child in the home, where she can receive plenty of individual attention. Jayla loves animals and would enjoy a home with pets. She dreams of a forever family that will go on adventures, take vacations, play games, go to the movies, and even enjoy fun outings like getting their nails done together while creating lasting memories.
