About Billie-Ann
Billie-Ann, who prefers to go by Billie, has a quiet strength that shows up in the ways she cares for others. She’s nurturing by nature, with a “mother goose” personality that shines through when she’s spending time with her younger siblings or helping around the house. Those who know her best describe her as friendly, determined, and full of potential. She doesn’t just dream about her future; she’s actively working toward it. One of Billie’s proudest accomplishments is the role she’s played in her siblings’ lives. She’s stepped up when they needed someone, and that sense of responsibility has shaped how she moves through the world. Her dreams for adulthood reflect this same heart—she wants to be a mother one day, and she hopes to become a social worker or therapist so she can support children and teens who are navigating hard things. She knows what it’s like to struggle, and she wants to be the kind of adult who helps others feel seen, heard, and supported. Billie’s interests are full of color and creativity. She lights up when she’s doing hair or makeup—either for herself or the people she cares about. It’s one of her favorite ways to spend time with friends, whether they’re hanging out and chatting, scrolling through their phones, or just being together. She loves pink, especially baby pink, and brings her personal style into everything she does. On the weekends, she likes to relax with family, eat good food, and enjoy the holidays she looks forward to most: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Dressing up, gift-giving, and celebrating with loved ones bring her real joy.
At school, Billie is working hard to catch up in her classes because she’s determined to graduate on time. Math is her favorite subject, and even though some days are challenging, she continues to show up and push forward. She participates in ceramics and wants to participate in cheer—both sideline and competitive—and finds comfort in creative expression and staying active. When she’s not at school, she enjoys games like Spot It, making crafts, and spending time with animals (especially dogs, Pitbulls and Great Danes are her favorite, though she feels most comfortable with pets that aren’t overly energetic). “Billie is friendly, nurturing, determined, and a survivor,” an adult close to her describes her. Billie is open about what matters most to her: strong relationships, being accepted for who she is, and feeling safe enough to let her guard down. She wishes for a future where she can see her siblings regularly, build a closer bond with a relative, and be part of a family who truly sees her—not just for what she’s been through, but for who she is and what she’s capable of becoming.
Building trust takes time with Billie. She can be guarded and may test the strength of relationships when she starts to feel safe. But beneath that armor is a young woman who deeply wants connection. She wants to know that when someone says they’ll stick around, they mean it. A patient, trauma-informed family, one who understands love isn’t earned overnight, would give Billie the foundation she needs to thrive. She would do best in a home with a single mom, two moms, or mom and dad who are experienced and where consistency, understanding, and advocacy are present, and where she is encouraged to be her whole self. Billie has a big heart, a sharp sense of humor, and a resilience that carries her through even the hardest days. She’s thoughtful, selfless, and learning how to believe in her own worth. With the right support, there’s no limit to what she can achieve.
