Family wanted: Maliyah hopes for a home

Maliyah, 12, enjoys hanging out with friends, watching scary movies and cooking. She hopes someday to be a chef or a baker.

She also likes to stay active by playing basketball and running.

Her favorite class is math because she’s good at adding and subtracting.

Maliyah needs a loving and patient family and would do best in one with a strong female leader.

She hopes her new family will allow her to keep in contact with her extended family.
