Meet a Fun, Sarcastic 17 Year Old Waiting to be Adopted from Foster Care

January 26, 2018 by Staff Contributor

We have one month left to match Lonnae with a loving family

Lonnae loves to make people laugh with her witty and sarcastic sense of humor. She also loves helping people as she is very compassionate, kind, and encouraging. She likes to make people feel better and lately has been talking about building a career supporting individuals living in group homes. 

Superhero movies, such as the Avengers, are her favorite thing to watch—and scary movies come in a close second. She is very athletic and enjoys biking, playing football, and fishing. In her free time, she also plays video games on the computer and listens to rap and hip hop music.

Lonnae embraces her independence and likes to make her own decisions.  She really values having a job and earning money so that she can buy the things she wants.

We would love to find Lonnae a permanent family before her 18th birthday. She would do best in a family that provides a safe, positive, and consistent home environment where she is the only child.  She would like a family that is flexible while providing consistent supervision.  She wants to stay in Minnesota to remain in contact with her birth family.

Details to Note

The majority of costs to Minnesota clients adopting youth under Minnesota state guardianship are covered by a contract with the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

Learn More About Lonnae

If you would like to know more about Lonnae, please contact Kayla Hendrickson at [email protected] or 651-255-2249. Families may have to provide certain documentation to receive full information.
