Editor's Note: Window on the Clearwater has joined the Wednesday's Child network to help spread the word about children that are waiting for families to give them the loving care that they need. Each Wednesday we will profile a different child. For more information about Wednesday's Child and how you can be involved check the web site at: http://www.idahowednesdayschild.org/.

Nadine

Age: 10

"Hi, my name is Nadine. I enjoy singing, dancing, and playing dress-up. I like school, and my favorite subjects are reading, art, and science. I also love to swim. I think my friends would describe me as smart, loyal, and loving."

Nadine is a sweet natured nine-year-old girl who bonds easily to adults who are willing to build trust and provide safety for her. Nadine's adoption worker stated that Nadine is also outgoing and talkative. She is said to enjoy playing with dolls and dressing them up. She also likes Hannah Montana.

The adoption team is looking for a family that consists of a single woman or a couple, with no other children or pets, who are skilled parents and can provide safety, reassurance, and the boundaries she needs to have healthy relationships. They also need to be familiar with children with attachment issues and who are skilled at parenting a child who acts out due to extreme trauma. Her future permanent home needs to be able to help her use her words to have her needs met. She has made great progress within her current foster family and is now yearning for a parent or parents who can give her unconditional love in a permanent home.

Nadine is a beautiful young lady who deserves a happy secure life in a family. If you feel you can provide Nadine this kind of home, please call the Idaho CareLine.

To find out more about Nadine, adoption or becoming a foster parent, email the Idaho CareLine or call 1-800-926-2588. You may be asked to provide this reference number: 30404.
