Meet Julie!

Julie is a compassionate, generous, and social teenager who glows with kindness. She is a talented artist with a gift for drawing portraits that perfectly capture facial expressions. She enjoys baking, and takes pride in her signature cheesecake recipe. Julie has big dreams of becoming a nurse because she cares deeply about helping people and doesn’t like to see anyone suffer. At the same time, she hopes art will always remain part of her life.

She would love to visit Japan one day, since she’s passionate about its culture, anime, and fashion. At home, she enjoys sharing about her day and helping with chores. Nothing makes her smile like a good joke or a funny video. She is also a true cat lover who finds joy in spending time with a feline friend.

Julie will thrive with a family that values honesty and open communication and one that will encourage her natural talents and dreams. She says what matters most to her is having important conversations and being on the same page. Julie is a bright young woman who is already shining and will shine even brighter with a loving family. If you believe you could be that family, submit an inquiry today!
