Meet Layla!

Layla is a sweet 6-year-old resilient girl who sees the world with curiosity, determination, and a joyful spirit. She enjoys music, dancing, and making funny noises that bring smiles to those around her. A true Minnie Mouse fan, Layla loves having Minnie featured in her clothes, toys, and decorations.

Layla enjoys activities that engage her senses, especially those involving lights, music, and hands-on exploration. She continues to make progress in her mobility and works hard toward her goals each day. Layla’s teachers describe her as a persistent, strong-willed, and determined girl!

Layla would do best in a patient, nurturing, and committed family that can provide consistency, celebrate her accomplishments, and support her continued growth and development. The family that opens their heart to Layla will have the opportunity to watch a determined little girl continue reaching new milestones and discovering all that she is capable of.

If you believe your family could be a good match for Layla, we encourage you to submit an inquiry to learn more!
