Re: Smiles' Adoption Agency
Alessandra Maria - 15
Alessandra was put into the agency after it was discovered that her step-father both sexually and physically abused her. She often wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares of her step-father. She is from Cancun, but speaks both Spanish and English because when she was 5, she moved to California. She stayed there until she was 14 She was then transferred into our Bombay agency. While in California, she became a member of her school's color guard team and a great interest of reading grew on her. She loves helping out with smaller children and has decided that when she grows up she wants to be a kindergarten teacher.
