Learning to play: Trombone
Always up for: Singing and dancing
Favorite games: Uno and Monopoly
Looking for: An adoptive family

Super chatty and very sweet, especially once you’ve built up a good rapport with her, Zoie is an awesome kid looking for a permanent home and family. Friendly and caring, Zoie is very kind to other kids and adults.


Currently in the 7th grade, she gets along with her peers well, which is unsurprising considering the qualities we’ve shared about her so far. At school, Zoie enjoys learning about history and math, but band is her favorite class. She has a very musical spirit and loves learning to play instruments. She played the clarinet for the past three years, and this year decided to try out the trombone, which she is loving!


Zoie demonstrates what she's learned on trombone so far.

For fun, Zoie likes to get outdoors and stay active. Playing outside is a favorite thing to do, and she’s not picky about the activity. When indoors, Zoie is always up for some board games, especially if it’s Monopoly. You can also often find her rooting for the Seattle Seahawks on game day.

She loves spending time with the important people in her life, so these types of family activities are important. Zoie is happy getting time to herself, too. On school days, after her homework is done, Zoie loves to turn on some music in her room to sing and dance to, imagining she's a performer like her favorite, Kelly Clarkson.

When asked what kind of family Zoie is looking for, she mentions that a family who likes to play outdoors would be great. She adds that she likes animals, especially dogs and cats, and would like for there to be other kids in the home, though she’s flexible about that. Zoie also wants families to know she has a strong relationship with her older sister so it will be important for an adoptive family to appreciate and help continue that relationship.

If you can see Zoie in your family, please reach out. We’re excited to find her the loving adoptive family she deserves.
