Loves: Singing in her school choir
Always up for: A game of Monopoly
Skilled at: Whipping up recipes in the kitchen
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.

Zoie loves being in high school. She’s made a ton of friends and enjoys all of her classes. Her favorite classes are math and choir. Zoie has a very musical spirit and loves learning to play instruments, singing, and dancing. She also enjoys performing on and off stageany chance to make music, Zoie takes!


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 asked what kind of family Zoie is looking for, she mentions that a family who likes to play outdoors would be great.


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. Zoie loves spending time with the important people in her life, so these types of family activities are important to her.

Zoie loves animals, especially dogs and cats, and is excited about the possibility of finding a family with pets! Zoie would also love to have siblings in a 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 her 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.


Beyond the Profile: I’ve gotten to know Zoie over the past few years while collaborating with her on her In-Depth Profile® projects and I have loved seeing her blossom into the amazing young person she has become. Zoie has always been one of the kindest, most caring youth I’ve ever met. She is so open and fun to talk with, sharing about her music and dancing ambitions, telling me about her friends and teachers whom she adores, and spreading her positivity everywhere she goes. Zoie has a kind of self-confidence that is inspiring and she is always lifting up those around her too. Simply put, Zoie is just a pleasure to be around and have in your life. I cannot wait for Zoie to find the love and support of a permanent family like she deserves.
