There are about 800 children who are ready for adoption in Virginia. They are ready to find a permanent and loving forever family. 10 News is highlighting one child who needs a home every day in November during 30 Days of Hope. The children are of all ages and races and were put into foster care due to no fault of their own. 2024 marks the eighth year 10 News is doing this series.
Harmony likes to give hugs and likes to walk hand in hand with people she cares about. She loves being active. We featured her in 2023, during 30 Days of Hope too.
“I feel happy when going somewhere like the beach, the lake, a hotel or going to see animals,” said Harmony.
The 14-year-old likes being outside riding bikes, playing basketball, running or going swimming.
“I like to go fishing sometimes in the spring and make stuff out of sticks and leaves.”
She is already thinking about her future too.
“I want to be a foster mom or a doctor.”
She enjoys singing and does not mind performing for a large crowd. Harmony’s favorite subject is science, and she enjoys animals, especially chickens.
“My favorite food is tacos, [with] cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, meat, chicken. I put hot sauce, sour cream, bacon.”
Harmony believes in being nice to others and giving them respect. She’s also very generous and gave a Barbie to another child in need of gifts during Christmas. She wishes for a happy life with a family.
Could you be that family for Harmony?
