At 16 years-old Cerue is ready for forever.

The social butterfly makes friends easily, but she’s ready to find a family to love and call her own.

Cerue likes to stay busy hiking, shopping, and playing football. The teen is incredibly athletic and outgoing.

Even though Cerue is fun-loving, she takes school and academics very seriously. She does well in school and is a very bright and articulate young woman.

Cerue does not have a strong opinion on what her forever family looks like, but she hopes to find someone who can braid her hair or know people who can do the styles she likes. She gets along well with other kids and wants to stay in contact with her biological brother. She loves In & Out, Panda Express, and ice cream and hopes her forever family does too.

Cerue’s child specific adoption recruiter at Aid to Adoption of Special Kids (AASK) says she is a very easy-going teen who just wants to be part of a family that wants her. Cerue would like to stay in Northwest Phoenix so that she can stay connected to her school, sports, and friends.
