hazel is waiting for a family

Bubbly and enthusiastic encompasses Hazel’s personality! Journaling and listening to music crown this teen’s list for a relaxing afternoon. Hazel enjoys participating in the Special Olympics and attending YMCA camp. Gymnastics, crafts, and activity workbooks are also enjoyable activities for her. Hazel delights in being able to take vacations, and if you ask, she may just share her beloved spots with you. She is excited to learn more about cooking and catering in school. Red, blue and purple are all top picks for a favorite color. Hazel is very engaging with adults; she appreciates being included in planning. An outgoing gal, she enjoys time with peers. When she is older, Hazel can see herself in a career where she will help others, design clothing, or cook.

Hazel is driven to do well in school. As a hard-working eleventh grader, she is earning As and Bs.


Hazel would do best in a family with two moms or a single mom with pets, in which she can be the oldest child in the home; however, her caseworker will consider all family types. She has significant connections she will need to maintain following placement. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

For Colorado children, both home studied and non-home studied Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only home studied families from other states should do so.
