Description
*Meet Kylie!
Meet Kylie! She is age 8. Kylie finished the 2nd grade and was being homeschooled. Kylie was adopted through the US foster system when she was 3 years old. She lives with her adoptive parents and four adoptive siblings (a sister who is 15, a brother who is 12, a brother who is 9, and a baby sister who is almost 2).
Kylie was previously matched to a new family in May of this year, but the transition proved to be very challenging to the family’s 10-year-old son. The transition from being an only child to having an 8-year-old sister was very emotional for him. That coupled with how much Kylie wanted his attention and affection was overwhelming to him. The family feels that Kylie would do best as an only child or with children (preferable sisters) who are at least 5 years older. We will send you info on this other placement if you write to us.
Kylie was in 5 or 6 other foster homes before coming to her current family when she was just two and a half. From the start, she struggled with jealousy over her parents’ attention and felt the need to compete with all the other siblings to be noticed. She has also verbalized that she believes that her current family “stole her away” from her birth mom. As a result, she seeks to be in control of her current family and hasn’t attached to them. They feel as though they haven’t gotten to know the real Kylie because she works so hard to control what everyone thinks about her. They are looking for a traditional Christian family. They want her to experience life as the baby of the family and as the main recipient of parental attention. They think she’d thrive as an only child or as the youngest by many years.
Kylie is a petite young lady who likes all things beautiful and fancy. She loves the color pink and would prefer to wear her fanciest, special-occasion clothes every day of the week (despite living on a farm and loving to play outside!) She likes having her nails done. She can be a great helper and likes helping dad outside with farm chores or helping mom with tasks in the house. If given the choice of playing indoors or outdoors, she’d opt for being outside. She likes riding her bike, playing on play equipment, swimming, and just being imaginative outside. She has never had the opportunity to be on a sports team because the family lives rurally, but that could be something she’d enjoy in the future.
Kylie’s parents say she’s not picky with food, and she really likes pizza. Her favorite toppings are beef and mushrooms. Despite being an adventurous eater, she prefers that pickles and mustard stay off of her sandwiches! Kylie likes playing board games and card games with her family. She really enjoys Go Fish and Uno.

This is a private adoption, so a state or foster home study might not work. A private domestic home study is generally required. You will need to have a current, or easily-updated home study for this adoption.
Due to state laws, we are not able to place this child in CT, MA, NY, or DE. If you live in OR, you may need to travel to the child’s state to finalize this adoption. If you live in WI, please let us know, as the adoption process may be longer and a bit more expensive than what is listed in our paperwork. NJ residents will need to check with their homestudy agency or an adoption attorney to see if their homestudy will work for this type of adoption. If you live in AL, we will need a pre-placement meeting between the child’s parents and a social worker after you are matched to a child. This will be an additional cost to you.
If you have never had a home study before, we cannot help you adopt this child. However, we would love to share with you the process of starting a home study so you could be approved for a child in the near future. Please write to us and ask how to get started!
If you are a U.S. citizen living overseas, we may be able to work with you depending on a few details. Please let us know your situation.
Adoption is a legal process so there will be costs associated. This adoption may qualify for the IRS Adoption Tax Credit.

*To protect the privacy of our waiting children and their families, Second Chance does not share real names for our waiting children on the Internet. It is our policy to only share a snippet of a waiting child’s details as well as the type of adoptive family we are looking for. If you fit the POSTED REQUIREMENTS, are home study ready (or can be soon!), and interested in adding this child to your family, please write to us for an honest, in-depth profile on the child including medical, educational, and behavioral information and learn the full story of why this child needs a secondary adoption. Our program social worker and program director have worked together with the child’s family to carefully set the requirements for the new family. These requirements are not negotiable, so please honor the needs of this child by not asking us to bend them for you.
