Makiyah is a very insightful and thoughtful teenager. While she describes herself as shy and independent, she would thrive with a family that will support her academics. She recently toured the College of Nursing at USF and is super motived and driven to attend college and become a nurse. She is also the proud owner of two beta fish, Stitch and Lola, and spends hours researching how to best take care of them. Stitch is her favorite Disney character, and the theme of her 16th birthday. Makiyah would like to stay in the Pinellas County area but would be open to exploring families in other counties if they are the right fit. She is open to a single or two parent household, but it is important the family respects her LGBTQ+ identity. Her ideal weekend would be “low-key,” with spontaneous trips to the pet store or the beach.
Makiya’s adoption ID is #103801636.
