Laken describes herself as motivated, assertive, selfadvocating and determined. One of her favorite pastimes is reading: if given a chance, she’ll start and finish a book in one day! Academically, in addition to achieving excellent grades, she has several Microsoft certifications and hopes to become a brilliant lawyer someday. She is interested in attending college to study Law and Psychology. She loves to dress up, often changing her outfits four or five times a day. Aside from clothes, she enjoys getting her nails and hair done, as well as trying out new make-up designs. She loves taking pictures, coloring with Sharpies and drawing anchors. As far as she’s concerned, family, loyalty, stability, love, friendship and fairness are values that are important to her and she’s seeking a family who’ll support her, her future and her family connections. She’s open to the idea of having siblings but is mostly interested in having older ones. Laken also wishes to have structure and stability in her ideal family.
