Xena is known as a girl with a sweet personality who rarely cries. She likes to play in her bed with toys that make noise, listen to music, and be near and hold the hands of her caregivers. Xena can bang two blocks together, understand when others speak to her, and follow simple directions. As of March of 2018, she could sit without support, stay in a crawl position, creep on her tummy, reach for toys, and visually follow her caregivers when they moved around the room. Xena was born with Down Syndrome, congenital heart disease (Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Atrial Septal Defect), and she has had surgery (anoplasty) for anal atresia.
An adoptive family for Xena is also eligible for a $5000 matching grant from RODS Racing!
Xena’s adoption agency is offering a grant of $1000, as well.
