Rita is friendly, sociable, affectionate, and highly expressive. She communicates through facial expressions, gestures, and pointing, and is very attentive to her surroundings and others’ nonverbal cues. She responds well to sensory stimuli with smiles, vocalizations, and interaction, though she has moderate motor limitation on her right side.

Rita is good-humored, loves physical affection, and bonds easily with caregivers. She interacts well with other children, enjoys play, and imitates what interests her. Having experienced a disrupted adoption, she may carry unexpressed fears, but she continues to seek comfort and show affection, indicating strong potential to thrive in a loving, supportive family.
