Like anyone, some things just come easier than others for Miranda.

Skee-ball isn't her forte, but that didn't stop her from trying at Kazaams, then taking her tickets and putting it behind her.

At the next stop, her dance moves came naturally, just like her charm.

"She really wants to be involved with other people and wants them to be accepting of her," Clinical Coordinator Sherry Faulk says.

A young girl, even younger at heart, who loves Care Bears, SpongeBob and math!

Miranda wants to be a babysitter, and thinks maybe one day she'll have her own daycare.

She loves being around little kids, because she can let go of her reality and just be one herself.

"I get to spend time with them, it's really really fun," Miranda says.

Miranda deserves all the love a mom and dad could give. So, despite her adoration of children, she would probably fit best in a family where she wouldn't have to compete for attention.

"She really wants people to be invested in her. She's had several different families so she is really looking to find her place," Faulk says.

If she could pick out a pair of prize parents, they would include her in the simple things that matter to her most.

"Nice parents," she says.
"Would they take you places?" I ask.
"Yeah. Walmart, because I love Walmart," she says.

No wish list of extravagant luxuries for this gal. She just longs for the simple pleasures of being a part of loving family, and the chance to turn those everyday moments into memories that will last a lifetime.
