Natasha is a polite, engaging teen born in March 1995. Like most girls her age, her interests include shopping, music, clothes and reading the “Twilight” series. Easygoing by nature, she likes many types of music, from country to hip-hop to dance music. She enjoys watching chick flicks, action adventures and other movie genres.

She strives to get good grades at her public high school. She likes to hang out with her friends during school and after, and says she keeps her room “kinda clean.”

Natasha has recently reconnected with some members of her birth family. She hopes to continue those relationships.

Donovan, born in August 1996, is creative, smart and has a keen sense humor. He is an honor roll student. While he would rather be active outdoors, he does enjoy playing video games and listening to music. He likes to canoe, kayak, fish, bike, swim and go camping.

Donovan hopes to have a pet, particularly a dog. He loves watching the TV show “Animal Planet” and then talking about the featured animals.

Natasha and Donovan are two of the 154 children currently in the Maine Department of Health and Human Service’s care who are seeking an adoptive family. Based in Gardiner, A Family for ME is a nonprofit that works in collaboration with Maine DHHS.
