It’s amazing how quickly Isabella is growing up. She is in the midst of her 7th grade year at school right now and continued to be busy with a lot of things. She plays a lot of soccer, playing for both her school team and travel team this past fall. A knee injury shut her down for the winter but she should be good to start the spring season this month. She started playing the electric guitar this winter and has picked that up quickly. She is quite musically inclined. She loves to listen to music too and counts Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan as some of her favorite artists.

Izzy has started to become more and more curious about her birth family. Mostly just to have an understanding of where and who she came from. Moving forward we are happy to do whatever is necessary on our end to help open up meaningful communication for her. But, of course, we always want to make sure to respect the wishes of you both as well.
