RICHMOND, Va. -- There are more than 700 children in Virginia's foster care system looking for a permanent and loving home. Among them are many pre-teens and teenagers who need to find that stability and love before they age out of the system.

"My friends would say I'm nice and kind for helping them out when they need it," she said.

Lilly works hard in school and loves learning new things.

"My favorite thing in the whole universe is flowers and creating different masterpieces," she said.

Lilly enjoys singing, swimming, horseback riding, and has a sweet tooth.
