Sonya, 18 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Sonya was placed in a group home after spending eight years with a foster family that was no longer able to meet her needs. This has been a hard transition for her as she developed a close bond with her previous foster parents and desires to be in a family unit. Sonya has a magnetic personality. She is a huge fan of the Korean Pop Group BTS and loves watching BTS music videos in her free time. She loves school, spending time with her friends, and expressing her creativity through her hair and nails.

Sonya is requesting a 23andMe DNA Test Kit because she has very limited information on her ethnic background and no ties to biological family members to learn more. She has begun expressing interest in these things to help form a sense of identity, so the opportunity to gain insights through DNA testing is something she would be happy to receive as a gift.
