Nevaeh is open to the type of family but would prefer an African American family. Nevaeh is open to a family that has other children and does not have a preference if they are older or younger. Nevaeh would do well in a home that is able to keep consistent rules and boundaries. She would like to live in the city vs. the country and would enjoy having a cat.
