Born in 2005

Jossella is a little sweetheart. She's figured out how to string together sentences but resorts to her own gibberish language when the moment is right. She loves her sister Marian very much. Jossella loves to show off the songs she learns at school.

Bio

Jossela and her older sister Marian entered Por Los Niños in December of 2008 by an order of ingression from the Youth and Family Court Judge.

Marian and Jossela's mother and two older sisters lived with an adoptive grandmother. Their mother was married to the father of the three oldest children, but he was killed when she was pregnant with Marian. Marian never knew her father, and their mother has no marketable skills.

She sold everything of value that she had and was still unable to completely support her children. She was in a relationship with a man for a while who was supporting the family, but he left when Jossella was born.

Both children were in reasonably good health when they joined Por Los Niños. They were timid at first, but quickly latched on to their new house parents.

They continue to act very much like sisters – fiercely loyal but sometimes a little cruel to one another. Jossella is the quintessential "little sister" and loves all the attention she can get. When prompted to by the older children of the house, she performs happily for any audience.
