Ten-year-old E'Vazsa (ee-vay-zhuh) wants to be a pediatrician when she grows up:

"Because I want to help people like if they're sick."

She's also the consummate performer:

"I like to sing and dance around my room."

She loves spending time with her younger sister, and hopes the two of them can be adopted together into a loving home:

"We just play a lot." 

(Kane:) "Do you take care of her or does she take care of you?"

(E'Vazsa:)  "Both. She kind of looks after me and I kind of look after her sometimes." 

(Kane:) "That's the way it should be, right?  Because you are the family." 

(E'Vazsa:) "Yes."

Her social worker, Jacqueline Cassidy, says that right now E'Vazsa and her sister live in separate homes:

"She makes sure to ask me every time she sees me about her sister.  She wants to take care of Lamonne even though they're not together."
