TyLeah (above right) is 13 years old and says it is very important for her to be adopted with her big sister, Donna (above left).

(Kane:)  "Do you guys get along well?
(TyLeah:)  "Yes."
(Donna:)  "Yes."
(Kane:)  "Are you close?"
(TyLeah:)  "Yes."
(Kane:)  "Tell me what you mean by close, you tell each other..."
(TyLeah:)   "Almost everything."
(Donna:)  "Almost."
(Kane:)  "What don't you tell each other?"
(TyLeah:)  "Nothing."

TyLeah likes to draw, sing, and talk to her friends.

(Kane:)  "What do you talk to your friends about?"
(TyLeah:)  "Their day and what's going on."
(Kane:)  "So you're the kind of person that's on the phone a lot?"
(TyLeah:)  "Yeah."

She likes scary movies and hopes to be a lawyer when she grows up.

(Kane:)  "So you want to go to college?"
(TyLeah:)  "Yes."
(Kane:)  "How are your grades?"
(TyLeah:)  "My grades are good."

TyLeah's sister Donna -- who we'll meet next week -- describes her younger sister this way:

"Very beautiful.  I think she has pretty eyes and a pretty smile.  Smart and funny."
