Ariana Pettit

Ariana Pettit is the adoptive daughter of Crystal and Aaron.

Biography
Ariana was placed in foster care at the age of 6 with her older sister and half-brother, but her half-brother then went to live with his father and Ariana found herself alone with her sister. She was placed in foster care because of her biological mother’s "inability to protect".

Her biological mother brought home "not nice" guys who didn’t treat Ariana, her sister and her brother well. After a few days in foster care, Ariana was placed with her biological uncle and her biological aunt, but her sister was not with her because she was having a difficult time.

After a while, Her uncle and aunt decided to put Ariana back into foster care because she too was having a hard time without her sister. She then lived in a group home with her sister, but her sister was placed elsewhere because of her behavior.

Then Ariana was living with a couple of elderly people, Connie and Dave for a year. Connie and Dave were like grandparents to her, but they felt she deserved to be adopted by a younger couple, and that’s how Aaron and Crystal got into Ariana’s life. She considers her former legal guardians, Connie and Dave, as her grandparents and is still in contact with them.
