My mom, sister, and I!

My mom, sister, and I!

What is the best word to describe our family?

Close-knit. I'm fortunate that I come from a family that is very close and supportive. We all live in the same neighborhood and spend time together often.

-Teresa

In five years, our relationship with our birth mother will...

Be mutual. I am open to discussing what type of relationship my birth mother is hoping to have.

-Teresa

Favorite season and why?

I absolutely love the summer season. I enjoy doing as much as I can outdoors when the sun is shining. I have many fond memories of road trips, BBQs, swimming, and going to the movies during the summer

-Teresa

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

It's very family oriented, active, diverse, and very safe. We have many parks, jogging/biking trails, local shops, great schools, restaurants, and many community events. My profile pic is of my town.

-Teresa

Three years from now, I hope our birth mom is…..

Thriving, happy, and confident in her decision.

-Teresa

We are the best choice because…

I am able to provide a loving, stable environment and have the added support of nearby family. We all live in the same neighborhood and have many fun, family get-togethers.

-Teresa

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

At the end of the day regardless of what you believe, ultimately the goal is to treat one another compassionately.

-Teresa

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

I don't have human children, but I have two of the sweetest dogs:) I treat them like they're my kids and they are my family members. They mean the world to me.

-Teresa

I would never...

withhold that my child is adopted from him/her.

-Teresa

My favorite place in the World is...

at home with my family/friends. They are my support and inspiration. My town is gorgeous and offers every type of scenery from the ocean to mountains, forests, and lush greenery everywhere.

-Teresa

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

To spread compassion and understanding of one another.

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

RV definitely, I love road trips so I wouldn’t mind traveling around and exploring!

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

trivia! I’ve always had a knack for remembering the smallest/oddest facts.

-Teresa

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

This is a tough one…I’m a foodie but I’ll go with chicken🍗

-Teresa

Dogs or cats?

I adore all animals but dogs are my favorite by far.

-Teresa

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

Summer nights, get-togethers with friends and family, and camping! I look forward to sharing these experiences with a child someday.

-Teresa

My best friend would describe me as...

Altruistic, kind-hearted, and adventurous. I enjoy sight seeing and the outdoors.

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”
