CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — This Texas child wants a family to call her own.
16-year-old Veronica enjoys her time playing with animals, and has expressed her love for them as her leading reason to consider a career as a veterinarian. As the well-being of animals are very important to her.
For entertainment, Veronica enjoys listening to pop, hip-hop, rap, and any musician that is mainstream and has a good beat to their music. She also likes collecting candles from Bath and Body Works.
Veronica enjoys spending time with her current caretakers and their extended family members, which is why she knows she wants to be a part of her own forever family. She says she is looking for a family who will provide her with a forever connection that will always have an endless amount of love.
