Hi, My name is Teresa,
AKA: Califgal. I am writing this to let you know about me,
my life and family. My life really became real for
me 13 years ago when I first met my husband, and my
best friend. I met Michael through a computer dating
service called "IDS". The day we met I told my
roomate I was going to marry this wonderful guy. One
year to the very day, we married. We were married in
San Pedro on the Princess Louise, a ship in the
harbor. The wedding was attended by all our closest
friends and family. Since then a lot has happened.
One very sad part of my life began to happen one
month after we were married, we found out I was
going to have a baby, we were ecstatic, shortly
afterwards I started getting morning sickness, that
lasted all day long. But we were still happy, we had
even picked out a name if the baby had been a boy we
were going to name him Haven meaning a gift from god.
But two months into the pregnancy I started miscarry,
the doctor told me to go home and keep my feet up.
doing this I thought I would save my baby, but that
didn't happen, instead we lost the baby and I
developed cancer. I am fine now, no more cancer.
But the reason I told you this is because, we have
become foster parents in the last Four years, we have
had over thirty children come through our home. Now
we are in the process of trying to adopt the children
we have now. James and Danielle, We love them so
much, it actually hurts to think they may not become
part of our family. James has been with us since he
was 5 days old, that was on June 11, 1995. He is now
2 years old. Danielle came to us in January of this
year. She is also 2 years old. The procedure to
adopt is very long and it will be a while before we
actually know if we can adopt them both. So please
wish us luck.
