Liv from Pennsylvania

Focus, ambition, and determination! Who does that describe? Liv, of course. Talk to her, and she'll tell you about her plans for the future. She knows exactly what direction she'll be going in life. Liv has graduated from high school in 2026, and a trade school is next on the horizon. Liv has studied welding in the past; now she's thinking of making it her future. Did you know there is a lot of money to be made in welding? Plus, there's the option of travel. Liv isn't holding anything back; she's ready to move forward! "In my free time, I enjoy a tasty cup of hazelnut cold brew with perhaps a pumpkin doughnut if it is Fall. Would you like to meet at Dunkin's and discuss politics with me? Be prepared for straightforwardness about any topic. I like playing sports too, football, wrestling, and track, for instance. It'd be great to be cheered on by my forever family. Being outdoors and participating in outdoor activities are enjoyable and relaxing for me. I'll hunt, hike, fish, and/or camp. My indoor pastimes include cooking, painting, perhaps atmospheric pictures, and building silhouettes. Do you eat mountain pies? You need to try them and all my cookies." Liv would like to spend time with her permanent family as well as with friends. She'd have them participate in community events, give guidance about transitioning to adulthood, and try new things. She is searching for a supportive family who likes to be active. Other children in the family would be okay as long as she gets some time with her parents. Older children could be helpful by being role models and "friends." She is flexible about the makeup of a potential family. Parental rights have been terminated for Liv.
