CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Julia is 16 and wants a family to call her own before officially becoming an adult.
Julia loves to spend time with friends and loves to shop.
"She is one of those teenagers, she doesn't mind what she buys- if it's a very small thing or the biggest thing- she loves to shop, " her caseworker Melissa Hernandez said.
Whether a single mom or a two-parent household, Julia would love family to spend some time with- something she has never had before.
"She also, she wants to travel," her caseworker Melissa Hernandez said. "We are looking for a family that lives out of state or just a single mom or a mom and dad that love to travel- she would love to do that, she has never had that in her life."
Not only is she described as a spirited child, she loves to go to school and meet new people.
