My name is Teresa Cordova. I'm a wife, mother, grandmother, and a friend. I am also a hard worker and dependable. My favorite pass times are camping, playing games with family and friends. I like music and movies. We have a 12 year old foster daughter who is amazing and smart and knows she is loved. My 16 year old son is the last of the kids still at home. He maintains an A-B average and has his life plans already building for his future. Thank you for your time and consideration.
