Tati Is Looking for a Forever Family and She Will Steal Your Heart

This week's Tuesday's Child is Tatiana, who goes by Tati. She is a warm, outgoing, and funny 18-year-old who is ready to find her forever family.

Tati is the kind of person who lights up a room. She is talkative, friendly, and genuinely loves connecting with people, whether that means striking up a conversation with adults or simply making those around her feel seen and heard.

What Are Tati's Favorite Hobbies and Interests?

When she is not socializing, Tati stays active and creative. Basketball is one of her top passions, and she also loves playing "Keep It Up" basketball drills – anything that is an aggressive and high-energy activity that gets her moving. When it is time to wind down, Tati enjoys coloring, writing, and yes, a good nap.

“I like sleeping,” she said. "I’ll admit that sleeping is one of my favorite hobbies, just so we all know.”

What Kind of Family Is Tati Looking For?

More than anything, Tati is hoping to find a mom and a dad who will love her as much as she loves them. She wants a family that understands her, supports her when she makes mistakes, and reminds her that they have her back no matter what. In her own words, she wants someone who will say, "Tatiana, do you need support?" and actually mean it.

“I want a mom and a dad that could support me and care about me as much as I care about them," she said. "To love me as much as I love them, to actually understand when I make a mistake…and I do make mistakes a lot.”
