Meet Morina, a kind, outdoorsy teenager who finds importance in being together with those she loves.

Morina finds peace in the great outdoors and enjoys fishing and watching for different wildlife. She particularly enjoys finding lizards and watching them go about their day. Morina dreams of a forever family that lives in a neighborhood that has a park or even access to a pond where she can spend her days.

Morina also loves arts and crafts and likes to bond with friends and others through creation. Mornia is very sentimental and likes to keep all the things others have made for her and highly values these relationships and bonds.

Morina would like a close-knit family and would like to be an older sister. She is a great role model for others and thrives when put in that role. She enjoys going to church and wants a family that likes to celebrate holidays and birthdays as much as she does!

Morina hopes to find a family that will love her and appreciate her loving and giving nature.
