My name is Olivia Villarreal, I am the first person you see when you walk through the Dream Center door. I was in the foster care system for about eight years. When I turned twelve I moved in with a foster family, the Villarreal's - right away there was a bound. The Villarreal family made my little sister and I feel right at home. We were part of the family, four long years later the Villarreal's adopted my little sister and I on August 25, 2006. I couldn't be happier, I am now 20 years old with a great job and going to school. I found my support system and I know they will not let me fall!
