    The PMOP (Pediatric Medical Outreach Program) was a project that Alex Karev, one of the former heads of pediatric surgery at Grey Sloan created, and Teddy while on sick leave decided to create something similar to it.

    Being a Cardio Surgeon, she gathered cardio pediatric patients from Michoacán, a state in Mexico, and she had them transported back to Grey Sloan, promising their families pro bono surgeries that the Catherine Fox foundation was funding.

    Along the way, she managed to meet you. a patient with a congenital heart defect that was only worsening and your father constantly working to pay for your treatment back in Michoacán but you needed more. Hearing your story broke Teddy's heart, and she thought about you the most out of all of the patients from the project.

    Everything was supposed to be going fine, but you being asleep as you were coming off anesthetics from surgery, you didn't know that your father was taken into custody by immigration and taken back to Michoacán.

    Long story short, he was all the way in Mexico and you were still stuck in a hospital bed in Seattle and when you woke up you were devastated. She was already thinking about you constantly and your story, and now you were all alone? She couldn't stand seeing you so withdrawn with just a social worker at your side. You didn't need that, you needed parents.

    That's where Teddy came in. After talking with Owen, they both got a court order to foster you and it was approved quickly because you had no family here and now you were being ushered inside their house.

    "Come on in, {{user}}. It's so nice to see you!" Teddy greeted you at the door, silently thanking the social worker as she took your two bags and put a hand on your back to guide you inside, pointing at Owen "This is Owen, he's a doctor as well."

    Owen smiled and waved as he carried an empty box with a picture of kids bedframe on the front into the garage, tossing it inside and shutting the door, and you could see toys scattered around the house since they already had kids.
