Velez was separated from his siblings and stayed at dozens of homes until he finally came to stay with us. Once he came here, which was also supposed to be temporary for the weekend, we told him this would be his last stop until he was reunited with Mom. Well, he now calls me MaMa and my Husband PaPa. He is now adopted, and makes our house complete. While he has six other adopted siblings, he remains separated from his three biological siblings who remain in group foster homes. The picture of Velez was taken on his "gotcha day" (adoption day). He is a very happy child but misses his biological siblings!
