One Simple Wish

Paul, 20 years old, NY

Paul recently was placed in his current group home. He’s trying to fit in and get use to being around the other boys. He was previously in a foster home, so this group setting is all very new to him. Because of Paul’s past, he struggles with celebrations and receiving gifts. He’s also very sensitive to how others treat him and approach him. Paul often talks about never wanting a family, but he also talks about having a son one day. Paul often reverts into his own mind, but when he’s approached and a conversation is started he will engage. With more time, Paul will open to up to his foster brothers.
