Antonio, 17 years old, NJ

After the loss of their mother a few years ago, Tony and his siblings faced a significant upheaval in their lives. Their father found it challenging to cope as a single dad, which ultimately resulted in their removal from his care. Fortunately, they were placed with their maternal grandmother, who has been a steady source of support. Now, they are looking forward to a brighter future, as plans are in place for their adoption this fall.
