A Dinner Celebration for Anthony who will soon be adopted

Posted May 31, 2017
When Anthony was placed in this home he struggled in school and home with his behaviors and it took him awhile to adjust to having many siblings. His foster mom has been committed to him from day 1. She helped him adjust to his settings and learn how to control his behaviors. It has been a journey for the family, but his foster mom reassured Anthony each step of the process that he is going to be adopted. Naturally he has had anxiety because of the last failed adoption. He recently shared that he is finally ready to have a forever home. He has asked to unofficially use the foster parents last name, and is beyond thrilled to make it official here in a few short weeks. His journey to a forever home has had many bumps in the road but he is almost there! We would love to provide a gift card so that he can celebrate with a dinner once the adoption is final.

Anthony is 9 years old and lives in OH

Anthony is our most recent foster youth to find hope. He came into this home because of a previously failed adoption. Due to this he had lots of anxiety and difficult behaviors. His foster mom stuck with him the whole time. Slowly he came around and adjusted to his many siblings and improved his behaviors. His foster mom has given him every opportunity to be a kid. Anthony enjoys basketball, baseball and swimming. His caseworker is encouraged by his more positive attitude towards school and life in general as his adoption nears. Being in foster care has been hard for Anthony, but soon he will have his forever family.
