Sibling reunification camp for Velez who misses his brothers and sister

Posted Jun 27, 2019
Velez is a fun-loving, affectionate boy who his happy in his adopted home. But he misses his three siblings, two of whom live in a group foster home, and a third who is in a separate foster home. They are spread around the state, and while Velez's mother tries hard to maintain the connection, she is a mother to six other adopted children so a week of Camp to Belong MA with his siblings would be a very special opportunity to strengthen their lifelong connection.

Velez is 14 years old and lives in MA

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!
