Our Reality

Once upon a time... There was a mom and a dad who had two big kids. But this mom and dad really, really, really wanted another little boy. This mom and dad looked, and looked, and looked for their little boy. They knew they would know him as soon as they found him, but they couldn't find him anywhere!

One day, they saw a picture of a little boy named Kaden. They just KNEW this was their little boy. But they had to wait and wait and wait before they finally got to meet him. As soon as they saw him for the first time, they were absolutely sure that this little boy was the son they had been looking for.

They took him home and promised to love him forever and ever. They would love him when he made good choices. They would love him when he made bad choices. They would love him for EVER. And Kaden would never have to leave their family again.

This is our story. Kaden has heard it repeatedly. He heard it today when the tears were flowing because he had gotten in trouble... and life is never fair when you're a kid. Our normal is a constant reminder that this isn't another foster home that he'll have to leave. It's forever and ever. (He currently says he's going to live here until he dies. And if he gets married... well, his wife can just move in, too.)
