There are many kids in this cold and rough world that haven’t unfortunately known the love and warmth of a real home. There are so many children that just jump from one temporary home to another in search of their own “perfect” family.
Based on ifoster there is more than 424,000 foster youth nationwide, making the demand for good home placements quite high!
Our story today is about three amazing kids and their journey to find their “forever” family. Meet siblings Miquel, 4, Willis, 6, and Navaeh, 9. This adorable trio had to spend most of their lives going from one foster home to another until they found their way to their new dad!
The kids had to change around 16 foster homes in a period of 5 years since they had initially entered the system back in 2016. They were looking for some kind of stability and an illusion of a family home that could provide them with the basics, basically what the majority of the kids in the world have for granted.
However, they had to spend nearly 5 years together, traveling from one home to another until Darryl Andersen stepped in and saved the day! Darryl from Vernal, Utah, was a single dad himself, having three kids of his own when he learned about the three siblings.
“There are kids out there in this world who don’t have a place to call home. When Christmas comes, where do they go?” Andersen explained.
Their heartfelt story moved Darryl who as a father himself understood the importance of a family and of a stable home for the young children, and immediately decided to act.
So, after considering all the logistics himself and having a very serious conversation with his own three kids, decided to meet the youngsters and offer them a permanent home. The adoption process started and Darryl was thrilled!
“One of my main motivations is, I feel, like the saying says, because I haven’t been given much, I too must give,” he said.
Now the three siblings are free to enjoy their carefree years like most of their peers, having a loving home and family to return to! Darryl is eager to offer to his “children” every opportunity, teach them that there is a whole world out there waiting for them!
The three siblings have since then fully adapted to their new life and they absolutely adore their new dad.
“We all love you more than the earth,” Miquel, Willis, and Navaeh told Andersen. “It’s because you’re a good dad. We love you so much”.
It’s so amazing to hear these kind of words from your own kids, especially when it’s still the beginning of your relationship with them. It’s every parent’s dream to hear that he/ she is doing a good job.
Let’s wish all the best to the three little cuties and their new family, and hope that only a bright and happy future awaits them!
