The Perfect Fit
Aiden had stayed at two other foster homes and never really felt much of a connection with the families. After getting to know his third foster family, he knew things would be different this time.
“It was something about them, it just clicked,” Aiden said. “It was really easy to get along with everybody.”
Until he was 11 years old, Aiden had only ever lived with his mom. Suddenly living with seven other people – five brothers and two parents – at his new foster home took some getting used to, but the family made it easier for him.
“They really tried to get to know me and be a real family with me,” Aiden said.
And now, that home will become his ‘forever home.’ Aiden is the fourth foster child this family will adopt.
“We just knew from early on that they were a fit for our family,” said Ron, Aiden’s foster caregiver and soon-to-be adoptive father.
“It means a lot to me that they’re going to adopt me because I don’t know what I would do if I had to stay in the foster care system any longer,” Aiden said. “It’s just been hard.”
