Teenage Boy Interrupts The Judge During An Adoption Process And Revealed What Kind Of People His Foster Parents Were

Against The Plan

If they were going through with this plan, it was going to be quite the change. If they were going to take the ten-year-old Dayshawn into their home, it was going to go against all of Cozad’s plan. She and her man had both agree that they would take in only kids and toddlers. The foster mom is just 13 years older than Dayshawn which meant he was a little old.

He Was Old

Since they had always wanted to take in just toddlers and infants, they did not have a clue what it would be like if Dayshawn were to be fostered too. They had only been willing to foster babies so this would go against their preference and whatever they had experienced. And soon, the 26-year-old started to speak to the teenager which made it a little easier.

The Obstacles

Since she felt unequipped to handle an older child, Cozad was not willing to take in kids that were Dayshawn’s age. But at the same time, she saw that he and his brother needed to stay together. This was not the only fear that the foster mom had to overcome. Cozad and her husband were also taking care of some other children so this could add to their burden.

What Was The Goal?

And since they were always eager to help out, the young couple were always looking after kids. And till date, this couple has taken in 14 children for various amounts of time. They really wanted to help kids in need so they had never stopped after they initially started. There was a goal that this couple had. It was to be able to assist their kids to get in touch or reunite with their birth parents.

Over His Age

After fighting with herself trying to decide what she wanted to do, Cozad could then come with a final decision. She wrote how she felt that time on Love What Matters, “We advocate for reunification whenever it’s possible. The best part about fostering is seeing parents work tremendously hard to get their children back.” Reuniting the boys felt more important than Dayshawn’s age.

An Exception

Since they saw first hand that the two boys were ecstatic upon meeting each other once again, it would be a sin to separate them once more. When it came down to Michael and Dayshawn, the couple was willing to make an exception. They only wanted to keep the brothers happy so they worked towards giving them both reunification and adoption.
