In 2003, the young boy and his sisters needed foster care left behind by their parents who were both addicted to drugs. A local news station stepped in to help the trio find a forever home by featuring them on a broadcast segment.
Soon they were all adopted by the same family, but diaz’s new parents didn’t keep him for long. Instead, they felt that diaz had issues with anger, so they kept his siblings and brought him back from there. He re-entered the system shuttling through group homes and foster parents eventually going matched him with another family. Who would take him long term, but diaz’s new family didn’t stick around for long either. They too said the boy had struggled to control his anger, a fact that he recognized i was just so mad, because i thought that they weren’t going to keep me.
I was just trying to test them. He went on to say that he had lashed out as a way to test his adoptive parents, but this didn’t work and diaz knew when he reflected back. It was always somewhat my fault yeah, but i didn’t notice. I didn’t realize that you know when i was growing up going of course understood the boy’s actions. His years of neglect had left him emotionally scarred.
The social worker said when you feel you’re, not lovable and you’re up against. You know someone’s loving you, that’s a pretty scary thing, no matter how deeply she understood, diaz’s behavior the fact remained that he was once again back in her office in need of a foster or forever family. This time, though, going gave up on the search, it wasn’t because the social worker felt as though she could no longer help him. Instead, she found herself feeling horribly for diaz, her stomach ached, as she imagined his situation and his state of mind. All i could think about was how he was feeling and how he was blaming himself again.
That emotion led her to stop having diaz as her client, because she had come up with an even better solution for them. Both going could no longer be diaz’s social worker because she could do so much more as his parent after searching far and wide for the right person to fill that role. She realized that was me ten years after entering the system with his siblings diaz. Finally, had his forever home going and her two biological daughters welcomed him right into the fold at first, though his old habits reared their head. Fortunately, going knew what to expect.
