There’s a 45-year-old elementary school teacher in Phoenix named Jodi Kacz, who spent about 10 years trying to get pregnant in her 20s and 30s.
Then she had to have a tumor removed from her uterus, and got diagnosed with a heart condition a few years back. So it’s just not possible.
But about a year ago, she found out one of her favorite STUDENTS was up for adoption.
His name is Orlando, and he’s 11 years old. He’d been in foster care since he was four. And obviously it’s a lot harder for an 11-year-old to get adopted than a baby. But right when he started thinking it just wouldn’t happen, it DID.
He moved in with Jodi and her husband Scott back in March while they filed the paperwork. And they officially became his parents on November 19th, which happened to be National Adoption Day.
Orlando’s older sister ALSO grew up in foster care . . . and she just got adopted by a family in Phoenix too. (Today)
