Mothers Day is around the corner I want to take the time to recognize my mother
Danyeal Dean Grays
story: I was a foster youth in the system (DFPS) because of child abuse and I was bouncing schools and group homes and you no the stories. One day my Social Worker mentions adoption and I ask about it. She was explain to me what it was and what will it take for me to become a adopted child. So me and her (DFPS Social Worker) agreed that there was going to be an adoption in the works.That was in 2016 I remembered wishing and hoping that someday it will happened. Fast forward to I think the beginning of 2019 and I just tuned 18. Something had happens in the group home so they were to look for an emergency placement (group home) So one day they found a emergency placement and it happens to be my mom at the time she was one of the group home Co-owners. I Had a feeling That I never felt before because back then I didn’t care to much for ppl. But I was still skeptical so I signed paper stating that I was going to moved to her group home and soon as we got to the last paper they told
Me I had to wait 2 week I was REALLY UPSET I cried and made a whole scene and everything,
it was dramatic. I guess I cried more so because I wanted to leave. A lot of things was happening in the last placement (group home). So I kept talking to myself wondering was she going to be nice? who is she? why is she talking to me all friendly and nice?. I remembered her smile and the way she spoke I was trying to figure her out so you know I went in there and tried to google her 😂 😆 😂 . So beside from that I stayed in her group home after 2 weak of waiting .
One thing that was so different she gave me her number now!!! All it took me to gain her trust was a phone number? Yes!!. So my so my Social Worker was trying to establish documents and paperwork and trying to tell her what I was all about I immediately tried to clear my name And explain. So my mom gave me the chance. Now I was stumbling and heavy breathing and carrying on ..I almost had a heart attack because I never had the chance to really explain what happened And plus it was on the spot. Everyday she will come in and visit me and we talked a lot we learned each other in then I met her family and all these things started happening. The adoption came back up in the picture I was surprised I didn’t think this was going to happened and like I said the last I heard adoption was in 2016. So we agreed that I was going to be adopted and later My mom and dad adopted me. I want to say happy Mother’s Day Mom, thank you for taking me in when I had nobody thank you for listening to my concerns and vents which I also apologize for thank you for putting up with me and loving me there was time I had to leave but you bring me back in. I say the most important thing you taught me is
-JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN SAY AND DO SOMETHING TO HURT OTHER PPL DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD-

So guys Mother’s Day is around the corner I want challenge you guys to let your mother’s know why you are thankful for them
And for those who are going to wonder

My adoption was August 20, 2019
