\u201c<\/span>METRO<\/span>M\u00e1s de tres a\u00f1os antes<\/span> Si\u00f3n<\/span> do<\/span>Crist\u00f3bal<\/span> naci\u00f3, tuve un sue\u00f1o recurrente de que alguien nos confiar\u00eda a su beb\u00e9\u201d. <\/span>S<\/span>Halonda<\/span>, a<\/span>un padre adoptivo con<\/span> Luci\u00e9rnaga<\/span> dicho<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/span>Halonda<\/span> y J<\/span>a<\/span>mes<\/span> Hemos estado casados durante 25 a\u00f1os y <\/span>He criado a 6 hijos<\/span> juntos<\/span>.<\/span> Cuatro de los<\/span>osa<\/span> ni\u00f1os <\/span>ser<\/span> biol\u00f3gicas, y sus dos hijos m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os <\/span>uni\u00f3n<\/span> la familia a trav\u00e9s del cuidado de parentesco.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuidado de familiares <\/span><\/b>implica colocar a un ni\u00f1o con un pariente, como un abuelo, una t\u00eda, un t\u00edo u otro miembro de la familia, cuando los padres biol\u00f3gicos del ni\u00f1o no pueden brindarle el cuidado adecuado.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mientras celebran su <\/span>hito<\/span> En su aniversario de este a\u00f1o, la pareja reflexiona sobre los \u00faltimos cinco a\u00f1os y el camino que han recorrido para adoptar formalmente a sus hijos.<\/span> Si\u00f3n<\/span> Crist\u00f3bal<\/span> y Desi<\/span>rae.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuando ellos <\/span>primero <\/span>Recibi\u00f3 una llamada del Departamento de Servicios para Ni\u00f1os (DCS), ellos <\/span>r\u00e1pidamente <\/span>acordaron garantizar <\/span>los hermanos <\/span>o<\/span>Podr\u00edamos permanecer juntos. Para <\/span>S<\/span>Halonda<\/span>, lo sinti\u00f3 como un paso hacia el cumplimiento de sus sue\u00f1os anteriores, a pesar de comprender los diversos desaf\u00edos que ten\u00eda por delante.<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNavegar por el cuidado de parentesco, la adopci\u00f3n y el cuidado de crianza ciertamente no es para los d\u00e9biles de coraz\u00f3n.<\/span>,<\/span>\u201c<\/span> Ella dijo.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shalonda comparte un momento con su hija, Desirae (izquierda).<\/span><\/p>\n

A pesar de estas dificultades, la familia reconoce que sus hijos podr\u00edan haber enfrentado un futuro mucho m\u00e1s diferente y m\u00e1s incierto. <\/span>sin intervenci\u00f3n externa<\/span> como ma<\/span><\/span>Mis familiares estaban <\/span>frecuentemente<\/span> involucrado en el sistema penitenciario y luch\u00f3 contra el abuso de sustancias.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sintieron la importancia de romper ese ciclo en su familia.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El proceso requiri\u00f3 esfuerzo constante y perseverancia, pero Shalonda y James notaron que sus hijos mayores hab\u00edan demostrado madurez y sentido de responsabilidad, ofreciendo apoyo y aliento durante todo el camino.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSabes, cuando est\u00e1bamos pensando en tirar la toalla con los ni\u00f1os, nuestros hijos mayores realmente dieron un paso al frente, porque simplemente se encari\u00f1aron con ellos tambi\u00e9n\u201d, dijo.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sus hijos biol\u00f3gicos, que ya han desarrollado fuertes v\u00ednculos con sus hermanos de parentesco y se han adaptado bien a la nueva din\u00e1mica familiar.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cLa resiliencia de nuestra familia proviene de la uni\u00f3n: la fe, el apoyo de la comunidad y un equipo dedicado hicieron posible esta colocaci\u00f3n familiar\u201d, enfatiz\u00f3 Shalonda.<\/span><\/p>\n

En su tiempo libre, a esta familia le gusta relajarse, ver pel\u00edculas y luego comentarlas. Estos momentos sencillos los unen. Visitan el museo infantil, juegan a los bolos, pasan tiempo en familia y van juntos a la iglesia, disfrutando al m\u00e1ximo de todo el tiempo de calidad que pueden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
