The family sought out YGB after providing temporary kinship care to a sibling group. The experience opened their hearts to the possibility of expanding their family through adoption. After completing YGB Parent training classes, YGB staff matched them with two brothers in need of a loving home.

Through YGB classes, they learned about adoption, trauma-informed parenting, and what was expected of an unconditional lifetime family. But more than that, they found a community of people who understood them. They continue to connect with other YGB families through family nights and parent support groups.

Natasha and Sheldon are grateful for the love and support they have received from YGB and the community of parents and former foster youth they have met.
