\"Leyla-family\"By the time Leyla entered the dependency system in October 2012 she had endured so much.\u00a0 She was sad and felt lost. As a result she became completely resistant to idea of being adopted. She didn\u2019t want to be hurt by a family again and planned instead to remain in her foster home placement until she aged out and could simply be on her own.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The Adoptions Team at IMPOWER, however, knew the benefits of finding Leyla a forever family and weren\u2019t going to give up. As part of his role, Adoptions Recruiter, Bill Marallo, routinely reviewed prospective adoptive parents who might be a good match and one day something caught his eye \u2013 Trinia Nicholson – a woman who had just completed an adoptive home study and seeking a child between 2-8yoa.\u00a0 Although her criteria didn\u2019t fit exactly, he felt like they could be a good match and asked her to review Leyla\u2019s information. After doing so, she wanted to meet Leyla. Shortly after, they arranged a meeting and found there was an immediate connection. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the weeks and months that followed, Trina, her son Daunte and Leyla continued to meet and build their relationship. Slowly Leyla began to consider the idea of a \u201cfamily\u201d again. Things weren\u2019t always easy throughout the process. At one point, Trina lost her housing and her car broke down but she remained committed to Leyla and always found a way to continue to see her.\u00a0 By September 2014, Trina was back on her feet in a rental home, and Leyla was formally placed with her – in anticipation of their adoption date on February 3, 2015. In just a few short weeks, Leyla, Trina and Daunte will be surrounded by all those who have been part of their journey to celebrate their new official forever family.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
