My name is Julia and I am trying to adopt my son. This amazing little boy has been in my life and I have been raising him for 3 years. Decklyn is 8 years old and came into my life while I was dating and engaged to his father, who is unfortunately passed away in June. Decklyn's birth mother is also not longer with us, she died in 2021.
I truly believe that Decklyn and I were placed in each others lives for a reason. Decklyn needs me as much as I need him. He calls me mom and I think of him just like my own. I have 2 other children who also think of Decklyn as their brother.
Decklyn's maternal grandparents are now attempting to take custody of him and take him away from the family that he loves and has known since he was 5 years old. His family sees and talks to him as much as they like and I would never dream of keeping his family from him. I have been on good terms with them since I've been in his life. Now unfortunately I have to fight to keep him.
Decklyn is my son and I only want what is best for him. He should not have to lose another parent. I truly believe this is the best thing for him, to stay with me. I just need help to go through the courts and the adoption process. Thank you for reading out story and for any support you can help with.
