Meet Sergio... . #Repost @massadopt --- I met Sergio and his foster family at a park in Central Massachusetts on a hot May afternoon. Shy at first, he didnโt talk much when I greeted him, but he met my fist bump with a good-natured smile. Maytee, Sergioโs foster mom, left us to wander the park and find a good spot for some photos. โDo you have any favorite areas in the park? I know you live nearbyโ, I asked Sergio as we moved away from the crowded playground into the open grass. โUh, not really,โ he brushed past my question and pointed and said, โbut imagine if I climbed up there and you took my picturesโ. Sergio had pointed at the roof of the parkโs bathhouse and even jumped up to see if he could grab a ledge. While the bathhouse roof was out of reach (and perhaps slightly out of my comfort zone), Sergio did find the perfect spot to take his photos- balanced on the fencing that bordered the brook that runs through the park. To ease my fears of him tipping off the edge, Sergio said, โDonโt worry. I have a really good grip.โ After just a few minutes of coaxing, Sergio had completely come out of his shell and revealed his funny, confident, and adventurous personality. Our session was a breeze; he said knew his angles thanks to years of taking thumbnail photos for his YouTube channel and he was right. His smile was frequent and easy to capture while he told me about the different โrelatable memesโ he had been working on. Sergio is a tech-savvy kid and probably could teach me a thing or two about Photoshop. After our session, we met back up with his foster family, and there was another round of fist-bumps for everyone. With promises to like and subscribe, we parted ways. Sergio is an amazing kid. Iโm so thankful for the time I got to spend with him, and for the small part I got to play in helping him find his forever home. #fostercareadoption #adoptfromfostercare #childadoption #adopt #adoption #Boston #Massachusetts https://www.instagram.com/p/CfpcyyVsSpL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
