The Worley family: from the hospital to forever

Mr. and Mrs. Worley’s adoption journey began with foster care as relative caregivers. In 2017, they picked up their nephew Leon from the hospital shortly after he was born.

The family bonded quickly with Leon, and Mr. and Mrs. Worley’s three daughters fell in love with him. What started as stepping up for family became a forever adoption.
