With reunification with his mother no longer possible, we explored the remaining long term options. His father was not in the picture. He had a great grandfather living further north in California, but he was too elderly to provide the needed care. He also had a grandmother in Washington state who was very interested in his well-being and had kept in constant contact. Moving in with her seemed like the best option, but this boy chose instead to stay with me. He claimed that this was because he didn’t want to leave his school and friends. So, I became his legal guardian and he lived with me until he was 19 years old.
I rented for his 13th birthday.
