Rolling With It

It would definitely be weird for someone to immediately confide in you that she wants to become a foster mom the first time you meet. But her husband was the kind of guy who was actually impressed by this, someone who did not have a problem with it. “I was impressed with how [Shank] rolled with it,” Cozad revealed in an interview she gave on September 2018.

Happy With Them

Since the couple was adamant on adopting him and his brother together, it was clear for him that they loved them dearly. He saw the struggle they had to face in order for all to stay together, so Dayshawn was incredibly grateful and glad to be their son. The teenager continued, “If I could wish for anything in the world, I would wish I could just love these people for the rest of my life.”

The Special Training

Cozad then took to ‘Love What Matters’ to express how she felt. The specialized training is an attempt to make the foster mom be well equipped to handle teenagers in however way she can. They were already living like a family before the adoption day, and now they were legally a family. Image result for holding hands lovers

All That Ends

And Cozad and Shank were completely happy to live their lives this way. They could not see their life leading any other direction other than how they were spending it now. “No child should feel grateful to have a family love them,” Cozad added, “It should be a given.” Even for the two brothers, this was a blessing. Dayshawn’s wish has come true and now they all live happily under one roof.
