In a twist of fate, Zander came back into our lives. He was blessed to be adopted by a very loving family, but when their family circumstances changed, they made the very selfless decision to surrender him. This time when he was back in our care, we decided we did not want to say goodbye and decided to officially adopt him. We absolutely fell in love with him when we first fostered him, but it was just a few weeks after Jackie's passing and it felt too soon to adopt again. A few months later, when our hearts were more healed, and when he came back into our lives again, we knew it was meant to be that he would be ours forever. After a lot of debate, we chose to change his name if he did not seem too confused. After about a day, he was already responding to "Gino", our little bambino. After taking some time to get Gino reacclimated to our home, our goal is that he will help us in this new chapter of our lives, helping more four legged fosters get to their forever homes. |
