Buzeks

Jessica Lynn, 2, in her bedroom.

Now that I'm done with my internship at the sun-sentinel, I'm going to be playing catch-up with all the photos I've been wanting to post and haven't gotten around to. After driving north 150 miles, I finally reached Juliete Buzek's house. Juliete and her husband Jason were foster parents to Katrina Marie, 3, and Jessica Lynn, 2, and recently adopted them along with another son, Jose, 11 months. The Buzeks are an example of what the new campaign encouraging Hispanic foster parents to consider adopting their children.


It was especially cool to have the opportunity to hang out with this family because there were so many of them. In addition to the three recently adopted kids, Juliette already had three kids of her own from a previous marriage. She was this wonderful free spirit kind of lady that made it easy for me to blend into the background and just watch. The house was warm and the scents of home cooking and the buzz of affection. I wish time and logistics allowed me to stay longer.
