After changing homes 16 times in the last several years, the kids were running out of options when they met Darryl Anderson.

After being bounced around 16 times the kids were running out of options. That’s when they met Darryl Anderson.

The main job and role of any parent is to provide a safe and loving home for a kid to grow and blossom within. So it’s heartbreaking to imagine that there are some children who don’t get to experience this because of their parents, growing up in foster care, or other struggles.

Meet three siblings

Four-year-old Miquel, six-year-old Willis, and 9-year-old Nevaeh are all very familiar with foster care.

The three siblings spent much of their childhood in the care of the state. But everything changed when a single dad came to their rescue.

A single dad

Darryl Andersen of Vernal, Utah, gave the sweet siblings a forever home.

It’s the touching story of a single dad stepping in to prove that with a little bit of love, anything is possible.

They haven’t had it easy

All in all, the three siblings have had a rough start in life.

They entered foster care back in 2016, and since then, it’s been a nightmare trying to find a good household to take them in.

In need of a stable environment

Everyone knows that kids need stability, however, for these youngsters, it’s been an endless cycle of constant change.

Andersen explained to reporters from KSL News that it was simply one house after another.

“They’re very close, and understand, you know, they’ve been placed 16 times and in group homes and so all they had was each other,” said Andersen.

Searching for a home

Between all of the foster homes and group homes, the kids changed living situations sixteen different times over the course of the five years that they had been floating through the system.

Andersen couldn’t believe it.

As a single dad with three kids of his own already, it was hard to stomach the thought.

The idea of Miquel, Willis, and Navaeh spending Thanksgiving, Christmas, and really, their entire lives without a stable living situation was too much for him to bear.

Andersen started thinking about adoption.

With so many years of experience being a father under his belt already, he knew he could do it.

Then, with the blessing of his own children, he decided to move forward with the process.

“There are kids out there in this world who don’t have a place to call home. When Christmas comes, where do they go?” he asked.
