Does anyone know the name of the 20 year old who inherited some orphaned kids, I believe it was in a.....?

Question

in a magazine from this month. People or someother magazine, and could have been this month or June. Was starting to read the store while waiting at car dealership but did not get to finish.

Answer 1

Try doing an Internet search, type in "20 year old inherits kids" or something to that effect, try typing different things until you find it.  I hate when that happens, when you don't get to finish the story you are reading before your name is called!

Answer 2

I think you are referring to Joseph Democko.  There is an article about him in the current People Magazine.

He is the biological uncle to three boys but after fostering them for some time, beginning at age 20, he has now adopted his nephews.

You can read more about him here:

Is that him?  His story moved me to tears.  He is such an inspiration.

Answer 3

"Some orphaned kids"?    Please.

Looks like we need a refresher lesson in positive adoption langauge!

POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE

We often talk about adoption using negative terms without even realizing it. Using Positive Adoption Language (PAL) can be much more sensitive to those involved in adoption.
