A boy named Samuel expressed having had enough of foster care after enduring three years in state care in Texas. After seeing his twelfth birthday come and go without a family of his own, he has one wish that surpasses all others: to find a “forever family” to call his own.

“I’m tired of CPS [Child Protection Services],” Samuel told KWTX in October, 2019. “Well, I’m tired of being in it, but I’m not tired of the people.”
