There is this 15 year old boy that my niece is friends with and has been friends with since they were seven years old. The boy's father is dieing and they only give him 6-9 more months. The mother is not in the picture anywhere(it's for the best) the step-mom is nowhere to be found. They are talking about putting him in foster care, my sister and brother in law are talking about adopting him so that he won't have to go into foster care. I really think it would be a great thing for him. He is a really good kid and he is already working a weekend job at a construction place. He is doing all he can to get by now. So I will be having a new addition to my family in the form of a 15 year old nephew named Nathan.
