Chapter 26

“You’re so awesome. Thank you.” Kenji leaned over and kissed James.

Mr. Michaelson said, “That settles that issue. We are so short of foster families in this county, and that’s what we’d set you up as to start an emergency foster home. Then we can evaluate you and move forward with adoption. There are classes you must attend and set a plan for child care and so on.”

James whispered to Kenji, “If you want, quit your job and be a stay-at-home mom. I make plenty of money. You and Sterick can move in with me, and you rent your place.”

“James, James, James, you are so wonderful. Have you thought about that, though?”

“Yes. For a while. And it was time to tell you. I’m sure.”

“We’ll have a good life with Sterick.”

“Yes, we will.”
