SURRY COUNTY, North Carolina (WXII) — The Parigi family has given 4-year-old Jasper his forever home.
“We really wanted to be there and help kids, just to give them a stable home for however long they needed,” Sarah Parigi said.
The little boy is surrounded by love and a forever place to call home. He also gained three older brothers, 14-year-old JP, 11-year-old, Wade and 10-year-old Liam.
“They have learned so much compassion, they’ve been open to any and every child that we’ve brought, and we always include them in the discussion,” Sarah said.
The Parigis recently adopted Jasper after a kinship placement turned into fostering and then guardianship.
“After going through the court system and everything, a lot of it was determined upon the birth parents and set up for reunification. That’s the main goal, but in this circumstance, that wasn’t a viable option,” Sam said.
They knew adoption was the answer.
The Parigis have opened their home for years to children in foster care, and they said they plan to keep loving on them and their biological parents.
“When we first started to get licensed, our thought was they had their kids taken away and they don’t deserve kids, but the more we got into the training, we realized we could relate to the parents and how everybody falls on hard times they go through, and we want to be there and help whoever needed help.”
Children’s Home Society of North Carolina helped the Parigi family throughout the entire process of fostering and adoption. The organization wants to hear from people who can open their home for children in need.
“I highly recommend CHS for anyone thinking about fostering. They have been at every meeting, at every court date and all in between.”
