Their journey hasn’t been without challenges. Yonatan worked hard to adjust to a new life in a new country, while Valerie learned firsthand the ups and downs of motherhood. But through love, patience, and resilience, their bond is stronger than ever.

For years, Yonatan had been waiting and hoping for a family of his own until he met Valerie Goldstein.
The connection was instant. Valerie knew in her heart that she had found her son, and Yonatan felt he had found his mom.

KIDSAVE MYTH BUST: People aren’t perfect—and foster parents don’t need to be either. You don’t need years of parenting experience to make a difference. What matters most is your willingness to learn, grow, and provide stability.
