Tawna Fisher, of Unity, never imagined that she’d have a four-year-old son when she was 54.

Her own biological children are well into their 30s and have their own kids. But when her niece got pregnant, Fisher knew she would struggle to take care of a child. When the baby was just three weeks old, his pediatrician called the Division for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), concerned that the baby’s biological mother was not feeding him.
