Meet Connecticut Adoptive Parents Wilson and Eugene

Wilson and Eugene opened their Connecticut home to children in foster care. On National Adoption Day in 2003, the loving couple adopted James, their longtime foster child who was then 9 years old. Because the boy has special behavioral needs, the family actively receives post-permanency services from Casey Family Services’ Hartford Division. In addition to James, the family has adopted a second foster child, who currently is age 12.

Wilson, who, like James, is Puerto Rican, works as an administrator for the a large Connecticut city. Eugene works for a major medical center in New York City.
