They were given two days to pack up the child's life
Since his infancy, a little boy named Milán had been lovingly raised in a foster home in Hajdú-Bihar county. But then, shortly before Christmas and his fourth birthday, everything changed when the authorities decided to transfer him to another foster home.
It is the foster parents' role to provide a family to the child entrusted to them until the question of said child's future is finally resolved. In some cases, however, the bond between the two becomes so strong that they end up wanting to be the adoptive parents themselves. This is just what happened to Mr. and Mrs. Balog of Balmazújváros and 4-year-old Milán, who had lived with them since he was a baby. The child welfare agency, on the other hand, decided to look for adopters elsewhere. Following an awkward meeting between the foster parents, Milán, and a couple considering adoption, the agency decided to intervene – immediately. Without taking any preparatory measures, authorities transferred Milán to his new foster family in mid-December. The Balogs then drove him a hundred kilometers to an unfamiliar place and said their goodbyes – but Milán couldn't grasp why he wasn't allowed to go home. Now the Balogs are doing everything in their power to reunite with the boy.
