State child-welfare authorities took away Nadine Diaz’s twins Molli and Joel six weeks after they were born. She had been using drugs and had severe post-partem depression; it was hard to stay on a path to recovery with little support at home.
That’s when she turned to ‘r kids Family Center, a small adoption and reconnection agency that does huge things in the lives of struggling families. Diaz got her kids back in April.
Monday afternoon Diaz and other families celebrated the organization’s tenth year with a block party outside ‘4 kids’ home at 45 Dixwell Ave.. The party featured popcorn, ices, hugs, music, and stories about treating people even in the most dire straights with respect and dignity.
