His adopted mother couldn't have children because of heart defects. Caleb broke down and cried in front of his teacher at school.

Caleb was adopted at 12. His adoptive parents wanted him to serve a mission or get married in the Temple, but he didn't want to do it. He had to live in their home for 6 months before he could be adopted permanently. There were several fights between him and his adoptive parents.

At the age of 14 Caleb came out to his parents. His parents were Lds.

Caleb was depressed and suicidal when he was 18. His adoptive parents expected him to go on a mission. He did so and did not go to college.

Caleb was sent on a mission to a diverse area. His parents didn't accept his homosexuality at the age of 14. His mother was a narcissist and his father was in the background. He went to the Book of Mormon to find answers.

Caleb was on a mission. He was in Danville, California, which is a rich area. He stayed there for 5 months and came back home in September.

Caleb was adopted when he was 12 years old. When he was on the mission, he got in contact with his biological mother. His adopted mother was very strict about it. His parents threatened him and he lied to keep in touch with her.

Caleb was lied to by his parents after he came back from the mission. He moved in with his twin sister for 4 weeks, but it wasn't enough for him to get on his feet. He lost over $5,000 in the bank account and he was homeless. His adopted parents took his money and left him with $200

Caleb was disowned by his adoptive family. They wanted their last name back. His adoptive mother wrote him an email telling how much of a disgrace he was.

Caleb hopes to adopt children with his husband.

Caleb's parents wanted him to be in sports. He didn't want to be. They also didn't help him financially so he got a job and paid for his own way.

Caleb has contact with his dad, his adopted dad, for about an hour a few weeks. He has no communication with his biological mother. He wants to let his dad in a little bit more, but his adopted mother has hurt him the most.

Caleb understands the work loads of CPS workers but wishes they were more attentive to his needs.

Serenity is glad to see Caleb doing better. Serenity and Caleb will do another interview.
