School nurse Matt Galantowicz is having a perfect day. “My kids came to visit me at work,” Galantowicz tells TODAY.com, his voice oozing with pride. “They came running in yelling, ‘Daddy!’” Being a parent still feels surreal. Galantowicz, 49, his husband, Keith, 47, spent years trying to adopt a child. There were countless rejections for seemingly no reason. They would get their hopes up about a match only to be ghosted. It’s a process that Galantowicz describes as heartbreaking.
' Galantowicz recalls going through boxes shipped from Texas that were packed with broken toys and stained clothing. “That was all they had,” he says, softly. In Buffalo, each child has a room of their own with a theme that fits their personality . The siblings also have plenty of new clothes thanks to the generosity of their community. The Galantowiczs set up a GoFundMe to help with education expenses and extracurriculars.
