Back 2 My Boys: Your Dad, Adam Cobuluis

Reentry Reframed

Facing nearly 20 years in prison, Adam received news his two young boys would be in state custody under the supervision of KVC. Instead of losing hope, Adam knew he would one day be reunited with his boys. With steadfast determination, Adam began the process of reunification from foster care with his children after the case was dismissed. Fresh out of jail, Adam credits the Oxford House, the foster mother of his children, his employment, and local resource networks for supporting him along the way. In this episode, Adam describes the process of navigating the foster care system all while trying to hit the ground running with his own reentry journey. When asked what makes a “good dad,” Adam pulls much of how he parents based on the what he missed during his own childhood, and instead, “putting his children first.” Recently, Adam was our guest speaker at the Mirror Work for Success graduation for class #55. Reflecting on his own time going through the Work for Success program, the graduating class listened with the utmost respect for this man who faced insurmountable odds to get back to his boys. Adam’s story is one of determination, love, and the power of second chances. We wish you and your boys all the happiness this world has to offer!
