Accidental father takes care of nephew, niece

Former foster child steps in to 'give them a stable home'

((Excerpt))

TROTWOOD, Ohio — Growing up, Adrian McLemore was a troubled little soul who spent much of his time exploding in confusion and rage.

At 6, he nearly set the house on fire.

At 7, his mother — raising him and his two sisters alone in Georgia — told social workers to place him in a foster home.

McLemore would spend a total of 11 years in foster care and he would learn many things — how to control his anger, how to channel it into programs that helped children like himself, how to survive in homes where families had completely different rules and expectations.
