In this episode of “theServiceStation,” a Riverside man reveals how his dream of having a family of his own came true. Oscar Lozano, 35, became a dad for the first time when he adopted a second cousin he named Ava, now 19 months. Lozano shares how he had been thinking about fostering or adopting for a while when a relative asked for his help in late Dec. 2019.
This episode also features a second guest, Ida Roath, who highlights Riverside County’s Heart Gallery, an exhibit created to find forever homes for children in foster care.
