Sebastian was lucky enough to spend one month with the Barkey family of California as part of this program. The little boy immediately bonded with the four Barkey children, making the goodbye extra sad. 

However, what Sebastian did not know is that the Barkey family had fallen in love with him and were working hard to make him a part of their family on a permanent basis. Amanda and JoBen Barkey set the wheels in motion in the adoption process so that they could bring Sebastian back home where he belonged.

Before the Barkey's told Sebastian, they let their own kids in on the secret. The children were obviously excited that they would be getting a new brother. In this sweet video, the Barkey's reveal to Sebastian through a video chat that he can now be a part of their family forever if he wishes.
