Jeff has been in state custody for years, and his parents relinquished their rights. As he found himself aging out of the system with no natural support, he has been living with his current foster family, which has welcomed him as a son and brother. He is the oldest of four children, with three being biological, and he is the newest addition to this family. This family has been the longest one to accept Jeff into their home, and he has developed a sense of family with them.
