For the first time ever, Chris Barrington, a 30-year-old man with special needs, got to celebrate his birthday with a party -- thanks to his former teacher who hopes to adopt him.When officers asked, they said Barrington couldn't remember the name of anyone who could help him -- except his junior high school teacher, Michell Girard, who he hadn't seen in years.“I said, 'What happens if I don't take him? Will he get in a group home?'" Girard told CBS affiliate KWTX.
For Barrington's birthday, Girard contacted local fishing captain Jimmy Bennett, the owner of JMB Fishing Foundation, which helps people with special needs. They organized a party that included a fishing trip on Lake Waco -- another first for Barrington, who had never been on a boat before. While out on the boat, Bennett said that Barrington seemed nervous at first and"didn't want to go very fast." But that soon changed.
