Juárez lived with her until he was six, but needed to find a permanent home.According to The Facebook post- Zaera was unable to adopt Juárez herself and the pair was separated. The day he was adopted she told him she would never forgot about him.

And she definitely didn't. The two reunited and Zaera says the reconnection is a dream come true.
