    Parenting is not about giving birth to a child. It's about raising a child.

    Taking any child out of foster care and giving them a permanent family has to be one of the most noble things a human can do

    See how the mother broke in tears when the boy said "they are the best thing that ever happened to us" 😭😭 She loved them but also needed to hear that kind of words coming from the kids

    I’m adopted and I feel this kids joy. Families don’t need to be blood. I’m loved, I’m cared for and they made me who I am today. They’re my only family 💚
  • That older brother is going to be a star, a business mogul, a star attorney or something in that arena.

    People that adopt kids are special. God bless this family!
  • I was adopted when I was 5, my Dad is the best dad I could ever hope for. One day my brother phoned me up and said he found our father and he wanted to know if I was interested in talking to him and I said no thanks, my Dad is all the Dad I will ever need. His response was "fair enough, I see were you're coming from" and then hung up the phone.
  • Things like this should end racism man. We rlly are all one people
  • Giving birth to a child doesnt automatically mean you're a mother. This just proved that point.

    We adopted a three year old from the Philippines. She’s now 18 and just graduated in the top 6%. Best thing we ever did. She’s a treasure.
  • The kids are so blessed to have them as their parents. Every kid needs a family. God Bless This Family. 🙏

    I was adopted as an infant by a wonderful family. My bio mom was 15 and dad was 17. It was the best decision they could have ever made. I had a wonderful childhood and love my parents dearly. I hope that if my bio parents have any doubts about their decision, they can know they made the right one and that I am happy and grateful. ❤️
