Dude...the way this kid speaks, you can tell his emotional intelligence is high even for his age.
-
Wow the way that kid talks he seems like he lived a lifetime experience of struggles. Happy for both of them, thanks for sharing this story.
-
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 coming from a kid who was left by her parents. Having loving teachers meant the world. Thank you Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Lindsay, Mrs. Mcdermott.
-
I was adopted by my art teacher ♥️ best thing that ever happened in my life 🥰
-
What's amazing is he physically looks like his son. Their mannerisms, speech are like they were already father and son.
-
"It's kinda bad thinking about that, but some people actually do that. They'll be happy with you one day and then kick you out the next." Children should never know what this feels like.

“To be accepted….it’s just like a dream come true…” Imagine being a 15 year old boy whose “dream come true” isn’t a fast car, or your crush agreeing to be your girlfriend, or the newest game console………but, just to have one person on this Earth you can depend on to love & support you. I’m so grateful he found that. What an amazing gift for both of them!

Man, that statement he made: “one day someone is happy with you, and the next day they kick you out” hit me like a ton of bricks. A 15-year old kid should NOT have to worry about something like that. Everyone is right that he is mature for his age, but I think it’s for the wrong reasons; that kid has been through a lot! I’m just ecstatic for him that he’s now in a stable home, with someone who loves him. What an incredible story. I wish them nothing but the best. God bless them both.
-
Hearing him say how people were perfectly happy and then threw him out the next day.... heartbreaking. So sorry he had to learn so early about human nature. But happy he has a new dad now.
-
Man that kid is well past his years. You can tell just speaking to him. He talks confidently like an adult. Anyone would be privileged to take care of him. The teacher cant be praised enough
-
“My math teacher?” 😂 So sad to see him cry about his former foster parents. Heartbreaking. So glad this worked out! They even look alike:) not that that matters at all of course:))
-
this happened in my family, my now brother used to be in my moms 2nd grade class and she found out he was in foster care and adopted him. It’s been 5 years and we’ve never felt more like a family.
-
My heart broke when he said “people are happy with you one day and then kick you out the next”. I’m actually going to get off YT and look at the requirements to becoming a foster parent.
-
That boy/young man is mature beyond his years.
-
Ive taken in animals and I know how big of a commitment that is. This man, brought in a damn kid! Hats off brother
-
Such a mature kid and an kind teacher. Amazing how similar their personalities are and how much they even look alike. Thanks for restoring a bit of my faith in this world.
-
“teacher and student, now father and son” my heat skipped a beat. overwhelming happiness for this family. he has experienced a nice family one day, and then being kicked out the next, which at first, made him nervous it would happen again. he was sure to not be too excited, and that hurt my heart. but it all worked out, i knew it would. God bless this family, though it seems you already have. <3
-
You can tell he HAD to mature faster because of his struggle and not being allowed to be a kid. He is so bright.
-
Seeing the pic of the teacher sitting next to him at the hospital with genuine care and concern has me tearing up. God bless these two
-
This teacher is a true hero
