At 11 years old, this boy was abandoned by both his biological family and his adoptive family. His adoptive parents left him at a hospital and never came back. One day, I got a call from my social worker asking, "Can you take in an 11-year-old boy, just for the weekend?" His birth family had left him when he was just 2, and now, after 9 years in his adoptive home, his new family did the same thing. They had promised him a forever family, but those promises meant nothing. He was left like an object, and the thought of that broke my heart. I couldn’t believe it. "Where will he go?" I asked. There were no family members to turn to, no available foster homes. "He'll be placed in a group home," the social worker said. I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t stand the thought of him being sent to a group home after everything he had already been through. So, I made a decision to bring him into my home. And when he asked me, "Mr. Peter, can I call you my Dad?" I couldn't hold back the tears. My heart broke for him, but I knew then that I was going to be there for him. #highlightseveryonefollowers2025
