In the days that followed, Thompson found himself unable to eat or sleep, consumed by thoughts of the little boy and the unimaginable trauma he had endured. Driven by a profound sense of compassion and an unwavering desire to make a difference, Thompson made the life-altering decision to adopt the boy. But his journey as a father didn't stop there. Months later, when he learned that the boy's newborn sister was also in need of a loving home, Thompson once again opened his heart and his family, adopting the little girl without hesitation.

Wow such a lovely Police Officer and he and his wife recieved a baby girl as a bonus to complete their family🥰♥️
My reply below, there are kind selfless humans ❤❤❤
His wife is a saint, and he is an angel, that little boy looks so biologically similar that I think it was meant to be all along! ❤🎉
Biologically similar?
@@Tumbledweeb same species
@@Franzlikesfigz Well, yeah. Obviously! Adoption agencies tend to be VERY particular about ensuring that human orphans end up with human foster parents, so that they don't end up with a Tarzan-esque situation on their hands, you know?
I know exactly what you mean; they do look alike!
@@Tumbledweeb she meant the physical resemblance - size and even facial features.
If the officer ever reads this I want you to know that every parent in the world hopes for cops like you. You and your family have given the most important gift a child can ever be given, love and safety. Bless you both.
Thank God Heavenly Father for this officer and his wife and family for everything they've done for the kids .. This is the perfect example God talks about in the Bible Love your neighbor , to look after the children and to be humble and love thy Lord your God with all of your heart ❤️ and the rest will follow I love to hear stories like this it reminds me that there is hope for us all for all the children of the world 😌👍🙌🫶👐🙏🙌🙏✨💫✨
Thank you, For caring and loving that young man. Law enforcement will always in my prayers.
@@adelefdeleon2415 - Amen! I agree! It's a perfect example of what Jesus said when he said to love others as yourself. Amen!
Cheers 🍻❤️
Your comment brought me to tears, i really hope he saw the comment and it makes him smile. Thank you sooo much ❤
Thank you, officer Jody for saving these kids. You have restored my faith in humanity.
This man exemplifies something they taught us in college for child development. You have to be the voice for those that have none. I'm so glad this little boy was saved and his baby sister as well.
Yea
The officer and his wife are not only true hero's, but angels as well. It also speaks volumes about their parenting skills to have their own children accept their adopted brother and sister into their lives. They are all truly angels among us.
Yes especially the wife who just had a wrong baby. God bless her.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@maureen8930 what do you mean by "wrong baby"?
Thanks to the people that adopted them . They now have a chance at life and to see what love is.
*heroes
Earth Angels❤
It breaks my heart that these things still exist ! There are super heroes in this world ! What a beautiful family!
They will always exist. Even here in the greatest country in the world.
Kids being treated this way right this moment. Locked in, starving, beating right this moment. It's sickening to think about and I wish every kid could be saved from this horror.
They exist more than ever before.
Unfortunately this is happening all the time, even now.😢 See something say something always works .
A Police Officer with a true heart. He stayed by that boys side at the hospital as I'm sure he was afraid his parents might come get him. This family will stay in my prayers from now on. Thank YOU!!!!
You and your wife are remarkable people. I salute you.
What a Hero I’m so happy he adopted the boy and his sister.
This is what methamphetamine do people!
He took the baby too. This man is like no other, with the true heart of a father.
Can’t leave the son’s little sister in foster care.
This police officer and his family are absolutely incredible! So much inherent and sincere compassion
It's remarkable how well the boy has done given his horrible start in life. Such resilience is inspiring. Love and care from wonderful parents were big factors, no doubt.
My mother would have said that by doing this, that cop added stars to his crown. Anyone else heard that? It's great that his family also went and picked up the boy's baby sister. It's amazing that his family went from two children to five children almost overnight.
Yea nice to hear
That's a new one for me. Love it!
We say that in my family!
Never heard before but sure none of us will forget it now, Nice.
I’ve never heard that saying before. But it’s beautiful. I love it.
It's amazing how much the son he adopted looks like him😊 I'm glad the police officer was able to rescue him🙂
I was just thinking that! I bet the officer hears comments like “I can tell that’s your boy” from people who don’t know their history.
they might be relatives from another life.
this is the same thing i noticed , they look alike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@hodaaqeel2717 familiarity has the word family in it. When we see familiar traits in others’ faces we feel closer
I think they saved each other from years of future PTSD. If that cop didn't take that kid home, his dreams would have never let him forget it. People need 💤!! It's hard to live without it sanely, safely... know what I mean? Anyone?
The definition of better people, bless them for being the best kind of parents for adopting these little angels.
This video genuinely made me cry. Thank you, for saving those kids. Thank you.
This is so touching. I can see the pain his face as he talks. That boy deserves somebody like him to show him love and attention.
I can see emotion and compassion
I'm a daughter of a retired police Sgt. detective from Canada, and You sir are absolutley amazing and so is your wife and your family. The world needs more people like this to stand up against the evil. Thankyou for your service and the genuine soul that you are. You have changed two childrens lives for the better and that is amazing!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Here, here ❤
This man is the epitomy of serving and protecting. Hats off to you sir.
I am crying... What a wonderful story, out of this world touching. Mr. and Mrs Thompson said in some interviews how they felt God was leading them to take these two kids in and love them. So beautiful
What a heart of gold! To adopt him and his little sister along with having his own is incredible. The whole family deserves only the best in life ❤
I don't like the police at all but this police officer I acc the best man God bless you sir for caring for this child .
What a wonderful family to take in those children. God bless them🙏
God is slow to bless the other kids suffering in simlar situations
@@erismana2105 So, God is responsible for all good, as well as all bad? In that case, please tell me what God isn't responsible for?
god didn't seem to help that poor child for a long time. The officer is the one who helped him.
@@JesusDisciple916 nothing, absolutely nothing. People are the ones responsible for good and people are also responsible for bad.
More of these true life stories need to be posted. We see nothing but the stories of "bad cops". Well, guess what? There are bad apples in every profession. But there are also cops that do just what this man did. It takes a very special person or family to adopt. He and his family are Angels on earth, no doubt. Thank you for saving this boy and his sister. I truly wish we could clone both you and your beautiful family.
If you look for only bad cops and bad people that's what you'll get duh. Everyone who thinks normally knows there a bad and good no matter what profession and among people it's part of being human, stop bringing up something that has nothing to do with this case.
Well yeah, but my gripe is the institutes they work for and there are far too many bad apples.
So I appreciate news like this. Some cops are decent human beings but they would have been like that anyway.
I would say that the lion's share of police officers are good people who legitimately chose this profession to help people! We see mostly the bad cops because it's more news worthy to the media! The good stories like this, you really have to look for! I wish only the best for this man and his family. They are true, earth-bound angels!!
@@mikegendron3723Well duh. It’s not a big deal if a cop is doing the right thing (his job) but when a cop is doing the complete opposite and being corrupt yeah, it’s gonna be a bigger deal on the media!
bad apples gravitate to the police profession. it’s a grave injustice that the institution lets them flourish while penalizing the good cops for speaking up
Incredibly compassionate officer and his family.
I love that he expresses that there is of course some difficulty with adopting such a traumatized child. Too many people try to play up how beautiful adoption is in order to get more people to do it. But I think having realistic expectations and recognizing difficulties is way more beneficial to helping to encourage others to adopt.
Well said. Then those struggling whether it be the child or the parents can get the proper help and support
Yes I agree. There will be trying times for the kids and family but love finds a way. He's obviously a great kid despite his.. trauma.
True Heros both the officer and the children and the family.
Thank you for showing your son that there are people that care, he definantly deserves to have such a loving, caring dad like you, He looks really happy now and I pray he fully heals from what hes been through, May you all be blessed in every way.
What an amazing person. I'm glad the boy got saved and is recovering with people who love him, and you saved that baby, too. Such a wonderful family.
He looks just like his daddy now! Good job officer! My husband is a 15 year officer and worked bad cases. When I see these stories, after hiring for the victims and their loved ones, my heart breaks for all the first responders and the many support staff and their families and friends. I’ve seen the heartbreak.
Yes they look alike! :)
I commented the same thing even before I read this. Haha I totally agree!
Yes, I definitely see the same thing!!
WoaW ..!!!! Your right .. Amazing huh ...What a Amazing man n Family...God bless them
I was thinking that too - the little boy looks like his adoptive dad ! I’m sure both father and son are proud of the resemblance
What a huge heart this man has. His wife is a amazing person as well.
Thank you for being such a kind hearted man. Wish there were more of you.
You’re a good man, who has an amazing wife. That’s what that poor boy needed. Not only to finding himself with loving and caring people. But to have his little sis with him. Thank you so much. For stepping up to the plate
My gosh I hope he reads these comments and knows what an amazing person he and his wife are. They completely changed those 2 kids lives and they deserve the world - all of them
Wish we could buy a massive present for him
STRAIGHT A student...what tbis man has done...i am in awe...love him and his family. I so needed to watch this.
It's easy to compare ourselves against horrible parents. But comparing ourselves against these amazing parents is seriously humbling. I was so touched by their graciousness, especially considering the unexpected 2 other children. 🙌🙌🙌
Yes ma’am, that’s the truth but what touched me the most was “when the officer said he couldn’t get the boy
out of hid mind”. I knew he was different, they are trained to move on but his heart didn’t allow him to move
along. Thank God for parents like him and his wife and for raising exceptional children to accept and love as
their own sibling is so beautiful 😍.
True indeed these officer and family character revealed who they are.
This was a lesson for sure. ❤ may we all find a way to slow down and be a little kinder to our families and other families.
THIS BREAK'S my HEART 💔. Praise the Lord for he stepped in and saved him
This man gives me hope for humanity! God bless him and his wife!
Wow, this man and his wife are angels on earth! Thank you for giving these children love, a home and a family! 💗
You and your wife are exceptional people. May God’s blessings continue to shine upon you all.
Very exceptional Hearts bigger than a Texas sky and much love.
This man is a hero, and I am glad that he was able to bring in two new people to the family who needed it the most. We're all proud of you, Thompson.
What a remarkable story! I am very glad for the boy and his sister. Thank you for turning a miserable life into a great life. Much respect.
The world needs more people like you!!
God bless this amazing man and his family. What they have done for this little boy and his sister is so selfless and beautiful. Real heroes.
Wow! When he said "obviously we are gonna take her," with the baby sister! Like there was never any question. What an amazing man.
What a great compassionate story with a beautiful ending. God Bless this couple.
It's necessary to know that there are good people out there. This family is that reminder. Blessings upon them.
What an incredible man. We need more real men like this officer. I’m so moved by him and his wife.
This guy has an absolute HEART OF GOLD 💛 A true hero. I hope the boy he saved lives a happy life without too much trauma haunting him. ❤
That's a real man. Nothing but respect. Bless you!
❤ What a great family to adopt these two siblings and give them the best care
You and your wife are truly exceptional human beings. This is a beautiful story. Thank you!
This is the proof that miracles happen and children ALWAYS deserve love, as they give such unconditional love. I am so proud of this family and the siblings for welcoming them ! Love and prayers 🙏🏻😇
He needs a Nobel peace prize 🏆. I am so grateful for this man and his wife’s compassion in action. What a testimony.
Someone needs to give this man an award!
I will never understand how anyone, especially a parent, could treat a child so horribly. It breaks my heart. Thank God for this officer and his family. God bless them.
What a blessing as an officer and a father.
We need more people like you and your wife. ❤
God Bless You and your family for taking these two children into your home and raising them as your own.
What a lovely guy with a gorgeous family. ❤
He even looks like his daddy, he's where he's meant to be. Both of them are. I just ended my time as a foster mama, it wasn't something I planned to do but its how it went, now I have shared custody of my foster son and his younger siblings all went home and are doing well, luckily mom and dad weren't like this, nothing close to this they just needed guidance.
This story is just so beautiful 😭 God bless you for what you did
You’ve done a great thing! OMG, you are a saint. I know you may think you did what you had to do but you went above and beyond! Thank you for rescuing the two souls who are now your children! Bless you!
🖤💙🖤. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Such selfless, wonderful acts! Wishing the family the very best! ❤
Your love for these kids is above and beyond well done to you both. I'd hate to know what would've happened to them if you weren't around
Thank you, your wife and family for taking care of these children ❤️
This is what you call a good person, a good family. God bless them❤
God blessed that little boy and his sister with unconditional love and family. OMG. I am just crying of happiness. What a big hearted person. Thanks God those poor kids didn’t get to and end up in the system.
I’m glad for that too! He doesn’t have to worry about nightmarish experiences from evil demons, kudos to the cop for not turning into a blind eye and leave him in the hellish nightmares unlike what the cops did to Gabriel Fernandez.
What a hero! You and your family are so kind and caring, the world could certainly do with more people like you, Sir. Thank you.
I don't care if this sounds corny but THIS is the spirit that makes America a special place.
Two amazing human beings. What a touching difference you have made to two children 👏 Hopefully more people are inspired to do similar deeds...children are our lives, whether they are biologically ours or not, take care of all our children ❤
God Bless this officer, his wife and children! 💙🙏💙
amen 🙏💯
Thank you Jeanie and Jody for opening your hearts and home to John and his sister. They know love because of the two of you and your sons. What amazingly kind people you are.
What an amazing person & family. It’s an shame there are not more people like this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I cried through this entire story. What a huge heart - both the police officer and his wife! The ending warmed my heart! God bless this family and those beautiful children!
This brave boy saved him self. Than found some angles to help him recover and show him what real parents are like. Happy he found a safe place to land and help him navigate live with the traumas he has. ❤️
Story made my day, and hero Dad went and adopted John's sister too. Bless you all ❤
Thank you to you and your family. I wish there were more people like you in the world. May your lives be filled with joy!
This story needs more attention!!! Amazing and truly selfless 🙌We need more people like this in the world 😇
This made me cry happy tears!!!!! What a wonderful officer and his wife to open their home to these children!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
He looks just like his Dad now!❤ God Bless this police officer and his wife for taking these children in as their own 😭😭❤️❤️
Beautiful story. What an amazing couple you are! God bless you all!
this makes my heart full..it shows that there are still good people in the world. breaks my heart for that little boy. i’m glad he is safe and okay
We need more police officers like this amazing individual. Hearing that he adopted his sister as well gave me goose bumps and tears . This man is a true hero. What a blessing he has become to those babies. Just wow!
💔 Thank you sir for saving and adopting this young boy and his sister 🙏🏾 You and your family are truly a blessing. May God continue to bless your beautiful family ❤
Bless you and your family. Thank you for making a difference and for keeping the helpless innocents in mind.
I don't share your faith, sir.. but I do admire you and your wife and family for welcoming these children into your home and your hearts..It is wonderful to see that there are still people who have even more than their share of love, compassion and empathy... Thank you...
Wow!! just Wow!! what an amazing heart this gentleman has! These two babies will have a better life now that he has taken them under his wing! They will grow up to be better human beings and live a very happy life. Thank God for Officer Thompson!

What a truly moving story. That officer was meant to be this young man and his sisters dad. I’m so thankful they found the love they so deserved and a family that will care for them. God bless this man and his family. ❤️
This is a very special man with a very special family. The love and generosity you've shown for these children are - well, I can't find a word that adequately reaches the height to which you have gone. Wishing you all love, health, and happiness.
Amen and thank you sir, thank you to both you and your wife for taking these children in and giving them a second chance at a happy and healthy life! I just can’t believe how much darkness is in our world, but truly thank you for what you have done! I am so sorry to that boy, he didn’t deserve any of that and none of it is ever his fault. Keep up the good grades and watch over your siblings 🙏
I can’t even imagine what this boy went through, thank goodness the right officer heard the news and went to the rescue. This is exactly what needed to happen, bless you for being the light at the end of the tunnel.
Such people makes the world worth living. He and his wife have so much love to give , because he even picked up his sister. Lots of love to this family
With tears in my eyes ... THANK YOU!
