This is the second story I’ve seen in a week about young Black men adopting kids but particularly siblings. Let me just say I love it. They opened up their hearts and homes to kids and helped keep siblings together. Each of these men have different backgrounds, but their hearts are equally huge. So touching.
I love this story too!❤
Me too!
Love how he adopted 3 brothers
What an incredibly loving kind good man
Hope life blesses him and his 3 sons continually
Amen.
Amén ❤
Thank you for taking on the responsibilities of adopting the children God bless you
May God bless him abundantly. 🙏🏽✝️🤍
Amen ❤️❤️
9 week training programme....he's doing much better than most biological parents.
Good on him 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦋
HELLO!!!!
TRUTH!!!
There needs to be more single men to step up and foster kids!!! Hands down to you from a former foster parent!!!❤
Single men have to desperately WANT to step up to do this.
Im in the process of getting my income up from doing remote work. I'm specifically not settling for a 9-5 so I can adopt foster children and child care not be a hassle. Im excited. Today I was actually tallying all the meals I know how to make because I was thinking about how I Want them to have good home cooked meals.
Considering how many children have been put in homes and sexually abused by men, idk.
Amazing
Sounds nice, but if we promote family unit this wont be a need for "more"...
.
This Man is doing a Huge deed though and helping society itself-
He was meant to be their dad. The kids are gorgeous.
❤ That was a great story. I was a single mother of a toddler. When I got a call that my grandchildren were picked up. Put into emergency home so naturally. I did everything I could to get them home with me. Long story short, I raise them for 8 years.
So you had a toddler of your own and a grown child who lost custody of his/her kids who you are also now raising? Wow! That's a lot to take on but kudos to you for stepping up to the plate and doing it.
You are a beautiful soul with a huge heart. You truly demonstrate LOVE in an enormous way! Much love to you and all your children!
As an adoptee who was separated from all of her siblings for 40+ years, I absolutely love this.
What a beautiful human being. His dad would be so proud.
His son said it best..." he loves us and we love him". He is making dad proud while loving and nurturing 3 little boys that may pay it forward. Great job!
Every one who hears this story is proud of you sir.
Hear Hear. ❤❤❤
I’m so happy these babies are in a Stable Home May God Bless And Protect Them In Jesus Name 🙌 Amen 🙏
I myself RESPECT the Young Black Father. He is helping the young brothers not just staying together, but not letting the STREETS take them over. You know he had a Real Good FATHER bringing himself up. I didn't know mine, but if i did i would imagine he would be like him.
Great man! I was a former foster/adoption social worker..so nice to see. Wishing him so much success. Congratulations 🥰☺️
Hope he finds someone to share this family with ❤✊🏾
No need. It's hard to find a woman who would not destroy this brotherhood. Once a woman enters, most assuredly, something somewhere starts going wrong.
@@JMatt. Who hurt you?
@@queenroyalty7550😂😂😂
@@meechiemishae4642 It's giving very much hurt and bitter baby daddy.
@@queenroyalty7550😂😂😂😂😂 same question I asked in my honest mind 😂.
Don’t separate siblings. I met my brother after 25 years. God bless him for not separating and giving them home.
I love when the news has positive stories. This is beautiful that 3 boys now have a home with a caring father.
Papa J is going to raise 3 wonderful boys into wonderful men. You're dad IS so proud of you :)
Blood does not a dad make.
Unconditional Love with open arms and heart is what makes a dad.
This man's dad was a perfect example how a dad should be.
I say God Bless the dad who was such a testimony to his son.
What a legacy he passed on.
Now he is passing this on to his 3 sons.
These precious boys know how much they are LOVED and
VALUED.
The 4 of you needed each other.
So many memories already made and many many
more just waiting to happen.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
What a nice story. Wish more men would stand up like this. Boys need a father.
This man is extraordinary!! Thank you for doing this segment. It warms my heart that see this man step up to adopt 3 black boys and keep them together. Many people want to adopt an infant, not older kids. It's also an example of a black man being a positive role model. These boys are very lucky! Jason's dad would be very proud. Wishing them all the best.
It looks he adopted his own sons.They look exactly like him ❤
God Bless Black Men Who Step Up 2 The Plate of Fatherhood By Any Means Necessary!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What an incredible Dad he is!! Those boys have as much love and admiration for Papa J. It is too bad that more kids aren't as lucky as these siblings to have a Papa J for every child in the foster system
The world needs more men like him.
If only there were more men out there like Jason Smith. What he has given those boys is amazing. I know his father would be so proud of him!
This man is phenomenonal! God bless him with everything he needs to raise these boys!
What a beautiful story. God bless this man and those sweet little boys ❤ 🙏🏽
I'll be fostering a baby girl in 2 weeks time.
Hope I'll adopt her too.❤
What a blessing this man is, adopting 3 brothers is a blessing.. best wishes and prosperity to him and his sons..
What a stand up man, I love hearing stories like this. Warms my heart ❤️
What a wonderful gift he gave his father by passing on everything his father taught him to these wonderful little boys. Their lives will forever be changed!!
God was showing off when these gorgeous four Humans were made.
How brilliant that these three Brothers are together.
Kind deeds change Lives.

Congratulations Jason Smith on your New Family!!!! ❤❤❤👏👏👏Your parents are looking proudly from above and will forever be guiding you. 💕💕💕
Congratulations, Tayveon, Ireon, and Tayvon being adopted and becoming a Family 🎉🎉🎉♥♥♥
More feel-good, inspiring, stories like this need to shared on the internet versus the opposite that we always see.
How proud your dad is of you, even from Heaven!
Best wishes to him and those 3 boys! I’m glad he used the lost of his father as an inspiration to adopt children. This story brought me happy tears 🥹
Jason, by becoming their forever father you are enabling these three sweet boys to thrive, not just survive. Kia kaha …stay strong… from New Zealand 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿
YOU ARE A GOOD DAD!! I CRIED 😢😢 WHEN HE WISHED THAT HIS DAD IS PROUD OF HIM,I BELIEVE HE IS PROUD OF YOU!! MAY YOU HAVE A PROSPEROUS & A SMOOTH JOURNEY WHILE RAISING THOSE BOYS!
Dear young siblings,grow up and make ur daddy proud ❤
May God bless you and your children.❤
What a wonderful man and a beautiful story ♥️
I hope you get blessed immensely for stepping up and giving these boys their forever home❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful my brother 🙏❤️🙏 that's all we need to love and take care of each other 👏👏👏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
What a good hearted, caring man. I love how he kept the boys together. I love to know how they are doing a year from now. Not one, but 3❤❤❤. Too good👍
I love this! I’m a social worker formally a foster care case manger who got guardianship of kids off my caseload!! This is sooo special!!
You said it, “Just showing that somebody cares for them”. That’s what every child needs.
His Dad raised a good son. He now will be a goo dad for his boys ❤❤❤❤
This should open the eyes of the father's out there that have children that they don't take care of. All children should be loved and cared for
Awesome 👏🏽 may God continue to bless him and his 3 sons🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Great dad. Great family. Tears.
He's a Real Family Hero "Holding the Family all together." ❤❤❤❤
This is a definition of a father
Great,we need more people like that.
Congratulations what an upstanding man! The children will help you through your grief process.
Beautiful kids have a real dad. How moving!
As an orphan myself, @ 77 I still miss the bond of havung stability & being wanted.

HUGS2U 🤗
What a beautiful heart he has.
Even though they were in the 6th foster home who was Jason, the other 5 homes was a journey to get them to where they are today. This was Yah's (God) plan for these 3 brothers and what a Blessing they have received and Jason can give back what his Father gave to him to these 3 brothers. What a beautiful story and may TMH continue to Bless this beautiful family.
I love that keep the kids together don’t separates kids ❤
So happy for all of them!!!!
Loving fathers! S/o to all the hardworking fathers out there! ❤
Wow his Father raised a Great Son he would be So PROUD of him.
My heart ❤️. So beautiful. That quote “he loves us and we love him”. Beautiful family.
So courageous, so inspired & so beautiful.
I’m STILL Crying! 💯❤️ AWESOME young man & now an AWESOME Dad! Tears of Joy for this AMAZING Journey!❤
As a former teacher and social worker I applaud the young father!!!! He heard the cry from the heart of these young boy. Blessings to the family.

Awesome! Thank you for loving and giving these three brothers a family!!!
Protect this father and sons at all costs!
This is beautiful, loving it, more of this must be done. This happens also in Jamaica, my family did this also, my Beloved Father, Grandfather and Great Grand Mother encouraged good people to take children of the streets or in poor conditions, who can help did help, I pray we go back to these days again✨✨✨
What a great guy…the boys seem very special too. Wonderful story! Best
