  • Joe was able to give these boys the loving home and big family he didn't have as a kid - and we've got a few surprises in store for this super dad.

      A wonderful man and a great mentor for those young men and boys,they are lucky to have him. Too many feckless men out there who take no responsibility for their sons and leave them damaged and angry. He has restored my faith that there are some good guys out there.

    We didn't adopt,but my husband and I have 10 kids. I birth them all, but when they get older in live their life. We will adopted, and this is something we all talked about. In the kids are so excited, to extend our big family. People take kids for granted, they so precious in God's eyes.

    But I pray to God Almight that one day I will be able to help kids that need my help and be the light that will shine bright to there beautiful futurex

    • @SL-lz9jr
      @SL-lz9jr 3 года назад +2

      Until that day arrives, continue to be a mentor to those who need it most. I have parents but there was a lot they couldn't provide for me, because they were uneducated immigrants who didn't speak English. My teachers, counselors, advisors and volunteer mentors had a huge impact on my life. I can only imagine what it's like for those without any kind of adult guidance. It's not about money. It's about nurturing young minds and hearts and giving them the tools to succeed in life. If not for the pandemic, I would like to give back by becoming a mentor myself. Hope you find the best way to contribute too. You have a caring soul!!

    When he said “so they can hear my voice when I’m not here, a tear came to my eye. For a few years after my mom died I used to ache wishing I could ask her this or that, but then one day when I wished she were here, I suddenly realized - I know exactly what she would have advised me to do! She taught me so much and I share her values, and I still hear her voice because of the powerful example she was. Those boys will hear his voice too. 🙏🏻💗👼🏻✝️😷

In spite of all that he has gone through in his life, he still stayed positive and gave to children like himself who didnt have a home. How could a foster family NOT adopt him when he was growing up? God bless the coach who was in his life and his wife too, you could tell they were ecstatic to see how successful he ended up in life by adopting these children. God bless them all!

    I don't know why this was in my recommend feed but it's very touching and heartwarming. Especially when so many fathers don't want to be there. My sperm donor can't actually say father never wanted me as a son. And when he decided just to pop up and see me my Senior year in Highschool the first thing he said to me was I wonder if I would have been in you're life would you turned out to be gay. He never said he was sorry no explanation about not being there. Times where I was kid and grew into a teenager I would call him to pick me up so we could spend time together he never came. He couldn't even take me to McDonald's to get a happy meal. He died in 2013 and I never got closure. The idea this man was in the system and he actually cares enough to adopt children to give them hope that someone can love them for who they are is remarkable.
