What a lovely boy, bless him. He's bouncing around unselfconsciously like a younger child. It's as if he's getting a loving childhood back. I hope he knows nothing but happiness and love for the rest of his life.
Very smart people. Mature to make best choice for everyone. Instead of following wish, they chose child that mached their age better. And nothing happens accidently- their meeting was their destiny!
I was raised on a farm half mile from a foster home. I saw friends come and go, way too quickly. Everyone I made friends with there LOVED our farm. Cows, horses, chickens, homing pigeons and rabbits. I thoroughly believe ANIMALS can heal wounds that humans cannot! Great job mom and dad
Of anything in the world one person can do, helping to guide and shape the life of a child? So that child can grow up loved, secure and happy? Like, how cool s THAT?
@@michaelacheampong2869 I'm speaking literally. I never had any grandparents and I'm still alive. Sure wish any of my parents' parents cared about us, but it just didn't happen. Now my children only had one grandparent who everycared about my kids and he died a while ago. All of my kids are still alive.
OMG Mom said it right in the beginning of this video. He just belonged and fit right in with them. He even looks like them! Seriously he is SO loved we can all see it in him how much he is soaking up all that love he was missing for years before meeting his forever family. From one redhead to another.... You are Awesome Alex!!
You said it mom and dad need a child that is so true that kid even though he’s older looks like a cuddly lovable kid and I bet he gives him so much in return they never had
@@joeglennaz and whatever challenges may come will be completely insignificant to them because, while not a child of their bodies, he’s a child of their souls. I can attest, I’m blessed to be adoptive mamma myself 💕😊

Seeing him bounce around like that genuinely lets you know he is happy and loved and full of life. You could put the video on mute from beginning to end, not know anything about whats going on but still be able to look and see and think "That's one happy boy. Must be a very loving family." Not a single word is needed either.
We have adopted four older children from foster care at various times in our lives. All were severely traumatized! Trust us such a huge issue. Yes they were difficult during their initial placement and during some of those teenage years. They are ages 22-40 now and we are so thankful for our amazing loving children! They have contributed greatly to our very happy life. They were adopted at ages 8, 13, 15, and 16 none were biologically related now they are siblings with our other four children. Life is very full and fun
So sad when kids thrown into foster care many age out and never find permanent home. So happy these parents chose Alex they look like good match. Wish them long life and happiness.
This is so beautiful. What a lovely couple. I can't even imagine the comfort that young man feels just knowing that it's ok now...he has something solid.
What wonderful people to look outside of themselves and see needs of others, especially loving a child who desperately needs it. That is why I feel awful for kids timing out of the foster system at 18. Most kids (95%) cannot provide for themselves or know exactly how the world works. Bless these people!
Such a sweet story. You can tell he is crazy about them especially having a Dad since he is a teenager. He is full of energy and the parents are very calming. God Bless them every one.
Wow, this couple is so amazing. It is super scary to take on an older child with 15 years of experiences you don't know about. I am so happy for this boy, he seems like a great kid.
Makes me cry. Sooo glad they found each other. He seems content and happy. You can tell they really love each other. My heart goes out to all three of you, and the puppy too.
Can't stop crying while watching this... such a sweeeeeet boy & thx for giving him what a boy duly deserved, love, care & acceptance, a home to go home to!
I've seen this before and it still makes me cry and I'm happy for any baby, child, teen that gets adopted. And I'm happy to all of the couples, and single parents who adopt.
Man, he really does look so much like his adoptive parents, what an incredible story and resilient kid. As someone who was adopted (internationally) back in 2010, I can gratefully say that I don't know where I'd be today without my amazing loving adoptive parents. May they always be blessed ❤
Aw, I have a lump in my eye, and a tear in my throat. 😄 Wonderful people, to adopt a teenager. I am so happy for him. I wish him happinesses, and many blessings, for the rest of his life. May you achieve lots of things, on your wish list. 🤗
There will never be enough love for a child - regardless it's a baby or a teen 💙 - this parents are doing amazing! Sending only best wishes from Germany!
Awesome story. Thank the Lord for making a way. He had such a life of pain and glad to see he got blessed with a wonderful outcome. The Lord brought good out of something that was previously so sad.
So happy for the lad! I'd love to be his mom, but I'm too old and not well enough. Hes a lovely, lively, intelligent boy. So good that he is on a farm!! Wonderful parents! The 3 of them are just wonderful!
What a lovely boy, bless him. He's bouncing around unselfconsciously like a younger child. It's as if he's getting a loving childhood back. I hope he knows nothing but happiness and love for the rest of his life.
My thoughts exactly :)
He’s 13, he is young
He certainly looks happy and comfortable. But kids act like that throughout their teens.
Amen 🙏
How wonderful to see a couple who were willing to adopt a teen, rather than a cuddly little baby. I'm so happy for them all!!
I agree
And Alex is a terrific boy.
Besides no dirty nappies, baby crying in the night! Hes "ready made!"
I can feel LoVe
Very smart people. Mature to make best choice for everyone. Instead of following wish, they chose child that mached their age better. And nothing happens accidently- their meeting was their destiny!
I'm so happy that Alex's story defied the typical outcome for a teen in foster care. It gives me a warm feeling seeing how much love is there.
I was raised on a farm half mile from a foster home. I saw friends come and go, way too quickly. Everyone I made friends with there LOVED our farm. Cows, horses, chickens, homing pigeons and rabbits. I thoroughly believe ANIMALS can heal wounds that humans cannot! Great job mom and dad
So sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢 bless those children 🙏 😢😢😢😢
I adopted my son 3 years ago, he’s now 18 and doing wonderfully. Teens have so much love to give
Of anything in the world one person can do, helping to guide and shape the life of a child? So that child can grow up loved, secure and happy? Like, how cool s THAT?
He looks like them ... Blessed the parents
A lot like his mom ❤ so happy for him 🙏🏻
Kids still need to be adopted at 17 because you still need a family and direction in your early 20s. You will need grandparents when you have kids.
You will want granparents when you have kids. But you don't need them.
@@purselmer5931 actually you need them

@@purselmer5931 I get you
Alex looks like he fits seamlessly into this family. What a beautiful family.
He is so appreciative you can just see it in his face. Even more than most young kids are
Too beautiful.God had a plan, Jeremiah 29:11
Amen!!! 👏🏻

Great parents and Alex looks like a sweet kid. Happy for all of them!
There’s a child who needed a mom and dad, and a momma and dad who needed this child❤️ Love....

Awesome!
Can I write crazy but wonderful - he looks just like his DAD!!!
What a great boy! Thank God for him finally getting loving parents. Praise God
You can see how happy Alex is and how much he is loved!
Thank you Lord for those willing to adopt.
Amen!
So sad when kids thrown into foster care many age out and never find permanent home. So happy these parents chose Alex they look like good match. Wish them long life and happiness.
The reason why the kids are placed into foster care is because of abuse and/or neglect.
As an older child being adopted he understands he was wanted and loved and chosen
You can't change the world, but.......you changed the world for a boy named Alex.
This is so beautiful. What a lovely couple. I can't even imagine the comfort that young man feels just knowing that it's ok now...he has something solid.
What a great kid. So happy for him...and for his parents. A blessing all the way around.💗
He's adorable.
Love that smile. I hope that they have a Wonderful life together. Beautiful Family.
Congratulations Alex! You deserve to be happy buddy. So nice to see your smiling face!

Exception people. The young man has a new start in life. I hope he is doing well still. You can tell he really loves his parents.
So beautiful! Thank you Lord for these loving parents and for a neat kid and that you brought them all together.
Such a sweet story. You can tell he is crazy about them especially having a Dad since he is a teenager. He is full of energy and the parents are very calming. God Bless them every one.
What an awesome kid and to have awesome parents at last. He is cherished by those parents.

He is just an awesome kid
So are his parents
Just wonderful to see

Heart-wrenching and heart-warming. I’m so happy for this family.
bless you and your husband and especially Alex! The greatest gift God bestows on us is compassion and I love God and you guys for giving that to Alex!
It’s a great thing when you feel like being a part, included, found. Love to see more on this thru the years
Thank you for loving this boy!
Ich freue mich für Alex und natürlich auch für die Eltern. Gott schütze euch
