    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.

    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

    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
