I wish I had a home to go to when I was growing up. I basically raised myself. Homelessness, Eating out of garbage cans and then found my way to a group home for the rest of my teenage years. Bio mom didn’t want me nor did my adopted parents. But I’m still here 49yrs later. God Bless this Mom and Son.
May you still heal in ways you can't imagine. If you haven't already discovered, God is a Father overflowing with love and sheer delight in you. Ready to speak to every part of your heart.
God has a habit of picking up nobodies and making them somebodies without consulting NOBODY. I am so so pleased that this young man finally found what he's been looking for and this lady is been used by God to be a mother figure to him. I guess he's been praying and asking God to give him a family and his prayers been answered. This story brings tears to my eyes.
Jana Sali - in the world he was. As evidenced by his parents , the system and homes that didn’t show him how very special he was. But in God’s eyes he was always somebody and God put him and his forever mom and all the men in the Brotherhood of Jesus Christ in just the right place at the right time to show him what a Somebody he truly is. So many people need Jesus and don t even know it.
Biology has nothing to do with making a family. It's the unconditional love, protection and provision one offers. THIS IS AWESOME!!! God is good. He brought them full circle. What a great foundation she will offer him. YOU ARE LOVED!!!!!
Just saw him on steve harvey show. Im so proud, like he's my kid lol. Anthony Im looking forward to hearing great things young man. You got this, compared to the past its nothing and when things get tuff remember God put you here for a reason, he didnt give up so dont you dare on yourself. Dont be bitter about your past, if you dont walk that path you would be the person you are today. There's alot of people out here cheering you on. Much love from London.
Dear friend, watch my movie about foster families. ua-cam.com/video/3fzOK3_Ps4A/v-deo.html . I want to know your opinion! Write to me in the comments! Thanks
Awesome video. Love that phrase at the end... "go ahead, shoot your shot". As a current foster parent that is what I'm doing. Loving kids who aren't mine as if they are. Not easy, but so worth it.
I’m a former foster child and fortunately I had one great home and we recently reconnected on FB and keep in touch. My heart goes out to children in the system I’ll never forget seeing all my stuff being put in a trash bag and is being physically pulled away from my family. You feel unwanted and it takes YEARS to process that as a child. Foster kids are often mature for their age. I can’t wait to begin an organization for these kids. It hurts knowing the government does so little to fix the system. Everyone doesn’t end up like Anthony and all of these kids should have the opportunity to be loved instead of disciplined by ppl who don’t care to know them.
I am so happy for Miss Bennie and Anthony. I was a part of a Minority Adoption group when I was in my 30's. We had Minority Adoption Banquets where prospective parents and minority foster children could meet each other. When the kids and prospective parents eyes' met, they knew they were family.
Amazing story. A perfect example of the BIBLE verse... *LOVE ONE ANOTHER.* God bless Anthony and his Mom. God bless all of his supporters/loved ones! Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
I am a white Italian Canadian adoptee of 52 . Anthony is such a kind, intelligent, and wise soul. My husband and would would’ve adopted this young man in a heartbeat 💓. I understand firsthand, I was never quite right or lovable to my a mother, and brother. That Feeling of rejection stays with you for life. Thank God for my husband, dogs and friendships, this saves me daily.
Everybody can change you just have to have the want too. Very intelligent dude! To all kids in foster care Anthony is proof you can make it. I see big things for him in the future.
This is beautiful, God not only gave him a mom but he also gave him many Dads. He is surrounded by lots of older men to mentor him. God is good, he puts the lonely into families.
What a great story and such a nice kid. Sadly not every child has the resilience to get through what he has been through and not end up another sad statistic..well done Anthony you've had a tough start but haven't let that define you XXX
His wife, children and grandchildren are gonna be so blessed with him. May he always have the favour of God and men upon his life. Bless his MOTHER for being there for him!
What beautiful and giving people! Anthony, now that you have a mom and so many mentors, you will be able to show how life can be to the next generation of boys that need love and a place in a good family and you mentoring them. I see nothing but great for you in your future. I'd love to see another video every year on your life. Gods blessings to you and your mom. It was meant to be.
I cred when I saw this story, I wish I'd have had some one like this beautiful lady ,yeah I truly believe she was heaven sent,god directed her to do the right thing ,God bless her in every way, am still crying 😢,son you were bless,bless you both on all your journeys 🙏🙏😉
Every time that I see this video I'm truly blessed that she accepted the child unconditional without any problem he loved her and he loves her what an awesome place to be now with Mom that's love you
Awesome story, love it, brings tears to my eyes. This young man will do great things. God brought him this far for a reason. Blessings to him and his new family🙏
I'm so happy she listened to her heart and Anthony's request to adopt him. God is always in the blessing business. He is wise beyond his years. I can see him being a voice for people with no voice.
0:26 - I have a son about this young man's age. My heart almost dropped when he said his biological mother and father did not want him. Ugh!! So glad he got adopted. May he pay all the love forward.
I hope this young man knows it’s not about proving those people wrong. It’s about proving that you were right by making your dreams and goals happen. A great story.
The sky is the limit Anthony because you have someone who loves and cares for you. Prove those haters wrong by doing well and being happy. God bless. 🙏
These stories are so heartwarming! I'm so happy for Anthony! These kids deserve to know what it's like to be loved! If I had the money and space I would definitely adopt from the foster care system!
This young man has a light in his soul♥️♥️ May you always be blessed in your life. I hope nothing but the very best for you and your new and loving mom♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful story from this young man who had the opportunity to have a beautiful MOM , THANK YOU TO THIS AWESOME MOM FOR ADOPTING THIS AMAZING YOUNG MAN AND GIVING HIM THE CHANCE AND LOVE TO BE SOMEBODY IN LIFE ! 😘😘😘👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Watching this for the first time brought tears to my eyes. Way too often the older kids are forgotten and left to fend for themselves. God Bless You for seeing the True Potential of an older child. He looks like he’s Grounded and Loved which is what Every Child really ever wants. May God Bless Your Lives Together with many Laughs and Memories. You are showing what a True Christian is..... remember what the Bible says James 14:18 “ I will not leave you as Orphans.... I will come for you”. God Bless You Both Always 🙏🙏
this story is so awesome but what makes it most awesome is that this young guy's attitude is stellar.. He is going to make Ms Bennie one proud MAMA!!!!!!
They took a chance.on each other and got a MUCH BETTER LIFE all around. I was totally blessed by the story. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life with me..🙏🏽
GOD BLESS THA BOTH OF Y'ALL & UR ENTIRE FAMILIES! I'M SO ELATED FOR ANTHONY!! THIS IZ SUCH AN EXTREME BLESSING FOR HIM & HE MOS DEFINITELY DESERVES IT!! 🙏💯💖😇
Who gets to say that someone will be a nobody, especially to a young man? No one gets to write another person’s story and I’m so glad you proved them wrong!
ALRIGHT, SOROR!!!! So proud of what you're doing!!! I, too, was adopted and know the difference that true love and care can make in someone's life!!! Blessings, Blessings, and Blessings!!!
Im adopted and i plan to adopt when i finish college
I am not adopted but I see the need to help those who need it. I can’t wait.
bless you . I don't know you personally but your comment is amazing. bless you.
You go girl🙏❤
I am an adoptive mom and I love hearing you say you want to adopt. It is the best.
When kids are encouraged, praised, helped, guided, taught positive examples for living, They can mature and become responsible members in society.
"Selfishly, I'm looking forward to him giving me grandkids.!"
That's the most selfishly cute thing I've ever heard.🥺🥰
I hope he gets a nice Education and Career first. Children should come much later.
I hope he waits until he gets his education and career in tact first.
He's so mature for his age & speaks very well.
OMG...Pls quit saying that.
