Who else come to this side of youtube just to be inspired, and to cry a little?
Est Mus guilty😭🙋🏾
Est Mus me😢
Est Mus ñ i
Cry a little? I'm sobbing!
U got a friend!
“I’m so happy that you’re happy. You are, right?” 😭 what a good person
She is an awesome person, she really cares about him. She said “are you happy” wants to make sure. ❤️
The hurt in his eyes when he said "the adoption didn't go very well" broke my heart... Happy he found a family
I am happy too
yea. that part destroyed me too. He was and is so self-aware and smart. You could tell that he felt it deeply.
Why is someone always cutting onions when I watch these kinds of videos?
*****
They're almost making me think I have emotions. Those freakin ninjas and their onions. Go figure
+Uh oh Codyos Darn that onion I have in the fridge. It's affecting me all the way on the other side of the freaking room!
+Uh oh Codyos damn ninjas
right?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😍😍😜😜
That anchor woman has a tremendous heart in her, if there were more people like that this world would be much better to live in
When the first adoption fell through, that was God's way of bringing him to the right people. Happy for you young man.
That's one sadistic god....
2:19 when the anchor lady started crying. Like she was hugging her son
That moment when he surprises her speaks to me..she is a good woman with a good heart and she truly cares about him..all she wanted to know is if he's happy and loves his family..god bless her sincere heart.
Yes She is Beautiful made Tears come to my Eyes...
WHEN HE SAID "DO YOU NEED SOME TISSUE" 😭😭😭
That was great.
Brought tears to my eyes too. The world needs love because love conquers all.
That's when I lost it.
I am glad that he has a family. All kids deserves love and happiness.
Gloria Campos is an incredible lady with a heart of gold. I miss seeing her on the local news in Dallas. I hope she is enjoying her retirement and is living a blessed life.
Sometimes I need to be reminded that life is beautiful. This did it. :-)
HAHA AND YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL TOO............
Mukesh Kumar Hey, you know, I really appreciate that, Mukesh. Thank you. On another thread I got told that I am ugly and look 50 years old. OUCH! You just cheered me up. Thank you again.
Rh1no1 ITS MY PLEASURE....TAKE CARE AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
so are you.
Rh1no1
ugly? they must be gay or a jealous female lol.
And by the way, GREAT JOB ANCHOR GLORIA CAMPOS !!! You truly changed 3 lives for good :D
wait its not just three, its the future generations that will have a positive outcome of this. all because of good people out there. and the strength andfortitude of this young child. may g-d bless him and gloria and his parents! you should only know of good because of the kindness you bestowed.
She assumed the role of his godmother. That's the kinda love we need to show each other nowadays
No matter the Color of skin if you are an God fearing, loving, and kind human being, one can make such a difference in a persons life... This news anchor showed us what Humanity looks like. Great story for all to Follow....
The boy is so adorable, I would adopt him too. I am glad he is happy.
In a world filled with hate, I love hearing these kind of stories.
His parents love him, and Gloria loves him. A very blessed young man, and he will become a great man.
Thank God, your parents found you! You are a fine young man! May God shower His ample blessings upon you and your family. Ms. Gloria, you are a blessing to this beautiful family.
Damn this story and why do I keep coming back to watch it. cry every time. and I don't mean sniffle.
Shakaama Same here 😢
God is calling on you
Mary Soper ㄷ
junkman19571 Another dumb RACIST spreading LIES as usual about innocent children. You are the Devil. I hope you know that.
Doreatha Penn, if he doesn't know that he will when we all stand in front god and answer for how we chose to live our lives. He should be ashamed of himself.
must hold back the man tears..
your profile picture goes perfectly with your comment
I couldn't hold back
i think someones chopping onions
I never cry, and I held back none at this video, especially when they did the 2nd interview and he was talking about the first adoption failing. Made me want to run through the screen and give him the biggest hug lol
Let it flow man, let it flow
I was adopted also ....and I love stories like this...❤️🥰
If you want kids try adopting. I'm am a adopted child and have been given a great home with a wonderful family. There is TOO many kids without families on the earth please consider adaption if you can.
Wow, he is only fourteen but been through so much heartache, experienced the cruelty that most of us wouldn't have no idea of but still so full of positive attitude. What a human being he is, he is just amazing. I wish him the best!!!
There's still a little light left in this world and these are the great stories that make it happen :)
There would be more if people could learn to just get along and not hate so much. :/
Cori Handsaker Sad world isn't it? :(
It can be but one day all this negativity and darkness will be behind us. Thats the day I look forward to. :)
Just have to focus on the brighter moments, cherish them along with giving back and being an upstanding person. :D
Without god there isn't love
kimberly j Religion helps some but not all. Not to get into a debate but without people setting aside selfishness and making the right choice we will never succeed.
God(s) (as I respect all religions ;) ) have given guidance but how many times do people follow their words perfectly? So instead on relying on them we must be accountable and so it comes down to the individual to knowingly make the right choice. Which all are more than capable of doing, but many find it too burdensome to do consistently if at all or they don't know what the right choice is.
Even I have bulked when donating because I have to provide for my family too even on months where money is an issue. So its hard sometimes to do whats right. :/
I love it when families adopt American kids. There is such a great need right here at home.
Not trying to take away from the Asian or African (those seem to be the trending continents for celebrities) kids that are in need...but so many kids in our own countries in need. I'm Canadian. Is it beaurocracy? Is it harder to adopt within country?
It doesn’t matter where the kids are from. No child wants to live in an orphanage.
Very much agree♥️
You are 100% RIGHT...PEOPLE ACT LIKE ITS A CRIME TO TAKE CARE IF YOUR OWN....all other countrys do it
This boy is going to be someone in life. He looks and speaks intelligently. What a wonderful story!
So wonderful that Ke'onte has a loving home! And Gloria Campos, what a beautiful soul! I wish i could hug her too! All through this video her genuine, kind and empathetic heart is an example to us all! If the news had more stories like this, I'd start watching again.
+Dan Seabreeze I am really happy tooooo!
+Dan Seabreeze Amen. It seems like everytime you turn on the TV the news is so divisive, even on web news like Yahoo or MSN.
+Shane C I couldn't agree more.
My allergies are acting up again. Must be a high pollen count today
Darned onions...
I thought it was dusty in here. That must be it.
DAMN ALLERGIES!
No, I'm cutting up onions 😢
damn the smoke and my eyes
I'm a 34 year old man, and I cried watching this. Ohhhh...thos onions again
Its cool my brother....We as men have the right to do so
Americans are just angelic and incredible lots of love from Zimbabwe
What an extraordinary young man! And this family!!! Great great people!!!
+Andrea Jimenez yes and the anchorwoman is awesome too!!!!
Gloria Compos, is the female anchor in this clip and she recently retired from WFAA. She was always the ultimate professional on air, and worked tireless to find homes for foster kids in the DFW area. What a great video, and good luck to all involved.
Hallelujah, what a tremendous blessing!
Dammit Gloria 😭😭😭
Hi Gelica!
damn onions
Man generally, i'm not one to cry, but when he stepped out and she was so excited to see him, I started to cry a little bit...
Oh my gosh, he's so adorable and despite his situation, very well-mannered and mature. I'm so glad that he found a home, he deserves it!
Awwwwwwwwwwww she was genuinely so happy for him. He seems like such a nice person too. That was awesome!! I'm crying too but that was awesome!
Awe, baby is so happy. God bless the parents. I love to see things like this. Wonderful young man😢
we need soooooo much more of this.
There is nothing embarrassing about sharing and expressing your heart to others, because it can only create positive karma in your own life. There are still good people in this beautiful world. Don't be afraid to help if you can afford it financially and emotionally, because at age 51, I've experienced numerous life altering situations have affected my entire family relationships and procrastination is unacceptable!! God Bless those who read my posts and choose to help anyway they can, Thank You from Michael in Dallas
We can do it ist up to the people who want to change.
man i'm in a public library and my eyes are so filled up omg omg omg omg omg pls dont let the tears come
Steve H i just happen to be in a library myself holding back tears 😭 😂❤️
The world needs more people like her. Loving soul.
Those parents really hit the jackpot
There are still decent human beings left, and I'm happy Ke'onte found his new home. I plan to adopt one day as well.
I met Gloria Campos in the nineties, She is kindhearted and no respect person. I thank for her.
It's so good to hear from people who want to adopt. There are so many kids, many of them older like Ke'onte, that need a home, but most of them grow up in a broken foster care system and oftentimes become dysfunctional adults. It seems everyone who wants to adopt, wants and infant or toddler, but there are tons of older kids in the system that could be the next great inventor, leader or artist if given a home and some guidance.
I don't think it gets much sweeter than that. So beautiful!
The rain inside my head is coming out of my eyes!
Lol what really made me happy is parents behind the corner trying not to be overly excited god blessss him and them ❤️
We need to hear about more good things like this in this country
finally no hate comments or racists.
Such an awesome surprise, loved her reaction
This is sooooo touching! So happy that he finally found such great parents. The news anchor is so wonderful too. Finally a story that puts news anchors in such a good light.
Was I the only one who laughed and cried at the tissue part?
i laughed when the mother said that theyve gotten the child that god wanted them to have
+datstocklyfe I don't get how that's funny at all
+A PonyGirl i think it was awkward lmao. Did not go as planned xD but still Awesome
I did I was like aww then I was like 💀💀💀
+datstocklyfe what is funny about that?
Beautiful people in our world.
it's amazing when human beings find each other.
He and Gloria do have a special connection. I can tell how happy she was to see him. She certainly didn’t give up on him being adopted
Oh, the water works, I couldn't stop it. I'm a 300lbs man crying. Good thing I'm alone watching this.
Im right by your side...
Hahahah jk bro no homo im playing 🤔😂
Need to lose weight bro
He is 7 foot, built like a bear, slabs of muscles, can destroy bricks with his bare hands.
@@FairyandFlowers Maybe he's 300lbs of muscle...
Hahaha oh wow. This was too much. Love happy endings. She was caught by surprise. She couldn't hold back her tears. This got me in the deepest part of my heart. Keonte you are such a bright, intelligent and loving boy. I pray your relationship with your adoptive parents grows and grows. Like the oak tree for million more yrs to come. Bless you sweetheart :-) :-) :-)
"Here's a tissue"
STOP IM ALREADY CRYING
I paused at 2:39 (to cry, again). I looked back up. So undeniably genuine. The best of humanity.
oh man I'm crying like a baby , that was such a wonderful story and surprise!!
That little kid seams awesome :) everyone says "he is so smart" about their children even though most of them are dumb as a rock. But this guy actually seams pretty mature and bright.
No one is "as dumb as a rock" and it's seems not seams
Jasmin Olivia Oh excuse me. My English is still better than your Sweden ;). Of course they are. Most people are idiots that doesn't know anything about anything. Specially kids in his age.
MrRickliam No. No I wouldn't.
MrRickliam Yea, no, I didn't say everyone is an idiot. I said most people. School, specially if your an adult, you are surrounded by people who have made a concious decision to educate themselves. So it's a higher concentration of mature, and smart people there. Out in the real world, not so much.
U know why? Because pain makes u mature this kid went thru lot that s he s polite and loving n respectfull no one spoil him when he was little he didnt get what he wants that makes him stronger and mature dont spoil ur kids too much guys its ok they would still love u
Wow! Heaven has a place for you both for the love you have shown. Even us military infantry men get choked up🇺🇸
Oh gosh! I'm feeling way too many overwhelming emotions here. That boy is such an angel.
Some day... Some day I will adopt and give a gorgeous child a loving home. Someday...
this was beautiful!!!
Love and Compassion are things never forgotten or undervalued in fact both are PRICELESS...
"I'm so happy that you're happy".
❤
Damn, gotta stop cutting onions after midnight.
+DigitalKiwi14 kek
DigitalKiwi14 LMAO same. I need to stop this!😭
Aw, it's nice to see there is still real christians out there.
It's even better to see fewer and fewer of them.
Look closely at your death cult. Sacrificing innocents (the basis of your cult), cannibalistic rituals (you know the one), your sadistic, innocent child killing god concept (flood, Egypt's last plague), etc. You should be ashamed.
Covah Redro Your comment made me smile :D
Ad Hominoid There's no doubting many atrocities have happened because of atheists too.
Vondoom903 Not in the name of atheism though. No one holds their sword up, points it at the enemy, and shouts, "In the name of atheism", or "For atheism and country." Some despicable people just happen to be atheists. Ridding society of the death cults will stop many atrocities, but no one thinks they will disappear altogether.
Covah Redro All I did was frame your cult in the light of truth. If you have better information that doesn't use redefined words, please share.
Oh no I'm crying. What a great story! So happy for him!
im crying on the toilet, god help me
UndeadSeadragon *lol*
😂😂😂❤❤❤
Lol😂😂😂

😄😂🤣
Some tissue over here please ! What a smart, adorable, handsome kid ! I bet that out of these many millions views he got a lot of other kids adopted out there, God bless him :)
This kid is destined for greatness. Good for him!
I cried I had very low day when I see this kind woman there are some angels in this cruel world.....there is a hope

Ke'onte: I've been moved through different homes....*and the adoption didn't go really well.*
That's when the onions I was cutting flew made a beeline towards my eyes.
I am a man... I am a man... must repeat... must not give in... losing....
awwwwwwww🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌i won't tell anyone😊😊😊😊
Real men cry...
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂
+LJ808 It's ok. I see nothing wrong with men crying. We are all human beings after all. :)
+LJ808 im on my 2nd box of tissues
What a great happy ending to his search for a family, he obviously found the right one at the right time and vice versa. I believe kind people are brought together to help each other, and both the anchor and the young man clearly both possess that kindness. So happy and sincere and caring, genuine and appreciative, both of them toward each other.
I'm going to repeat the following comments in another comment:
1.) For men and women who were affected emotionally and brought to tears, please know that it is nothing to be ashamed of and a sign of strength and connection to your humanity. Anyone who would shame you for them has the problem, not you
2.) For those who thought the reunion seemed a bit awkward, it may have appeared so for two probable reasons: TV is a very artificial environment where you have to be and also are made hyper aware that thousands to millions are watching you right now, so it affects behavior and normal interaction. The other reason is because the crew was all in on the surprise and were keeping their emotions as hidden as possible as the story played, especially knowing he was there and would be surprising their truly kind and caring co-worker to whom this would mean so much, and they would get to share that moment. The kid probably wanted to not take up too much time or embarrass her, which is why he was prepared with the tissue, lol. She handled the situation very appropriately and with probably much more self control than a lot would have because she is a professional. Knowing that her heartfelt concerns to make sure he was happy and loved were her first reaction just shows how sincere she was being at the time. Genuine people like this truly are inspiring and give me hope for humanity.
This was me 27 years ago, thank you mrs. T and god
I love this! Go Gloria!
Spends his life wondering if anyone will care for him, and now he's got this family and this reporter who just love him. Man...what a great story. Now, excuse me, something is in my eyes that's not usually there....
GOD BLESS THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

You Are The REASON WHY EVIL WILL NEVER WIN!!!! God Bless xxxx

That was so beautiful and kind. That's what God wants us to do for each other. Be kind, thoughtful, helpful and good to each other. Bless Keyante, his new forever family and Gloria " Super Anchor Lady."♥️♥️♥️♥️
Ugh my eyes watered, but I'm so happy he has good parents that love him and take good care of him now. Not afraid to admit that yes i teared up but mostly because it ended in a beautiful way
How beautiful x
I'm not going to lie, I teared up at the 2:19 mark.
Previn Ellis i sure hope you were not low on tissue because thats one hell of a decision to make
This is a young man that has values and integrity like no other. God will bless him.
He seems like a very confident and intelligent young man thanks to his lovely parents
WELL DONE YOU GUYS!!!! Who's cutting onions in my house!

Pedro Ornelas lol
My family adopted a little black girl when I was 8. It was great. She learned how to clean up after me and to make my favorite foods.
That's what makes you a real man
Pedro Ornelas I
