      I couldn't imagine as a child wondering if you're going to get a good night's sleep. There are so many other things a child could think about and this is not one of them. They should be wanting to ride their bike and play with friends. I'm so happy these boys found forever home. Many beautiful blessings to this family ✌️🙏

    I'm an adopted child. I was only 6 months old when I was adopted and don't remember my "living situation" prior to my adoption but I feel so fortunate that 2 people gave me a home and the unconditional love that only a parent can know. I'm now the dad of a beautiful baby boy (first child at 45 yrs old) and love him more than life itself.

    Your lives came together through boxing.and how you
    related to them. When not there you were concerned
    and went looking for them.
    They knew they were seen, valued and then adopting
    them as your son's knew they were loved and treasured
    as well.
    These boys will grow up to be fine young men because
    you wanted them in your life and again you will always be there for them as they go through life. Know they are proud you are their dad and they your son's.You are building
    strong young men.

    Video after video, testimony after testimony, I am starting to see a pattern and its quite disturbing. It seems to me that children rescued from dysfunctional and abusive life situations are turning out to be more resilient, more motivated, more grateful and more likely to succeed in life than the regular pampered, self entitled and lazy kids we have today. Do we have to break something first so we can rebuild it into something better? God I hope not. EVen with rescue animals, they tend to be better companions, more thankful, more loyal and more loving.
