A non biological son but a son nonetheless ❤
Nonetheless…. It’s JUST PERIOD💯
Or I guess not lol🤪
Yes I like my comments🙄
Family is not blood, but those who want the best for you.
Hope you keep the same energy when it comes to trans people. Everyone so sweet when it comes to adoptive non biological parents then scream biology at trans people! 😂😂😂
This is the type of story that I would rather see in the news. My condolences to the older gentleman for his loss. All the best to both of these fellows.
indeed yes we need these stories! God bless you!
Agreed. I was just wondering if there's a way to filter YT to get only videos/stories about the best of humanity.
Ditto!!!
Did you not see the video it actually came out on the news..
@@Chickentheend• No, I didn't see it...I don't have cable or TV.
God has a "funny" way of blessing us sometimes! He's ALWAYS on time!!! 🙏
@cornyconnie "Amen" 🙏✝🛐🙂
Amen!
❤🙏🏽🙌🏽
@@johnlee4249 Amen ❤
@@tired2993 Amen 🙏
Wow after losing his son that retired officer really needs this young man in his life. I hope they become close
I'm sure they will
Some one looking out for this Amazing Officer, Whom looked out for A New Baby all those Years ago. ❤️🌹❤️🌹
His son sent him
People who don't believe in a greater power somewhere that orders our steps,LISTEN and live your lives like there is a greatER power somewhere!
Don't just live like you are a law unto yourself.
You are not!
You are answerable to a power beyond the physical.
I am not crying......
Nope! I did not cry either…..
Well I am crying!
Who's slicing onions 🧅🧅🧅😭😭😭
I'm crying. This story is so heart warming.❤
Darn allergies.
So sorry for Mr. Eyster's loss of his beloved son. Such divine right timing for this young man to re-enter his life at a time when he really needed connection. What a magical story. Thank you, Steve Hartman!
I believe is SPOT ON! DIVINE INTERVENTION! AMEN 🙏 ❤
Amen 🙏
Completely disagree with you. As this is a truly *Miraculous Story, orchestrated by God Almighty. ✝️🙏 Not "magical," as you refer to as.
That is Jesus Christ intervention. Praise the living God!!!!
im sorry but Jesus is dead peace and blessings be upon him 💕 only God does things 🥰Allah
AMEN
@@joy4249 oh boy dont make me bust a laugh in this comment section 😂😂😂
@@joy4249
Jesus is alive and well still performing miracles in His Father’s name.
God knew this officer and baby would reunite in His perfect timing 🙏
🙏Agreed! His ability to put things in motion decades before we see why is so humbling, too.
Yes, yes and yes! God is so good!
@@YooZherName Amen 🙏
@@kellyshomemadekitchen God is SO good 🙏
Amen…
What a nice-looking young man .His adoptive parents did a great job ❤
His parents did . Any one can be a mother It takes someone to be a parent. He had two.
They sure did ❤❤
2:42 They kind of look alike, though. Like real father and son.
The baby’s face looks just like him as an adult. Wonderful story
Such a teary eyed story. So sad he lost his son. God sent him a replacement to fill the emptyness in his life. The boy in the cardboard box. Who would ever think this could happen. ❤
❤
That timing is amazing 🙏
He actually looks like he could be his son. The same smile. 😊😊
I thought the same thing.
Right??...I saw that too
Yes the shape of the mouth and smile very similar to each other.
You saved someone who saves others.
It’s a reminder always do good to people you meet because you never know you will meet them again in the future.
What a handsome young man. May God blesses both of them. I'm so sorry for him to lose his own son.
Steve Hartman does some great stories 🥲🩷💕
Have you ever lied? stolen? hated? been prideful? gossiped? swore? Or other bad things? I Can say without a doubt we’ve at least done something that was considered bad, consciously that we shouldn’t have done. this is called sin. It’s the act of doing something against what God wants in our lives.
Think about this. You have just invited someone over to your house, and that means you can place rules on what they do - because it’s your home! Now lets say this said person directly disobeyed the rules you’ve placed while they were there. you would be offended right?
This is exactly the situation with us and God. We are the person staying over in His creation, yet we consciously disobey- which is called Sin. We all have this problem and because of this God has to send us to hell because He is so just can’t just let these wrong doings pass. Think of it as a guilty criminal having to be sentenced to jail because the Judge knows it’s right. We are the guilty criminal. Hell is our punishment. And God is that Judge.
Well, this would mean that everyone would go to hell because we’ve all committed sin-disobedience from God, consciously. But here’s the good news. Jesus came to die on the cross, taking our punishment upon Himself, for our sins so we don’t need to go to hell. Think of that same analogy with the criminal. Now there is a person that’s willing to bail that criminal out and if that criminal accept that gift of bail, then they will be able to legally be free.
If we accept that, Jesus died on the cross for our sins and repent- turn away from sin-then we will be saved because we take His bail that He offers for free so we can go to heaven.
Always.
What an awesome story. God bless them both.
Amen
There are no consequences. What a beautiful reunion. ❤
Coincidences not consequences. 🙄
@@gasmith7486 No need to be rude about it, but that IS a hilarious typo. Makes it sooooo much more ominous 😂
This has got to be one of the top 5 stories of Steve's if not the best.
I'm not crying !! YOU"RE CRYING!!
no - i just have something in my eye. the wind blew some dust in or something
This young man was the cutest little baby, who grew into a handsome young man! God keep him safe always. And to the officer who found him, what a wonderful man with a loving heart you were and are. So sorry for your loss and may this young man help to fill some of the void for you.
This is a deep,deep story,beyond coincidence. 🙏
Same thing happend to me but they found me in front of a fire station. Fast forward to today I am a Marine now and have 2 daughters
This is definitely a gift/sign from your son
100%
Dieu a un plan pour chacun d'entre nous. Cela arrive toujours à temps.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL STORY 😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Beautiful story about the men reuniting. I'm sorry about the son passing away unexpectedly.
It's like his son came back to him through this rookie officer. 😢
Really made my night 🌙
It's amazing how GOD works in ministry ways 🙏😢
In ministry ways?
I never thought I could cry over a story on UA-cam, this hit me real hard
That literally made me burst into tears.
Thanks for sharing such an amazing story.
What a wonderful man Gene is. God Bless him. I'm so sorry for the passing of his Son, but so grateful for the start of a relationship with this young man he saved years ago.
What a handsome young man. Look how well he grows up to be !
Amazing story! Thanks for a bit of good news! God bless them both!
What a beautiful perfect baby!
They have the same exact smile; and wouldn't have known they weren't biologically related if we weren't told.
Maybe there's more to the story. Maybe he is his father.
That would be a nice coincidence . They should do a DNA test, if they haven't already.
@@bubblybubbles4023
There are times in our life where we cross paths with kindred spirits. This is a beautiful example of that 💗
2:43 They Really Look Like Father And Son …Like Wow 🫣
yes they absolutely do!!!!❤
They do look alike. Wonder if they are related through their grandparents or great grandparents. They should do a DNA test.
How beautiful! Said about the officer who lost his son Ooty. I knew chapter opening , May you both and made you have a wonderful Friendship ❤
Thank you for sharing such good news ❤️🙏making the world a better place❤
Beautiful story, Steve!
This is the kind of news that should be bombarded in the media not some negative sh*ts.
This is the kind of news I want to see everyday and what I want the future generation to see.
Moving story
Thank you
What.a wonderful story. God bless them both
Outstanding! Such great men. Steve IS America's reporter.
The sons spirit guided them together 🙏🏻
Such a handsome young man! God bless them both ❤
What a great story it came full circle the young man followed in the footsteps of the officer who saved him, and brought him into his life after he lost his son.
The Good Samaritan
That is the best story. So glad the young baby grew up healthy and successful.
Steve never fails to makes me smile with a pinch of tears
These stories are THE best!!!! 🥲❤️
Oh my god he was beautiful as a baby and now he is a good looking man. This is absolutely a wonderful and happy ending true story. I always say, when you do good things you receive it good thing in return and this one can not be ignored. He became a police officer. Wao! God is perfect. Officer I am sorry for your loss but God has given you a son again. Your son’s soul is involved in the return of what was supposed to be your second son. Enjoy your life with your new son and God bless both of you.
This needs to be made into a movie!!! Amazing and wonderful story!!!
If this isn't a miracle, then I don't know what is. This is truly a beautiful act of God. Thank you so much for your service, Officers.
I am so sorry for the loss of the older officers son. Looks like God and the officers son gave him a gift after he left the physical world. God never closes one door without opening another.
God works in mysterious ways❤🙏God bless you both
His son sent him his way to fill the void. What a miracle.
That was beautiful.
They couldn't have been reunited at a better time. God bless them both!
God bless them both! They are clearly meant to be in each other’s lives. ❤
Such a great story!!!!
That's a great story. I hope this officer has a long safe career.
I’m not crying!! Ok I ammmm😢😢
Rest in heaven to your son 💐
God Bless you Sir, for finding this precious baby.
Now u. will not be alone.
Angels, watching over You!!!
Great and moving story! Touches your heart! Btw, I think they look related- he looks like he could be a son if you look at both of their faces! They were there when each needed each other.
Its a full circle feel of coming back when the one who found the baby was able to reconnect after the loss of his child 💔
What a blessing ,he instantly got a step dad
wow such a beautiful story , it’s Divine Miracles n Blessings for both ❤️
What a amazing story 😢
I'm so sorry for the loss of his own son. I'm so glad he gets to see the positive impact he had on that baby.
Wow that's so Awesome.
He turned to a handsome young man to .
Fantastic story, ANGELS EXIST! ❤
That’s freaking amazing!! ❤❤❤
He's absolutely the handsomest and, no doubt, an amazing young man. Any mother would be blessed and so proud to call him "Son." 🥰
If you don’t cry listening to this, you have no heart. Wish them both the best years to come 💙🩵
Love this story! 🥰
😢😢😢
Tears of joy.
*Absolutely DEVINE INTERVENTION*

Straight out of heaven, not a coincidence
The tears are flowing 😭😭😭 beautiful story of survival...for both♥️♥️
Narrator
"He'd always knew he'd been left in a box."
Lol, what a line. I had to chuckle at that because of the way he said it. It's an amazing story, and I'm glad his parents told him the story of how he was found.
Beautiful. Thank you Steve Hartman for going on the road to bring us these incredible true life stories. They ALWAYS Make my days brighter.
❤❤❤
Aww, I didn’t want to cry, but can’t help it. I’m sorry for his loss, yet this was a sweet blessing to fill that void, like he said.
God bless your heart for Saving the young baby, who in return today, is the replica of the uniform you used to serve your country and community. May God bless you both, all the days of your lives.
A true miracle of divine intervention!!! God bless and continue to watch over and protect you both!!!❤❤❤
A story like this is what gives me hope for the goodness and kindness of humanity that you so often see so little these days. 🥰
GOD IS GOOD

The young man really looks like him😍
This made me cry and the shot of them two standing together at the end of this they both have the same smile!! How crazy is that?!!
