Absolutely….Especially moving in that given his background, I’m sure it could just have easily gone the other way. And God love his adoptive parents, too. Just a fantastic story all the way around….
Such a wise, beautiful child, great dogs too…I’m having a hard time trying to stop crying,…/// I can’t find the right word(s) over all of Steve Hartman’s shares to describe Steve Hartman’s touch…for so many years he has made us aware of all the good in people…
This had me in a flood of tears, tears of gratitude that there ARE some precious children who are NOT completely and forever damaged by what the devil threw at them, for the foster parents whose hearts are large enough to take such a kid on…. I’m a sucker for such ‘feel good’ tales because I see and have seen many developments going in other directions. And especially with adopted children, foster parents enter hugly unknown territory because nobody ever knows ALL the experiences those poor children have suffered before finally finding a heaven and How the consequences thereof may affect the lives of ALL the family members for years to come.
These however were tears of gladness and gratitude.
powerful stuff – going to share this on Mix and across my family – great story for a Sunday

Exactly. Thought same about his parents. So easy to have passed on possible “trouble.”
