Foster child gets his fairytale ending when math teacher adopts him 

Exactly.

This story hits me. No one! No one, Child or adult, should be treated like they are nothing!! This little boy has had to grow up fast. Hurts that he has been hurt over and over. I'm so happy for both of them!!

Yeah

Well he lives with a teacher. He get schooled and home-schooled at the same time.

Ok.

They sound a lot alike.

I was looking through the comments hoping someone else was seeing what I was seeing.

its true, what a great story!@

Look alike AND same sense of humor- a wonderful match. I wish them all the best.

Agreed! They do 😀 God Bless them both!

thats awesome, I am so happy for you.

That sounds like a dream, art teachers and English teachers are usually the best

@@belletaunde102 And physics teachers too

Imagine being the Narcissistic gal who thinks that’s what 15 year old males dream of.

ikr its really sad that all he wanted was love after looking for it for years. i cried so hard.

@@wrackable - Yikes, that’s pretty harsh. I don’t think anything I said speaks to a lack of empathy or consideration of others, nor is it indicative of a dormant ego. In fact, my comment doesn’t reflect any of the 4 recognized types of narcissism, unless they’ve changed since I finished my PhD in Psychology. Although, your comment does. That being said, I didn’t say that’s what all 15 year old boys dream of. Not having been one myself, I can’t possibly know for certain what they do, or do not dream of, but should one 15 year old boy anywhere on the planet dream of having his very own cool car, or that the girl he’s crushing on will say “yes” if he asks her to be his girlfriend, or for the new gaming console he has his eye on……I, personally, would find it age appropriate & emotionally healthy. I hope that’s what they dream about, if the other option is dreaming about just one, single person to exist who loves him without limits - bc I hope they’re already loved without limits. As a 15 y/o lesbian I didn’t have much use for gaming consoles, but I definitely dreamed of having my own car, and that the girl I was crushing on would be my girlfriend. I didn’t have the courage to ask a girl out until I was 26 though. No 15 year old boy should have to dream of there being someone, even just 1 person, who will love him unconditionally, and support him when he needs it. Every 15 year old boy should already have that. Everyone should have that. It’s heartbreaking that he didn’t know what that kind of love & support feels like for the first 15 years of his life. But, like I said, I’m so grateful that he knows what it feels like now.

@@DrAnderson1 it really wasn't worth it replying back to that. Nice job anyway

@@DrAnderson1 So, let me get this straight. You’ve a PhD in psychology yet here you are improperly using said degree to justify your projection upon others of your core identify issues. This proves one of two things , one you’re a liar. Or two feminist have successfully achieved the communist agenda of eroding all educational systems to the point they’re entirely useless. So which is it?

My heart broke when he said that! I can’t even imagine his pain as a child!

the way he spoke so maturely and wiped his own tears. like a wise old man already. i cried with him. so good he found someone to trust

Nobody should ever know what this feels like..

I agree, I was in a similar situation myself. I was adopted at 15 to a wonderful family, we are at 11 strong with multiple races and culture backgrounds. I'm so glad his adoption was finalized.

I teared up a little bit when that boy said that stuff like that should be illegal

In a different life time

They look alike...very alike

Uhhh recheck eyes?…maybe?

I was just thinking that!

They absolutely do 💯

lucky my teachers bullied me

My 5th grade teacher bullied me (I’m disabled)

Sending love to ALL of you. ❤❤❤❤

I wasn't left but abandoned and emotionally neglected (manipulative narcissistic mother), having adults (teachers) who are just sweet and supportive made my day!

I love you too❤

Same, it’s really it’s own trauma

I believe he allways was / is the best version of himself no matter the circumstances, but his Dad / Teacher could see it. We all know how little teachers get paid and adopting a kid with special needs as a single must be really hard but worth it at the end. I just hope they stay humble and happy together.

@@aRockOrSomething2 yep, it sucks because you start to think it’s your fault and blame yourself, and it’s sucks having to make pretty much a whole new life and have to change yourself to fit in with your new family in fear that the same thing will happen again 🥲, I’m so glad I’m almost done with foster care

Sending you some love and much respect, T. I hope it made you better, despite some of the bitter experiences you had. Kids deserve so much better than some of the painful things that happen to them, and most especially foster kids.

@@milliemay2708 oh Millie! You are aging out of the system? This is horrible. I’ve also heard nightmare stories of kids who age out and then are just live on their own and don’t have the tools to take care of themselves and adult. I wish you every success and to make a family of your own.

Yes! Go for it.

Good luck!

Reality is. Orphanages do kick teens out. Once they're not adoptable. Many do not kno the pain.😔✌

Awww 😭

Your AMAZING

I noticed that too! Maybe they’re in the same soul family lol

I was thinking the same exact thing they look so much alike

I thought same thing too! 😊

Yeesssssss that what I said. This was Supposed to happen

God does that!!

That's what I thought, they look like father and son. I bet they get a lot of people in real life comment on how alike they are.

Selective prosecution means you throw the entire case out, you stupid fool. I'll tell Skyler and his friends about their taking Kent's donuts to the gas station and all the other "shenanigans" that can happen in that default environment of yours. Things are OFF THE HOOK! I am innocent of all of this and have won all of this view. The trees do not sway in the wind and we have ourselves a comfy spot on the old hammock. I've been set up, by the way. Our whole lives growing up, they set me up to die in prison falsely so they could do it to themselves, look like victims and get rich. WHAT ABOUT ALL OF THAT, HUH?! YOUR CRIME HERE PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE REALITIES OF THIS WORLD! IT IS A FIRST TIME OFFENSE AND IT'S HUH. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION TOP TO BOTTOM. SELECTIVE PROSECUTION IS THE LAW AND YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT HOW LONG THAT HAS BEEN IN THE BOOKS!

Unfortunately his life situation likely made him that way. The fact that he was able to remain positive in spite of his challenges is testament of his hopeful heart. Finn is such a hero for stepping up to help Damian. He changed the trajectory of his own life to change the trajectory of Damian's life and it appears that both their lives are better for it.

So is the dad

That's what I would like to say.

he is just very communicative and good with words. look at elon musk. elon musk is really bad at finding words fast yet elon musk is still quite succesful. its just some people have different strengths, some are good at maths, others have a very good rhetoric like this young man in the video. not everyone with a bad rhetoric is immature or stupid is what i am trying to say

Yeah foster care will do that :/

I love that 👍🏼

@@keystonedaytrip238 agreed - a wonderful old saying - and one I had never heard until today - thank-you Steven Valys!

They do look alike!! Awww this is heartwarming xx

Yup! 😄

I was thinking they looked more alike by the end too. Great saying.

This statement is why I firmly believe that reincarnation is real and that kids like Damien are put before us as a test to determine how genuine we as a human being truly are and can be. I've met some 6 and 7 y/o that articulate themselves as if they were speaking in front of a shareholders meeting, their vernacular, vocabulary, stance, assertions, etc etc. make me shake my head and question everything we know about our world, our lives, and the way things are "supposed to work".

@@patrickkelly5009 No, it's because he has seen struggle. Struggle can make any child a man. It's either learn fast or suffer more. Suffrage breeds adaptation.

@@FlickFlag thank you I was looking for this comment. Hard times make a kid mature

I agree.

I worked many years in emergency children's homes. It always struck me how even small children didn't even cry, when brought in by police.Rather beeing relieved. How for elder sibblings it was natural to take care of their younger ones and how " grown up " many already were having to realize that life is not a walk in the park for them. There are so many out there !

@@kimjungun2770 yes, the moment you are born that determination can be made. It's all the kid's fault.

@@kimjungun2770 wait whaaaa?? I’m so confused, why wouldn’t a kid deserve a parent? Every kid deserves a good childhood and good parents, because that’s often what makes them a good adult.

@@kimjungun2770 wtf, all kids deserve a parent, some parents don’t deserve kids

@@saanvirami thats untrue. Have you ever heard of the show dr.phil or TLC? Some of those kids are fortunate enough to have parents but don't deserve them as they are rude asf, doing things such as locking their parents out of the house until they got them Starbucks,

Why not both? Don't let your blood line end with you. Do you know how much your ancestors went through just to ensure their blood would still be on Earth today? It is the greatest insult to them to purposefully not have children.

Exactly. He was aware of how people just kick you out after they say they care about you. And even when he was fostered by the math teacher, he knew not to get too connected.

@@notayoutubechannel5647 Survival mode. 😟😟😟 No child should be this way. 3rd word infants have to start survival practices! USA tries to make it look like that is never the case!

Saddest part of the video to me man that kid talks like he’s 20 :/

Please be a teacher. We need more good ones.

I was thinking the same thing!

It would have been very easy (& totally understandable) to purely focus on yourself after that experience. The fact that you decided instead to step up and stop another child going through what you went through speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. I wish you and your son all the very best.

When I was in foster care it was bad. I am almost 49 years old. I have a wonderful husband and two precious daughters 💕❤💖 My life now is a fairy tale! But, hard as I may, I can't shake the sadness of being treated so horribly all those years ago. 😢 It's a huge empty void that, that can't be filled in this lifetime.

Great story! I love kids. So sorry though that the littlest was given back to a reckless parent than, disappeared. I pray she's alright ❣️

@Not Real I'm sorry, I guess I didn't explain that very good. I was adopted with by 2 bio sister because my Mom taught very, very hard for us. Without her we would have been permanently separated. The little girl (Alexis) was not my biological sister, but another girl mom and dad took in shortly after we came to them. But mom amd dad were 100% going to adopt her so we always viewed her as our sister, and still do. It was her mother's boyfriend that almost killed her (though we knew the mom knew about the high level of abuse and didn't care) in fact we picked he rup from the hospital. So the courts decided she was safe. Thus handing her back to the mother and the mother did not keep touch with the court as she should. My mom tried to warn the courts something like that was going to happen (mom was blessed to be able to discern people amd has never been wrong yet), she begged them not to send her back but they did. I don't think there would be anyway to find her now. She has a very unique last name and mom can't quite remember it anymore after 20 years.

I'm so happy to hear that your experience being adopted by an older couple was good. The fact that they were a therapeutic home is HUGE, so they understand how to navigate and help kids with trauma. I also was taken from my parents at a young age and adopted by an older couple, in their 60's, but they didn't have any background in how trauma effect kids behavior/trust, ultimately leading to them unadopting me. I'm not saying this for any sympathy, im just wanted to input how happy I am that a similar situation worked out for you and how important it is for fostering families to have a good background in child development/trauma. I believe most fostering families have to take a class or complete something to be certified in their understanding, but it's interesting to think that some people can get that training and still not be good parents. It seems so obvious, but I've been many places and I can say, i saw and experienced more abuse than not. Granted, 10-20 years ago the system was a little different. It's changed a little, but it's not much better.

@@sporks3256 I am sorry that you experience was so bad! I told my mom about it and she says she'll adopt you! My mom since ending fostercare has started mentoring people unofficially. She just can't help herself lol. I agree training is a must. We were deeply traumatize kids with severe PTSD. Sounds like we might have been in at the same time. At that time the foster system was so new and PTSD in children still not understood fully. They told mom that we would never be normal and needed to go to a special school. What we needed was lots of love and loving correction. But mom says even some people that having been thoroughly trained can't do it. You have to have training, but you have to also have decernement and understanding because every child is different. We hit the jackpot. We are still in contact with one of our social workers and she said it is amazing how we've turned out, but she always had faith in us.

Sounds like you for your happily ever after xx

I agree. Not saying you can't have your own first, no one should be shaming anyone. But personally, I definetly wanna help someone first.

Same, I know my current boyfriend have talked about this. He knows how much adoption means to me and I know how much having a child is to him so we made the compromise of having at least 1 kid then we can adopt.

This is how everyone should be thinking.

I don't understand why more people don't think this way

@@HumbaWithRice what’s their yt channel ?

You are a man of God sir. I wish you well for your future.

As an adoptee, thank you for you and your parents' beautiful souls. ❤❤❤

Thank you for saying everything I was thinking!!!

I could never kick a child out no matter how troublesome they may be, there is always a way to make things better. A child has so much time to change if it's their behavior, you never know what they will be like when they are older. I've seen very naughty kids turn into very humble adults. The people people kick them out are fostering for the wrong reasons. Fostering is really the same as being a parent it's a full time job and I think a lot of them don't realise that. They are not a pet fish you just leave to do whatever and feed every now and then.

Yep, this is so true. My brother and I have been through 7 foster house before we were finally adopted. It has created immense trust issues, abandonment problems and a general distrust against people.

I want to adopt but they make it much harder. So I’m attempting being foster relief.
