From 15 foster homes to one adoptive family 

What a lovely boy, bless him. He's bouncing around unselfconsciously like a younger child. It's as if he's getting a loving childhood back. I hope he knows nothing but happiness and love for the rest of his life.

How wonderful to see a couple who were willing to adopt a teen, rather than a cuddly little baby. I'm so happy for them all!!

Kids still need to be adopted at 17 because you still need a family and direction in your early 20s. You will need grandparents when you have kids.

I'm so happy that Alex's story defied the typical outcome for a teen in foster care. It gives me a warm feeling seeing how much love is there.

I was raised on a farm half mile from a foster home. I saw friends come and go, way too quickly. Everyone I made friends with there LOVED our farm. Cows, horses, chickens, homing pigeons and rabbits. I thoroughly believe ANIMALS can heal wounds that humans cannot! Great job mom and dad

Great parents and Alex looks like a sweet kid. Happy for all of them!

He is so appreciative you can just see it in his face. Even more than most young kids are

He looks like them ... Blessed the parents

OMG Mom said it right in the beginning of this video. He just belonged and fit right in with them. He even looks like them! Seriously he is SO loved we can all see it in him how much he is soaking up all that love he was missing for years before meeting his forever family. From one redhead to another.... You are Awesome Alex!!

Thank you Lord for those willing to adopt.

There’s a child who needed a mom and dad, and a momma and dad who needed this child❤️ Love....

We have adopted four older children from foster care at various times in our lives. All were severely traumatized! Trust us such a huge issue. Yes they were difficult during their initial placement and during some of those teenage years. They are ages 22-40 now and we are so thankful for our amazing loving children! They have contributed greatly to our very happy life. They were adopted at ages 8, 13, 15, and 16 none were biologically related now they are siblings with our other four children. Life is very full and fun

What a great kid! Wishing blessings and happiness on Alex and he adoptive parents.

Seeing him bounce around like that genuinely lets you know he is happy and loved and full of life. You could put the video on mute from beginning to end, not know anything about whats going on but still be able to look and see and think "That's one happy boy. Must be a very loving family." Not a single word is needed either.

Beautiful kid and wonderful parents.

Alex looks like he fits seamlessly into this family. What a beautiful family.

I love this family. He was placed with such beautiful parents and living on a farm with animals will be so therapeutic for him. God bless this family!

Of anything in the world one person can do, helping to guide and shape the life of a child? So that child can grow up loved, secure and happy? Like, how cool s THAT?

Wow, this couple is so amazing. It is super scary to take on an older child with 15 years of experiences you don't know about. I am so happy for this boy, he seems like a great kid.

As an older child being adopted he understands he was wanted and loved and chosen

Exception people. The young man has a new start in life. I hope he is doing well still. You can tell he really loves his parents.

You can't change the world, but.......you changed the world for a boy named Alex.

What wonderful people to look outside of themselves and see needs of others, especially loving a child who desperately needs it. That is why I feel awful for kids timing out of the foster system at 18. Most kids (95%) cannot provide for themselves or know exactly how the world works. Bless these people!

This is so beautiful. What a lovely couple. I can't even imagine the comfort that young man feels just knowing that it's ok now...he has something solid.

So sad when kids thrown into foster care many age out and never find permanent home. So happy these parents chose Alex they look like good match. Wish them long life and happiness.

Those two are.obviously the perfect family for Alex. God bless you all

Nothing beats a happy ending. They all seem made for each other.

Too beautiful.God had a plan, Jeremiah 29:11

Such a sweet story. You can tell he is crazy about them especially having a Dad since he is a teenager. He is full of energy and the parents are very calming. God Bless them every one.

Congratulations Alex! You deserve to be happy buddy. So nice to see your smiling face!

Ok, that last hug just did it for me 😭😭😭❤

What a great kid. So happy for him...and for his parents. A blessing all the way around.💗

He's adorable. Love that smile. I hope that they have a Wonderful life together. Beautiful Family.

What a great boy! Thank God for him finally getting loving parents. Praise God

What a beautiful boy ..

It's never too late to have a Mum and Dad.

Makes me cry. Sooo glad they found each other. He seems content and happy. You can tell they really love each other. My heart goes out to all three of you, and the puppy too.

Can I write crazy but wonderful - he looks just like his DAD!!!

This brought tears of joy. Would love to hear a follow up and find out how he’s doing after 3 years.

I wonder how hes doing nowadays. Hope hes doing well with his beautiful family.

How neat!!! What a cute guy. Everyone lucked out.

What a sweet story. I'm so happy for all of them.

He looks like their love created him because he looks like their son! I pray they have the best, "the best rest of their life story!" ❤

What an awesome kid and to have awesome parents at last. He is cherished by those parents.

Man, he really does look so much like his adoptive parents, what an incredible story and resilient kid. As someone who was adopted (internationally) back in 2010, I can gratefully say that I don't know where I'd be today without my amazing loving adoptive parents. May they always be blessed ❤

You can see how happy Alex is and how much he is loved!

I hope Alex always happy ❄️♥️

Congrats - it looks like a match made in heaven!!! So much love!!!

So beautiful! Thank you Lord for these loving parents and for a neat kid and that you brought them all together.

I wish his happiness to every child out there but even more so to all the children in foster care

What a lovely boy!❤️He deserves the best.

Best Mum and Dad in the WORLD ALL THE BEST

This makes me so happy..God bless you all!

Can't stop crying while watching this... such a sweeeeeet boy & thx for giving him what a boy duly deserved, love, care & acceptance, a home to go home to!

Alex is very mature. Wish him the very best in his future.

He is just an awesome kid So are his parents Just wonderful to see They are beaming with happiness

Beautiful family! He really made your family full! He sounds like a blessing!

Every child deserves to know they r loved and wanted. I hope more children find what Alex did.

My heart is crying. I'm very happy for him and his parents.

bless you and your husband and especially Alex! The greatest gift God bestows on us is compassion and I love God and you guys for giving that to Alex!

Heart-wrenching and heart-warming. I’m so happy for this family.

It’s a great thing when you feel like being a part, included, found. Love to see more on this thru the years

These people are real life angles!! 🙏. Thank you for adopting him!

If your first 11 years had to be lousy, looks like you hit the jackpot.

Bless this family

Wow beautiful parents and a handsome son.

How wonderful ❤️ couple like you.. Thanks you so much

He really looks like he was made by this couple ❤ Myself and hubby are retired now and looking forward to fostering this year 🤞

11years is a wait. Now you have a parents and plus factor that they are rich ☺️

Ich freue mich für Alex und natürlich auch für die Eltern. Gott schütze euch

Such a lovely last scene -- a beautiful family!

Amazing story God bless all of you

Aw, I have a lump in my eye, and a tear in my throat. 😄 Wonderful people, to adopt a teenager. I am so happy for him. I wish him happinesses, and many blessings, for the rest of his life. May you achieve lots of things, on your wish list. 🤗

Thank you for loving this boy!

There will never be enough love for a child - regardless it's a baby or a teen 💙 - this parents are doing amazing! Sending only best wishes from Germany!

I am super happy for him and yet I am crying 😢

Sweet redhead kid, idyllic farm: strong Anne of Green Gables vibes in this lovely story.

Wow! He looks like his new parents!

Definitely want to adopt a teen someday ❤️

Beautiful ... Just so beautiful !

Awesome story. Thank the Lord for making a way. He had such a life of pain and glad to see he got blessed with a wonderful outcome. The Lord brought good out of something that was previously so sad.

I'm crying

so so happy for Alex! 🥰

I wish that these stories had follow ups...............

Your happiness together brings me so much joy. Thank you for sharing your story.

This is a blessing from above.

People you can trust... That's it.

One lucky family!

You all look like a perfect fit together I wish you nothing but happiness

🥺Immediately I can see how they all absolutely belong with each other. I realy am so happy for all of them. It looks like Alex has so much fun and discovery with the farm life. Thank you for what you do

Please provide updates. This is quite inspiring.

I'm not crying....you're crying.....

Beautiful family ,magnificent parents God Bless this family. 🙏

Love this family and that they were able to find each other!!

So happy for them, he matches them so well!

His energy is so spontaneously gravitating! If there were marks given for most lovable kids, he would be up there. The way he gave cheek kisses to both his parents in the end!! I should also mention here that it is not easy to have a stranger home. Yes its easier to have kids adapt to new circumstances, but teen kids cannot supress their true nature in for long, so soon there will be some thing or the other that would come up that needs to be deftly dealt with. We've had lots of youngsters stay as paying and non paying guests in our house for months and even years. It takes a lot from both sides. And that is where the parents role is equally important. Unless parents like the ones here are not empathetic by nature, then its even more difficult to tolerate in the long run. Its not enough to have a desire to have someone at home. You should be an empathetic person in general. Like how his dad voice broke when he said I am Alex dad; and his mom cracked up when she talked about the many kids out there who needs someone to love them! We cannot love all of them, we can only hope that as many as possible can get the right people to take care of them. It would be good thus that adopting parents dont overcrowd the house, as it will be a great emotional strain, given the demands. The fact that he went to 15 foster homes in 11 years to finally feel one with one of them, means that biological connection is only of a limited value. Soul vibes need to beat in the same wavelength for two individuals to be able to have a smooth relationship!
