Abraham had never celebrated his birthday before he was adopted and moved to the U.S. So when his mom appeared with a cake for his most recent birthday, he became overwhelmed with emotion. "It's not just a birthday cake. It's a blessing cake," he said. Steve Hartman shares more in "On the Road."

These guys already look financially comfortable. And they even had 4 kids. And yet they saw that and could have done nothing. But they chose to bring two kids in not separate them and give them a better life. That's not at all and easy thing to do. But they did. So props to them. Because sometimes doing nothing isn't enough

Being adopted, please do. All my friends with biological parents raising them, always talk about my mom and dad, and how amazing they are. I was blessed, and as an adult, if ever given the opportunity to meet my biological parents, I would be just fine only saying thank you, and keep moving. These people with a huge house, didn’t do this for fame and clicks, they obviously don’t need the money, and that makes this right. Those kids will be soo loved.

to be fair though, at least the people who have that kind of money are putting it to good use, adopting kids (especially older kids and boys and sibling sets, all very hard to place in homes.) Normally I'd be all "that is an apartment building, way too much for one family" BUT if you're gonna use the space to adopt waiting children - okay, you're cool.

I’m so excited to adopt when I’m older. I’ve always felt that calling but every video like this cements it further.

'That's not just a birthday cake. That's a blessing cake!' Such powerful words from a 12 year old that has already experienced more pain, fear and suffering than most 50 year old people. And when he ran to hug his Dad and then his Mom! Tears flowed throughout the video.

@@nousernamefound.7 no he doesn’t. He does look older than 12 but not 17, his voice hasn’t even completely changed yet. Also keep in mind the kid may come across as older to you because he grew up in difficult circumstances and had to probably be more mature than your average kid.

It doesn't take much to do something for someone that has a positive effect. There are so many people who have very little it doesn't take much to really make a difference. These parents really are wonderful people - I salute and congratulate them for what they did for these boys.

This is a heaven sent story. That’s found in the midst of a racist city. Look! It has to be pointed out, so no one will be victimized by this story. I’m so thankful to see love, outside the people that look like you, and or just your family. We need to spread love wide, spread it far, and spread it often, so it will return to us, from all directions. You see! Life’s like a bank. “Whatever you deposit, is what you will withdraw. If you deposit love, you will withdraw love ❤️ If you deposit hate, you will withdraw hate. 👺In other words, you will reap what you sow. No matter what color you are. Listen! You can have a billion plus on your side. If you don’t have God, on your side, you’re out numbered. Also! man can stop man, but no amount of men, can stop God. He will do, all that He said, whether you believe in Him or not. Again I say, very beautiful story. It really touch you, to see the two young men so please, grateful, and thankful, that there’s love, outside where you expected it. I love to hear him say, “mom and dad. I pray that no one will ever get angry enough to call them out of their names. If you talk to them first, it won’t be a shock to them. Your love will make those hurtful words roll off of them like water on a ducks back. 🥲May God continue to give this family all that they need, to hold this family together, and continue to spread love . ❤️💕

cannot explain how many times ive come across this story and i never get tired of watching it, it truly humbles you, just taking things for granted when something so minor to us can mean the world and much more to another person. Let this be a lesson to us all to stop and appreciate things for much more than what they are. Such humble kids i hope nothing but the best and may they get to experience more and enjoy life from here on out !
