Butterbean Green Hopefully my daughter gets to marry one of these types!!! Strong morals, GR8 heart!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Beautiful Love, PRICELESS

[@andreacornelius3359]

so proud of him. I too adopted a sibling group of 3. I started fostering them when they were two, three, and four. They are now 17, 18, and 19. They are beautiful kids. No arrest, No drugs, no gangs. The 19 year old is entering her 2nd year of college. I kept them in church. Now, they bug me about giving them a ride to youth group. They don't hang out in the streets. I did it by myself, with no husband or boyfriend. Just training them up in the way that they should go. Teaching them the word of God. It makes me happy everyday to see how they are always told they look so much like each other. I am so glad that I did not let the agency seperate them. I kept them together. May God bless you and your new son. It will be a little difficult at first, but It gets easier. God bless you.

Andrea Cornelius what a beautiful story. Inspiring.

[@deef4267]

[@dwn144]

Andrea Cornelius well done you. Im touched

[@mikaylahwoof8988]

Being a single parent doesn't mean you'll be a bad parent, despite what people thing. Yeah, it'll be harder, you'll be more stressed, you'll have to do it all, but you can still be a great parent.

[@elle19ism]

Thanks for sharing your story, it is so inspirational. I've been thinking about adoption for a while, but I'm only 21 so I still have a few years of maturing to complete. I felt really content when I started to realise that God wanted me to adopt in the future, whether I was single or married, so it's good to hear your story. May God continue to bless your family!

[@jordanabeaulieu2530]

My goodness, Hill Harper is like Benjamin Button, the older he gets, the younger he looks!

[@nicholas-vlogs7677]

Yeah

[@roginavaughn80]

I just said the she thing

[@rachellenicolejoseph7568]

waaait a minute.. if my boo Hill Harper wanted a baby.. we could've discussed this.

[@alexadebayo6432]

[@janeofalltrades8279]

[@beemocha]

Rachelle Sanders 😂😂😂

[@rachellenicolejoseph7568]

Bev Carr he didn't include me in this decision at all girl..smh lol

[@rachelfaith3578]

Rachelle Sanders ok? Chile the line is long!

[@estherlungu9332]

I am a 22 year old African lady and everyone thinks I am crazy for wanting to adopt. It breaks my heart knowing the people close to me call me crazy for feeling this way((. This story made me feel so empowered and encouraged. God bless you and your son

[@SL-lz9jr]

You do you! I want to adopt too (I’m Chinese) but my mom would prefer blood relative. SMH.

[@micaonyx5301]

I'm a foster kid and always wanted to adopt, but I never got married and already had a kid, who is now 25. I really wish I had adopted a child when I was younger. If you have the means and will give that child a good home then do it. Nothing will be sadder than being on your death bed full of regrets about the things you didn't do because of what other people thought.

[@ms22078]

Sadly in African culture, they don't really adopt. But don't let that stop you from changing a precious child's life

[@kimberlyjohnson8674]

@Esther Lungu don’t tell people your business. I’ve learned the hard way people are judge mental. I stopped mentioning adoption to my family because they are close minded.

[@tranquilshorestravelagency9641]

Follow year heart!

[@fennyyahtaylor6772]

I am gonna adopt later on in my life. I am 22

[@UrbanLee92]

me too... its a dream of mine to adopt.

[@yourmajesty7012]

Fenny Yah Taylor I'm adopted and didn't have a good experience, so make the decision wisely because that will be someone's life in your hands

[@fennyyahtaylor6772]

With God by my side I am going to do my best to do right by that child. I am sorry you didn't have a good experience

[@elle19ism]

I'm 21 and hoping to adopt in the future. May God help you on your journey!

[@sincerelykenzie7034]

Me too

[@pinkgoddess9591]

[@cherrycola3793]

[@SamoneHooper-gj9rc]

Right! He was looking around like who is all this people?! Lol so handsome

[@marthajane6617]

[@mkyrillos8048]

U can feel the bond between them it's so lovely. When one can give a better life and love for a child it's great.

[@Machenziethemodel]

He is so adorable

[@karenmbbaxter]

Awwww....... too cute........Does he need to adopt a wife too coz i am sure a lot of us would be putting up our hands for that.

[@mj5885]

Lmfao mood

[@alicegauteng2358]

Girl back off! He is mine🤣🤣🤣

[@richardmiiller1813]

Well to all 3 of u, whenever Mr Hill decides to bring in a spouse for he & young Pierce im afraid tht wont be of the female persuasion😋 sorry to disappoint ladie😉 (And i say this with luv im not being mean or anything but I just couldnt resist.) So im claiming him!! I will make a great step father/mother to thy ready made family!🤭🤗❤

[@mariacrudup2501]

This is wonderful to see! Congratulations Hill Harper. I know you will continue to be a great dad.

[@lisasangria1086]

This is pushing me closer to adoption. My husband and I miscarried once and aborted once. I have to be honest and say I didn't want any more children at the time. My daughter was almost 20 at the time. It was a selfish decision and we have cried about it on several occasions. We are now in a place to adopt and feel it's the right thing to do.

[@dineomokgosi411]

Always loved him. Such a beautiful human being. Love, from South Africa.❤️

[@shereehayes3318]

Hill could barely stay on topic and paid Robin no mind once Pierce came out lol he is so mesmerized. So happy for both him and his friend ironically Gabrielle Union ❤

[@niktaylor5353]

What a Blessing!!!🥰

[@catllionare]

I support adoption! What a beautiful story! Someday I hope to adopt as well.

[@stephaniethomas-andrews9257]

Congratulations! He's beautiful

[@jeseniabrady862]

He's a luck litter boy Hill Harper seems like a great guy.

[@BLACKLOTUSBUTTERFLY7]

someone who is choosing to love and share is molding another life to do the same, so that They can reach the pinnacle of their life. that's the impact. whatever version it comes thru is the blessing. we see that there are too many kids waiting to be adopted and even birthed into 'regular' situations that don't know love and care. so kudos to hill Harper for stepping into a divine role as a male figure.

[@ernestineanderson3323]

If that's true, we applaude him, if not and just entertainment to get publicity, NOT A FAN, because it's Robin Robbins I am sorry to say, I think it's the later

[@samimqazi7870]

" i never thought that i could love so deeply"

[@mrscpjones16]

Thank you Hill Harper for adopting this beautiful child.

[@barbietheemuslimah]

Having a baby changes everything 🥰

[@tipsygypsy8741]

That’s wonderful that he finally landed the biggest and best role of all, the role of being a parent!! I am so happy for him, and I loved those photos of them together! I especially loved the picture that had him on his daddy’s back, it’s so cute to see the little guy happily climbing around on Hill!❤️

[@patwilson7596]

So proud of you Hill Harper! Every son needs an active dad in their life. We can see the love between you and him.

[@gailjackson-chapman7085]

What a wonderful thing he has done adopting this little boy without a wife. I tip my hat to anyone adopting a child. Thank you brother Hill for this video.❤️❤️❤️💯💯

[@longinusgalaxy411]

Story is so adorable and so is the kid. Blessings. Pass it on.

[@Angedoescoversongs]

he is cool and handsome just like his dad 😁so happy for him I wish him all the best.

[@crsmith9988]

Beautiful... a child needs love... a single father or a single mother can love a child and teach him-her right.

[@robertahester8760]

He seems to have a special connection with his baby boy. I pray for him and wish him the best, in raising this special child that he says who chose him!!!🤗✨❤

[@janisemills1]

5:02 that baby was like "where the hell am I?"

[@dhottest1yet]

Sierra Mills He was though 😂😂

[@zinzimafela]

How's Hill single? 😳 this makes no sense whatsoever 😭

[@Stargazer9933]

Zinzi Mafela Think about what the reason could be. Interestingly, I wondered the same thing when I saw him speaking at Eddie Long's church, Newbirth in Lithonia Ga... :)

[@teammmx]

Maybe he's encountered a lot of "Blancita" type partners and rejected them. Hasn't found the right one.

[@AshleyJohnson-xd1ei]

He just hasn't found "the one".

[@star-qp4bi]

I know right?

[@SuperBullaMan]

Gay

[@original1stmother]

This man never ceases to amaze me💜💜

[@tommywilliams8170]

I'm always learning something new about Hill Harper. His son is so cute.

[@Stormyfoureleven3187]

Wow this is beautiful. He had so much to offer young Pierce and so much to gain from his blessing. I absolutely love this story. I’ve always love me some Mr. Harper ALWAYS ❤️

[@truthteller3181]

Why is he a single dad? I would marry him.Many women would.

[@frenchvanilla7109]

Dess D I know right, he seems like a great catch. I'm sure many single women out their he can choose from.

[@Anointed012]

French Vanilla , Isn't it obvious ? He's a good looking guy who's a actor ! Not stereotyping or typecasting but he's clearly gay.

[@truthteller3181]

Anointed Truth Noooo. I can't accept that. even if he is in the closet, in my mind he is waiting meet me so that I can be stepmom 😁❤😍💛

[@jdmoore5979]

French Vanilla U mean out "there" right???????

[@ohheybih]

Dess D ok?!?! LOL he did a good deed but serious side eye.....

[@boldandcourageous4176]

I have always loved Hill Harper now I love him even more hes so amazing. He has always been ahead of the curve and i hope more young men imitate him.

[@AshleyJohnson-xd1ei]

Just melts my heart. Adoption is awesome

[@golddust9602]

Why is he single? He is handsome and aging gracefully. ☺️🎉 Harper you are saving lives!

[@MaleahsDiary]

Hill Harper is very handsome and a great quality person. I wonder if he wants to be single.

[@blacknbougie8021]

Idk who's the luckiest - that beautiful boy for having Harper as a dad or Harper for having him as a son. But I'm so happy for them 💙💛💚💙💚💛

[@theuntouchablegirlkysieisc599]

[@tinap9787]

That was such a sweet story. I had no idea Mr. Harper had a son. I know Pierce will grow up to be quite a young man because he has a real class act in you, Mr. Harper to follow into adult hood. The best to both you, Mr. Harper and your son, Pierce. Tina in Cali.

[@dwn144]

[@jdjking]

He's not!!!! Gay.
