6-Year-Old Is Overcome With Emotions After He Is Finally Adopted

One young man could not contain himself after learning he had been adopted.

Every child removed from their homes and birth parents has experienced some traumatic circumstances. All children want and deserve to be in a place and with someone who will care for and love them. Love, safety and security shouldn’t be too much to ask for, especially for a child.

In a clip posted on YouTube, 6-year-old Harvey was over the moon after learning that he had found himself a forever family and home. He was literally jumping for joy at the news.

The video begins with the little guy waiting as he reclines on a plastic chair outside on a porch. Seconds into the clip, a female voice tells Harvey they have something they must tell him.

“There’s something special that happened yesterday,” the woman tells the 6-year-old. “Do you know what might have happened yesterday?”

Harvey has no idea what may have happened during the previous 24-hour period.

The person holding the camera then pans to the right and reveals a man standing with a board with Harvey’s name. However, the man points to two words, “forever ours.”

Harvey is still a little confused about the meaning of those words. 

The man lets the little guy in on the big news.

“How about Harvey is officially adopted?” the man says.

Harvey sits up and lets out an audible gasp after learning he has an adoptive mother and father. 

He’s still unsure and proceeds to ask if what he has heard is correct.

“I’m adopted?” Harvey asks. “I’m adopted right now?”

He asks, “I’m going to stay here?”

Once his questions are answered, and he understands he does not have to leave, the little guy is over the moon.

The video ends with Harvey approaching the woman behind the camera for a hug.

Psalm 127:3 “See, children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”

I love god

This sign shows what i feel about god. mm i want to give him the good ol' sloppy toppenheimer

Mother And Daughter Worship The Lord In The Middle Of The Street

A woman and her young daughter felt so moved during a street musician’s performance that they fell to their knees and began praising the Lord in public.

Those lucky enough to become parents have been given a monumental task and responsibility. They have literally been entrusted with raising and teaching the next generation. Children, who are eager to learn, are always watching and listening to their parent’s words and actions. How parents act and what they say will have a big impact on their child’s development and life.

A clip posted on YouTube shows how a mother is using her influence to teach her young child how important it is to praise and thank the Lord. The short video shows a mom and her little girl on the side of the street as a musician can be heard playing in the distance, off camera. 

While it’s unclear who is performing, there is no question as to what song is being played. The mother and her child are listening to “Way Maker.” 

As the song plays, the mother is down on her knees, with her right hand raised in the air, praising the Lord. In the mother’s left hand is a cell phone, which she looks to be filming her little girl, sitting on a bench right in front of her. The little girl, emulating her mother, also has her hand raised, signaling praise for God.

Both praise the Lord as several other people on the other side of the street can be seen. Neither of them is letting the fact that they are in public stop them from praising the Lord. 

This mother, by her actions, is demonstrating to her little girl how important it is to praise and thank the Lord, regardless of the location and what others may say or think.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Allegiant Air Celebrates 2,000 Make-A-Wish Flights With Extra Special Wish

One airline company that has actively worked to support sick children has reached a momentous milestone and celebrated the occasion in a big way.

Life is an unfair experience, often leaving people with questions that are unlikely to be answered on this side of heaven. One of life’s biggest mysteries and toughest situations are sick children. Seeing innocent children inflicted with debilitating conditions or terminal illnesses is always a punch to the gut. 

Thankfully, there are organizations that work hard to help young people suffering and battling diseases and conditions. Groups like Make-A-Wish help make the dreams and wishes of sick children come true. However, they wouldn’t be able to do that without the assistance of other companies like Allegiant Air.

In a clip posted on YouTube, 8-year-old Annabelle, who has cystic fibrosis, travels to Las Vegas, flying on Allegiant Air. Annabelle is Allegiant Air’s 2,000 Make-A-Wish kid.

Annabelle is going to Sin City because she’s a big hockey fan and that’s where her favorite NHL team resides, the Vegas Golden Knights.

But little did she know that once she reached her destination, Annabelle would receive a queen’s welcome. As she stepped off the elevator at the Las Vegas airport, the 8-year-old was greeted by dozens of people cheering, holding banners, waving pom poms and filming the special moment. 

Once at the airport, Annabelle received a Knights jersey, a hockey stick, a hat and dozens of people who wanted to meet her. 

After making her way to the Knights arena by limo, Annabelle signed her contract with the team, and then it was time to lace up her skates. The Knights fan took the ice with the team and took a couple of shots at the goal. 

What a beautiful moment that likely meant the world to the young woman and helped to take her mind off her sickness for a little while.

Baby Dons Cap And Gown After Spending 104 Days In NICU

Medical professionals held a graduation ceremony for an infant who spent more than 100 days in a hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Doctors, nurses and most people who work in the medical field are wonderful and caring people. They often work closely with families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. But they are also there to celebrate the biggest, most emotional and most memorable times.

A video posted on YouTube captured a special ceremony of a child leaving a hospital’s NICU. The child was even fitted with a cap and gown as the precious infant was “graduating,” leaving the unit after 104 days. The child was born early at 26 weeks and weighed only 2 pounds 3 ounces. 

The short video begins as the child, in a crib, is wheeled out into the hallway filled with smiling and emotional hospital personnel. As the crib reaches the middle of the room, a woman wearing a full cap and gown recalls the terrifying early moments of baby Lincoln’s life.

“When he was born, Lincoln was the sickest baby in our unit,” the woman states. “The first 24 hours were very tenuous. And I remember those first 24 hours very vividly as myself and the attending worked around the clock to try to stabilize him.”

Despite those scary first early moments of baby Lincoln’s life, the little guy is now leaving the NICU weighing nine pounds.

Praise God!

The woman in the video described how babies born early are some of the toughest members of society.

“NICU babies are true survivors,” she says. “They show us the power of faith and the fight of the human spirit. They are the embodiment of perseverance.”

This is one of the happiest, most moving and most powerful graduation ceremonies that you’ll ever witness.

Doctors Told Girl With Cerebral Palsy She’d Never Walk And Now She’s Running

A young woman proved medical professionals who told her she would never walk very wrong. 

Life is often an unfair experience, handing out problems and issues to some of society's most vulnerable and innocent members. Yes, people, because of wrong choices and poor decisions, bring hardships upon themselves. But other times, that is not the case, where the recipient did nothing deserving of a horrible disease or debilitating condition.

A clip posted on YouTube shows a little girl who was born with cerebral palsy. The child, the video points out, was told that because of her condition, she would never be able to walk. However, she and her family refused to accept that assessment.

The video starts with the tiny child in a hospital bed, attached to several tubes. Seconds later, the video has progressed several years into the child’s life. The girl is now using a walker to stroll along a paved road.

Then, with braces on both legs, a woman, likely her mother, right behind her, the girl, walks down a hallway. The woman providing the little girl with support advises and cautions her to take things slowly.

The video shows the little girl achieving a milestone in her life. While standing on a purple floor mat, the girl prepares to complete her biggest jump ever. The girl, who stands by herself with braces on her legs, accomplishes the feat. Sophia’s mother immediately erupts with shrieks of joy and excitement.

Clips follow with the child making her way down a flight of stairs, riding a scooter and balancing and hopping on one leg. The woman, likely Sophia’s mother, also puts her through a series of exercises designed to develop and strengthen the child's legs. 

In the end, the child, who was told she would never walk, is spotted momentarily running on a treadmill. The inspirational and tear-jerking video ends with Sophia effortlessly climbing up a wall.

Preschooler Almost Missed Walking At Graduation But She Refused To Let Paralysis Win

One little girl was determined not to miss her preschool graduation even when she experienced paralysis in her right arm.

Unfortunately, life is not a fair or easy experience. Sadly, some people receive a more difficult hand than others, even the most vulnerable and innocent members of society aren’t exempt from those harsh realities. Seeing children afflicted with debilitating diseases or conditions is always heartbreaking.

A video posted on TikTok shows a young lady, Estella, bravely fighting her way through her preschool graduation even though she was experiencing paralysis in her right arm.

She did not want to miss accepting her diploma.

Estella has Alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), a rare neurological disorder. The National Institutes of Health describes the condition as causing “recurrent episodes of paralysis (hemiplegia) that involve one or both sides of the body, multiple limbs, or a single limb.”

The site also adds that these attacks of paralysis “may affect different parts of the body at different times and may be brief or last for several days.”

The individual who posted the video in the caption indicated that they did not expect the child to make it through the ceremony. However, the little girl was bound and determined to graduate with her class.

“I saw the determination on her face during that entire program,” the caption reads. “It was like she was willing her body just to hold on a little longer so she could have her moment.”

The caption’s writer also mentions how they reacted when someone who knows Estella’s story began clapping for her during the ceremony.

“I barely held it together,” the caption states. “It was such a small act of encouragement and support that I was so grateful for.”

What a brave young woman! Congratulations on your recent graduation, Estella!

Country Singer Granger Smith Copes With Loss After 3-Year-Old Son’s Death

One country musician and his wife suffered a devastating tragedy with the loss of their 3-year-old son and have now found a way to deal with their pain and help others grieving.

Becoming a parent is one of life’s greatest blessings. Children add so much joy and happiness to life. But for a parent, no pain is worse than losing a child. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to country singer Granger Smith and his wife, Amber.

Granger and Amber’s three-year-old son, River, fell into the family’s pool and drowned about five years ago. What a devastating loss that would have struck the heart of anyone with immense pain and sorrow. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Granger and Amber mentioned how they are using that experience and hurt into a mission to help others going through a dark valley.

Granger recently wrote a book about losing his son and compared life to a river. He mentioned that similar to a river life takes unexpected twists and turns. But what happens when that river meets a waterfall? he asked. 

“What happens when your happiness goes off a waterfall, and you can’t control the flow of your river?” Granger said. “What happens when you can’t choose happiness because you literally have no other choice in life? You’re at the rock bottom of your river. That’s what ended up happening to me in a place of total surrender. The only thing I could do was completely surrender.”

Granger added that writing a book about his late son and sharing his story, which he hopes will help others struggling and hurting, is a way for him to find healing. 

Granger also talked about how his faith grew and how he learned to surrender everything to God after River’s passing.

“It was a moment of realizing that there are things in life that you cannot control,” Granger said. “And if you surrender that, if you can completely surrender that and say, ‘God, take, take control. You have planned this. You have purposed this. I can’t affect this in any way.’ There is such peace and rest in handing that over.”

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest on me.”

Triplets Separated At Birth Find Each Other Again

Three sisters, separated when they were babies, managed to reconnect later in life and now live only minutes away from one another in Texas.

Life is an experience full of trying, often heartbreaking decisions. When it comes to making choices, one can only use the best information available to them at the time and then hope for a satisfactory outcome. 

A clip posted on YouTube explains how a couple in Colorado, more than 30 years ago, had to make one of those life-changing and heart-wrenching decisions. After Kathleen and Lee used a sperm donor and became pregnant with triplets, they were unable to care for all three children.

So, because of their financial situation and other personal challenges, the family put two of the girls up for adoption. The couple kept and raised Rikki Jump. However, Kendall and Julianne Scavo were adopted. Both were raised by a couple who lived only 40 miles from their sister, Rikki.

As the video states, Rikki grew up aware of Kendall and Julianne’s existence. But Kendall and Julianne had no idea they had another sister out there until one Christmas morning when their parents told them about Rikki. 

This Christmas Day revelation resulted in the three sisters getting to know one another, eventually becoming pen pals. At 11 years old, the three sisters met for the first time in a mall. In an appearance on The Today Show, the sisters described how that first in-person encounter felt. 

“A lot like a puzzle piece sliding into place,” Rikki said. “I had been a pretty sad kid up to that point, just because of the tragic loss of my father, so it was like the first reprieve I had from that in a long time.”

Now, after a series of unexpected events, the young women have been brought together once again. They all live in Austin, Texas, within minutes of one another.

The women added that they now see one another several times a week. Rikki, Julianne and Kendall have even started a podcast on which they share their unique story. 

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”
