Boy Becomes Friends With 12 Y.O. Foster Kid So The Family Adopts Him

In an ideal world, every child has nurturing parents that love and protect them and kiss them goodnight after checking for monsters under the bed. Unfortunately, the reality is more tragic. Many children get taken away from abusive parents and end up in foster care waiting for years for a new family. A boy from Tennessee was lucky to have found a family that loves him unconditionally AND ended up having his best friend as his brother. How cool is that?

I don’t often find “inspirational” material on Bored Panda; so this was special.
It made me think of all those memes where young children claim “twin-ship” by wearing the same clothes and ignore that they are of different “races”. (It makes me thing that “race” really doesn’t exist except as a meme in the midst of adults!)
This story is an adult version of that perception.
I hope that all involved have all the blessings that Karma can grant them and some on all those who can’t see the beauty of the family’s action.
