Recent data reveals that there are around 424,000 children in foster care across the country, with nearly 8,000 in Tennessee alone waiting to be reunited with their families or find a forever home.
Unfortunately, Tennessee has fewer than 4,000 foster families, leaving many children without the loving homes they need.
One such child was Andrew, a 12-year-old from Nashville. He spent half his life moving from one foster family to another until he met the Gills.
Kevin and Dominique Gill, already parents to their son Joc, welcomed Andrew into their home. The two boys quickly became inseparable, forming a deep bond. Seeing this, Kevin and Dominique decided to adopt Andrew, making him an official part of their family.
Andrew’s life changed forever when he learned during a walk in the park with Molly Parker, an employee at Youth Villages, that his foster parents were adopting him. Overjoyed, Andrew eagerly accepted, and now, not only are he and Joc best friends, but they’re also brothers.
This heartwarming story shows the power of love and the importance of finding a forever family. Please share this incredible story with your family and friends on Facebook.
