Don't take his apparent lack of empathy as less than. Back then, black children were not adopted as regularly as white children to white parents. The fact he remembers her 'markings' as something turned people away says a lot about his actual empathy. No one forced him to make the decision, and then go through the process. He CHOSE to because he WANTED to. Most people put in 'their order' for the perfect 'baby' when looking into adoption, he didn't. He may be gruff around the edges, but the fact she calls him 'dad' says a LOT. 🥰
We’ll I’m a elderly black Female who once had a foster child. Her older siblings pumped her into stealing my things for them. I only had her. He’s telling His Daughter ( Adopted Child) he wanted to help black kids. I’m grateful to God he did. It’s as he said it is in the world. People get paid 🌸to foster kids. The majority do it for income because it pays well but never enough when you love them enough to adopt them . A lot of black foster kids were left behind… God bless him. At that time in the 1980’s. Blacks wasn’t fostering a lot. So they got left behind …😢
I was born into a family that DID NOT WANT ME. My life was nothing short of a nightmare. I would be eternally grateful for a soul like this to tell me he CHOSE me specifically. In a world that thrives on tainted love, it is a SIN to judge individuals who opt to take on a child to give them a better life. This is Gods way. Thank heavens that people like this exist in the world. At this junction in time, we need people like this now, more than ever. 💜✝️🙏🏽
This gruff old man used the word tummy when describing her marks says alot about how he really raised them. I bet they saw a softer side of him plenty while growing up...js
Old white dudes just talk like that. They grew up in the "showing emotions are bad" era. Saying "we wanted to do something for black people" is the white boomer equivalent of "black children in foster care are marginalized even moreso than they would be, and we wanted to lend our lives and love to help our Black brothers and sisters have a better shot at life than foster care could ever give them." It's like asking your parents to sign a birthday card. Mom will write a paragraph, dad will write "- dad" 😂
The adopted dad is from a time when black children were rarely adopted by anyone. The fact that he remembered her bruises clearly shows he has empathy for human life and he is making her aware he saved her from further abuse, harm, and neglect. ✨️✨️✨️✨️
Your dad is a nice man... you are one of the lucky ones. Not everybody got adopted into loving homes.
A beautiful blessed white man that spoke his truth and gave her and her brother a better life and that's what he wanted to do God bless him🙏
Let's just be clear. This now older woman would not be calling this man (Dad) if there wasn't mutual love there. She would be calling him Alan or Edgar of whatever his real name is and wouldn't be speaking so kindly to him or speaking to him at all seeing how she really doesn't need him in her life at her age. He gave her a much better life then being at a group home or bouncing between temporary families never knowing stability.
What a wonderful man! One of my old neighbors did the same thing - their daughter grew up to be an attorney !
I'm a 76 yr. old white lady and I love this. My Mom and Dad wanted more children but Mom couldn't have them. I doubt they would have let a white family adopt a black child then but she always said it wouldn't matter to her or Dad, because love is blind, and color is only skin deep. She also was the 8th of 10 children and never remembered being told, "I love you, or you are pretty" , and if they could have adopted any child, she would want the most homely looking child there and spend the rest of her life telling them how pretty they were. no matter what color or sex
Just to be out of foster care into a home by a loving family is good.
How can people call this man any bad words? He adopted them because he wanted to. At the end of the day it wasn’t I’m sure about the money. Taking them to school helping them with everyday life things. Nobody is asking why did the kids really family not take them in. Why did they go to foster care in the first place. This man is of age and he’s done something good as human.
why is this heartbreaking? look how old this gentleman is. he's saying what he felt in his heart he wanted to do something for the black community so rather than leaving a child in foster care he and his wife adopted not one but two foster children from Foster Care the parents happened to be Caucasian and they wanted to help the black community. why is that heartbreaking?
He may not sound sweet & loving to most but he does to me…gave me tears of joy and I’m glad he gave she & Fred a stable home🌸💕
He saw a problem, especially with innocent minority children and instead of talking? stepped up and did something about it
he didn't want yous to be abused by foster families ,so he adopted you. He loved yous for that reason
you can tell he adopted those children because he cares and did want them to have a better life
He is a good man. To have adopted her and her brother. Their are some foster care parents who do not do or treat the child right. She was fortunate that a loving couple decided to adopt her and her brother.
Well foster people are still paid and most do it for the money which is disgusting! I'm glad you were adopted because you were wanted! ❤️
He loves them. Why you upset. Count your lucky stars 💕
I didn’t think he meant any hurtful or harmful.
it's just him telling you the truth i couldn't be mad at him as much as the disappointment from the parents that had me
buddy said nothing wrong. . actually he really said because I cared and I thought if I didn't you'd get left to someone who didn't care
one man's trash is another man's treasure is not a good way to tell someone their adopted
That man told her the truth, and there ain’t nothing wrong with the truth
she seems to have turned out alright. the man was trying to do something good for 2 babies. he's just not good at articulating his love.
People think his response is heartbreaking 💔. But it’s not……..what he really said is that, because of those “tummy” marks you would have left without a family❣️ Ge didn’t want that for them❣️Sometimes people are not so great at expressing themselves. In fact he’s saying “I loved you too much to leave you”❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Well, White folks don't really know who to show compassion but, because he actually adopted both of them says alot abt his compassion. That's what all children want in foster care is to adopted by a family. God bless his soul👍
Honestly I think he meant well and his deliverance was a little off. He old and to adopt not one but two kids is commendable. Sometimes we as people look at racism and have our own opinions and views that each time the opposite color says the slightest thing that we don't agree with we just automatically say its racist. But we all know when you talking with the elders sometimes they just say what there thinking without looking at how it may be received from an outsider looking in.
What gets me is when ppl get mad about HONEST answers. Right or wrong, that's his truth. U asked, he answered.
What marks on her tummy and neck would he be referring to?
A person that age made their point through actions and not words. He knew the positivity of such. Point blank. The woman knows he loved her no matter what.
she asked and he told her truthfully. I call that love💕
Now that's empathy. God bless you sir. 🙏🏾
WELL?. HE COULD'VE SAID BECAUSE I LOVED YOU?.
WOW
Did she have a good life with him then she should shut up
For those of you who choose to judge and assume before actually thinking first. His generation was different. Men were taught that feeling and showing softness was a bad thing. It was literally considered sissy and weak. Likewise, he came from the true a man's word and firm handshake was everything. His honesty was Blount. But honest just the same. But his behaviors spoke volumes to the love and big heart he has. Remember, actions speak much louder than words.🤔👍🙏💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰
Looks like he has COPD and is a little emotional about the conversation with his daughter.🥰
Is she trying to point him in a negative light? They wanted to adopt babies to have in their family. His point was you weren’t perfect and he knew people wouldn’t choose you but he did. He wanted the unwanted ones amongst the unwanted ones. I think some gratitude is in order.
Honesty idc that fact he is honest thank u white man
The gentleman could have not been more sincere he adopted them cause he wanted to do something good for Black people maybe he didn’t phrase it too well kind of funny and shocking to her of course but he did a great thing. He gave him a good life and most important he’s down to earth and his truthful. It is what it is and I’m sending him a big hug. Adopt me Papi Shazam.💕
Even though his honesty was painful to hear...it seems he has an empathetic heart, and his motives were precious.
He adopted two children that weren't getting adopted. I wonder what he meant about marks on her belly and neck. 🤔He mentioned that foster families would adopted but only cared about the money, not the children. It sounds like he saved two lives from being in horrible situations. The way he speaks does not change the love in his heart.
Obviously cared about you he definitely loved you! His heart is in the right place. Forgive his words as he is an elder now. Show respect 🫡 this man loves you.
He adopted her and she instantly had a home. He said nothing wrong and told the truth with his words and deeds .
atleast he's being honest and doesn't lie to her.🥰
that's my white daddy
now do you still have those marking right now on you that would be something interesting as well to the story
🥺👏🏼🗣️ GO DAD🫡
The fact he spent the money to adopt which even then was 10’s of thousands of dollars to go through the process and choose to adopt not 1 but 2 black babies is absolutely amazing that man gave her a life she would have not had otherwise not to mention the possibility of serious abuse if they would have gone through foster care he’s in his 80’s and talks with the language of his age but the fact she calls that man dad should tell everyone he did the job of a farther god bless you sir
The way the daughter is speaking to the father, makes me wonder if the father’s mental capacity is diminished
🥰He saved her from having the hard life the foster care system. Much respect, sir.🥰😊
Sweet! I wish there was more people like him. I have three grandchildren that were adopted and I wouldn't trade for a minute!
God bless🙏🌸💕
Some of the most thoughtful male mentors in my life have been old wise white men. Taught me how to shake hands respectfully. Taught me how to recognize and protect myself when someone is in fight mode.
He adopted them because he wanted them to have a better life than the Foster care system offered . That doesn't translate to anything racist or unloving. Unless you are racist.
in short to give a better life during the times
You can tell how caring the woman is through how she talks to him and how tender she is. That was something that was instilled into her by loving parents. she wouldn't give him the time of day if he didn't give her a good childhood. Great story.
not just one but two kids god bless that man whether still here or on the otherside.
He adopted the ones who would be less “Fortunate “. Back then more than today people adopt their race and no imperfections. It’s not fair but it is what it is. I’m sure he loves you very much
I love this is fantastic. I wish I got adopted.
I fostered for many years and I am proud of the kids that me and my wife welcomed to our home.
Just thank him
Sad
that's an old school as blue collar man who doesn't understand how to filter his thoughts into a world that takes every last thing someone says and dissects it...he loved you and cared about you but he was raised with way less empathy than you got...kiss that man on the cheek and make sure he's taken care of just like you were
looks like he's got some pain going on?
