Family Fostered a 12-Year-Old Boy That Nobody Wants – But Soon They Realized Who He Really Is
According to recent data, there are approximately 424,000 children in foster care across the United States, with nearly 8,000 waiting to be reunited with their families or find a forever home in Tennessee alone. Sadly, the state has fewer than 4,000 foster families, leaving many children without the loving homes they deserve. Among these children was Andrew, a 12-year-old boy from Nashville. After spending half of his life moving from one family to another, he finally found a special foster family—the Gills.
Kevin and Dominique Gill, who already had a son named Joc, welcomed Andrew into their home. Joc and Andrew quickly became fast friends, spending their days playing games, going for walks, and having a lot of fun together. Recognizing the strong bond between the boys, Kevin and Dominique decided to file for adoption, making Andrew an official member of their family.
Andrew was unaware that his life was about to change forever. One day, while walking in the park with Molly Parker, an employee at Youth Villages, he was surprised with the news that his foster parents were adopting him. Overjoyed, Andrew eagerly agreed to become a permanent part of the Gill family.
