12-year-old boy’s dream comes true after he’s adopted by his best friend’s family – congratulations, Andrew

Growing up in a loving and friendly home is something that many of us take for granted.

I wasn’t even aware until I reached a certain age that not every child was blessed with parents who genuinely cared about them.

Of fact, millions of kids around the world do not have access to a cozy and caring environment. One 12-year-old child from Nashville, Tennessee, named Andrew is fully aware of that.

He has reportedly spent almost half of his short life in foster care. Well, his luck recently changed when he was adopted.

Another youngster named Joc Gill from the family who has been Andrew’s foster family for a while was already a close buddy of his.

It’s obvious that the two guys have become close friends because they enjoy eating pop tarts and playing video games together. Kevin and Dominique Gill, Joc’s parents, have always cherished having Andrew around.

You can only imagine Andrew’s joy and astonishment when, while walking in the park with Molly Parker, a Youth Villages employee, he learned that the Gills had decided to adopt him.

Andrew remarked, “I just turned around the corner and saw everyone.

“They questioned, “Will you? and I responded “Yeah!”

According to statistics, there are over 8,000 children in the Tennessee Foster System that are looking for a permanent home. Thankfully, thanks to the Gills’ generosity and compassion, there is one less.

Andrew said, “This is my brother, Joc.”

Joc said, “This is my brother, Andrew.
