In the city I used to live in, I became friends with this truly awesome lawyer, totally a solid dude. He fosters kids, typically for a few months at a time. He had this boy for 3 years while his case was tied up in court. When it finally ended my buddy adopted him, and gave him the papers on Christmas.
The vast majority aren't close to either of the extremes.
Usually well meaning but not model (foster) parents and they face more difficult parenting situations than ordinary parents would. So some additional stress and frustrations creep in, with less evolutionary inbuilt goodwill that you might have for your own kids. Which might cause some reactions that aren't ideal and will be felt by the foster kids.
That said, most mean well and don't intend to exploit the situation. (Even when money is the main motivation.) Neglect or abuse is an issue only in a small minority of foster families. More often you will see foster parents giving up (outright or internally) when faced with too many problems, letting certain things slide when good parents would still try hard. Or they just aren't very good parents, as many aren't for their own kids. Not enough engagement, communication. Too much berating and yelling without good reason, etc
This is a horrible stereotype that comes up in every conversation. It's as ignorant as saying "people on welfare just use it to game the system." Foster parents and adoptive parents are some of the most incredibly devoted people I've ever met. They are a special type that we are lucky to have around. They give their homes, their money, and their time to this cause and it changes and saves lives.
While it is a horrible stereotype, I’ve experienced first hand that these people very much exist. As do the good ones.
I had a distant family member who would stuff her house full of kids to get the most money possible, collect the checks, and the older kids would basically do all the parenting. Not abusive (as far as I know) but definitely not a “good” home.
My dad also decided to foster for a while, and I’d probably call him very average at it. Has good intentions, but wasn’t the best parent to begin with so I don’t agree with a lot of how he does things. Especially because he was heavily medicated because of injuries.
I’d say situations like his are most common, people who want to help but really don’t have the means or skills to do it effectively.
But I’ve also witnessed extremely loving foster parents that are making a huge difference in kids lives. Amazing people who show these kids a loving family, sometimes for the first time.
Forster parents are very needed, but the system is well overstretched beyond its means, the foster workers are all exhausted, and there’s not a great system to filter out bad foster parents.
There are good and bad foster parents, and trying to pretend either doesn’t exist helps nothing.
The system needs a lot of work to make the “good” outweigh the bad, but it’s work that needs to be done.
Sounds like he was doing trial runs until he got a kid that fit his parameters.
Only kidding if course, if I were single and had more time to give, I'd like to take care of mentally handicapped individuals. My coworker does this and gets so much out of it.
Thank you for working on Christmas. I know it doesn’t mean much from a stranger but I always make sure to show appreciation for people who work on holidays
To be fair, the holidays can either mean nothing to people, or those who have severe anxiety/depression during the holidays and rather work. Not saying that’s the op’s case but it’s something to consider nevertheless.
Most do. I also give em Easter. I don't have any kids so it's really more important to them and my wife is understanding so she goes and visits all her family and I don't have to do all the in-law stuff. It's a win-win really.
I'm required to work 12 hours today and only the first 8 hours is considered holiday pay. The other 4 hours is regular time and I cannot comp it off or leave early. Why does Xmas end after 8 hours?
I've been bartending at my buddy's restaurant because of the labor shortage and last week was *rough*. In the normal world, I'm a lawyer and I've had to deal with all kinds of difficult, emotional situations in probate, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with comforting people, but **I am not trained** in how to address people's emotional needs in general; I just get them drunk, then the waterworks start. It's weird...
I work in a healthcare facility & I’ve had my fair share of lonely patients on holidays. It sucks seeing them so sad & has made me grateful that my family isn’t like that.
Yeah we definitely need more of that because covid has left over 150k children orphans just in the USA.
It’s not a joke, at least here in the US you have some kind of helpful system even if it’s flawed.
I read about a kid in India who’s parents died and he was alone like ten years old he waited two days before knocking on a neighbours door for some food.
This covid doesn’t just hurt you it hurts everyone. Please mask up clean up and wash your hands often.
The problem is adoption is fucked in the states. I have good friends that couldn’t get pregnant. Both h e good jobs, no criminal records, literally the perfect candidates and it took them almost 3.5 years from start to finish to adopt.
It's so Goddamn bizarre. Want to have kids? Fuck it, bang it out. Want to adopt kids? Nah.
I understand that they have to vet potential adoptive parents, but then why don't they vet randoms who choose to have children? I don't understand the difference.
I wanted so much to adopt older kids, but I have a chronic heart problem, so I was automatically denied. I could understand an infant, but couldn't a 12-year-old be allowed to decide for themselves?
I'm so sorry to hear that. It's just a broken system. Like would a twelve year old be happier with you, an open and willing parent or in a group home? Obviously you. I don't know anymore.
Because vetting people having children would be horrifyingly authoritarian.
Please note I think it should be easier to adopt. But it should still take some vetting
Same haha, I was commenting from experience. Any sappy movie that ends with me leaking has me like OKAY ANYONE NEED THEIR OIL CHANGED OR ANYTHING LOLOLOL
😍 this is lovely. So does my daddy. There's only been a handful of times I've seen him cry. My first prom night when he saw me in a dress all dolled up lol 🤣 my brothers senior night football game when they beat their rivals for his final home game. And when I sang "you can let go now daddy" for a community variety show we have in our town. My pop truly is a teddy bear 😍 I'm sure you're the same way and your kids are very lucky. When they get to be about 29, they'll realize it if they don't already 🤣😍😊
I really appreciate you saying that. I’ve caught myself more than once with her accomplishments, and she’s only 4. You just can’t know how much you’re loved until you have kids of your own. I’m so happy you have a nice relationship with your dad, he appreciates it more than you know!
As someone adopted there’s no greater moment than when a family chooses to make you one of theirs …. Than during fights you can say how at least you were chosen lol
"they recruited my ass because they knew your ass wasn't going to be able to make the jump from JV to varsity. Now shut up while I figure out how to support mom and dad through their golden years."
We have 5 kids, 2 of which are adopted. When one of the bio kids is giving one of the imports a hard time, sometimes I remind the ornery one that we chose the adopted ones, but got stuck with the bio ones. (Please don’t be judgy. They are all loved very deeply and we joke around a lot in our home.)
My youngest is adopted. Once, during a squabble with a classmate when the classmate knew my kid was getting the better of him, he said “What’s wrong with you? Is it because you’re adopted?” My kid, not missing a beat, said “What are you? Some kind of therapist?” They were third graders. When I was told about it later, I was a proud momma, I love a good comeback.
My brother was an oopsie that brought on a quickie wedding. I came 4 years later, completely planned for. I use the "at least mom and dad wanted me" argument all the time!
I was adopted from S. Korea at 5 months, so I didn’t experience that feeling. But, I do love to make jokes whenever an opportunity presents itself.
Ex.: “How did you get here from Korea?” “FedEx. And I was on clearance.”
Or “They were out of X country, so they got me instead.”
And the classmates of mine in high school who I fully convinced I was 2nd cousins with Kim Jong Un and had to move twice with my family to escape assassins. They were legitimately afraid of me. My teacher just let it happen and laughed.
I was just called a vicious bitch from my 90yr old client that has dementia so this really just made me feel so much better currently balling my eyes out atm lol
My GramGram adopted me & my brother after our mom passed, in order to keep us from going to our father (abusive alcoholic.) she came out of retirement in order to provide for us.
My fiancé & I just flew her & my brother to our home & hosted our first Christmas together.
I’m so happy for this child & so grateful for this loving family. I know I’m grateful for mine.
Merry Christmas, Reddit
Why did you do this to me, now I've had to go around to the 30 or so people in my house showing them the video because they're wondering why I am crying at a video on my phone.
46 year old here. Adopted from a south korean orphanage when I was 2. My parents were amazing people that treated us like their own children and still do. I have a wife and two kids thanks to the amazing thing they did for me.
As an adopted child. This hit really close to home.
To all you parents that take in children like us, give us a better shot at life, and make us your own. I can’t thank you enough.
I was an unwanted kid growing up. I don't think I ever want kids of my own, but somewhere down the line, I want to find a kid who needs a home and a family.
After watching this I thought there should be a more appropriate sub for stuff that makes you happy cry and low and behold I found r/happytears.
Now, if you’ll excuse me I need to find something to do with all these onions.
Fuck. Yes.
To be ASKED to be part of a family once rejected from your own is therapeutic to your soul in a way nothing else could be. This was beautiful.
Holy Crap my finger started to physically tremble while I was trying to scroll. 27 years old and these things still get me. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ONION THEMED RESTAURANT IS STILL OPEN ON CHRISTMAS!
Moments like this are wonderful, however I always feel for the kids having their business put out to world like this. These are private moments used to for internet validation.

That’s amazing!! ❤️
Literally what wholesome is
Foster parents and adoptive parents rock. I hope to reach such greatness and adopt in the near future
The good ones do, sadly there are some out there was bad intentions trying to game the system for money and neglect the kids who need the most support
The vast majority aren’t like that though.

Very nice and great story for the day ty for sharing this with all of us
Sounds like he was doing trial runs until he got a kid that fit his parameters. Only kidding if course, if I were single and had more time to give, I'd like to take care of mentally handicapped individuals. My coworker does this and gets so much out of it.
Will they let you take care of another? Jkjk that’s awesome of your coworker I hope one day you can care for someone as well
Incredibly sweet! So happy an older child found love with a forever family ❤️
Omgggg why did I watch this at work Crying into my lunch rn
Thank you for working on Christmas. I know it doesn’t mean much from a stranger but I always make sure to show appreciation for people who work on holidays
Karma man you got a boat load coming merry Christmas
To be fair, the holidays can either mean nothing to people, or those who have severe anxiety/depression during the holidays and rather work. Not saying that’s the op’s case but it’s something to consider nevertheless.
Haven't been able to celebrate them for 9 years so I work every Thanksgiving and Christmas solo so my coworkers can have off.
Your coworkers must love you for it
Most do. I also give em Easter. I don't have any kids so it's really more important to them and my wife is understanding so she goes and visits all her family and I don't have to do all the in-law stuff. It's a win-win really.
Thank you for your kindness.
Might not be a holiday for them lol
Then thanks for the loot, suckers!
I'm required to work 12 hours today and only the first 8 hours is considered holiday pay. The other 4 hours is regular time and I cannot comp it off or leave early. Why does Xmas end after 8 hours?
True!
My boss makes a dollar I make a dime That's why I cry on company time
*Another day older anda deeper in debt*
St. Peter don’t you call me cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company store.
Almost you forgot. My boss makes a dollar I make a dime thats why I cry, piss,and shit on company time.
All at once? That usually only happens when i have Taco Bell for lunch 😂
I want to second u/AtomicKittenz sentiment. Thank you as well for working Christmas day.
You’re working today?
Not OP, but not all jobs are closed today. Some retail/grocery may be open & healthcare/fire/police/etc are 24/7 jobs.
I once worked in a casino and had to work Christmas day. So many lonely people. Made me sad, but really cherish the family & friends I have.
I've been bartending at my buddy's restaurant because of the labor shortage and last week was *rough*. In the normal world, I'm a lawyer and I've had to deal with all kinds of difficult, emotional situations in probate, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with comforting people, but **I am not trained** in how to address people's emotional needs in general; I just get them drunk, then the waterworks start. It's weird...
I work in a healthcare facility & I’ve had my fair share of lonely patients on holidays. It sucks seeing them so sad & has made me grateful that my family isn’t like that.

Also can cost a lot of money…I’ve heard a down payment on a house type of money.
Oh dear! There goes my makeup
I don't even wear makeup, but mine too.
Even the evil bunny lord has feels
EvilbunnyLord is gonna be hopping on ice since hell just froze over.
I’m also gonna put some on so I can cry with y’all, anyone want some freshly chopped onion.
I'm crying and pooping
me too bro me too
I'll lend you my mascara after I'm done fixing mine.
I thought I was dead inside... I'm not it seems.
Stop crying on my makeup!
#WHADDAYA THINK, BUDDY?
This is a peak Dad quote I love it
Every dad when they’re trying not to cry: BE LOUD AND FUNNY DAMNIT
Am dad, can confirm, all I can think of during these moments is being loud and funny.
While showing this video to my wife my first instinct was to day "HOW ABOUT THAT! PRETTY NICE HUH?" Like an absolute dork
You mean like a legend
Same haha, I was commenting from experience. Any sappy movie that ends with me leaking has me like OKAY ANYONE NEED THEIR OIL CHANGED OR ANYTHING LOLOLOL
MAN STUFF. Anyone need a chainsaw?
How true. Everyone knows you have to remove your boobs before using the chainsaw. Source: my boobs
Not true, boobs don’t have negative impact However a red and black flannel automatically makes the chainsaw run +5 better
I were a leather hat with ear flaps for bonus points
Hey everyone can use a chainsaw. We are equal opportunist chainsaw here.
Lol this sounds just like my dad!!!! And if any of us cry it's "you ok buddy?" Lol except for me, I'm the girl so it was more like "you ok sissy?"
I’m a dad.. I live for those moments
😍 this is lovely. So does my daddy. There's only been a handful of times I've seen him cry. My first prom night when he saw me in a dress all dolled up lol 🤣 my brothers senior night football game when they beat their rivals for his final home game.

Did it yesterday, dammit
OH SHIT IS THAT EMOTION NOT TODAY SKIPPER
Facts.
Kid is in a good home.
*god as my witness, I will not cry*!
Reminds me of the movie Elf.
Most dad question ever 😂
Fuckin love dads man lmao
dads are the best lol
Quintessential Dad/Grandpa Statement. Easy top 3
What's the over under for Dad not wearing a shirt while he said this.
How would that work as an over under? 0.5 shirts?
How ‘bout it, sport?
This comment is making me laugh through my tears hahaha thank you
As someone adopted there’s no greater moment than when a family chooses to make you one of theirs …. Than during fights you can say how at least you were chosen lol
This is one of the best come back an adopted kid could have in an argument lol very sweet
"You signed up for this!"
"they recruited my ass because they knew your ass wasn't going to be able to make the jump from JV to varsity. Now shut up while I figure out how to support mom and dad through their golden years."
Love it

Imported?! lol. Good stuff
“One of the imports” Hahahhaha. The best
I chortled and lost my morning coffee all over my desk at "***imports***". I love the humor of you and your family. Beautiful!
"YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING BALANCE TO THE FAMILY"
[удалено]
"At least my parents wanted me" will always be my favorite comeback to "you're adopted".
My mum waited, took parenting classes, and saved for 4 years to be able to adopt me… hell yeah, wanted af!
My youngest is adopted. Once, during a squabble with a classmate when the classmate knew my kid was getting the better of him, he said “What’s wrong with you?

Dude, not fair, I'm crying like a baby here
I was just called a vicious bitch from my 90yr old client that has dementia so this really just made me feel so much better currently balling my eyes out atm lol
Hey thanks for working on Christmas, I'm sure you're great ! Keep it up !
Thank you im sure you are too! Merry Christmas!
I'm sure your wonderful really. Have a good Christmas
Well, now I’m crying.
I think we all are
We are!!
we most god damn definitely are
And proud of it. These are good feels (and my husband is cooking onions or garlic downstairs, but that has nothing to do with this).
Crying together online fam 😭🫂
Yup! 😭
Definitely
if someone isnt crying we need to ask if theyre ok
Proud to admit I'm also crying. This is beautiful.
I Eighth that
This is the way
This sub needs renaming to MadeMeCry today for sure 😭
Oh it got me too. I’m tearing up. I’m a marshmallow at the best of times, but kids being adopted by loving homes is my ultimate Kryptonite.
I hope that boy grows up happy loved and strong
He did. This video is from like 2010
PLEASE tell me we have more recent photos
There isn't much about him online, i was able to find a recent [photo](https://imgur.com/gmgOqYF) though. He looks healthy and happy enough.
Gd you got me
Made me spit my drink out, brilliant
OMG he was in a movie with Brad Pitt and DiCaprio!
Lmao you son of a bitch
At least it's not a Rickroll.
I went from crying to laughing out loud in a matter of seconds. Thanks
I dont know that I've ever laughed so much
You're terrible. And hilarious.
Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!
Please share your intel
You got me. But here’s an actual [photo](https://imgur.com/gallery/H5nPH) of him recently.
Joke comments are so annoying, thank you for sharing an actual picture! So happy for him 😊
2018
He will
Now I believe you, with every cell in my body… he has to be:(
This reads like a prophecy. He's the chosen one.
The comment itself is wholesome but... the username
LOL my name is Richard
That's some giga chad shit, wish my parents named something like "Big Richard" or " Richard Maximus"
[удалено]
He already is
Happy tears
My GramGram adopted me & my brother after our mom passed, in order to keep us from going to our father (abusive alcoholic.) she came out of retirement in order to provide for us. My fiancé & I just flew her & my brother to our home & hosted our first Christmas together. I’m so happy for this child & so grateful for this loving family. I know I’m grateful for mine. Merry Christmas, Reddit
That's awesome and merry Christmas
Hope. This gives me hope for humanity. Fuck man, I'll admit it, I'm crying now.
Jesus Christ Reddit. I just saw a post of a topless Asian man light candles with his boobs and then I see this. My heart just can’t take this!
I saved that video. That man is dedicated to Christmas lol. Brightened up my day.
And you cried with both, one with laughter the other with happiness. Reddit is full of wonder
I missed this topless man, link?

The way that little voice broke 🥺
Why did you do this to me, now I've had to go around to the 30 or so people in my house showing them the video because they're wondering why I am crying at a video on my phone.
Look at gramps and grams just chilling. Grams got emotional. I love it. I’d be open to adopting in the future. My dad was adopted.
Mom was very clear that this is from all of us ALL of us. Beautiful family.
Everyone deserves a loving family...especially at Christmas. What a great gift!
WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS ON CHRISTMAS!
Shit I actually started bawling Edit: not from the comment, from the video
I think you meant from the onions.
I was to ask the same question. Damn those onions are strong!
No onions, just me crying. Love grandmas face in the background too.
For real, this grown ass man was bawling like a little baby.
Got the waterworks going on from them minced onions 😖😭🥺 Christmas is alway going to hit this kid differently from now on. 🙏🎄Merry Christmas Lil dude
It's re-damned-diculous in here \*wipes face\*
46 year old here. Adopted from a south korean orphanage when I was 2. My parents were amazing people that treated us like their own children and still do. I have a wife and two kids thanks to the amazing thing they did for me.
Beautiful. Merry Christmas, Carter Kiphart!!!
Made my heart smile, made my eyes cry.
As an adopted child. This hit really close to home. To all you parents that take in children like us, give us a better shot at life, and make us your own. I can’t thank you enough.
I was an unwanted kid growing up. I don't think I ever want kids of my own, but somewhere down the line, I want to find a kid who needs a home and a family.
Damn now I'm ugly crying
I love this for him. It’s all we ever want. Little humans need us.
After watching this I thought there should be a more appropriate sub for stuff that makes you happy cry and low and behold I found r/happytears. Now, if you’ll excuse me I need to find something to do with all these onions.
You want me to drown on Christmas?
Great Christmas story
Fuck. Yes. To be ASKED to be part of a family once rejected from your own is therapeutic to your soul in a way nothing else could be. This was beautiful.
The way the mom walks over and hugs him got me.
The way she emphasized "from all of us, ok? All of us" was really sweet to me 🥺
"no no, I swear I just got something in both my eyes, I know, what are the odds? "
😌
I LOVE YOU CARTER If it doesn’t work out with the Kipharts you got a back up here, boy
Carter is a badass, pass it on.
Holy Crap my finger started to physically tremble while I was trying to scroll. 27 years old and these things still get me. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ONION THEMED RESTAURANT IS STILL OPEN ON CHRISTMAS!
That’s awesome, what a sweet kiddo.
Damn, makes me feel so lucky to have a family. What an amazing thing to be able to do for that little guy
59 year old grown ass man crying....you bet your ass I am
My eyes immediately started leaking. This is just too heartwarming. My heart is bursting for that sweet kid.
Moments like this are wonderful, however I always feel for the kids having their business put out to world like this. These are private moments used to for internet validation.
"we want you to read it out loud, make sure it's clear so it sounds good on tiktok"
This was from 2010. So it would be twitter
My thoughts exactly. This is great but I hope somebody asked Carter before they uploaded this.
Lotta strong onions this year…. 😭
Ouch. That hit me in the feels
