When Andrew was 6 years old, a judge decided that his parents could no longer take care of him. So he was placed in foster care. His brothers and sisters were eventually adopted, but Andrew remained alone. When he turned ten, he finally arrived in the home of Dominique and Kevin Gill in Nashville, Tennessee. Dominique said, "During his first week with us, he sat in his room with the door closed and looked at old pictures. He didn't want to talk."
Andrew was full of hurt, and pushed people away. He yelled, "Just let me move out!" But Dominique refused to give up on him. She softly told him, "We are going to get you together." Over time, Andrew was able to control his emotions. Everything changed when Dominique and Kevin's son Joc asked Andrew a question. Joc said, "Do you want to play video games?" Andrew nodded and from that moment on something beautiful happened.
When Dominique and Kevin saw how close the boys had grown, they asked Andrew a life-changing question in 2020. They asked him if he would be their son. Andrew burst into tears and said, "Yes. Thank you for accepting me. Thank you for not giving up on me." Every child deserves a family that truly loves them.
