This was great seeing the itinerary of Pod's life from a street kid to a healthy looking young man! It had to be EXTREMELY rewarding to help Pod througout his life. I'd like nothing better than to do something like that myself.
What a nice story! My wife and I lived in Thailand for 6 1/2 years and "adopted" a rural Thai family who lost the father. The oldest son is as much our son as theirs. We opened doors for his education and he is now an graduate engineer, 27 and soon married. The best thing we have ever done was to help this boy and his family. So I appreciate this video more than most. We got back so much more than we gave. And one day we will have a beautiful Thai grandchild!
As you have found out it makes an incredible difference to help one of these kids to a better future and in your own case gain an unexpected family. On November 16th 'Pod' is getting married and I will be flying out from the UK to attend the wedding and to see as 'Pod' says my new 4 month old grandson. I bet you can't wait until your first Thai grandchild is born (-:
I wonder how many times Pod gets called iPod! Bet he gets sick of hearing that...LOL!!

A wonderful story and the people who held out their hands to help Pod are such beautiful people.
It has inspired me (and my Thai partner) to also do the same thing when we return to Thailand soon)

Whoever took the time and had the dedication to catalog the life of this child over 9 years should be congratulated. This is one beutiful story.
