  • What a sweet and humble man! I'd be proud to have a son like you.

  • I don't think one could recommend this video too highly. Shane's capacity to reflect on his experiences and talk about them so powerfully is very impressive.

  • I am awestruck at the wonderful man he appears to me. He's right...anyone would be proud to call him "Son". He could choose any number of parents if he wanted to consider adult adoption now a days! Bless him.

  • Uh-uh-uh-unbelievable.........­.... I'm heading down to my local foster care agency FIRST THING Monday morning to become a mentor.

  • Yes. A wonderful video.

  • Shane you are a strong and amazing yet humble and eloquent individual. You make me proud and I have never met you- thank you for your bravery and strength.

  • Today, I was looking at bios of older children looking to be adopted. I watched a video of a young man and it lead me to your video. Your video so moved me, it's really made up my mind about adopting. I've always intended on adopting, but now I know it needs to happen sooner rather than later. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

  • @pajamasmith GOOD MAN
