Daniel’s Journey from Neglect to Foster Care and Adoption

Daniel delivers a powerful message for all foster kids to maintain hope and know they can eventually write their own stories.  He describes years of neglect before he was left on his own and entered foster care at age 7.  He tells of a life-saving surgery at age 11 and the pain of learning that his biological mother didn't want to keep him.  After living with the same foster family for years, he was legally adopted at the age of 14.  Daniel describes his plans to join the Army and earn his wings, with gratitude for the foster parent who took him in and nurtured his growth.
