Andrew, 12, spent most of his childhood in foster care, until he met Joc. What started as a simple friendship over video games and after-school snacks turned into something life changing

Joc’s family grew to love Andrew like their own. And one day, they asked the question that would change everything: Would you like to join our family?

Andrew said yes, and now the two proudly call each other brothers. Sometimes, family isn’t about blood. It’s about love, laughter, and the people who choose you.
