    Peter is remarkable! He is there with no judgement for the mother. Sometimes we are judging the bio parents. Peter gave so much credit to the bio parent for Zay’s great accomplishment. Praising her and celebrating with her. This is truly the most humbling act. Congrats Zay

    Peter, this day was possible because of all that you contributed to Zay's life. Not trying to take away from anyone else, especially Zay's mom who brought him into this world. But you are the reason for this season being celebrated in Zay's life. And that's just the hard core truth. Congratulations to ALL of you. I can only imagine how different my life would have been had I had a father (or mother) like you to have raised me. Nonetheless, I'm grateful for being here. Blessings to all of you.

      Yes Mr. Peter is essential in Zay reaching this milestone. When Mr. Peter took Zay into his home, he was of the age when many students ruin their lives. Mr. Peter helped to save Zay from a life of destruction and worse.

    Congrats on graduating high school, Zay! I loved it when he called Peter 'Dad' - you've had a big affect on him and it shows! It's also beautiful to see that just because he went back to his bio family, you're still a big part of each other's lives and one big, extended family.

  • @CJMGalaxy
    @CJMGalaxy 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

    Love how supportive and encouraging of birth families and reunification you are, Peter. Blood does not make a family, love does, and the parents who lost their kids but still love them deserve to have a chance to be family. On another note, holy cow Zay's siblings look so much like him!
