Emotional Scene as Teen Asks Stepdad to Adopt Him for His Birthday

A mother captured the heartwarming moment her son asked his stepdad to adopt him in Seattle, Washington.

Stephanie said she filmed this video on May 1, showing her son Omar asking his stepfather, Mario, to adopt him.

Mario then hugs his stepson, overcome with emotion.

“My husband Mario has been in my Omar’s life since he was four years old. Mario knew I came with kids and didn’t care. He was in for the ride regardless of what anyone had to say,” Stephanie said.

“This year for my husband’s birthday, Omar asked Mario to adopt him like his own,” she wrote in the video. Credit: Stephanie via Storyful
