"Hello grandpa!": This encounter touches us deeply in the heart
What a beautiful happy ending for a little boy who really did not have an easy life in life: little Kirill from an orphanage in Kazakhstan finally has a family - and a grandpa who is just as special as he is.
For years, Kirill had a hard time: Because he was missing his right hand right from birth, he was always eyed by the other children, regarded as a nerd.
Adoptive parents saw in Kirill's handicap a sign
But then Doug and Lesley Facey went into the life of Kirill. Since 2012 they are planning an adoption, looking for a suitable child. When they hear from Kirill and see the little boy, everything fits. Because Doug reminds the boy to his father - he too was born without a right hand.
In an interview with Buzzfeed, Doug said, "How could we say no to this boy if I grew up with someone who is like him, and did not bother or somehow hold anything against him?"
Touching scene: Doug meets his new grandfather
It comes to adoption: Kirill, who has always been the outsider, is now in the center and has new parents. But the big moment was yet to come: At the airport Kirill met his new grandfather Chris.
And he handed the little boy the hand that they both do not have: Kirill was allowed to touch the stump, with his hacking, questioning Grandpa. Allen was there immediately: something very special is being created here! This relationship is one for life.
It's thanks to photographer Brian Scott that we, too, are invited to participate in this beautiful and inspiring moment - because he captured the scene and posted it on Twitter. We say thank you for this great insight!
