At
the young age of 14, Campbell was about to experience a particularly emotional
event: going on stage to sing in front of a crowd of spectators on America's
Got Talent. But not only that; what he was about to sing was known to bring him
to tears.
Campbell
was adopted when he was a baby. His mother already had three children and could
not afford to feed and bring up a fourth. So she made the difficult decision to
put her last-born child up for adoption.
This
is how Campbell came to be raised by two dads. As for any teasing he had to
endure at school, he dealt with it knowing he could not be more loved by his
parents, commenting about their relationship, "As I was adopted as a baby,
for me, having two fathers is perfectly normal."
But
something was missing from his life: he never knew his mother and dreamed of
meeting her one day. The singing competition was an opportunity for him to
express his inner feelings and make her proud of him.
When
he sang the first notes, the entire audience gasped. There are no words to
describe what goes on here. Have a look for yourself:
The
lyrics certainly pull at your heart strings:
"I
have died every day waiting for you,
Darling
don't be afraid,
I
have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll
love you for a thousand more."
Campbell
was lucky enough to be adopted by parents who never criticized his mother for
placing him for adoption. Instead, the teenager came to understand her decision
and even learned to be grateful for it.
He
has not an ounce of hard feelings to tarnish his image of his biological
mother. He loves her dearly and just hopes to meet her one day.
Wherever
she is, she must feel proud and relieved to see what's become of her son. Not
for participating in a televised singing competition, but for the emotional
maturity he demonstrated. In any case, his dads embraced him with tears in
their eyes, and are infinitely proud of him.
They
gave him the unconditional love that he draws strength from. A fine example of
family and of love between fathers and sons.

He is such a lucky man because two men adopted him with no hesitation and loved him with all their heart. Such stories and the other ones from trust my paper review really makes me cry and realized how lucky we are to have a complete family.
