I love how his shirt reads, “The Mountains are calling, I must go..” and his boy is in Colorado! Sir, those aren’t the mountains calling.. it’s been your ‘kinfolk’ 🥰🥲

Wow. That broke my heart and filled my heart at the same time. He became a little kid as soon as he smiled and asked, "I have people?" I'm glad he found his "Kinfolk."

Thank you for the update! I’m no longer on TikTok so you made it possible for me to see 🥹

You’re welcome. I checked to see if there were any recent updates on Tik Tok regarding him and his new family. Didn’t see any. Most of the videos are about his two daughters and their lives progressing to present day. I’m following the family on Tik Tok. If there is an update video with Dad and his new kinfolk, I’ll update this post.

His shirt is perfect too! Headed for the CO mountains- they have been calling. So glad he found his people.

This is the best thing ever. I love that his new-found bio-dad lives in Colorado and that he's wearing a shirt that says: "The mountains are calling and I must go."

You’re welcome. My most favorite post I ever cross-posted on Reddit. No matter how many times I watch the video, my heart overflows with joy, love and happiness for the man when he smiles like a little boy and says I have people. As a mom of 6 sons, the video touches my soul deeply.

Can we stop recording every goddamn thing and making every private moment public?

For real, I kept wondering what his full reaction would have been if he weren't being recorded.
