There are hundreds of thousands of children who end up in foster care. Growing up without your parents is difficult enough on its own.

Most children growing up in the foster system have one dream: to find a family of their own.

Unfortunately, for a large number of kids, this never happens.

It has been estimated that every year, around 20,000 children age out of the foster system. This means that they are left alone to build a life from scratch.

This was the reality that Seth Miller was faced with a few years back when he became an adult officially, which meant he couldn’t count on the foster care system anymore.

Seth, who had been put up for adoption as a toddler and later went through a hurtful failed adoption in childhood, spent about a decade in unhappy foster homes.

This was until he became of age, which was when he realized he had nobody to turn to.

After aging out of foster care, Seth was living in his car.

All he wished for, was a proper family to call his own.

And, magically, a series of events started happening that would change Seth’s life forever.

The Hunt family had adopted Seth’s biological sister, Shyann Hunt.

At first, they were hesitant to meet Seth, but then they decided that fear should not hold them back, and made the bold move.

Soon after the reunion, the Hunts, who already had a large family including two daughters and a son still living at home at the time, invited Seth to move in with them.

One year later, the Hunts officially adopted Seth.

Seth, the Hunt family, and a few people who love them gathered in a Collin County courtroom. That’s where they all became a family under the law.
