Proud Stepson Gives Affirmative "Yes" To Judge In Adoption Hearing

A mom has shared the wholesome moment her proud son gave an affirmative "Yes" when a judge asked him if he would like to be adopted by his stepdad, who has been his father figure all his life. Kaiden Duncan, 10, from Minnesota, has always had stepdad Phil in his life, as Phil and Kaiden's mom, Michaela, have known each other since middle school. Around the time Michaela became pregnant, she had moved towards a new crowd of people – including Phil – and the pair grew close, hanging out almost every day. Michaela and Phil would call each other best friends, until, one day, another couple told Michaela that Phil had feelings for her, and the two of them became an item. Growing up, Kaiden didn’t know Phil was not his biological father, until the couple decided to tell him when he was seven years old. Kaiden said he wanted to be adopted by Phil, and so the family went through what they said was a very long process.
