The plight of children in the US foster system is often a silent struggle.

Many dream of finding a forever family, yet tragically, around 20,000 children each year age out of the system.

They face the world alone, without the support of a family.

Seth Miller’s story is a heartrending example of this reality.

After a childhood marred by a failed adoption and years in foster care, Seth found himself homeless at 18.

He described his life in stark terms: “Empty, alone, nowhere to kind of fit in… just an everyday kind of life, nothing really extraordinary to look forward to.”

However, Seth’s life was about to take an unexpected turn.

His court-appointed special advocate introduced him to Robert and Ara Hunt, who had adopted his biological sister, Shyann.

Despite initial reservations, the Hunts decided to meet Seth.

Ara Hunt reflected on this decision, saying, “When we let go of the fears, we found forever.”

A year later, the Hunts officially welcomed Seth into their family through adoption.

In a courtroom filled with their loved ones, they legally became a family.

Robert Hunt shared his feelings with the judge: “From the first time I saw the interview, I knew he was a part of our family. We’re just doing this to make it legal. He’s our son.”
