From the moment they met, Peter Mutabazi was aware that he would be Tony’s father. Their story is a moving journey about family and love.
Foster children can be left alone in the system for years and often face great vulnerability. But an unlikely hero is the reason this touching story has a happy ending.
Peter had a difficult childhood in Uganda, growing up in poverty and living on the streets. However, after being rescued and adopted by a caring family, he realized he was called to serve others and become a foster parent.
Peter made the decision in 2017 to become a foster family in Oklahoma. He went to a nearby agency because he was initially concerned that because he was single, he might not be a good candidate for the job.
He registered and completed the necessary training to become a foster parent despite this fear. Tony, a child whose previous adoptive parents had left him at the hospital, is the one he met there.
Peter believes they were meant to meet and would make an ideal father-son duo. The perfect pairing. A family that was going together was finally reunited at the end of this difficult and eventful journey.
When he announces this day, he is over the moon. He officially became a citizen of the United States. He exudes optimism, gratitude and pride.
After such a long journey, his happiness at home and in his heart is truly incomprehensible. Not only does he now hold a new citizenship, but he also has a son.
He praises his new child who, although only 13 years old, is extremely intelligent and cultured.
He adds that his son enjoys playing video games, riding bikes and traveling to new places and has a great sense of humor.
