Adopted Quarterback Colin Kaepernick Says He Already Won

I just love this story.

We all just watched the Super Bowl and quarterback Colin Kaepernick lead his San Francisco 49ers to the game of the year.

In spite that wacky power failure, it was a great game.

But what I love is Kaepernick saying that the best thing that ever happened to him was being adopted.

Before the big event, he told Dan Marino of CBS that being adopted was “the greatest blessing of my entire life.”

Live Action News reports:

Kaepernick’s birth mother was a 19-year-old young woman who wanted the best for her son but knew that she was not the one who could give it to him. She searched for adoptive parents who would be able to love her son, provide him with siblings, take care of him financially, and expose him to her love for sports. She found the perfect match in Rick and Teresa Kaepernick when Colin was 5 weeks old. The couple, who had two healthy children and had tragically lost two sons to complications related to heart defects, were seeking to adopt a son. Colin completed their family, and his birth mother could take heart knowing that her son would grow up with everything she had wanted for him.

Like Michael Oher, who played against him in the Super Bowl for the victorious Ravens (and hugged his mom after) and was the subject of The Blind Side, Kaepernick’s story is a story of love and life.

And those are the kind of stories we should celebrate, right?
