Along the way, Alex lost trust in adults, and it’s hard to blame him for feeling that way because we know that he just wanted a family who’ll love and keep him for good.

A Couple Heard His Story

A couple from Oregon named Jenny and Stephen Madkour heard Alex’s story from Jeff Gianola’s Wednesday Child. Right after this, they connected with the boy and they felt something special about him.

Jenny said, “Anybody who’s seen that video of Alex, his core awesome comes out in that video. It was such a great thing, the way Jeff Gianola talked to him and Alex’s interaction with him, it really gave us a glimpse of who Alex is.”
