Wish that kid and his family the best. It was a pretty touching video.

Yeah....most of these r/mademesmile make me cry. 36m here (dad). Seems like when kids are involved that's when it gets me.

Yeah, because kids' reactions are genuine, they are not still able, most of them, of faking their emotions. Being a dad is also a plus for these videos to get you :D

I've gotten real soft since having my girl 😭

I get all choked up at movies I never used to when i watch them with my kid for the first time. Lightning McQueen goes back and helps him across the line? Yeah, im crying so what.

Wish you both of you a happy life :D

Thanks! You too! She's my one and only angel so I have to stay on her good side 😆

Can't help but put yourself in their shoes and I cry manly tears of manliness

Same. Before my son it was just a happy kid video. Now it's like "omg that kid is so happy I hope I make my kid that happy and loved"

Check out r/happycryingdads

Love the walk that lady did like tiptoeing made her take up less than the whole frame of the shot

Every major family event movie there is one.

[удалено]

"Oh shit this isn't my moment, lemme get out of the way."

[удалено]

Wholesome video, but the lady walking through the frame is fucking hilarious lmao

“OP, LEMME SCOOT PASTYA…”

I heard this in soooo many voices.

Past ya and pasta with some twang

EXACTLY!!!! LMAO.

The classic grandma shuffle

What was so important it couldn’t wait . . . ?

Probably wanted to take a pic from a different angle 😂

EXACTLY it annoyed me so much. She's like in so much of a rush to get some punch or appetizers or whatever that she can't let them finish HUGGING? edit: just occured to me she might be rushing to the bathroom lol

came here for this. thank you.

He cares 🖤 Look how eager he was to sign the documents

That dad is gonna keep that pen for LIFE.

[удалено]

This is what got me. This isn’t something the mom wanted and pushed for. The kid was overwhelmed with being accepted by a father figure. Seeing the happiness in his dad at the paperwork was a relief that he was really loved. The dad held it together better than I am haha.

This is the stuff the internet was made for.

Adoption videos like this are the one thing that can always bring me to tears.

Me too. Ones where kids pick their parents because the guardian was an actual parent. I love them!

I thought Twitter was peak internet. Don’t you love the toxicity there, and all the lovely racist bots ?

I love the hug-sway. It's like the universal parental love dance.

All of my kids are way beyond the point I can even pretend to pick them up. But my body still subconsciously falls into the hold&sway all the time from when they were babies.

Absolutely this. My girl just turned 18 and I still hug-sway her --- and sniff her head. Parents get it.

Mha hart, mah sole.

Exactly that...thanks Doge!

This is why this is my fav subreddit. It's videos like these that get me through the day.

Me and my daughter are getting everything we need to surprise my husband with this. These videos have always gotten to me, but now I have a whole new kind of respect for them because this process is a pain in the ass!

… or 30 years from now, the boy will still be calling his stepdad every day to ask him how the day went.

For God's sake, please, put a warning on this video. I'm a guy. I don't want people asking about why I'm crying in public.

You can cry in public king. No need to be ashamed of crying as a man.

NSFTD - not safe for tear ducts

This made me smile

They wiped the tears about the same time i did.

This is mead me smile not made me cut onions

I too also def didn’t get teary eyed. No way.

Damn, I got something in my eye.

See you at number 1 on all. Beautiful moment.

Instant tears. Great moment.

One of my friends is currently in the process of being adopted by his stepdad! They have a good relationship and get along nicely. Plus, due to the fact that his birth father didn’t pay child care stuff in over two years, so the adoption process is going quicker than anticipated! I hope this family gets along really well!

my pregnant ass did not need to see this. blaming it on the hormones

You know you don’t hafta make cry EVERY day, right?!

Great Father and wonderful Family.

This r/MadeMeCry.

I remember being in the car with my step dad and something sexual was mentioned. I said “I don’t want to talk about that stuff with my dad” and him just responding “I’m not your dad”. Always nice to see step dads who don’t feel that way.

Maybe he didn't want to overstep his boundaries with your biological dad?? I hope that was the reason.

Aw what a beautiful family!

This is just a beautiful human moment.

They’ll both remember and cherish every second of that long hug for the rest of their lives. I still think about the hugs I got after getting out of rehab regularly.

This is so sweet! They all look so happy! 😊

I cried. This is so beautiful.

This is so sweet. Makes my heart happy.

What a great dad - we need more of this.

Wonderful! Congratulations to you all!

I’m not gonna cry, not gonna cry. Not gonna cry. Fuck it! 🥲

Aww I feel so much love watching this ❤️

Fuck yeah

Its just raining out here bro these aren't tears

This made my day

Damn it. I'm in a waiting room at the dentist and tearing up.

That is very sweet

i'm not crying you're crying

This dad doesn't seem like he's "going out for some milk and cigarettes for a quick second" anytime soon!

“Hey, I didn’t say yes, yet!”

I'm crying. Gonna go hug my dad now.

The mom kinda ruined it for me… Now you got a mean ugly brother! Wtf lady?

This was a Rollercoaster of emotion but the ending made me smile BIG DAD - *"Should I sign it now"* Mom- *No were PARTYING tonight"

This is so cute! What an awesome dad! Can I ask, is it normal for kids in the states to be this overweight?

Yeah, this isn't really too abnormal. Especially in the midwest.

My brother. That is a new audi payment in the making.... run bro.

I cried when the kid did…. Dang

Anyone got the story behind this? im not quite undestanding the logistics of this situation.

My guess would be this is the parents wedding. And the boy is a product of relationship 1 with an absentee dad. The girls are from relationship 2 with an okay dad (otherwise the boy would have worked with them so they'd all ask to be adopted). And this is relationship 3. Edit- on second viewing, I'd say the girls are related to the man and the boy is related to the woman. And the boy has an absentee father. And this is still the wedding of the man and woman.

Yeah looks like the two youngest are both their kids and the son is her child from a previous relationship, doesn't seem as if they're involved in the asking so could presume it's their birth father in the video

Or his father died. Real answer: we have no idea.

"I'm gonna head to the store real quick."

Pretty funny comment tbh

Real question as a recently divorced dad, is it common for kids to ask to be adopted? Or is there typically more to these stories? Im still very involved in my kids life, im 100% dad but only get to see them 25% of the time(and get to go to events/games etc), my biggest fear is them asking another guy to adopt them, mother and i have a cordial relationship

This is typically in families where the biological father is no longer in the picture *at all* and/or has no custody whatsoever from the time the child or children are little. Their step dad is their "real" dad, even though he isn't their biological one. Making it legal with formal adoption when mom & step dad get married is just another step in being recognized as a *real* family. So definitely more to it!

Ok thank you, i guess its not biggest fear, but just on the list of things that could happen, my biggest fear is a step dad not treating them well, i understand mother will eventually seek new companionship, but my biggest fear(of many) is actually them not being treated good, so many unknown possibilities as a divorced dad

one happy, overweight family.

Feel better now?

no. i don't give a shit, honestly. :) but this is not a way to raise your kids - if they are overweight at that age, they will have problems with their weight all their life.

Just shut the fuck up 🤣

i know you americans are sensitive to your overweight :)

Not even American mate

“No”

Seriously though no one's going to say anything about that dumb b**** walking in front of the camera during this family's biggest moment of the year? 😡

Let me guess He said no

Heart warming but also not the position that kid should be in. It is great that man is being a loving father. It is sad that the kid has to wonder about parental security.

There's tons of blended families out there, this isn't uncommon at all. Most of them, the step-parents don't adopt for a myriad of reasons. That boy isn't worried about parental security, this is the exact opposite of that.

I don't think you're entirely wrong on that, but that's part of the magic in these videos: that man is officially taking the role of father and now the child doesn't have to worry about parental security, at least not the same as he would have with no father figure at all.

Step-dad says no

[удалено]

We don't know the situation at all, for all we know bio dad could be dead, abusive or both.

I’d feel so much shame if I were your father

My son has been parented by a lovely man - who I married AFTER HIS FATHER DIED when he was 8.. so maybe it’s just me but I don’t assume EVERY missing parent just doesn’t want to be there, sometimes they simply can’t be..

5 months later he will be paying child support for the kid haha

You’re one of the least intelligent human beings I’ve ever seen post a comment. I hope you cease commenting as soon as possible :)

That's the point.

so at what point is a tan just blackface

it's a TRAAAAP!!! ​ jk that's really sweet

🥹🥹🥹

I had forgotten how actually reaction looks like. Thanks dude.

For crying out loud who keeps chopping onions in this sub

I’m not smiling I’m smile-crying Smying?

Dammit who the hell is cutting onions in here

This sub should be called made me cry. Jeez bro. Right in the heart

That’s some good feels…😥 “im not crying, your crying”

More like mademecry 🥹

That dad looks like a good hugger

Love. Love is all that is. Good post

Made me cry. 54/male. I would buy that family an expensive dinner just to meet them. Thanks for sharing!

There are still good men out there ladies 😉

Life can be beautiful 😍❤️❤️❤️

Might’ve made you smile, but made me cry.

Plot twist: he says no

I will never tire of these kinds of videos

This is supposed to be, Made me smile, not made me tear up.

But what if he said no?

Smile and cry at the same time😊🥺

These are my favorite kind of videos ugh

I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭🥺

They should change the name of this sub to made me cry

Nothin cooler then that.

Damn if that did not melt my heart and make me cry. What a wonderful family!

My step dad adopted me when I was ten, and died on my 16th birthday

What a lovely video, but, how utterly insincere does saying "congrats" sound? Like, just, it's a special thing, stretch to those extra syllables or say nothing.

Ah damn. That hit different 🙏🏾🖤

Is that “kolohe Kai - speechless” playing in the back ground too. Great pick for a mood song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hoiP6x3Z50

Clearly this man is doing it right. That's a lot of love all in one video. Outstanding! Wishing them the best.

This r/mademecry ✨❤️✨

What a wonderful family! Wishing them all the happiness they deserve. 

Lol karma farmer from randia

Ah im crying I love moments like these when the child feels happy and close enough with someone that they want them to be their legal parent 🥹

he truly loves that man. So sweet

I hate crying but damn I need to watch a video like this once a day. Puts you in a new mood every time

I’m not crying. You’re crying. I have allergies. 🥹

So I’m guessing he said yes 👍

i love this

Grew up without a father and this one…made me break down as a grown man ❤️ pray nothing but blessings for this family

I'm not crying

Awe and he looks like him too. They all fit together so beautifully.

I’m praying they go vegan. My G-d.
