Adopted Son Repays The Poor Couple Who Took Him In As A Kid By Giving Them Their Dream Life, Goes Viral
Nanay and Tatay were poor and did not have much. But it was enough to change one child’s life. The couple from the Philippines adopted a little boy and gave him everything they could. And even though their life wasn’t easy as he was growing up, Jayvee Lazaro Badile II became a successful man. As he was climbing up the social ladder, Jayvee vowed he would provide a much better life to the two people who loved him more than themselves. So he did.

In a Facebook post that eventually went viral, Jayvee shared a collage of photos with his adoptive parents. “Nanay is a vendor, Tatay is a porter,” he wrote. “Now that I have the chance to give back to them, I will make sure they will live their dreams better than what they could ever imagine.”

“I was 3 months old when Nanay and Tatay adopted me,” Jayvee told Bored Panda. “Life was very difficult. I had to be working as a student, and we were happy if Na got to make 2 meals a day. On top of that, we lived in a 20-square-meters (215 square foot) apartment.”

The luxurious mansion has 7 bedrooms and pretty much everything you could possibly need

“I paid for the house in cash and it was built in a year. It has 7 bedrooms, and we didn’t bring anything from the old place except the TV I bought for my family as a Christmas gift earlier.”
And it’s perfect for the happy family

Im just going to throw this out there. He mentioned they didn't have much, but they must have a lot of love.

Such a fantastic beautiful story of a child showing his love, gratitude, and support for his parents and family. It's so wonderful that he has chosen to share so much with them 💗

I bet the parents were just as loving and caring... It goes both ways.

This has a two fold added benefit. If the birth parents that gave you up were heartbroken and torn about letting you go, this is a way to show them they made the right decision because you thrived beyond what they probably hoped. But if your birth parents ditched you because they just didn't want you...then you get sweet revenge by showing them what they missed out on. Hats off to this young man for going above and beyond and for the parents that did the same.

I wonder what kind of job he has that earns so well he could do this.

Building a villa like that costs a lot less in Asia than the West too so that definitely helps.

Beautiful story, but they didn't really need to add "adoptive" more than once. Adoptive parents are just parents. Once context is established, call them "parents".

I think it is important here, due to the fact that his parents went above and beyond taking him in. They could barely scrape by, and they opened their hearts and home to this young man.

Clearly they taught him well, including love and appreciation. It is people like Jayvee Lazaro Badile II who make this world a better, nicer, happier place to be.

This is an awesome story, and really shows that family is more than blood. The only thing that gave me anxiety is the amount of cleaning involved.

I'd be willing to be a maid service came with. He's one smart (and thoughtful) cookie.
