One thing that we are often asked here at Parentfinder is: “Do you know of any good adoption stories that I can share with my adopted child?”

Sure, we have a number of books that we recommend and some podcasts that we try to mention. But it’s rare that we have a story that would pique the interest of a typical 8-12 year old boy.

The story of Deland McCullough, Running Backs Coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, and his search for his biological parents is one that will certainly pull at your heart strings. While we don’t want to give away too much of the story, we will say – sometimes what you’re looking for is right in front of you.
