Super Bowl QB Colin Kaepernick Says Being Adopted a “Blessing”

As Lauren Enriquez of Texas Right to Life tells it:
In a pregame interview with Dan Marino on CBS, Kaepernick, who has never played in a game as big as the Super Bowl, revealed that being adopted “was the biggest blessing of my entire life.” His adoptive parents were featured in the interview, proudly reading a letter that Colin had written to himself as a child: Kaepernick had predicted in junior high that he would be a 49’ers quarterback by the time he was out of college. His prediction came true, and—in addition to his colossal talent—the love and support that Colin received from his adoptive family seem to have made a huge impact on the success of his career.
Kapernick’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, and his birth mother could take heart knowing that her son would grow up with everything she had wanted for him.
