9-year-old raises funds for his own adoption

This is one of those stories. This is one brave, determined kid.

A little boy opened up a lemonade stand to raise legal fees to pay for his adoption.


Four years ago, Tristin Jacobson's biological mother dumped him on the doorstep of a Missouri shelter.


A woman by the name of Donnie Davis has been looking after him ever since.


9-year-old Tristin started a lemonade stand to pay for the legal fees for Donnie to adopt him.


The lemonade stand story went viral and was a resounding success, raising $14000, which is $9000 more than target.


The remainder will go towards Tristin's college education.


We love this story!


Well done, Tristin. You are a hero. You are a soldier.
