DENVER (CBS4) – Adoption can transform the lives of children, especially those living in foster care. Ryan Harris was an offensive tackle for the Denver Broncos, during his NFL career. He knows all too well the power of having caring adults in your life.

“My mother had me and then met my father, and I call him my father because my father adopted me. In my earliest memories, he’s always been there. And, I know first hand the impact and power, not even in the words, but just in the presence. And the example of having a man in my life to teach me, you know, how to put Milk Duds into popcorn when you go to the movies, how to handle failure, I mean these are all things that every kid really wants to know how to do. How to be successful. And because my father adopted me, I’ve been a part of an amazing family my entire life,” Harris told CBS4’s Britt Moreno.

Harris has been a long time supporter of the Adoption Exchange, and has even appeared in one of CBS4’s Wednesday’s Child segments.
