  • Anthony had been in and out of foster care for most of his life. Everything changed when his teacher Bennie decided to adopt him and become the mother he never had but always wanted.

    Pickler & Ben is an hour-long, multi-segmented lifestyle talk show filmed in Nashville and hosted by country star Kellie Pickler - known for her quick-wit and bubbly personality - and journalist Ben Aaron, a funny, curious, and good-natured New Yorker.

    This made me cry tears of joy that there are beautiful unselfish people out here willing to love and open their lives up to those in need of love, nurturing, and guidance. He just wanted to belong somewhere to someone and be loved. Bless this family. 💜💜💜

    What an amazing story. It's difficult to imagine that they are only relatively recently "FAMILY". I hope they both find joy, happiness and success in the pathway they've chosen. It makes me think about doing this..... I'm probably too old.

    There's a girl in my class. Her home life is definitely not healthy. It's not the WORST compared to other stories you hear, but it's not nice. We have such a connection. I'm only 24, she's 8.5, but gosh darn, there's something in me that wants to take her in. Even for just sleepovers and breaks from that house.

    Having been a Social Work Practitioner, I know what it's like to drown in the system.
    It's a miracle to survive!
    Children have a deep seated desire to be accepted and loved. Thank you for helping him to look at the world, and help him to embrace his future. It grants confidence in NEW found possibilities leading him to his desired destiny.
    God bless you and yours.

    May GOD shower this kind lady with BLESSINGS... ten thousand folds to what she offered the student; may the student AVOID burning his bridges and walk away from the very community/lady who reached out to him. He has athletic inclinations. I have enough historian knowledge of the what that may mean, if he were to become a BIG star. Would he see love and beauty in those who bear his semblance? Would he be like those with the Kardashians? Be CAREFUL, young man!
