After Getting Abandoned for Being Trans, Her BFF’s Dad Adopted Her

A family has gone viral on TikTok for a heartwarming reason. 

In videos shared last August, we meet user @BambiFairy who shares that her father "left me because I'm trans." As she sadly reflects on the situation, a man walks in the door. It's her best friend's dad, but he has a surprise for her. Her Certificate of Adoption, which he signs and the two embrace. "Finally a dad who accepts and loves me for who I am," Bambi captioned the post. 

Her best friend is another TikToker named Gracy Hyland, who celebrated the news as well, writing "We’re sisters now!"

The man who adopted Bambi is Mat Stevenson, an actor that starred in the Australian soap opera Home and Away. "He’s always supported me, and he wants to support Bambi, too." 

The videos have over 15 million likes. "Creating spaces are so important," the Human Rights Campaign wrote in the comments. "We love an inclusive family of love and support." Another commenter wrote, "omg i’m sobbing."

We love to see it!
