Yesterday the boy I rescued from Syria in 2017 got his Australian passport. He’s now officially a citizen, and finally – FINALLY! – free!

We’re coming up on the 10-year anniversary of when he, at 18, first reached out to me on this site when it was just starting. I was just a stranger online. I digitally took his hand … and I never let go.

I couldn’t.

The subsequent journey we took over the last 10 years defies not just “the odds”, but also description. Nights and days of sheer terror and near-death experiences, all punctuated by moments of laughter and triumph.

And love. Beyond everything else, purest love.

Buoyed by hope and rescued by miracles, that boy and I faced a world of nations aligned against us together … and eventually we won!

My boy’s life is now better than either of us ever imagined could be possible. He’s grown confident and trusting, with a great job and unstoppable goals.

But I never imagined what would happen to me. As a faggot, I had no chance to have a child of my own.

Instead, I was given a son to love and protect. I emptied myself completely and devoted all I have to him. Every penny, and every teardrop. I would give more if I could summon it. I think any parent understands what I mean.

That passport represents the culmination of 10 years of impossible dreams coming true because a little lost boy trusted me, and I loved him too much to give up.

In two months I’ll be free from my own exile, but it only means one thing for me: that I’ll be able to hug my son once more and see the world we conquered together!

Finally, at last, together!

I love you, kiddo! Always & Forever! ❤️+❤️

I wish I’d seen this earlier so I could’ve shared it with you on Thanksgiving!

I feel all kinds of melancholia around this time of year because it’s been eight years since I held Baby Boy in my arms.

I’m sure many of you have someone you long for.

Keep fighting for it!

Hi Sam,

I was an avid reader of FWA back in the day and I am so happy to discover Hierarchy University. I was curious about that young fag would you referred to as “Baby Boy”? I remember you two were quite close. The voice message you left him in podcast episode 26.5 is still very moving.

Thank you so much for returning to the fold! I’m glad to have you back! 

Thank you for asking about Baby Boy. As you know, he and I went through the most incredible journey together and we won. We beat the world. The voice message you mention was literally the lowest and most terrifying moment of the entire two-year experience, because it looked very much like cancer was going to essentially destroy both of our lives. 

Of course, that didn’t happen. Instead, I managed to get him to Australia where he lives in safety today.

We still talk practically every day. He’s finishing up a college degree in IT with an emphasis on cyber security. He has a full-time job and lives alone in an apartment. 

I don’t know if it’s possible for me to love anyone or anything as much as I love him. I’m so proud of his bravery, kindness, resilience, and integrity. He’s one of the funniest persons I know, too. I’m so proud to call him the son of my heart, the gift God entrusted to me. 

Baby Boy changed absolutely everything about me and my life forever, and I’m eternally grateful.

Thank you for asking about him! AS you can tell, I’m a pretty proud Papa!

As many of you know, I rescued an 18-year-old boy from certain death Syria in 2017. After two difficult years, I got him to safety in Australia where he lives in peace and safety.

Recently the criminal murderer Bashar al-Assad was overthrown after 50 years of atrocities, some of which Baby Boy witnessed.

But now video like this is coming out, showing the absolute horrors of Syria. Here we see human beings who were walled off in dungeons for YEARS, broken beyond repair. In all, more than 500,000 people lost their lives, and they’re the lucky ones.

Baby Boy would’ve been one of them.

I’m filled with gratitude for God leading me to him and helping me save him even though I was in darkness at the time. He is the bright light of pure love in the center of my heart. But even that joy is threatened to be overwhelmed by the nightmare of what this video reveals.

You and I both know the world can’t go on like this. And it isn’t going to.

“And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Rev 21:4)

It’s almost here!
