and overwhelmed with emotion, they wrap him in love and reassurance. It’s then that they reveal the true reason behind the camping trip: they had planned to tell Eric they wanted to officially adopt him. Through tears and disbelief, Eric finally understands that family isn’t defined by DNA, but by loyalty, love, and the people who choose to stand by you—no matter what.
