(Save the Storks<\/a>)\u00a0Last month on the Fox<\/em> gameshow, \u201cBeat Shazam,\u201d host Jamie Foxx had an emotional moment as he reflected on the impact adoption has had on his life.<\/p>\n

Contestants Donna and Avery were on the show hoping to win money to put in a college fund for Donna\u2019s daughters who were adopted from Haiti following the 2010 earthquakes.<\/p>\n

One of her adopted daughters was present at the show and received a huge applause from the audience.<\/p>\n

Touching his heart, Foxx shared his own adoption story saying, \u201cYou know what\u2019s amazing? I was adopted at seven months and I\u2019m going to tell you what that means. My grandmother? That\u2019s not actually my biological grandmother. That\u2019s somebody who said, \u2018I see something in that little boy that\u2019s very special.’\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cAnd she made sure I had every tool that I needed to grow and expand\u2026\u201d At which point he started crying and literally had to walk off the stage.<\/p>\n
