The beautiful story of an adopted boy with a disability has gone viral after photographers captured the moment his adoptive grandfather – who has the same disability – met the child.<\/p>\n

\"Karill\"<\/p>\n

Little Kirill was placed for adoption by his biological family when he was just 20 days old. It took his adoptive parents Doug and Lesley Facey three years to adopt the four year-old from an orphanage in Kazakhstan but they were thrilled when they were finally able to pick him up and take him to his new Canadian home. By the time\u00a0the Faceys got Kirill, he had been passed up for adoption six times because he was born without a hand. Doug Facey told <\/a>Fox 6 that when he expressed an interest in adopting Kirill, the adoption agency questioned him, repeatedly asking if he and his wife really wanted a child with only one hand.<\/p>\n

At the age of four, Kirill spent his life thinking there was no one else like him. That is until he met Doug’s father, his new adopted “Grandpa,” Chris Facey. Doug told ABC News<\/a> about the moment his new son met his dad and the touching encounter was captured in the image below. “I was excited when Kirill met my Dad,” Doug said.<\/p>\n

“I knew it would be a great thing for him because Kirill would realize he was not the only person in the world missing a hand.”<\/p>\n

Doug described the first time his dad saw a photo of Kirill.\u00a0“Dad’s reaction was emotional the first time he saw a picture. His first words were, ‘He’s like me,'” Facey\u00a0told\u00a0<\/a>TODAY.<\/p>\n
