Orphan Boy Goes to Unfinished House Late Father Built Him and Finds Box with His Father’s Name – Story of the Day
Ted Willis was born with a challenging life ahead of him. After his father died, he became an orphan and was adopted from an orphanage at age three. His adoptive parents loved and cared for him, but his biological father surprised him, even after dying.
Ted Willis spent the first three years of his life at an orphanage. His father died when he was only six months old, and his mother left him right after his birth. She was not interested in raising children, so she asked his father, Mark, to care for him and moved to a different country.
