Kayla, reacting to the video, said that it made her emotional and shared her experience in foster care.
"This made me tear up. Before I moved into foster care at age 9, my birthday was often forgotten. I remember my first bday party with my new family so I know what this boy is feeling. He will never forget it, just like I haven’t," she tweeted

"Abraham was adopted from Sierra Leone. This week, he celebrated his first birthday with his new family. We dare you to not cry. Kindness wins."
