A teen who wants his beloved stepfather to adopt him and his older brother has started a lawn care business to help pay for the legal fees.

Born and raised in Sandy Run, South Carolina, 14-year-old Tyce Rey Diaz Pender has lived in Cayce, South Carolina, with his family since 2017. His mother, Marcy, began dating Eric Jenkins in 2010, when Tyce was just 2 years old. Eric proposed to Marcy about four years later; they’ve been a tight-knit family unit ever since.
