A single dad has taken fatherhood to the next level after adopting three siblings to give them a forever home.
Daryl Andersen has given three young children a total life transformation after giving them a permanent home in Utah all together.
The three siblings - named Miquel, aged 4, Willis, aged 6, and Neveah, aged 9 - had been under state care for the majority of their lives.
After switching foster homes 6 times, Andersen took it upon himself to independently raise the three young children himself.

The siblings first entered the foster care system back in 2016 and were being constantly uprooted between a mix of group and foster homes for five whole years.
"All they had was each other," Andersen revealed in an interview with KSL News.
Andersen, who was already a single father to three of his own children from a previous marriage, wanted to create an environment to give the three siblings a chance to 'make their own future'.
He said: “I want them to understand that the past is the past, and they get to make their own future, and it all depends on them.”

"There are kids out there in this world who don't have a place they can call home," he added in the interview.
Andersen revealed that the decision followed thoughts about how children like Miquel, Willis and Neveah experience certain things differently to other children - namely the festivity of Christmas or Thanksgiving.
"Could you imagine a child [...] come Christmas time or Thanksgiving time that don't have a place to go or call home," he said.

He added: "That right there is one of the things that really bugged me."
When asked about what it was like adopting not one but three children, Andersen said: "It's three times the blessings."
People were quick to voice their admiration for this inspiring tale.
One YouTube user commented: "What a huge relief to a child after being bounced around in foster care and the possibility of separation from the other siblings that they are wanted, adopted and have a home. Siblings should never ever be separated."

"Melts my heart," another wrote before calling Andersen 'such a wonderful person'.
A third gave thanks for Andersen's decision: "Thank you for giving these children [a] warm, loving home."
The dad concluded the interview by saying: "I just want them to be happy. I want them to know that they're loved."
