you decide to come

on "America's Got Talent"?

Okay, well, I'm 42 years old.

When I was 19,

I had a dream
of being a singer,

and I had an opportunity
to go and audition.

And I got to the very end,

and right before
they chose the final people,

they cut me,
and they told me it was

'cause I wasn't
the right size.

Ugh.

When I was 19 years old,

I decided
I was going to audition

for this big theme park.

I got a standing ovation

from all
the other auditioners.

I was like, "Yes!"

Like, "This is it.
Here we go."

And right at the last cut,

they cut me.

And everyone was like, "What?"

So I went and asked,
I was like, you know, "Why?"

And they said
because I wouldn't fit

the clothes that
they were already, like,

envisioning the costumes.

- Aw...
- And I didn't have the look!

Oh, my God.

I wish they would rather have
said I couldn't sing, right?

Like, "You can't sing."

My name is Yvonnes.

I'm here
with my mother, Selena,

and my step-father,
Fredeberto.

[speaking Spanish]

They're both from Cuba.

They don't really
speak much English,

but they're both very
excited to be here.

Very good!

Happy, happy, happy, happy!

[laughs]
Yeah.

They met about 60 years ago.

They were at a party,

and he walked in.

She stared at him,

And said, "Wow, that man is
gonna be mine all night.

You're gonna dance all night."

And that's exactly
what they did.

Since that day,
they've been inseparable.

Everything they've
gone through together,

they may have started
with a beautiful spark,

but both went through illness.

Two years ago, my mother had
two knee replacements,

and she was in a wheelchair.

She thought that she
was never gonna be able

to dance again in her life.

During this time,

Fredeberto would take her
on a wheelchair

to a party
and would dance.

Swing her around
in the wheelchair.

Eight months
later after that,

she was back on the
dance floor with Fredeberto.

My wife and my six children.
Six children?

- Six?
- Yeah.

[cheers and applause]

Yay, Daddy!

Yay, Daddy!

Me and my wife Ivy
got married really young.

And then,
we had our daughter, Sofia.

During the pregnancy,
my wife got really sick.

The doctor basically
came out and told me

the woman that I love
the most in life

and my new daughter

they probably wouldn't make it

through the night.

I spent the whole night
just praying

and miraculously,

my daughter pulled through,

my wife pulled through.

But the doctors told us

if we got pregnant,

this would happen again.

So my wife and I
made the decision

we were not gonna have
any more children.

For seven years,
it was just the three of us.

And then our daughter, Sofia,

started having these dreams.

And in these dreams,

there were
always three little boys

that needed to be adopted.

I never thought of adoption.

It took my daughter two years

to convince us to adopt.

After we went
through the process

of getting certified to adopt,

our very first call
that we got

was for these
three little boys.

I promise I'm not
making any of this up!

♪ ♪

They were being raised

in this
horrific environment.

It was a meth lab in the home.

They didn't have
running water or power.

And the youngest,
because he was so hungry,

he had filled
his stomach with gravel.

He jumped into my arms,
and he said,

"Are you my new daddy?"

And I said, "Well, um...

You can call me that
if you want to."

And he said, "Okay,

I want to call you daddy."

♪ ♪

And that was the beginning

of these three boys
in our home.

Are you happy?
Yeah.

After having the boys
about a year and a half,

we get this phone call.

And it was for another
little boy.

[strains]

Sean was living
homeless on the street.

We got him when
he was four years old.

After that, we thought
we were for sure done.

And then we get a call

and the reason why
we get this call

is because I'm a nurse,

and this little boy
had cerebral palsy.

And after our home
getting so full,

I was like,
"If this is my son,

"then I need a sign.

I need a sign."

I got in the car

and they had just put up
this big billboard

and it was this man

who pushed his son
through marathons

with cerebral palsy.

And it said,
Father been behind his son

for over, like,
so many marathons.

And I just broke down,

because I was like,

"You literally gave me a sign.

And this little boy
is my son."
