Sam Bettens makes heartbreaking confession about adopted child: "That was tough"

10 January 2023

Sam Bettens is a guest in 'Het Huis' this week. He tells Eric Goens about his two coming outs, but also about the very difficult adoption process.

We know Sam Bettens better as the frontman of K's Choice. The singer has been living in the United States for years with his wife Stef Kramer. The couple has four children. Two children from Stef's previous relationship and two adopted children: Jett and Charlie. Sam now tells in ' Het Huis ' that the adoption process was very tough.

“What was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives became the deepest thing there is,” he admits frankly. For example, Sam says that they had already fitted the child seat in the car and that they were about to leave the hospital. “The car seat comes out, with no baby, and then the door closes again,” says Sam.

Goens wonders if the mother changed her mind at the last minute, but that was not the reason. “The father refused to give the child to a lesbian couple,” explains Sam. “The father finally said: 'No way!'”
