A mother in Kentucky celebrated her son’s transition with an amazing photo shoot.

Heather Green posted pictures of her and her son Adrian to Facebook and wrote, “When your child comes out as trans, the best thing to do is create a photoshoot to celebrate the fact that he silently and bravely stepped out of the race that he never wanted to be in, found his own lane and proceeded to win.”

The post has been shared over 15,000 times.

“Now, 23,000 people have seen it – so 23,000 people know I’m trans, which is a little scary but exciting,” Adrian told Good Morning America.

“I’ve made some awesome friends along the way because of this post.”

“It was a good time and it made me feel really great to have such an amazing family that would support me like this,” he added.
