<p>Earlier this week actor/ author Hill Harper revealed on Good Morning America, he adopted a son named Pierce 18 months ago.</p>
<p>During his interview with Robin Roberts, he talked about what inspired him to enter single fatherhood.</p>
<p>Harper said it all started when a friend staged an “intervention” back in 2015. “I always thought I was going to get married, have my own kids and I was going to adopt. I had talked about adopting and I had talked about wanting to be this dad,” said Harper.</p>
<p>He continued to say, his friend told him, “You’re going to be a great dad but I think you’re waiting too long. You may get to a point where you’ll decide you’re not going to do it. Even though you’re not married, why can’t you just be a dad now?’”</p>
<p>The friend convinced him to meet with an &#8220;adoption person,&#8221; where he learned more about the process. However, he did admit that he didn’t think he was ready at the time.</p>
<p>Harper continued to say, “Fast-forward to right before Thanksgiving of that year; I get a call from him (the adoption specialist). I was shooting a show called “Limitless,” at the time. I was in my dressing room and I didn’t know why he was calling me. He says, ‘There’s a wonderful young woman who is having a son in three weeks. Would you be interested in adopting him?”</p>
<p>Harper made the decision to become a father and left the set of “All Eyez On Me,” to be there for Pierce’s birth. “I was there in the delivery room and I cut the cord,” said Harper.</p>
<p>He continued, “I’m so proud that Pierce — his name is Pierce Hill Harper– that Pierce chose me to be his dad.”</p>
