Colin Kaepernick’s biological parents are <\/strong>Heidi Russo and <\/span>an unidentified African-American man, h<\/span>owever, his adoptive parents, <\/span>Rick and Teresa Kaepernick<\/span>\u00a0adopted him after losing two sons themselves to congenital heart defects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colin Kaepernick’s status as one of the premier civil rights activists in the United States of America today was acquired as a result of the quite frankly, bold decision to not rise during the country’s national anthem at a game that involved his former NFL team in 2016. The former San Francisco 49ers actually just sat down at that game but began taking a knee in subsequent games. It was a movement that triggered a lot of his fellow NFL stars and indeed the rest of the sporting world to follow suit and was designed to eradicate all forms of racial injustices.<\/p>\n

Who Are Colin Kaepernick’s Real Parents?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As mentioned earlier, Colin Kaepernick’s birth father is an unidentified black American who hasn’t been in the picture of Colin’s life before he was even born. His birth mother, on the other hand, has been identified as Heidi Russo, a certified\/registered nurse who works and lives in Broomfield, Denver, Colorado.<\/p>\n

She is also the co-founder of an advocacy group called Linked Thru’ Love. The group focuses on helping women who are subjected to the stereotypes that surround birth mothers and adoption.<\/p>\n
