The turbulent life of Colin Kaepernick

[post_page_title]Early years [/post_page_title]
Colin Kaepernick was born on November 2, 1987, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. However, he was brought into a world of disarray and devastation. His biological mother, Heidi Russo, had been just 19-years-old when Colin was born and was all alone. Colin’s biological father, who was African American, had left Heidi when she found out she was pregnant – and Heidi didn’t know what to do. She knew she couldn’t raise a baby all by herself and knew she had to make an important decision.
