Let's hear it for this determined, Facebook-savvy boy.

Jette Collins, an 18-year-old from Syracuse, New York, is on the search for his biological father. At the musical gathering K-Rockathon in 1996, the young Diana Collins met a young man who would became the father to baby Jette.

The young man offered a heartfelt -- and also very nicely penned -- plea for help finding his dad. The boy writes: "I am looking for a man named Jason, who lived in Syracuse, New York, in 1996. He went to the first K-rockathon ... [and] met a woman named Diana Collins, I am the product of that night. I am not asking for anything. Just would like to meet my biological father."

As of Thursday evening, the post had been shared over 3,500 times and accrued 1,490 comments.
