Meet the Boys an Adoption Story - Part 2
We need a part 3 how are they now. I salute to the mother. Wow this kids are so lucky. God bless this family.
She is the strength and love they needed well done mama❤
Beautiful family God always knows what best❤
Angels met lost angels! I m in tears, thx for a wonderful story!
Respect for this couple who open their hearts and doors for these wonderful children , and taking care of them in great way. God bless you all❤️👏👏
I feel for you sister, but where were you, your elders , siblings and other relatives, when Nigerians started pouring in SA in the early 1990s. When black girls got missing and were taken by so called Nigerian brothers, according to African men ( please not SA brothers anymore, but just fellow Africans). They took girls , those girls would never be found again. And the Nigerian guys would not be found where they rented, and the story of the missing girl will stop there, and there wouldn't be any follow up and arrest. And how many times in more than 30years SA women saw these things happening in front of their face , but will still continue dating these smooth talkers. They have been told and they also know that these okes don't come to SA for employment, because they come here penniless and with no place to stay, but let them get one chance of getting SA woman, and in few days they'll have achieved place to stay in subarbs that SAns middle class don't afford. And the next step they are all over driving beautiful cars and bragging, talking lots of upsetting conversations with their home boys about SA men, and undermining everybody else including the authorities. Nigerians are not in SA for employment like Zimbabweans and other honest seekers. They want SA for everything they've never experienced, ie quality of life and SA citizenships. And to get that , they target very naive girls and women illeterates to get them that and way more including their souls. And this woman, how did she not fear a stranger like that, talking very different in language, unusual accent, and just general everything. Don't she have brothers and uncles to stop the relationship with all their might from happening in the very beginning. I'm sorry my fellow SAn , for being alone in this mess, and even the authorities throw their towels on your case, because you lost yourself in the hands of the stranger , and lost your right the day you allow bail for the deadly danger. And you finally lost your whole life to him, and your inherentant by giving him the right to your homelands and country. But he doesn't even sympathizes with you since you bless him with children. His family and relatives will never put you first before him, because he's number one, and because they got excess to our country, our wealth , and health considered life-style because of him. So the next step he's considering is to permanently end the " We " connection with you. Marriage and children is the last thing in this Nigerian man . One thing he wanted, he got it easily . And now he will move on and marry one of his own nation and tribe /culture. You have to spread news as you already has . Seek help to gain back everything you deserve, including the permission to our country through your failure / fake marriage. Contact right stations for this , that can't be discussed at this platform. This has to stop, because our country has become a pool for lots of things to these immigrants, including traveling abroad using our country as their tickets. I'm so sorry for this prolonged nightmare, but I will remember you in prayer, you deserve justice, and only God will grant you that if the earthly justice judges you harshly. Don't stop crying and letting it out in your daily prayers, and assisting verses from psalms. And don't worry you'll also get that in specific verses in your prayers. May God be with you always and may He bless you abundantly 😇🙏🇿🇦❤❤❤
Beauhiful story ❤

AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS I STILL STRUGGLE WITH BOTH OF MY PARENTS "ABANDONING ME" and sorry to say I wasn't the BEST PARENT! Must say I was loved so very much by what I call my mother that had raised me. BUT U HV 2 REALIZE NO MATTER HOW GREAT OUR LIFE IS NOW. ..WE STILL IN OUR MINDS FEEL LIKE....WHAT DID WE DO SO VERY WRONG 4U2 GIVE US UP? WE ABSOLUTELY KNOW THAT IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE BUT AS THE CHILD FEELING AS THOUGH NO1 WANTED U....ITS ALWAYS GONNA BE IN OUR MINDSET😢😢😢😢
Such a beautiful couple! Wonderful family ❤I pray that these handsome boys be blessed forever and ever! Much love to this family ❤God’s grace and mercy be with each of them 💙💙💙💙💙
@ximenapena4705 You have no idea how you'd feel
I have no words for what you did for these boys. I'm so choked, you're beautiful souls you really are. Amazing, totally amazing. God bless you xx
Kinship was worse than stranger because the family can be extremely dismissive and downplay the abuse
WOW!
Are you guys okay ?
Yeah and having their boys taken away. And least they have a fever home to call their own
Geeezzz. That is an HUMBLE foster dad.
So Xavier knows what it is to not have neough food and then he decides to do fasting.....ok, it seems like he has smoked way too much weed
If I was the biological children I would be angry...it kind of seems like the adoption of the 5 children was what caused their marital issues in the first place....
Those poor kids, after everything they have been through....I feel like u shouldn't adopt children unless ur marriage is rock-solid!
God bless those two parents!!!!!!
shame on those parents...why would they have sooo many children?! those people deserved to be in jail
Plenty of people have that kind of room. But not that kind of hearts …..
Amazing story !!GOD BLESS YOU ALL SO MUCH !! I want to meet her and see if I can be part of the big change she wants to see in the system. I am a Teacher who sees the many changes that could be done in order to make life better for some kids with great potential but they’re in the wrong place 🙏
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations to this whole family good luck to all of you ❤
Its sad that the parnts had a divored but maybe it was for the good comeing from a bad house thay came from Then someone adopt thats to much truma there adopt dad could have mor patice how to displed them like there adopt mom said thay didnt need to yell at them its unhealthy for the kids im glad she stood up let him go I see the kids are doing better know than then
Benny, you are truly a gifted mother! You are a gift from God sent to love, nurture, care for, and teach these boys!
These are AMAZING PARENTS, called by God to take these 5 boys into their home & adopt them! God, bless this family!!!!
She was and is a gift from God. These boys will never forget their mother.
I am from Brazil, I was also adopted, this family is amazing!!!
The oldest son's heartache about losing his mother. I mean his biological mother of course. The reality that she will never get it together for them because she is forever gone
Some people are TRUE ANGELS on this Earth...May your beautiful family be blessed..❤❤
This is a classic case where urgency of Children’s needs competes with spousal love. This can so easily stifle even true love and especially so when both parents are so physically and emotionally stretched caring for 5 ‘instant’ kids. It’s not the kids nor the lack of love for each other, or even a different understanding of bringing up the kids. I pray that they will snatch some needed quiet time for themselves and each other apart from the kids, to revitalize the very obvious resident love they have for each other. Divorce can be a band aid, an emergency feel-good solution to hurt and aggravated feelings but Jesus can heal. Any spouse can so easily feel neglected and even hate themselves for being jealous, having been ousted out of their #1 position in the eyes of his or her lifetime partner. Different parenting styles aggravated but is very likely not the main cause for their divorce. Here are 2 first class human beings giving their all to help save 5 kids from tragic circumstances… and in the end being casualties themselves 🥲 BUT with God, the Bible promises…everything is possible, especially reconciliation, a new found deeper love for each other and a joyful recommitment to a better marriage. Praying for you ALL and especially Benny and Eddie❣️
That really nice! I’m glad they have that month! ❤🎉
Sometimes divorced parents are better parents. ❤
What a beautiful family. The sky is the limit for these boys now. Thank you to their parents and I wish them all the best in their futures. Much love and respect from Germany ❤
She means she went from a family of 6 to a family of 11, she forgot to include her husband and herself
No it was only her, her husband, and her two daughters. Her step children are actually older and were not in the home. It was a family of 4 that went to a family of 7 (not including her two daughter who are out on their own now).
WOW ❤❤
Shocking to see how relationships can breakdown, it’s sad he convince his wife to adopt these boys. There are any perfect life however, I’m very proud that the adoptive mother keeps the boys and don’t resented the innocent boys, thank God she stick around with those boys knowing what they have gone through in the beginning of their life. You show the strength of a mother.
Thank you for sending Embrella news. I have been out of touch for the last few years. I also was with Hattie, Bernie and Sue at the beginning. Cheryl Novak, Sussex County
Good Morning Cheryl! We're very happy to hear from you and are looking forward to reconnecting soon. 🦦❤️
Wait a minute 😳 🤔. Her husband started the idea of the boys and now they are her life's goal. 🛸🖖👽🤓😎🥸🎉
I don't understand your comment?
Are they calling them mom and dad? What a great family story. The boys and the adults are benefitting from the joining of forces. They are such beautiful people. 😊❤. Here comes the committee 🛸 🖖 👽 🤓 😎 🥸
Benny & Eddy you are great role models for taking in 5 boys that desperately needed a good home with caring loving people. My heart just warms up knowing that 5 young boys are not out on the street or in their old house where they were neglected & abused. Your in my prayers 🙏 God keep you safe & together.
What a beautiful couple & 5 precious 💞 boys. My heart ❤️ hurts to see how some parents can be so pathetic & ruin childrens life's. All five boys are unique & seem well behaved. The five boys are so blessed to have found this Wonder couple, a truly loving couple. God please help this family. 🙏 🤗 Good luck & stay positive. You have my respect. 😊🤗
