I adopted a child in foster care who had experienced abuse. She’s an adult now. She received an associate’s degree. She’s working in a domestic violence shelter, and she had stayed in one when she was still with her birth mother. She has two beautiful daughters, which allows us to be grandparents. My daughter has been my hero for what she overcame. Many challenges and so worth it.

I love downs syndrome people! You have the purest hearts, and aren't afraid to show emotions. Like angels sent directly from God to make everyone else better people. 💟
Do you have a job and are financially independent, like most people? Did you become who you wanted to? And if you did you surely realize it's because you're not severely affected by trisomy 21, many of your peers are a lot more affected and will never have a standard life =/ If you were pregnant and could choose would you rather have a chikd with DS or without? Could you give a DS child the full care, for life, they need? Unlikely as they're most likely to outlive you.
God never makes mistakes. These children are perfect exactly the way they are. They teach us to live life to the fullest and to love unconditionally. God knew how much the world needed people like them and how much joy they would bring. He always knows what he’s doing
This family used to attend my church. I would sit next to them every Sunday. They really had their hands full because the kids were up and down. But they always seemed loving kind and patient. God bless them for their sacrifice for these children.

@@d-meth my daughter is declared disabled so she gets her therapies through Medicaid (which I learned that after she was 2 that I qualified for Medicaid and disability - wish they told me earlier) so I’m blessed with that. The Down Syndrome kids will also qualify for Medicaid through disability but no one tells you that. My daughter’s daycare told me and that’s how I knew. As far as pull-up/diapers, my daughter has a neurogenic bladder (in English, means she can’t feel her pee because the nerves are damaged due to the spinal cord injury she was born with) she also can’t feel her poop for the same reason. So that’s why I was very adamant about teaching her to change her diaper and learning how to do it herself because she will be in pull-ups the rest of her life. Now, that’s another thing. I didn’t know until she was 4 that I could get her diapers for free too through Medicaid. They don’t tell you any of this stuff at all. It’s horrible.

I can’t even tell u the number of surgeries and procedures she’s had tbh. As far as work and live independently, I pray for it. But only time will tell. Thanks for asking! I love when people are interested in my daughter’s condition and willing to learn just as I had to.
I am a guy who is unable to have kids on my own and I already knew from the young age of 7 (when I didn't even know I can't have kids) that I wanted to adopt a child or more - exactly for the reason because every child needs a family and every child deserves a chance in life! I am not religious but I do got a heart full of love to share!
It’s not even about Christianity--it is about the depth and size of the hearts of the adoptive patents. They are wonderful people with a huge capacity for love. ❤️❤️❤️
I love how the father said “There are four billion Christians….there shouldn’t be an orphan left…” . So true! Every child is a gift from their Heavenly Father. God may have taken one of their children as an Angel. Clearly this was to open up their hearts and home. 🙏❤️
There are four billion Christians...and eight billion persons in the world! Every child deserves love and a family, and as long as they have a good heart, the religion does not matter at all 😊 It's so unfair that we still have children suffering all around the world :/
It's sort of a hearts are in the right place, but with a bit of condescension. It is also a very said truth of neglect that some people do not adopt children with disabilities. They stated they had no idea about down syndrome before their child had it so it is understandable as people new to mental heath issues they don't quite grasp the full sensitivity of the issue.
@@d-meth Yeah like I said it's a sad reality but regardless if you were a person with DS listening to this how would you feel if someone said nobody would ever want them.
@@fur8104 Yeah again it's sad but true. Doesn't mean someone with that disability should have to hear that when they are already suffering. I still think they did God's work. It's just that one sentence can be very damaging. No one wants to be told they aren't wanted by anyone because of something they can't control.
“4 billion Christians in the world and 200 million orphans, there should not be any orphans” (paraphrased) This is God’s work, this is what it means to be a Christian, to love as God does.
When she said "Even now 30 years later it still brings tears to my eyes, because you're always a mother" it choked me up. That bright tears to my eyes, I caught even imagine the amount of pain
It broke my heart to hear the dad talk about how many orphans there are in the world compared to how many Christians, therefore there should be no orphans left in orphanages. Unfortunately being a Christian doesn't automatically give people the financial means to do what their heart calls them to do. I have one daughter that I adopted and I've met children since then that I felt the need to care for them and give them a home, but I only have the room and finances to care for one.
If God wanted you to have more kids, He’d bless you with the means to do so. These people could’ve had a nice house, nice cars and I’m sure a really ice retirement. But they’re storing their treasures in Heaven. Which is what we all should be doing.
They pay you to foster and many adopted kids from foster care still receive monthly subsidies until they are 18. Most states give these youth free college and medical until age 21. Even with excluding really poor Christians there are enough middle class and rich Christians to do this.
What a beautiful family! I worked with Down Syndrome children in a school in NY and I found they were so loving and wanted to hug you all the time. Thank you for saving all these wonderful children. You are definitely the best parents ever.
I don’t think so there is such word in dictionary which can be sufficient to describe these people. I Just love them, hats off to you. May god blessed you forever.
I believe the lord has lead me to this video, I submitted my record of interest to adopt on Monday, 15th March, I should hear within 5 working days if I’ve been approved.
They have accepted my record of interest and I have now been moved on to the next stage, fingers crossed once all the paper work is done and I’ve done the training courses I will go to panel who have the final say, it takes around 6 months, so a fair amount of time but here I go!!!
My fourth child was born with a rare and severe heart condition. We fight for his life. I would do it for so many others. It makes you realize what a gift life is!!!
they cry an get emotional when they speak of whats happened.....to me.......thats people with heart their lovely couple Lords richly blessing them God bless them and the children
Such an inspirational story. This couple have been blessed with such a beautiful family. People with Down’s syndrome are so loving and are very talented in their own unique way
These beautifull parents are beyond generous and loving. They are an example of selflessness and true Christian values. God bless them and their children.
I’m so sorry for all the losses this family endured. They can rest knowing these kids experienced love in their final days thanks to them. God bless this family.
Those babies are so precious. If I had money and somewhere to live I would love to adopt downs syndrome babies. They need lots of love and they give you lots of love.
My daughter is 23 with three children of her own, and since she was 15 years old she always said I want to adopt a little girl with down syndrome. Till this day she says she's waiting for god to put that one special adoption in her life. ❤🙋♀️🙏
This video just popped up in my feed and I was totally blown away. I'm almost 49 and many years ago I was living in Philadelphia,PA. I had gotten a job with a group called S.P.I.N.( special people in the northeast) They ran group homes for people with special needs. I started off as a part time worker but eventually made my way up to a house supervisor. I dealt with a lot of people with downs and other mental issues. And I can honestly say that from the time I spent working there that it truly was the most rewarding job that I had ever had in my life. I had never felt so much love and joy from a job ever! I remember so many of my "clients" (friends). Many moved on to live their lives the best they could and achieved so much and then there were those that didn't. I miss them all because they became a part of me. Watching this made me so sad but yet full of so much joy because of those that I was able to help and be part of their lives. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for bring back to me one of the best parts of my life!!!
What a treasure you both are. Mom, you said you were not a good Christian, how wrong you were and God knew it. The love that the two of you have isn't at all common. The word says true, Christianity, is to take care of the widows, and the orphans, and you even took on those with this special challenge. My sister was downs, and I even hoped I would have a downs, baby. How precious and lovable they are. I came from a family of 13, when Debra got older, there would be 10 or 12 show up at my mothers on a Fri. afternoon, and Debra knew what everyone of them took, in their coffee or tea. She also had quite a sense of humor, and loved Jesus. When you walked past her bedroom, she was always talking to him. Wow, does our Lord have a special place for all of you. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. I certainly hope you never again say you weren't one of those good Christians. What a way to show the GLORY OF GOD, to those who do not know HIM.
I had a sweet man with Down’s syndrome live with my family as part of a program for adults to be part of their community. He just passed on New Year’s Day last year after 23 years in my home. I miss his smile and morning greetings and silliness every day. We were the ones blessed to have him be part of our family, not the other way around. People with downs are some of the most incredible people imaginable. Miss him every day.
Worked with a California organization that served people w/Down Syndrome. They were the most loving, often joyful people. A handful of our clients were employed by the agency. They had menial jobs, but they worked diligently, never missed a day, & were so joyful & sweet. Interestingly, the Families who kept their kids w/Down Syndrome were devoted to the child, defended them from bullies, & such. So many women who are told their child in utero has Down often abort their babies. The Families who kept the diagnosed child all seemed to have coalesced around the child, & had a strengthened Family bond. I saw so much love!❤❤❤
What amazing people to adopt all these special children so desperately needing the right family to love them. Truly chosen by god to take care of his children🙏🏻❤️
Was just scrolling thru UA-cam when I saw this suggestion and recognized it immediately! I know this family! Their daughter was in my elementary school class, and we’ve been close friends since I was 7yrs old. We went to the same small school all the way thru to high school and we graduated high school back in ‘03, and we’re still very close friends now. My siblings to her siblings too. Small world.
Oh my gracious. How great is our God. 🙏🤗 Y'all are totally amazing. I would love to just sit with you and pray with you and talk with you. My goodness, your testimony of the wonderful grace God has given you. The love he poured on you and thru you. My heart is overwhelmed. Amazing. 😇🤗
What incredible people.... even medically fragile children/babies need love and need someone to care for them... even if sometimes God has to call them home early.... they still need someone to care ❤... all these babies were so blessed to find this family ❤
If you want love and laughter adopt a kid with down syndrome.... Sweetest people in the world in my opinion. Lots of work but also tons of love from these kids.
God has spoken to me, at first I was just listening and it’s was so heartwarming and made me happy. Then when he said there should not be a single orphan because of how many Christians there are I full on started crying. I was told I’d never have kids, then I got pregnant and miscarried. When that happened my husband and I felt in our hearts we wanted to adopt. A couple months later I got pregnant again and my baby girl came along. Then after that I got pregnant yet again, but sadly I miscarried. The second time was the hardest and I was so bitter about it. But only God knows why I had to go through that again. Now in December baby #3 was born. My husband and I have mentioned in passing how much we would like to adopt. And I think it’s gonna be time for us to get our things in order and get prepared, maybe a baby or older child with Down syndrome. This has truly spoken to me. I can’t hold back my tears, not of sadness, but of happiness and purpose.
Inspired. Deeply. I would be ever so honored to adopt a child or two, even three. I started to research the how to..quickly I realized I’m gonna need a guiding hand. I’m a parent to four children..my most cherished good fortune. Parenting is the best gig ever. A gig I do exceptionally well and would be forever grateful to parent addition children..my babies are grown (22, 20, 18, 18) and even though we have three puppies to care for and raise, our home is large enough to grow into a bigger family and all six of this family has tender souls and plenty of room in the heart for additional family to protect, teach, cherish and massively invest in. Where to start..this is the pressing question. A question we will get answered..soon, I hope! Being good hearted and recognizing the powerful impact expanding ones family is so eloquently exemplified by this couple in the vid. Following in their footsteps is a great privilege..their humbleness and wisdom is quiet contagious and furthers the belief that we are more than capable of manifesting our desired outcome. One step at a time, maybe slow but most certainly steady..that’s the plan. XO
Wow the Love that this couple has display is so unconditional true love just like Jesus.....may you be blessed beyond measure......your crown is waiting for you both good and faithful servant...what a great love
I am sitting here crying my eyes out feeling the love of God through you all. You both are true examples of how we should all be living our lives. You inspire me beyond words. Thank you for all you do and the love you show. I pray we can all become like you two. Much love and blessings to you all!! ❤️❤️
It always weirds me out when people talk so much about religion and god, but when people are using god and religion to do wonderful things like this, it makes me smile. I’m so used to people using religion to justify bigotry that I’m surprised and happy when people are using it to make the world better. I wish more people were more like these people and I strive to be more like them!
"Some people are really good Christians" Words from a really good person. Who wouldn't doubt or blame their God after loosing a child? It's just natural and I'm sure her God understand.
These people have the biggest heart taking care of these special kids I have a down syndrome daughter thats adopted and she's fifty three now and it takes patience to teach the kids to function to their level but they can learn more than you think
I am too old and not in good health, but after watching y’all and the love you have for those beautiful sweet babies , I would take care of them and love them ,if I could.
❤🎉 i luv that glory they give to God and their faith in Him. I can relate to the mom, her dream, prayer, angry with God. Runny to God and staying true. Been there done that, still doing it until my journey here is complete.
I LOVE Y'ALL!! I didn't get the names... But thank y'all for sharing and being SO HONEST! "I'M not a good Christian... I'm mad at God" .... BUT you listened!! And then you obeyed. Thank you... Thank you... I love y'all ❤
These people aren't just good Christians, they're simply incredible people.
I was just thinking the same thing!

I am not religious but I do got a heart full of love to share!
U can be a foster parent
I feel the same. I'm 39 now and I really think this is what I want to do with the rest of my life. The world clearly needs more love ❤
It’s not even about Christianity--it is about the depth and size of the hearts of the adoptive patents. They are wonderful people with a huge capacity for love. ❤️❤️❤️
I love how the father said “There are four billion Christians….there shouldn’t be an orphan left…” . So true! Every child is a gift from their Heavenly Father. God may have taken one of their children as an Angel. Clearly this was to open up their hearts and home. 🙏❤️
There are four billion Christians...and eight billion persons in the world! Every child deserves love and a family, and as long as they have a good heart, the religion does not matter at all 😊
It's so unfair that we still have children suffering all around the world :/
@sophiaoliveira4610 exactly
What a truly incredible couple, they are living their calling to the fullest. Let us all take a lesson from them.
What incredible people to do something so selfless.😄
Absolutely 🙂
As an adopted child I commend you for changing all these children's lives! God bless your family many times over.😀
I hope you are doing okay and remember you are always loved!!!
SAME ❤
What a heart touched video. “Who would want a child with Down syndrome?” Seriously I couldn’t believe my ears. 😒
It's sort of a hearts are in the right place, but with a bit of condescension. It is also a very said truth of neglect that some people do not adopt children with disabilities. They stated they had no idea about down syndrome before their child had it so it is understandable as people new to mental heath issues they don't quite grasp the full sensitivity of the issue.
Really?
Most DS fetuses are aborted.
And those kids are in orphanages because their bio parents left them at the hospital after birth.
@@d-meth Yeah like I said it's a sad reality but regardless if you were a person with DS listening to this how would you feel if someone said nobody would ever want them.
Well people that are poor would not want a disabled child at all.People can't afford to take care of the child.
@@fur8104 Yeah again it's sad but true. Doesn't mean someone with that disability should have to hear that when they are already suffering. I still think they did God's work. It's just that one sentence can be very damaging. No one wants to be told they aren't wanted by anyone because of something they can't control.
“4 billion Christians in the world and 200 million orphans, there should not be any orphans” (paraphrased)
This is God’s work, this is what it means to be a Christian, to love as God does.
Facts.
If there's a heaven, this couple and their children will be first in line at the gates. This is so beautiful. This is what humans should be.
It’s amazing how honest they are about their faith and how even when they were angry at God they kept their faith...that’s a powerful thing
Humanity is never truly lost
When she said "Even now 30 years later it still brings tears to my eyes, because you're always a mother" it choked me up. That bright tears to my eyes, I caught even imagine the amount of pain
This family used to go to our church! My friend and her family works for them! They're very sweet people and care so much for everybody.
It broke my heart to hear the dad talk about how many orphans there are in the world compared to how many Christians, therefore there should be no orphans left in orphanages. Unfortunately being a Christian doesn't automatically give people the financial means to do what their heart calls them to do. I have one daughter that I adopted and I've met children since then that I felt the need to care for them and give them a home, but I only have the room and finances to care for one.
If God wanted you to have more kids, He’d bless you with the means to do so. These people could’ve had a nice house, nice cars and I’m sure a really ice retirement. But they’re storing their treasures in Heaven. Which is what we all should be doing.
Plenty of Christians with the financial means to do so would rather produce their own natural families. They tend to have huge families too.
They pay you to foster and many adopted kids from foster care still receive monthly subsidies until they are 18. Most states give these youth free college and medical until age 21. Even with excluding really poor Christians there are enough middle class and rich Christians to do this.
No tengo palabras para describir, lo maravillosos que sois y felicidades por vuestra preciosa familia. Un gran beso .
What a beautiful family!
I worked with Down Syndrome children in a school in NY and I found they were so loving and wanted to hug you all the time.
Thank you for saving all these wonderful children.
You are definitely the best parents ever.
My sister has Downs and she is Deaf and in a wheelchair and a joy and loves God so much and my daughter also is Downs
Hello Jessie 👋
when this dad (and mom) tear up for these special little ones it’s so beautiful and courageous to see.
She really said we would be a lot poorer with out them at 10:25 seconds
I don’t think so there is such word in dictionary which can be sufficient to describe these people. I Just love them, hats off to you. May god blessed you forever.
I believe the lord has lead me to this video, I submitted my record of interest to adopt on Monday, 15th March, I should hear within 5 working days if I’ve been approved.
Did you?! 😱
They have accepted my record of interest and I have now been moved on to the next stage, fingers crossed once all the paper work is done and I’ve done the training courses I will go to panel who have the final say, it takes around 6 months, so a fair amount of time but here I go!!!
Congratulations!! I will pray for you 🙏🏻
Congrats and a God Bless
@Blass what’s wrong with being subscribed to Mr Beast? Maybe she likes his videos😂
My fourth child was born with a rare and severe heart condition. We fight for his life. I would do it for so many others. It makes you realize what a gift life is!!!
they cry an get emotional when they speak of whats happened.....to me.......thats people with heart their lovely couple Lords richly blessing them God bless them and the children
When you want to know what love is, just look at this couple. They are such wonderful people.
Such an inspirational story. This couple have been blessed with such a beautiful family. People with Down’s syndrome are so loving and are very talented in their own unique way
These beautifull parents are beyond generous and loving. They are an example of selflessness and true Christian values. God bless them and their children.
I’m so sorry for all the losses this family endured. They can rest knowing these kids experienced love in their final days thanks to them. God bless this family.
Those babies are so precious. If I had money and somewhere to live I would love to adopt downs syndrome babies. They need lots of love and they give you lots of love.
My daughter is 23 with three children of her own, and since she was 15 years old she always said I want to adopt a little girl with down syndrome. Till this day she says she's waiting for god to put that one special adoption in her life.
❤🙋♀️🙏
This video just popped up in my feed and I was totally blown away. I'm almost 49 and many years ago I was living in Philadelphia,PA. I had gotten a job with a group called S.P.I.N.( special people in the northeast) They ran group homes for people with special needs. I started off as a part time worker but eventually made my way up to a house supervisor. I dealt with a lot of people with downs and other mental issues. And I can honestly say that from the time I spent working there that it truly was the most rewarding job that I had ever had in my life. I had never felt so much love and joy from a job ever! I remember so many of my "clients" (friends). Many moved on to live their lives the best they could and achieved so much and then there were those that didn't. I miss them all because they became a part of me. Watching this made me so sad but yet full of so much joy because of those that I was able to help and be part of their lives. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for bring back to me one of the best parts of my life!!!
I pray that one day I'm in a place that I could adopt at least one child with a disability.
God bless this people. They are what we all should aspire to be. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a treasure you both are. Mom, you said you were not a good Christian, how wrong you were and God knew it. The love that the two of you have isn't at all common. The word says true, Christianity, is to take care of the widows, and the orphans, and you even took on those with this special challenge. My sister was downs, and I even hoped I would have a downs, baby. How precious and lovable they are. I came from a family of 13, when Debra got older, there would be 10 or 12 show up at my mothers on a Fri. afternoon, and Debra knew what everyone of them took, in their coffee or tea. She also had quite a sense of humor, and loved Jesus. When you walked past her bedroom, she was always talking to him. Wow, does our Lord have a special place for all of you. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. I certainly hope you never again say you weren't one of those good Christians. What a way to show the GLORY OF GOD, to those who do not know HIM.
I had a sweet man with Down’s syndrome live with my family as part of a program for adults to be part of their community. He just passed on New Year’s Day last year after 23 years in my home. I miss his smile and morning greetings and silliness every day. We were the ones blessed to have him be part of our family, not the other way around. People with downs are some of the most incredible people imaginable. Miss him every day.
Worked with a California organization that served people w/Down Syndrome. They were the most loving, often joyful people. A handful of our clients were employed by the agency. They had menial jobs, but they worked diligently, never missed a day, & were so joyful & sweet.
Interestingly, the Families who kept their kids w/Down Syndrome were devoted to the child, defended them from bullies, & such. So many women who are told their child in utero has Down often abort their babies. The Families who kept the diagnosed child all seemed to have coalesced around the child, & had a strengthened Family bond. I saw so much love!❤❤❤
What amazing people to adopt all these special children so desperately needing the right family to love them. Truly chosen by god to take care of his children🙏🏻❤️
Was just scrolling thru UA-cam when I saw this suggestion and recognized it immediately!
I know this family! Their daughter was in my elementary school class, and we’ve been close friends since I was 7yrs old. We went to the same small school all the way thru to high school and we graduated high school back in ‘03, and we’re still very close friends now. My siblings to her siblings too.
Small world.
God bless this beautiful family.
Thanks for doing God's work opening up your hearts and taking these children as your very own and giving them a warm loving home
Yes some people are special parents, these people are incredible.
Oh my gracious. How great is our God. 🙏🤗 Y'all are totally amazing. I would love to just sit with you and pray with you and talk with you. My goodness, your testimony of the wonderful grace God has given you. The love he poured on you and thru you. My heart is overwhelmed. Amazing. 😇🤗
SO beautiful - reflecting the Father heart of God.
They are such an expression of the love of Christ.
God bless these two they have such a massive heart
This is so sweet to hear what they did for the children, god bless because god is good!
What incredible people.... even medically fragile children/babies need love and need someone to care for them... even if sometimes God has to call them home early.... they still need someone to care ❤... all these babies were so blessed to find this family ❤
If you want love and laughter adopt a kid with down syndrome.... Sweetest people in the world in my opinion. Lots of work but also tons of love from these kids.
These peoples are soooo awesome with an heart out of this world. God bless them, protect them and sustain them ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
God works miracles people may he bless you for all the things you do to love and cherish them children.
God has spoken to me, at first I was just listening and it’s was so heartwarming and made me happy. Then when he said there should not be a single orphan because of how many Christians there are I full on started crying. I was told I’d never have kids, then I got pregnant and miscarried. When that happened my husband and I felt in our hearts we wanted to adopt. A couple months later I got pregnant again and my baby girl came along. Then after that I got pregnant yet again, but sadly I miscarried. The second time was the hardest and I was so bitter about it. But only God knows why I had to go through that again. Now in December baby #3 was born. My husband and I have mentioned in passing how much we would like to adopt. And I think it’s gonna be time for us to get our things in order and get prepared, maybe a baby or older child with Down syndrome. This has truly spoken to me. I can’t hold back my tears, not of sadness, but of happiness and purpose.
This made me cry, we need more people like these people.
Start with yourself ❤
My grandson is Down Syndrome he's 40 years old a gift from God
They are so humble...they are amazing Christians
What a beautiful couple never cried so much watching this you both are pure souls Jesus children ❤ ♥
Wow. This is such a wonderful family. We need more people like them.
Amazing. Just amazing.
God blessed those children who passed with a loving family to hold them on their way to heaven. 🙏🏼
Inspired. Deeply. I would be ever so honored to adopt a child or two, even three. I started to research the how to..quickly I realized I’m gonna need a guiding hand. I’m a parent to four children..my most cherished good fortune. Parenting is the best gig ever. A gig I do exceptionally well and would be forever grateful to parent addition children..my babies are grown (22, 20, 18, 18) and even though we have three puppies to care for and raise, our home is large enough to grow into a bigger family and all six of this family has tender souls and plenty of room in the heart for additional family to protect, teach, cherish and massively invest in. Where to start..this is the pressing question. A question we will get answered..soon, I hope!
Being good hearted and recognizing the powerful impact expanding ones family is so eloquently exemplified by this couple in the vid. Following in their footsteps is a great privilege..their humbleness and wisdom is quiet contagious and furthers the belief that we are more than capable of manifesting our desired outcome. One step at a time, maybe slow but most certainly steady..that’s the plan. XO
Hello Jennifer 👋
Wow the Love that this couple has display is so unconditional true love just like Jesus.....may you be blessed beyond measure......your crown is waiting for you both good and faithful servant...what a great love
I am sitting here crying my eyes out feeling the love of God through you all. You both are true examples of how we should all be living our lives.
You inspire me beyond words.
Thank you for all you do and the love you show. I pray we can all become like you two.
Much love and blessings to you all!! ❤️❤️
Ik so happy to see how you accepted God and you listened to his calling it brings me so much joy you don’t even know!
These children got to feel real love . Which they also give .Hats off ro these parents .Heart speaks better then brain.
God bless these amazing people.
You can tell this couple's life is filled with true joy and meaning.
It always weirds me out when people talk so much about religion and god, but when people are using god and religion to do wonderful things like this, it makes me smile. I’m so used to people using religion to justify bigotry that I’m surprised and happy when people are using it to make the world better. I wish more people were more like these people and I strive to be more like them!
Simply amazing ❤❤❤. Their hearts are beautiful.
"Some people are really good Christians" Words from a really good person. Who wouldn't doubt or blame their God after loosing a child? It's just natural and I'm sure her God understand.
This couple is amazing legit angels!! God bless them !
These people have the biggest heart taking care of these special kids I have a down syndrome daughter thats adopted and she's fifty three now and it takes patience to teach the kids to function to their level but they can learn more than you think
God bless you two angels! Very touching❤❤
Thank you for adopting these precious children. Every child deserves a loving family.
Im adopted god bless u both. And my condolences to the baby u lost. God always has a plan.
I am too old and not in good health, but after watching y’all and the love you have for those beautiful sweet babies , I would take care of them and love them ,if I could.
God bless you and your beautiful family
