The guardian angel lady who has adopted the children with special needs is in my opinion a strong, kind & beautiful human being, bless her & her family ❤️
It’s been 15 years since this was filmed I hope those boys are well she so loves them and little Annie is adorable 🥰
She is love personified ❤
An angel. Her heart is just love and compassion. Blessings
She really does have a beautiful heart and soul. Annie is such a gorgeous little girl. They are all so incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful mother❤

My dad had me when he was 52. He always said he didnt want children because he didnt think he'd be a good dad. But I tell you what, he is the best dad I could ever ask for. I wouldn't change him for the world. We did everything together. I never went without. He's taught me a lot of valuable life lessons that perhaps a younger parents wouldn't have.
❤
That lady Jane is an angel! She took that beautiful baby girl and gave her love and thats why she has been surviving for longer than expected. Also how she loves those boys. God bless that lady 🙏
zUrDi unfortunately Annie sadly died in 2009
@@signwithwilfred5689 oh noo sad to hear she died but at least she had the best love and care when she was alive
wilfred jenkins so sad to hear about Annie but I’m so happy she had Jane,what an amazing lady, as her Mum who loved & looked after her so well.
@@signwithwilfred5689 Aww how sad, where did you read that i want to look up how everyone is doing
My Dad died at the age of 80 when i was 15 and my sister was 12. He had 3 other adult children. Dad always 'prepared' me for that fact he would pass before seeing my sister and I grow up into adults. Had conversations about death etc. He was the most amazing and loving parent and i never felt like i was missing out and he made sure we didnt miss out of doing, 'younger family' experiences.
I only vaguely remember having any sort of negative feelings when people would assume he was my grandparent. It never bothered him.
I have 3 kids and im 31 and it's exhausting enough, cant imagine Dad doing it at the age he was.
Wouldnt change him for the world, he was all i ever needed as a parent and so much more ❤
@kymreid2847 I loved your comment. My daughter's dad died when she was a baby. It was sudden and unexpected. She didn't know him but I talked about him and had lots of video and photos of him holding her. I decided to not get into serious relationships until my daughter grew up. I had lots of friends and a great career growing. You were so lucky to have had such a great dad.
I came accross a horrible response to your wonderful comment. It's just recently been posted. It was in all caps and full of hate. I reported it and it seems to have been taken down. Just keep those wonderful memories of your dad. I'll bet he is very proud of you.
@@elizabethgrogan8553I see that the comment is right above yours. I think the truth lies right in the middle. Yes, the woman’s comments were harsh, but she was right in the sense that after a certain age, like 43, no one should have children-serious health risks, don’t have the same energy, and most importantly will not live long enough to care and love the child. Although this girl has really fond memories, she doesn’t have a father at her young age.
Sad that they didn't meet the grandchildren and help you out.
@@CommonCookers How? Our grandparents for our children are useless
@@SallyWilliams-hl4beSTOP SCREAMING Jeez.
This "special boy" has a rude and smart mouth! If I had spoken to either of my parents in the manner this kid did I would find myself on the floor. I hope he has grown out of his rudeness
Poor boy living with 2 mentally disabled people.
His dad ended up dying 4 years after the documentary was made. Kind of irrelevant, but that's the only update I know.
Give that woman a medal for loving the children she adopted. The world so needs more like her . ❤
I commend all of the parents and kids here. I too am the child of older parents. My dad was 58 and Ma was 38. I was raised with excellent values and knowledge that transcends time. I lost Dad at age 11 and just lost Ma after 47 years. I was so fortunate to have older parents. As a kid, I was more mature than my peers and as a adult I’m so much better prepared than those in my age group. The patience my parents had and the knowledge they had made me a much better person.
I’m sorry for the loss of your parents, but I’m sure that they would be very proud of you. :)
Wish you all the best.. i have been watching a show from UK..underage and pregnant.. its look horrible.
Same here! I was born when my dad was 54 and my mom was 36. I can definitely relate to both you and these kids when it comes to the life experience and wisdom that is bestowed upon you from an early age. I’m very sorry for your loss ❤️
You were lucky.
I was 22 when I had my first, 25 second and nearly 38 when I had my 3rd. His dad was 33. I found I was more patient and more chilled with my 3rd.
Wonderful
Boy that last woman with all those adopted children… There is a special place in heaven for her
Yes indeed she has a place there what a beautiful heart she has God bless u
Agree x
I agree!! God bless her! I truly believe that God gives some people this ability because not all of us can. Thank you Lord for them!! They have a beautiful mansion in heaven that awaits them🥰🥰🥰
WOW WOW is what the HOLY GOD SAY HE MADE US NOT WE ARE SELF WHAT MIGHT HOLY GOD SERVE ✝️🙏👶🍼
100%
So paul waited until she got pregnant and then left 😂 what a man,some great morals and role model for the child! Again its the child i feel sorry for..
I can’t believe he let her go threw ivf trying for 4 years to get pregnant then a soon as she’s pregnant he leaves her it’s so disgusting he should have told her way before there’s no way wen she got the positive test he thought I don’t want to be with her no more that was months in the making he knew what he was doing poor women is now a single mum and he’s with another women no responsibility at all he’s a sad sad man
I thought the same thing.
Better he not be around as much anymore so not to be a negative influence “being in their lives”
Just as well
The last mother who adopted the children that were meant to be her children before hand. Is simply an amazing soul. I believe her children are who they are because of her. I wish I could have been a10th of a parent as she. My sense is Annie is still here purely because of the love she has always received from her family. God bless all the parents in this film.
Your comment is beautiful and exactly what I think.....
Annies foster mother ( an angel being loaned from heaven that woman )...what a beautiful family this wonderful lady has
What a perfect way to describe this women. This family is pure love.
Sadly , David passed away suddenly aged 55 in 2012. So Derryn was left a single parent. I do hope she and Harry are ok
That's just heartbreaking to hear...😢💔😢 I too hope they are getting on okay!!
Oh no. That's so sad.
from what she once told me on fb, they're doing fine.
Thats terribly sad.
Too young..
Maybe complications due to his asthma.
How sad but I bet she has carried on well
Jane is...an incredible example of grace and selfless love. Praying for all of the other "mum's" as well ❤️
How could one family have so many children with special needs??? Thank you sweet woman for taking those children in and loving them. You’re the greatest hero I ever heard of. Thank you and people like you who makes a difference in this world.
Shivered at that one spoilt boy who made ceaseless demands and then showed his gratitude by telling his mother to shut up….life out of the family fold will be a rude awakening for him.
Well, as a foster carer/adoptive parents, we’re 70. We have adopted four kids, 30 yr old twins at 40, 23 yr old son at47, and baby Sarah aged 11 . It’s no different to having biological children. I love them to pieces
You are a beautiful person. O with you and your family nothing but good things.
Paul just doesn't want a child. He probably had the mindset that the IVF wasn't going to be successful and when his wife got pregnant he left. It's just so wrong 😡
He didn't want a child with another woman's egg. I think it's honourable.
@@KewpieDollEyes1379 But why did he agree to the process in the first case? It's understandable but he could have outrightly rejected it and not proceed with it, only to leave his pregnant wife for someone else.
@@deziebethel yeah, kinda a shitty situation there. Hope mum and baby got on o.k.
The thought may be honorable but what he did certainly was NOT. Together 20 years, trying for a baby for 10 and then he leaves and has a new woman when his wife finally got pregnant. He’s a pos.
I was looking for this comment! Havent seen any above yours! He is definitely a shady guy, i feel so bad for feye and hope shes doing well.
Break my heart . The kids r smarter than the adults. The little stated "I have to be more independent just in case my parents die. Wow. I know it's your life but how about the child u r being in this world.
My thoughts exactly🤨
bern Pil it seems selfish of the parents to me.
That child learned that. Because in today’s world people die young and old - death being a thought for that child was something someone put in her thoughts.
People die all the time, young old new, it doesn't matter.
However these children were blessed with people who love and wanted them and that's more than a lot of people get.
@@TammieBuckeye i can understand what you are saying. Eleven years ago when I was 32 my specialists gave me two years to live which was fair considering all the complications I have 4ight from when I was a little girl (I won't bore you with the details). So you are right no matter what your age is your life may be cut short. In saying this the little girl said it as she had older parents who obviously told her that Her and her brother will need to be independent when they are still young adults or God forbid even younger. Most people know that as you bet older you are more likely to get age-related medical issue. It's not really our business but it's normal that we have differing opinions. It's a case of agreeing to disagree.
I would have lost my mind if I’d been pregnant at those ages! I’ll be 53 in a bit and I cannot imagine caring for a tiny baby not to mention the pregnancy itself! NO WAY!
Im your age. And am waiting for my first grandchild next month..😁
Babies are for under 40, at least...
I’ve just turned 53 and I feel exactly the same! Totally love our 23yr old son, it if I got pregnant now I think my husband and I would both lose our minds!
I can't imagine if I wasn't maybe around to see my grandbabies.. I kinda felt sad the little girl said they have to be independent bc there parents are older. That's a lot for 11 yr old to take on..
I hope they are doing well ..
I’m 35 with two children, (two girl’s who are 11 and age 6). And I always say I couldn’t have anymore now. Especially as my eldest is going into high school. I just couldn’t do it all over again! The pregnancy, newborn stage, nursery stage. Although I’m great full for my girls and loved doing it at those stages in life I just don’t have the energy anymore due to health issues
Derrin should sue the doctor she ask for the pill and was refused if you are getting your period you get get pregnant no matter what age.
It’s easier to get pregnant when you’re menopausal..lol you’d think Doctors would know this medical fact.. smh 🤦🏻♀️
Or another option is to get a 2nd opinion
Poor David passed away in 2012 aged 55. So she’s a single mother now.
@@aprilapril2 that is so sad, I’m so sorry for her loss and I hope her children are doing ok.
@@squidia5134 isn’t it. I hope they’re doing ok too,
It broke My heart listening to the little girl worry about her parents dying. At her age, children should be thinking of Minecraft.
truee dat
That's true, but being a child of older parents, I can say that those thoughts don't just appear. They come when other children, or even adults, start saying and then you start thinking about it. They are fit for their age and will likely live a long time. If parents smoke, there is a great risk of them dying while their children are young, but we do not stop them from having children.
*Barbies
@@Irisea Amen! Minecraft is ultimately a fad, but Barbie's will never die.
it looks like they're more worried about what other people say about their parents, and that's not ok, people should mind their own business. About the age of course it's not a good thing to miss your parents when you are young but a lot of people does, that's life.
the woman that adopted those 3 boys and the little girl brought to tears to my eyes what an amazing loving ❤️ mum she is, those 4 children were so very very lucky to have her as there mum. you truly are a very loving ❤️ woman and I thank you.
My brother married at 52 and his wife had their first child when he was 53. Several years later they had 2nd child. He died unexpectedly at 78, the summer his youngest graduated from HS. Both children have graduated with degrees from university. He had always wanted children...who are we to judge?
17:41 Mom talking about spoiling him and the son tells her to shut up, both parents just smile...that one worries me.
Pretty disturbing.
I thought he was absolutely disgusting, the way he treated and spoke to his parents. I felt so bad for them, I wanted to jump through the screen to stand up for them and defend them against their own son! 😳 I can only hope that he grew out of it and learnt that you can’t actually treat or talk to people in the real world like that. Bless them all for going through so much in this programme.
Annie update. Unfortunately according to the newspapers she died in 2009. RIP Annie.
I think these older videos should have a tribute to those included
who have now passed away.
Oh...that breaks my heart!! 😢💔😢
Which one is Annie? Don't make me go back and watch it again.
Chloe Stringer Annie was surrounded with pure love.
@@Skeptigal1 this one 56:45
@@Skeptigal1 little girl with, I think, Edwards Syndrome - she lived many years longer than was expected and her foster Mom cared for her with such love along with adopting 3 brothers - 2 who had special needs
I love how calm all of these parents are, having a life experience before becoming a parent is very important and helpful 😊
🎉
Being in your late teens or early twenties with alive parents is very important as well
Bob is a kid in my opinion, who is suffering that his parents are older. He seems to me to cover it will up by being disrespectful. He needs to be taught some manners pretty quickly, he already shows potential of being a social outcast. I can understand about getting pregnant between 40 and 50 and the disappointment when something good wrong. The lady with those first forester kids and then asked them had such a kind heart this is a big responsibility for her at that age. Well done to her.
Children are a Blessing and these Parents want them and LOVE them. No one is promised a long life and many children lose Parents at young ages or they’re abandoned and the Grandparents raise them. Kids just want to be loved and these are.
True...
True!! Look at the children who have parents who are no good. They aren't there and they could careless about them. These parents are taking great care of their children and that is what matters ❤️
@challote...yr comment is fire🔥
I have so much respect for Annie the foster mum. She has a heart of gold 💕
mother: he's a special boy. he's been a good boy this year.
boy: *proceeds to be a total brat*
Yes.. very cheeky, maybe just trying to show off in front of the camera . Definitely spoilt though. x
Exactly!!
He was a disrespectful spoiled brat.
When he told them to shut up! Omg! 😮
Right horrible child. Spoiled brat.😔
Jane is such an incredible human being. Imagine if every special needs kid and kids in orphanages received such care as this? The world would be a much better place with more "Janes" in the world:)
The lady who adopted the children with special needs is a wonderful lady who has a heart of gold
Jane is awesome she’s truly a good hearted person and is doing a good thing for kids who can’t d for themselves.God bless her
I am amazed at how well the 80-something-year old father can still move around!! My husband in his early 30s is already complaining of knee and back pain! 🤷🏽♀️😅😂
That’s not about him being “old” in his early 30s. He’s not. Healthy 30 year olds are fully mobile, don’t complain about knee and back pain because they don’t suffer from knee and back pain unless they are ill/pretty overweight.
Your husband needs to go to the doctor instead of complaining and everybody thinking it’s “normal”.
@@AnnaKaunitz sometimes men just moan for the sake of it even if there isn’t anything wrong!. If they have a little twinge or something. My partner is 32 and always complaining even though he’s healthy and has been checked out etc
I am 39 n my husband is 65 n we have a beautiful 5 yr old daughter who doesn't care what people think. We live our life happy and for one another.
Congrats!!!
Wait till she is older
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Mick Jagger brings that average age waaaayyyyyy up 😅
In 1967 my parents were considered old at 39 and 37. My mom was considered high risk. I am an only child alone now at 53. Yes I have my husband and two kids, but when you lose your parents at an early age, it’s incredibly difficult. These people are crazy. But then again, more power to them. I want a baby, but I want a grand baby.
They aren't crazy to want and have babies. It's the point of nature. No one decides when they naturally go.
@@Hannah-tg8hwthat won’t be a normal experience for this kids everybody has desires. They likely want their parents to be around for a long time just as these parents wanted a child
@@brandonallen4873 and some parents die at their 20s 30s 40s and so on. We have the same amount of time on this earth.
@@neisci yeah but use common sense no body lives with the intend of dying . It happens . But it definitely happens when you get older
@@brandonallen4873 Death doesnt happen, its a natural course of life. A 20 year old has as many chances of dying as a 70 year old.
The 62 year old mother looks great. She looks active.
Agreed. The one that was 40 when son was born looks quite old for her age.
@@b1k2q34 The first couple looks older than their ages too
It sucks society got people feeling bad or selfish for having, loving and caring for a child just because you're older. If you're a loving parent age doesn't matter. We can die at any moment as parents young or old so just be the gift you are to your children.
My mom was 40 and my dad was 50 when I was born. My dad had never had a child, my half brother was 11. I couldn't have had better parents. My dad died at 79 and my mom at 91. I have a friend who became a mom at 45, the day before her husband's 60th birthday. Older parents are the best.
So that guy let his wife go through IVF for years, once he found out she was pregnant, he bounced. All because he didn’t like that it wasn’t her own eggs? That’s vile. What a slimy human being. I hope she and her child are doing well.
Couldn’t believe what I was hearing!!!! He is disgusting she should have used a donor sperm aswell. Her view on it is so beautiful, she was just thankful she was able to carry and birth her child, what an amazing woman
I dont understand how Paul can have another relationship going on while Faye is still pregnant
Because he was probably already involved with another woman and he's trying to blame the donated egg being used as an excuse for suddenly not wanting what they had been working for for years so no one would know what he's been up to. It's my opinion and I could be wrong but that's how he comes across to me.
Maybe it was more her wish than his to have a child at their ages and he just isn't down for it; not everyone wants to raise a baby. Men are capable of multiple relationships under any circumstance, in my experience.
From the Second seeing him, not knowing their story, he gave me shady vibes...
He’s either a chickenshit or just a terrible person. Either way, the two of them are probably better off.
Ridiculous
@@Skeptigal1He gave his sperm for it so be responsible she didn't force him to do artificially insemination in a pot for the treatment.
Im a 54 year old grandmother. My oldest g/daughter is 14yrs, middle g/daughter is 12yrs and g/son is 5yrs. Im waiting for another g/daughter due in 4months. I cannot say these parents are wrong in their choices but personally I couldnt do it. Having the grands over for just a visit leaves me exhausted (and they go home after a few hours!). My kids would never have spoken to me like Robert speaks to his parents either, there is nothing wrong with teaching respect regardless of being a miracle baby as this is one of the more endearing qualities one will have going through life.
The lady who adopted... WOW... She's a saint...
It's just so heartwarming to know such people exist...
Knowing they’re going to lose their parents at such a young age is so sad. I hope they are responsible enough to prepare their children for such an early loss.
I'm would imagine they do, but children lose parents of all ages, some parents die in their 20's & 30's. These older parents could live to 90's Shirley was 40 when she had her son, though his dad is now gone, statistically Shirley could live to 86, meaning her son would be46 - my mom died when I was 33 - she was in her 60's you never know what life holds ahead for you - know several families where one parent has died young - it's very sad, but happens
My stepdad got with my mum when he was 55 and had my sister at 60, she’s 22 now and his 82
The secret to his longevity is getting property’s given to him by his parents so his never really had to work a day in his life lol.
@@bbj4613😂😂😂😂😂 your septdad is living the life.
I'm 43 with no children (after several losses) and although I'm not knocking these parents choices I would NOT want to be a parent at 43/44. My mom had me at 23 and my only sister at 42. She was a totally different parent because she was older and had less energy. I know that I don't have the energy for a baby right now. Children are meant to be had before you're middle aged for a reason.
Imagine a child as young as Lauren saying ‘ I have to be independent incase mum and dad dies and there’s no one to look after me and brody’ what kind of life is that for a child?! How awful
No ones lives are guaranteed. How many kids born to parents off their faces on drugs and alcohol have to say the same thing while actually feeding themselves etc.
I had older parents and my dad was an abusive alcoholic. My mum got sick a lot and was constantly depressed. I used to write out plans for what to do when they died. I hoped my dad would go first so he didn’t get me if mum went first. I hoped to live with my brother who is almost 21 years older than me. I hated having older parents. I would never do that to kids. Yeah, no ones life is guaranteed however old but that means nothing to a small kid who’s parents look like granny’s and act like it. 🤷🏻♀️
I bet you guys she was told to say that.
I agree. It’s nit fair to the kids
Very sad.
Gosh Robert is exactly like Dudley Dursley
What a name
My Dad died early when I was in my twenties. There are no guarantees in life whatever your age, whether you’re a teen parent or a maturer parent
My two sons were 18 and 20 when their dad died. He was 43. There certainly are no guarantees.
What a lovely foster parent looking after these children. What a heart of gold ❤
There’s no other women that deserves children more !!! She’s an amazing mother and person and I hope she has a dozen kids by the time she’s 70 !!
It breaks my heart to hear the little girl talk about being independent in case her parents die. I don’t think a child should have to worry about something like that.
My Dad died at the age of 39. My youngest sister was only two. My parents had children young, but no one is promised a long life. We all had to struggle to survive having a single mom but we are perfectly happy.
Most of these baby’s will now be adults them self’s. Around 18 as this video was filmed 18 years ago. I’d love to see where they all are in life now ❤️
Wow 😮the good old days 😢
Bob died 3 years after this was filmed! So sad he’s so so sweet in this and their relationship is so pure. I hope Shirley & their son is doing well now!
So sad that he did not have much time with his family....
Now that is a surprise...I thought he'd be a healthy and youthful 99 by now.
35:22 always makes me smile when Shirley dances with the mascot and Robert just smiles at them!
How sad but I bet his mum never lets his dads memory fades
My husband had older parents, both dead before we had children, my parents were young, but mentally were both 14, they are not nice people, when I was 14 I realised I was more mature.
This was just beautiful. For the woman who took in the foster children … ♥️ I don’t know where you get the energy but MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN! What a gift you have to them and to yourself. Lovely! Bless you all. ♥️
Love, not killing, not hurting others, etc and supporting each other is all that matters.
the son of the 80 year old man and his wife is a horribly disrespectful spoiled brat. telling his parents shut up. demanding things. of course its the parents fault but good lord that boy needs a time out
A real Dudley Dursley
Kind of broke my heart when the little girl talked about having to be independent in case her parents die.
I get that the dream of parenthood never dies but honestly it seems a bit selfish.
I'll be 46 when my child turns 18. And I am glad for that. I had my tubes tied bc I knew that's what I wanted in life. To raise a child and be a wonderful mother but also to get to enjoy grand kids (possibly) and enjoy the retirement age too.
But each person has a different idea and view on what they want in life. I'm happy for anyone else who is happy.
That jane is such a special lady. Had to give up the chance of a husband and children of her own. She had to care for her mom instead. So nice that she finally got to have children to love and raise.
My parents were 38 and 48 when i was born. My dad was sick all the time and i grew up constantly feeling he Will die soon. I think is selfish, having gone trough that
My mum was 42y.o when she had me, I'm currently 29y.o now and she is 71y.o. I'm her carer but I don't mind, I think because of my upbringing I've always liked caring for others so that's what lead me to become a nurse. I have no problem with older parents, as long as the baby was wanted and is well looked after, what's the issue? Dying? Unfortunately, we have no way to predict someone's death, people can pass away suddenly from illnesses, diseases or accidents.
thats about the same as me, my mum had me when she was 39, i turned 26 the other day, she told me she missed out on IVF cos of her age so she ended up doing artificial insemenination and they had about 5 tries i think
Oof. "I have to be independent, in case my mom and dad die"
"Everyday has to be the best that it can be" what a wonderful woman with such a positive outlook on life❤️
Yes!!! 🎉
Tiny adventures ~ every day can be filled with Tiny Adventures ~ it's all about perception and attitude!

The world needs more people like Jane.
My parents had me at 56 and my sister at 59 they are still alive today in their 90s their reason was because they didn’t want to have nothing having kids and they both come from huge families of 15-16 siblings each they grew up with nothing and gave us the world even till today I consider my life to be very lucky and fortunate
I loved this video! Thank you so much for shooting it. My 1st husband and I were older when we married; I was 28 and Vernon was 38. But the love between us was real. Vernon had been married b4 and had 2 sons. We shared custody with their mom. Vernon had had a vasectomy after #2 was born, but that was almost 10 years b4 we married. After 5 years together, we started talking about having our own child. Vernon's vasectomy was reversed in October 1982, and in February, I found I was pregnant. I was 33 when Shauna was born 11 27 83. Beautiful! My doctor said she would probably be our only one......BUT in February 1984, Vernon was throwing up so much he was missing work. On 10 10 84, Brooke was born. I was 34. My doctor said no more......BUT on 6 16 86, Jacki was born. Vernon had his 2nd vasectomy in May 1986. I was 36 right after Jacki was born. For years, we were called their grandparents, but we said we were slow learners. Shauna will be 40 this November. She has given us 2 granddaughters; Brooke has 3 sons; and Jacki has a daughter. In 2013, Vernon went to be with the Lord, 34 years had passed, but they were soooo wonderful.
Wait, so you had your children at age 33, 34 and 36 and people mistook you for their grandparents?! As someone that’s worked in early childhood for 20 years I can assure you it is INCREDIBLY rare for me to see a mother in her 20’s. It’s just not the done thing anymore. A lot of our first time mothers are even in their early 40’s. Even I just had my fourth baby last year and I’m 38.
Oh my gosh the one boy has no respect for his parents. What a shame
Not sure i would either tbh. Ones obese and toothless, the other has one foot in the grave.
They'll both most likely be dead before he even starts college.
They haven't done him any favors.
@@peggyh3788sorry had to 😂😂😂😂😂
I was the first born of 7. My dad was 42 then, by the time my youngest sister was born he was 54. We lost him 5 years ago and my youngest sister was barely out her mid 20s. We don't regret that dad was older but wish there had been more time.
That beautiful mum with the special needs children filled my heart. Such busy days but she took everything in her stride. She seemed so calm and was so appreciative of the richness granted to her. If I could just be a fraction of her as a mum, I'd be as proud as punch 🩷
Had my 7th child at 43 ( she's 6 now) she keeps me young and i am so blessed to have had her at tbat age 💖
Good on these parents for having their beautiful children, age is no reason to not have kids. Lots of grandparents raise their grandkids too and they have a good up bringing, I've seen loads of younger couples provide a terrible up bringing for their kids , age has nothing to do with being a good parent.
People should trust that what will be will be. We should let people do what they feel is best. Too many belief systems carried over from generation to generation.
@@shelley735True!, AND ~ you never know what life will bring. Folks are harping on their parents dying when they are young; yet, death can & will come for anyone, anytime ~ babies, kids & children. 🤷♀️
Jane is an angel on earth doing gods work she’s been sent here for a very special reason that baby girl wasn’t meant to live more than 3 months and she’s 11 and doing beautifully this women is definitely an angel and the one and only reason that little girl is still on this earth today she’s loved so much cared for to the highest standard it’s amazing what a wonderful angel thank you god for sending her to take care of these special children ❤❤❤❤
Never in my life did I think Dudley dursley would be out there till this!!!
I’m sorry but the child @ 17:36 telling his mother to shut up is just mind boggling. Well, he said it himself he can get away with murder when it comes to his parents. 🤷🏾♀️
He is rude and a bully. He knows he gets away with it, and I dont see a good future for this young lad unfortunately.
Broke my heart hearing the little girl talk about her and her brother having to be independent because her mom and dad might die 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Strange thing for a child to come out with.
@@thatcatboabnot strange, considering the circumstances 😕
Wait.......Dave is 48????? Lawd, I'm 63 and I don't look anything as old as he does! He looks 68! What the heck happened to him? He even walks and acts like a 68 yr old!
I never expected to see the story of the lady who had adopted her 4 children, I love the way she said she thought they needed her only to realise they needed each other, very beautiful.
It such an incredible story how they all found each other, the brothers all being able to stay together.
I agree with her the boys are so cute and gorgeous as she is herself ( Mum ) and Annie her daughter.
Like someone else in the comments mentioned I believe Annie is still alive because of the immense love Mum, the boys and Annie have for each other.
Aww🥰 so beautiful, really lifted up my day watching this. I loved the ending to with the farmer seeing his son for the first time.
Farmer's wife ( at the end ) was spot on, so much negativity around older parents and not enough said about all the good bits
While I understand people wanting children and having an unplanned baby later in life, I find it a little sad for the children who have no grandparents or great aunts or great uncles. Those older relatives were so important to me as a child and even as a grandmother myself now I still feel enriched by them
Strange relationship between Faye and Paul. He moved out. Dont think he really wanted a child. Paul is in a new relationship. Strange. Hope he doesnt get his latest partner pregnant. He'll prob walk out on her too.
Right
' I can get away with murder ' said the boy who was raging about the chicken purchase , Dangerous Words there , future Newspaper Head Line . Elderly Couple found roasted .
The fact that I have an 23, 20 and a 19 year old when I hit the age of 46 its mind blowing to me.. I get that this lovely couple didn’t choose for this baby but accidents will not happen here. Or me or my husband will get fixed when the 3rd is born!
I could never start all over again at the age of 46 so very much respect for these parents
Wow.. The beautiful soul that adopted all of the special needs children 😢, what an incredible woman. She needs a feature show all about her story!! She is absolutely an angel to these special children!! Bless her heart 💕🙏
my father and his girlfriend hsd a "change of life baby" she was also told she was experiencing menopsuse...but had s baby they didn't expect int hier 40's since they wern't in a fullly committed relstionsip and her moether was experenincing great mental hesath issues...long stroy short, I ended up raising my bsby sister (14 years my junior) her mother died when she was 11 and our father was living in a retirement community. I would NEVER have changed it because she is an absolute blessing that is now 25 and in grad school but it was a very traumatic situation for all. I still struggle with my relationship with my father.
I like how her hubby said at the breakfast table "time to get off the pill !!!I would have jumped his bones before my bacon got cool!!!
LOL
I'm 48 and Adopted our baby from foster care this year. He came to us 15 months ago at 2 months. I think about being 68 when hes 20 but God brought him to us for a reason. I couldn't gave children so I thought I'd help children. Never dreamed I'd get a baby much less adopt him. But he's amazing and he is loved. God will guide us and our future.
My dad is 81 now, 48 when I came along. He is still going strong. He renovated his kitchen a couple of years ago. He still travels abroad with my mom, gardening, even ice skates with his young grandchildren Keeping yourself active is the key.
I don't know you, but I think you are and will continue to be a great mom to your son. Don't worry about the future.
Theres Grandparents raising there Grandkids so what's the deferents of them raising there own at that Age.If there heath permitsit so be it.
Deferents? What.....
DIFFERENCE
They’re*Their* permits* it*
come on people this is not English class, don't be so Rude - no need to correct someone's spelling, it's just a forum, maybe English is not her first language
The couple looks so much older than 46 & 48? They look like they're in their late 50s. But kudos to them for being parents at their age which is actually in today's standard is not old at all. Bless them. I'm sure they're wonderful parents.
God bless all these wonderful moms , they are incredible !
I LOVED when the mom danced with the chip munk lol
I'm so happy that I watch amazing documentary I have my parents both 61 years old they are both amazing professional protective parents I really love my 61 year old mom and dad parents!
I feel so sad for that 12 year old boy with the 84 year old father. That child will likely not have his father when he is 18.
He might, let us pray.
@@Kanonfangirl sadly someone said his Dad passed away
Paul was is a new relationship really quickly! feel sorry for his ex..
The first mum should sue that doctor 😡
1. I hope that little brat that got £31 worth of games then told his mum to shut up was just having an off day and was showing off because it’s scary to think what he’s saying off camera! Dare I say it’s almost elder abuse
I don't know how Faye can still work with Paul even though he moved on so quickly with someone else after they broke up. I think I would be upset every day at work too, nevermind being pregnant as well!
This hit home. My parents are in their 60s and 70s and it's a constant worry for me that they'll die
💝🙏💞
Oh my those that first couple look so much older than their age
"He looks like Churchill!" I burst out laughing!
