#mom #baby
Cleaning up the mess your mom has made that has taken over your life should NOT be what a 21 year old should be doing, im SO sorry:( you don’t deserve this but still you prevail. You’re inspiring and strong and smart and I am so in awe. You’re a fantastic mom and it’s amazing to watch and support you❤️ stay strong you’re doing everything right
This!!
She will be such a powerful mother figure for her children! She will have more children, i bet three or four 😘 and she will end up with a beautiful big family (already is) full of love and fun
Men and Women have gone to. Wars that age. 21 is not an entitlement.
@@oneseeker2 the point wasn’t that shes 21 you dunce. It’s that no CHILD should have to pick up the pieces of a mess that a PARENT has made. Going to war is awful too, but just because someone is in a full body cast- doesn’t mean someone else’s broken arm doesn’t hurt. Instead of playing the “who has it worse” competition how about have sympathy for others?
Nobody:
K Butler: BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TROOOoooOoOooPs!!! 😤
My first career was as a CPS investigator and all of this sounds so familiar to me. One reason I chose that career path is because it was the life I grew up in. Judges have a lot of power...more than CPS. I would strongly recommend you being present at all of your moms court hearings with Family court because s judge can order placement with you and there's nothing CPS can do about it. If you're present, Express that you're there and want the baby placed with you many judges will order it simply to keep kids out of foster care and with relatives and there's nothing your mom can do about it.
This!
Foster care social worker here: yes! Exactly what she said! Your brother should absolutely be placed with you or your aunt or other family through an ICPC (interstate compact). Stay involved (to whatever extent is healthy for you and your family), show up to court, get to know his foster parents, etc. he’s very fortunate to have you for a big sister!
Bump
THIS!!!!!!!!!
Being adopted is not a bad choice it’s a beautiful new beginning for baby.
I feel so bad for your grandma, at her age she shouldn’t have to go through all of this. She should be relaxing, enjoying the rest of her life. My heart breaks for all of y’all. Prayers for your entire family!
Boundaries are so important. It's necessary to a healthy life.
Yes agreed your grandmother has tried to help her daughter for many years. At 79 years old it is more than time for your mom to support herself. She owes restitution for all the expenses your family has incurred. I know that won't happen and you all want her to stay sober. So sad that she has neglected you three as children but now this baby being born addicted.
I hope your brother 🙏 grows up healthy and well adjusted as possible and is reunited with you and aunt. I am so in awe of your maturity in this difficult situation. They say your strength is being tested but you need a break from this emotional rollercoaster. Life ihs too short but undertand you wanting the best for your siblings and you
The fact that she doesn't have custody of both of her older children and the child was born addicted not having her rights terminated at birth is so sad. What a difficult situation. I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's not fair how fast you had to grow up and everything you do to help preserve the childhood of your siblings is amazing. You are changing the history of your family and helping end this generational struggle. The fact that you are also still thinking about travel and keep perspective on the fact that you have to have your own life is also so powerful and mature.
Bought my nephew your crew neck to offer some support.
Must peak at your children wee wee and rub rub rub
I agree with all of this but that it's not fair she "had" to grow up quickly. She chose to grow up quickly by having her own kids so young. Some people want that and others don't. This entire situation is heartbreaking.
@@musicchick581 the commenter might not have been referring to that... she had to grow up quickly way before ever getting pregnant, she said in this video she was around middle school age when she started to find out and understand about her mom's drug problems.
@@amaiaamaiaa good point
So as a person who was adopted and raised in foster home and I’m now a foster parent I know quite a bit about the foster care system i’m going to tell you that you as the biological sister have a right to go for visit just like your mom does I really hope everything works out and that your baby brother is safe
This 100%! He has a right to visits with each of his siblings
**This** Get court ordered visitation separate from your mom for you and your sisters!
Not necessarily true. Each states regulations vary. But PLEASE check with the caseworker in charge of your brother and do what you can to build a relationship with him.
@@SparkyJoon true! Especially since they are half biological.. but I really hope it works out and she’ll find a solution! Praying for her!💕
I thought they have to ask family first before sent to foster care…?
In spite of all the problems your MOTHER has brought upon your family, you have turned out to be a WONDERFUL person, MOTHER to you own children and making sure your own sisters
grow up right . Bless your grandmother for raising a strong, smart business minded and a heart full of love and compassion for others person.
I think it’s absolutely amazing how great of a woman and mother you have become, considering your own childhood. It really is one of those childhoods where things could go either way as the child grows up. I hope your baby brother gets a stable upbringing and gets reunited with your aunt or any other close family member. Situations like this is absolutely heartbreaking. Your girls are so lucky to have you and Logan ❤
Also, side note, but im Norwegian and the thought of still having to work full time at the age of 73 is wild. I hope your grandma gets to retire in not too long and enjoy retired life❤
xx
When do you guys retire from work normally?
@@PaigeDelmas Typically in Europe 65-68 but thanks to financial difficulties now it’s also higher. Many keep working into their 70’s.
Not even 73…76 :(
@@PaigeDelmas Scandinavia has a great retirement system where your job puts about 2-5% of your monthly salary into a retirement fund without you even noticing it. So we usually retire at 66 (although some retire earlier or later). We don’t need to save up for our retirement because our workplace does it for us. And also keep in mind that we have universal health care, so if we get sick it’s all free🙌🏼
@@potato1084 oh damn, I didn’t notice I got the age wrong! The fact that she’s almost in her 80’s just makes it worse.. I live in Norway, and Scandinavia doesn’t have the same financial hardships that more Southern European countries do. So we still retire before 70 😊
Yasmyn, you are INCREDIBLE. You’re exactly to the day a year younger than me, and I can never imagine myself dealing with the things you are one year ago. I’ve been in awe of you since I started watching your channel 4 years ago, and it’s so important you never forget how amazing you are. You’re genuinely one of the strongest people I’ve been able to experience, and I’m so damn proud of everything you’ve accomplished since posting your first video. I’m sending so much love and peace to you and your family. I pray for your brother, that he’s safe, loved, and will come back to your family as soon as possible. I truly have love for you and your family. Best wishes beautiful angel, you have so many people behind you ❤️❤️❤️
You are an amazing mother, sister, granddaughter. You make the children around you feel validated and heard. YOU are healing the cycle. Thank you for being you and sharing your journey🙏.
This whole situation breaks my heart. I truly hope baby boy gets out of the system quickly. You are so strong ❤️
Stay in contact with the courts, social services, foster family if you are attempting to gain custody of this little guy. You look so spent . I pray that you can gain stay strong for you your family and your sister!
You look so broken right now… I hope everything works out how it’s supposed to ❤️sending all my love and strength to you and your family ❤️
She doesn't look any different than normal. She looks like she's handling it very well. She's a strong person & that is what shows. She's beautiful & smart & so strong...she doesn't look broken at all.
@@tonyaburroughs3349 maybe you can’t see it. I can see the difference in her face as well. She’s strong but not inhuman. Just because she’s still pretty doesn’t mean she doesn’t look upset. I don’t know why you feel the need to respond saying she looks fine when she clearly looks upset. She deserves to have her feelings validated...
@@Anna08371 The difference between you & me is, I build up. Not tear down. I can see the storm underneath. Her feelings are valid. I'm just not going to use insults or negativity when I make a comment. Go back to the playground child.
@@Anna08371 also, I've been cleaning up the mess my mother made for the last 20 years. I had to take guardianship of my niece bc of my mother's mess. I don't think it does anyone any good to point out where I'm crumbling underneath the weight of all of it.
Maryland has the CASA program. Find out who has been appointed to your brother's case. They are volunteer advocates whose job is to be the expert on the children of the children's case. Sibling visits are usually a must along with parental visits. The judges rely on the CASA's perspective a lot. Usually they are more helpful than case managers because they have a smaller caseload.
I never comment on posts but I just had to for this one. You truly are inspirational. You have so much on your plate and the fact you were even CONSIDERING taking in your little bother as well is amazing and something I could never do. I don’t just hope, I KNOW he will end up in a great family thanks to you and your aunt/grandma!! ❤️❤️ I just pray and hope you keep time and love to yourself during these times and hope the absolute best for your family
I work with CPS and for out of state placement, it is a process called ICPC. This process takes 3-6months. Also I’m not sure how your state is, but my state can change the child’s plan from reunification to adoption at 6 months if the biological parents have not made any progress. You do have every right to visit your brother and I highly encourage you to reach out to the social worker to get in contact with the foster parents. The CPS I work for, we encourage the foster family and the biological family to have a relationship. I would also encourage you to contact the social worker and have a relationship with her to keep getting updates.
Maryland ranks toward the bottom of states in terms of achieving permanency for foster care in a timely manner. Wish they would change plan at 6 months (like Florida and some other states). Best case scenario would have been for aunt to file for custody before he was fully in foster care. Now, that he is in foster care, they will have to do the ICPC but doubt they would move him to another state if mom is being offered services. Sounds like mom is too far into addiction to do anything in the best interest of any of her kids. Too bad child welfare is still offering services instead of going to TPR based on previous history, current use, and lack of desire for rehab or sober living. Hope grandma has formal custody of the two sisters or mom will make trouble when they try to evict her.
@@amymenjivar3489 I believe Grandma has had custody of the other 2 girls for YEARS because of the crap her mother has pulled.
I think it’s amazing how honest you are about this situation because obviously such a hard topic to open about. I’m sure there are many sleepless nights Bc of this and I just want you to know how much I admire you for being real!
You are changing your sisters lives. You are an amazing selfless human. I usually hate influencers but you deserve all the wealth you get off social media. Keep your hand high, you got this
💯💯❣️
I’m happy your grandma is taking this stand! So proud of her for taking this step. And proud of you for stepping in for your sisters. As they get older, they’ll realize how much you’ve helped them❤️ praying the system does justice on your family’s behalf!❤️
I'm so glad your sisters have you. I wish you had had someone too growing up, but your presence in their lives will be life changing for them. You know exactly how they feel and what they're going through. All 3 of you girls and your brother deserve so much better. Stay strong, you're amazing.
I work in foster care and I hope he is in good hands 💙💙💙 I will be thinking of you and him and your entire family. I know you will continue to advocate for him! He is so lucky to have you as a big sister.
Being a foster child since your brothers age until 18, there's a lot of feelings behind it. It's hard to know your siblings or family member won't be with family, but also, knowing there safe and not In any kind of danger, makes things a little easier.
You are SO strong Yasmyn. Having an addict parent is so hard, I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. I pray you will be reunited with your baby brother soon. 🙏🏼❤️
I hope everything turns out alright and that your baby brother is safe ❤
Its honestly incredible the amazing person and mother you have become despite both your parents not playing a big role in your life. I hope your baby bro comes back to his family soon enough. sending love
My heart aches for you. You speak with such purpose and wisdom. Prayers you’re reunited with your baby brother soon.
You are such a strong and resilient woman. I’ll be praying for you and your family.
I completely understand where you are coming from I’m the oldest of my cousins on my dads side and my little cousin was put in foster care because of his mom being a addict and my uncle being in and out of jail. I was lucky to find out after fighting for answers I got ahold of the case worker and started setting up monthly visits to see him which is amazing my little cousin has amazing foster care mommas and love him as much as I do. I hope and pray you and your family can get through this tough patch and you get to see him♥️
Thank you for continuing to share your story! Your story times always help me as someone with a alcoholic mother and drug addicts as siblings
You truly are the greatest person you can be and you are the one breaking the cycle, so no matter how hard it gets, you are the reason for change, don't ever doubt you can't do it or that you're not making an impact ❤️ wishing you all the best for your familys future
My heart goes out to you because I’ve actually gone through basically this same situation in NC with my nephew. We finally got guardianship of him after a very long and expensive and emotionally taxing court battle.
You and your sisters have a right to establish sibling visits with the social worker and foster family. It should be quite easy for you since there's no need for a custodial adult to be involved but for Venice and Ellie your grandmother might need to be involved, which I'm sure she'd love to take them to visit him when able.
I will be praying that your little brother gets to stay with you or aunt he deserves a good home
People have to put pride and personal feelings aside and decide what is best for the child. Putting the child in foster care is right choice.
@@smokindragn1 not if someone in the family can love and take care of him better. Foster care is not all good
@@meganfidler6854 I've heard good and sometimes not good things re: Foster Care. I pray that her baby brother is in excellent hands. I feel in my heart family would be the best. I believe the family wants the best for the baby boy.
i agree. when it’s the FOURTH time this has happened it’s clear that she isn’t able to get sober off of the sole purpose of the baby. i’m so sorry love
So sorry about your brother..keep praying for you and your family I hope you able to take care of your family and your new brother..love you
sorry this is soooooo random, where are you from Adrijana? (I'm assuming you're from somewhere in the Balkans) :D
Oh I'm from Utah original from Bosnia
I mean I hope you will able to see your little baby brother..you need to be strong for your family and your little baby brother
@@adrijanacernjajev Pa znala sam odma da si balkanka :D pozdrav iz new hampshire, i ja sam iz bosne
Oh zdravo bosanko
Yasmyn, So much going on for such a young lady.. you seem so strong and so brave and mature. I’m wishing you the best of luck. And your baby brother too, that his life will be a good, safe one surrounded by love. Wishing you all the best in a really bad situation.
I'm sorry what you and family went through. It's soo heartbroken to see your brother go through this. No one shouldn't ever feel that way. I hope everything goes well. Your family and you are soo strong about everything. I'm glad your brother is safe! We're all here to support and care about this whole situation 🥺❤🙏🏼
Your amazing. 21 looking after 3 babies and your sister! I hope I can be even half the person/mother you are!
I feel the pain of not seeing a sibling last time I saw my baby brother was when he was 5 months old he’s now 2 almost 3 and it breaks me! Not being able to be by his side growing up. Stay strong! X
Your grandma sounds amazing, also your aunt. You sweetie are from what I can tell a amazing mother, but also such a amazing sister. A lot of people I have heard in situations like this just cut all ties, as sad as it is from siblings also. They are over it etc. You are there for your siblings, just like you have went through burt from your mother, so have they. It's amazing you are there for them. Also trying to be there for your new baby brother. I hope everything works out and your aunt or you get him. You deserve nothing but the best. Praying for your family.
I hope everything gets better with your baby brother Yasmyn. I know how hard it is to deal with your situation and I find it so devastating that you and your siblings have to go through it. We love you and are here with you! It breaks my heart to see how heartbroken you are and I hope its comes to the best and he will be with you guys.
It takes a lot to break the cycle, but YOU have done it. So inspiring, look after yourself
You are a beautiful person inside and out, Your sisters and your baby brother are so lucky to have you. Your an amazing mother. Keep up the great work and stay strong!
You and your family are so strong I hope you or your aunt is granted permanent custody soon, I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and have strong hopes that you will reunite with your baby brother soon ❤
You are amazing Yasmyn. Watching how mature you have been throughout the entire situation with your mom and sisters, now brother- you are so strong. Your sisters and family will always remember this. You are amazing girl, don't ever forget it
You’re such an amazing Mum. You’re doing such a great job! I love seeing you and your family life 💕
I'm glad Venice has you too❤️and your grandma and other sister.
You are such an incredible big sister! 💖 From one big sister to another, I just wanted to say you are probably the biggest influence in their lives at this point. I know this is so so difficult especially as they start getting older and have more questions or begin to enter their own rebellious years as teenagers. Keep doing what you are doing, always be honest and real with your sisters and never stop showing your siblings unconditional love and support. Some day they will be your dearest and closest friends💜
Girl I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of this :( I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you are able to bring your baby brother home,I can't believe a mother would allow strangers to take care of her baby over family,I'm sending you all hugs❤️
I'm so sorry you're family have to deal with this issues. Especially you, at such a young age and having your own baby's to care for, which you are doing so good.
You are so strong!! These trauma situations are what have molded you into the person you are today and not many people can do what you’ve been able to do at your age!
As a daughter of a mother who has dealt with drug addiction for years and always seems to put drugs over her kids i see a lot of myself and my story in you. I have always tried so hard to protect my younger brother so he didn’t have to go through the stuff i did and the older i got the harder it got. I admire you and your strength so much because i can not imagine doing all this on top of raising 3 babies of my own. You are so strong
I am seriously so sorry for you, stay strong , you and your family WILL make it through!
Yasmyn, I can't believe you have so much on your shoulders at such a young age. You're a strong person and a truly wonderful mother, sister, and granddaughter. Wishing the best for your baby brother and the rest of your family. I hope you will be reunited with him very soon. Sending hugs!
Bless you and all the wonderful ladies who are putting so much effort into this family. It's sad how one weak link can have such a huge effect. They might not show it yet, but when your sisters get older, they'll be so grateful for everything you've done for them. Best of luck with your grandma's moving process. She deserves all the love.💓
I'm so sorry Yasmyn. I pray that this all gets resolved soon and pray for the safety of your baby brother.
I'm so sorry honey I cryed with you I'll be praying your bb brother is safe and eventually goes to his family I feel so bad for your grandma 😔 you are so amazing sweetheart for all you've been through 😘🙏💜💛🧡💚
I hope the situation with your little brother improves sooner rather than later. You and Logan are amazing young parents to your three little angels. Is it possible to have your mother put under a conseratorship? In my opinion, addicts don't change so drastic measures must be taken. It breaks my heart that your baby brother was born addicted to whatever drugs your mother used.
Someone has to be a conservator to make that happen, and it’s to maintain someone’s money while they’re unable to. A judge won’t grant conservatorship for an addict unless they’re a multimillionaire.
@@Hippidippimahm thats not true. U can be a conservator for non multimillionaires lol.
You are incredible, Yasmyn. This is a LOT for anyone, much less a young mom. The love and care you have for your family is astoundingly beautiful and I hope you know how proud everyone is of you. Everything will work out. Praying for you and your family. You are doing so, so well with everything.
Praying for baby boy and for all of you. Your love for your family, work to help your siblings and raise your own dear girls right is so impressive. You are doing so much despite the difficulties you have faced.
You're just the best sister you can be, and you being the best mum to your children is the most important thing. Seriously you're such a good person, you should be so proud
So happy you are able to have your sister with you right now and be able to validate the feelings no one ever did for you. You’re being incredibly strong, I hope everything works out but you’ll work through whatever is thrown at you.
Bless your sweet heart Yasmyn!!! Kuddos to you for stepping up and even trying to help your baby brother!!! Your heart is precious 😓 praying for you and all that you are going through!!
You’re an amazing mom and big sister and we’re all always in your corner supporting ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yasmyn, don’t forget to be young and take time for yourself to heal your inner child. So much has been taken from your youth out of your control and you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Please give yourself extra love ❤️ we love you
Oh Yasmyn I hate to see you so heartbroken.
You are a damn good mother to your girls. I’m so glad you chose a different path ♥️
Oh, my goodness...that is so much stress for you & your family. I will say prayers it can have a good outcome soon. Until then sending you all lots of hugs & love.
you and your family really did the best you could and are still trying to do what's best for your brother. people in addiction sadly don't think about others but themselves and who they depend on... addiction is a big circle of being co dependant on who they usually use with. I hope you or one of your family members in able to get your brother for the long term. I hope your mom can come to a realization of what she's lost, and will continue to loose to make her hit that I'm ready for help stage. it's hard to watch a family member go thru addiction and want to offer what help you can, and give them resources but ultimately it's their choice of if they want to get clean and actually use the resources available and change their own life. you've been doing a great job taking care of yourself, your kids and siblings you're allowed to have...you're strong, and when times are hard just remember you have come so far and bettered your life and are doing what you can do better those around you and keep them safe!
Wow, Yasymn. I am so sorry you have had to deal with this your whole life. You are an incredible person, especially as a sister and granddaughter. You are inspiring!
You definitely have a good head in your shoulders don’t ever lose that . You’re a great mom and sister and I’m sorry your going through that .
I agree with you I think it’s really frustrating That someone who has been addicted most of their life and hasn’t sobered up for any other reason getting the chance to have their child again even though the chances of them relapsing are greater than anything it’s really really frustrating. My birth mom was a drug addict and she made the choice to give me up for adoption because they were homeless and they weren’t gonna be able to take care of me but the rest of my sibling stayed in her hair and it wasn’t a CPS thing it was just her personal choice to put me up for adoption but having seen how my siblings grew up I wish they would’ve taken them away from her as well and gone to my parents.
I wish I could hug you right now you’re going to get through this you have so much support behind you we love you ❤️
praying that you be strong and that your aunt can get the baby. also praying that your grandma finds a place near to you so that you can be there for each other
I watch you doing this video and I feel an overwhelming sense of pride in the way you are dealing with this. You are such a beautiful lady and hope that the situation resolves very soon.
I'm so sorry Yasmyn your so strong and I'm so proud of you praying for you just know I'm always here for you
Yasmyn I'm so sorry you and your family are going through such a hard time. My heart breaks for your precious little baby brother. Thank you for keeping us updated. May God Bless you and your family.🙏❤️💕
i feel so much for you and your family yasmyn, you are so strong please make sure you are taking care of yourself through all of this. hoping everything works out somehow.
So sry, addiction is so difficult for the entire family. Poor little guy, poor you. Praying for your mom's recovery. Keep living your healthy happy life and enjoying your girls.
I fostered for years in the state of Mississippi. In our state they have sibling visits for children in foster care. also maybe now they will start an ICPC for out of state relatives. We went into Foster care because my youngest sister's story sounds much like your mother's. Fight for your brother. I understand the difference between hope and reality. We waited to help my sister's children and her oldest is now 23 and is now putting her baby who is 2 through the same stuff she went through. It is crazy but necessary. Your family is in our prayers.
I hope everything turns out okay and your such an amazing mother 🥺🥰 and I hope your baby brother is safe🥺💙
Growing up being a child of an addict as well I feel your pain. You are such an amazing women! I hope you get to see your brother soon, wishing you the best!
Wishing you, your siblings and your grandma the best! Stay strong and don’t lose hope. Sending you lots of ❤️ ❤️❤️your way! Take care.❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this. I will keep your family in my prayer.
You are such an amazing sister. Venice is beyond lucky despite the circumstances to have the stable support you and Logan provide. Please please fight for your little brother. Coming from a foster parent in the CA, who also adopted 3 drug dependent newborns, they give bio parents too many chances! At least put here the more they show up to visits the longer it is drawn out. (it varies county to county/ state by state) But in my case they gave both bio parents 6 months before even considering termination of rights or alternative placement. Please talk to a lawyer, ask for visits, go to court hearings do it all!! Don’t go unseen! As a sister I’m so sorry you have to continue to fight your mothers battles.
you’re so strong Yas. hearing what has happened to your baby brother is awful, and I’m so sorry that this issue has been put into your life at such a young age that you should be allowed to enjoy being the young mom that you are. You’re a young mother that loves kids and I’m glad that you’re able to help your baby brother, but that situation is tough. I’m devastated for your well family girl❤️
I hope your baby brother is safe and that you will be able to see him.❤️
You are the best sister ever. Your siblings are so lucky to have you Yasmyn
Wow you are so wise beyond your years,,, you are an amazing woman!! Thank God your sisters have you! You are a strong smart and beautiful woman and a wonderful momma to those perfect little girls. God bless you
It’s so hard to be in your situation. I’m sorry and you know your mother the best. You must be having so many feeling and I would be just so angry! I am a foster adoptive mother and have fostered many and adopted 5. There are good homes out there. It is sad to me that they are pushing the court process and not just letting him go with your Aunt. I understand it they do not want him to be snatched away from your Aunt if the mother gets her act together. Keep fighting. You are young and have your family to think of. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. I will prayer for all of you.
I could not imagine the amount of stress and heartache you must be in. Your an incredibly strong person. You should not have to deal with such stress and pain all caused by your mom. That is a lot for anyone to deal with but especially for someone that is young , has their own young children and life as well. I’m so incredibly sorry you have had and are going through this. I’ll pray for your brother, your family, this whole situation and I’ll pray that your mom will to do the right thing and get help. ❤️
Sending prayers that someone of the family can get your brother and that your mom just let's you all go on so she isn't putting you through anymore crap. God bless.
The fact your fighting for this baby is more than your mother is doing. I know when he’s older and understands he would thank you with all his heart for caring. Your sister are also so lucky to have you! You’ve got this! It’s tuff but your climbing the mountain right now, the view will be amazing when you finally get there ❤️
You’re a beautiful soul trying to be there because I know it hurts mama. Remember to breathe and understand you can’t fix the mess someone else created. Not having a parent or parents hurts so much! & having your siblings spread everywhere like that and unstable must be heartbreaking! But you made it! & your siblings will make it! Sending you love🤍
Keeping you, your brother, and all of your family in my thoughts and prayers. Substance abuse is the worst, I pray your mom finds recovery and you all can be a complete family with her again. I know how tough that is. ❤️ Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Stay strong, you are doing a great job.
I’m so sorry you have to go through this Yasmyn. Sending love to you and your family
I hope his foster family is wonderful, and he ends up back with you or your aunt ❤️❤️❤️
I will keep your baby brother and your family in my prayers.
This whole situationbreaks my heart but watching you deal with it so maturely is truly incredible. Seeing you step up for your family constantly is not only testament to your grandma and aunt for helping you as a child, but also to your own resilience and heart. ❤
My cousin has a four year old foster child right now in the same situation right now so I understand it. I hope your mom can get the help she needs and if not now I hope that baby boy finds a good home.
What an awful situation. I’m so sorry that you and your family are going through this. I can’t imagine trying to deal with all of this while also having three children of your own and living in a different state. I think you are doing the best you can with the cards you have been dealt and just continue to be involved and show that you want to be a part of his life and hopefully the judge will eventually grant you or your aunt (or another family member custody). It is unfortunate that he needs to be in foster care instead of with family for seemingly no reason but I guess all you can do in this situation is just continue to fight for him and have hope that the family that is caring for him is giving him the care and love he needs for now. This may just be a bump in the road for a more permanent solution in the future. Take this time to figure out the logistics of adding in another child and just be ready and waiting for him to come home. I can’t imagine dealing with all of this at 21. You have so much maturity and strength and are truly such a good mom and sister. Make sure you are taking time for yourself and keeping your own mental health in check because all of this can be very overwhelming. Don’t be afraid to seek counseling if that is what you need. Remember that you cannot be there for others if you don’t take care of your own needs too. Wishing you the best always and I hope your little brother is able to be reunited with your family soon. ❤️
You are amazing and I think you are brave . I can’t imagine what you have had to deal with and are still dealing with . The girls are so lucky to have you and Hope your brother finds a happy life and you get to see him again
Keep your head up! I’m sure the unknowns are so scary & hard ❤️ Reach out to his caseworker and/or the county he’s with to arrange regular photos to be sent, video calls, and hopefully some in-person visits! I would bet he is with a wonderful and loving family, who will take great care of him until he can be reunited with your Aunt. I am a foster parent of a baby. Maybe it will comfort you to know I love her as much as I do my biological kids. I also recognize that she has family who loves her just as much, and I do as much as I can to support that relationship! All the other foster parents I know personally are the same way. Keep advocating and doing what you’re doing! The system can be so scary and frustrating, but I’ll be praying everything works out for you guys! ❤️❤️
Thankyou for this update Yasmyn ❤I feel for you and your family 💕 hope everything is able to be solved. We all love you and the fam, and will support you throughout this time
