I love your family and acceptance, and love how well you incorporate miss A into your family while respecting she has another family as well. I am training to be a child psychologist and my focus is adjustment, so in my little heart I was just wanting to lovingly recommend that you try to maybe make a bear or something from an item of Miss As clothing or bedding for Sawyer and Darcy, so once she is reunited with her bio family they can feel like they have that comfort when they want, as for them it may be more confusing why their sister has left! It sounds crazy but children have a lot of emotional ties with scents as their visual special sketchpad isn’t solidified yet and so sometimes familiar scents and textures can be more tangible in comfort than a photo. Regardless you are all doing amazing & are a huge inspiration and support to many in the foster and / or adoption processes of merging families! (Who knows maybe even Miss A too would like a bear that is from all of you to hug in a trying moment!) sending love & hope for the new year!!
When my cousins were fostering their son they kept getting court dates cancelled and they had to get approval to come visit us 450 miles away. They ended up getting approval but decided to wait til the adoption was finalized so that the visit was more special :)
F H oh I know! I think that every child should get the chance to be with their biological parents if they are in the system. My little cousins bio parents were just in extreme circumstances (he was born drug addicted as well as other things ) and he has 3 other siblings in the system. But I encourage the foster system reuniting kids and bio parents 😊
I am so happy for Miss A that her case is one where she should be back with her birth family fairly quickly, but I feel like it is going to be so hard on all of you when she does go. Miss A has settled into being a part of your family so much. I hope that you will all be allowed to keep in touch with each other when that time comes. ❤
Miss A is so special & sweet, no wonder your families has spoiled her. I love her hair. U can c Sawyer loves her. U did a good job on trimming Darcy’s hair. I trim the ends of my granddaughter that is 12. She’s a blonde & her hair goes to her waist. She’s also tiny. It’s nice for u to know her parents trust u to take her. Makes things easier that come up concerning her. Glad your trip was fun, & relaxing. The Bed & Breakfast rooms were beautiful. 🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕😍😍😍
Thanks for posting this it helped me know I needed to get stuff going to make sure a kiddo could be a bridesmaid in a wedding! I'm not sure how I found your channel but with our current family situation it's been so helpful.
I want to say thank you. I watch a lot of your videos and tonight I showed my fiancé a few. I really want to foster. I’ve talked to my fiancé about it and he does show some interest, but tonight after watching you he said “I’m excited to foster.” So thank you for educating people and getting them interested in fostering! You made a lasting impact on me and my f. Happy New Year to your family and of course Miss A!
In glad you posted this. Since Jacob isnt finalized yet. I also still need approval from the state he came from. But it's easier since i am adopting jacob. The state just needs to know where he is going incase of an emergency. Have fun!!!
So fun! I'm so glad it wasn't a hassle to get an approval to take her with y'all! It's so much easier that way versus trying to go through the judge if bio parents deny the request.
the faces that baby made while you cut her hair! I almost peed a little xD both the girls hair looks great tho! im so glad to hear how receptive yalls family has been to ms A. not having any presents to open on a holiday is really alienating, even if you aren't a very material person. it makes my heart warm to know she had a good holiday given the circumstances
yaaaay!!! happy new year! glad you could travel! side bar, have you guys thought about giving miss a a mask or hand fan or something like that (think the neighbor for home improvement)? it would be cool to let her show her hairstyles more if you guys are comfortable. i'm a big fan of viv hair therapy and kinda neat to see someone learning the process. happy holidays and may 2020 bring 2020 vision to your lives!
Do y'all have to get approval each time Miss A wants to change her hair? I'm not sure how hair changes go for teens but I know in my state you have to get approval from the parents to change a kiddos hair cut. Love your channel!
Technically, probably yes... but since she’s a teen and her styles aren’t that drastic she makes the decisions and her parents support it. Permanent changes, yes. So we are going to request approval for when she gets a trim and a silk press.
Our state/county has what they call prudent parenting which as long as we tell the workers where and how long we are going and it’s under 10 days we can go out of state with the kiddos.
Okay, so I know you might not be able to share Miss A's exact birthday, but what month is it in? I assume Jan or Feb based on what you said about her hair. I had gotten a couple of things to send for the holidays but since it sounds like she was well taken care of, I think I might wait and send it for her birthday instead. :D Glad you got to go to your family celebrations and everyone had a (relatively?) good time!
I'm so glad you made this video, my husband and I are looking into fostering. We do alot of camping/boating/hiking out of state as we live on the border of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, and we were wondering if this would be possible.
How much longer will you all have miss.A? like I know you can't get into the case and I understand that, but can you tell us how much longer y'all will have miss.A or is there no time line in particular? just curious also I hope miss A has enjoyed the holidays!
In real life, we don’t mix it up. However, some family members will mention her as “Miss A”. We do occasionally make a mistake and say it in a video and edit it out.
At the moment Miss A’s parents still have their parental rights and are working towards reunification :) the hope is that Miss A and her siblings return back to their parents. :)
Do you know anybody with a personal account (on youtube or insta) who has adopted from the foster care system? My spouse and I are looking into the process now that we've graduated from college.

Darcy’s faces were so cute while you were cutting her hair! Very much a “why are you taking it from me” pout
When my cousins were fostering their son they kept getting court dates cancelled and they had to get approval to come visit us 450 miles away. They ended up getting approval but decided to wait til the adoption was finalized so that the visit was more special :)
F H thank you so much! And yes I know, I was just telling me story about the foster system and getting approval for travel :)

I’m so curious if Miss As Fam watches you videos. It would be a great way for Momma to see that everything is going good and she is being so loved.

Woah! Miss A's hair looks so cool!
Those braids are incredible and amazing!!!!!! Looking great Miss A!!!!!
I love Miss As hair!
It’s crazy all the things each state requires foster parents to do. It’s always worth it in the end! 👍❤️
Sure is! 🤗
Both hair styles are great.
Looks like you all went right past my house for your KY Christmas. Glad Miss A got to go. And you did a great job on Darcy's hair.
Ms A's hair looks so pretty and so does your daughters hair, thanks for sharing God bless and Happy New Year love ya Nancy
Her braids look great!!
I absolutely love your videos even though I have absolutely no experience with foster care. Love your family!
Love the colours of Miss A and love the hair cut 😎
Happy New Years Sweet Family.... Here's hoping 2020 is one of each of your best years yet!!!!
I love you guys another great video
Miss A’s hair looks so good!!!!!
You look like a pro cutting Darcy's hair! :)
Darcy is like the cutest. Happy new year

I went of vacation to california with my foster parents that was fun
Mrs Ma's hair looks great. Darcey hair looks great too. You are a awesome mom

Thank you for answering my question!!!
I LOVE THIS CRAZY & ADVENTUROUS FAMILY!💕🤩😋
🤗
Love love the braids
Our state/county has what they call prudent parenting which as long as we tell the workers where and how long we are going and it’s under 10 days we can go out of state with the kiddos.
We have prudent parenting too! Though there’s so much grey area with it. We will talk about it in a video soon :)
@@BeTheVillageCommunity interesting... Our worker and our littles worker were excited. We took her to Disney for a week and a half.
Love your vids! Thanks for sharing! 💗
Tell miss I love her hair it’s so pretty
Bye! Happy Holidays ❤️
love love love your videos!!
❤️
Love love the hair on both girls
Okay, so I know you might not be able to share Miss A's exact birthday, but what month is it in? I assume Jan or Feb based on what you said about her hair. I had gotten a couple of things to send for the holidays but since it sounds like she was well taken care of, I think I might wait and send it for her birthday instead. :D Glad you got to go to your family celebrations and everyone had a (relatively?) good time!
Early February!
Darcy's hair looks good!
I'm so glad you made this video, my husband and I are looking into fostering. We do alot of camping/boating/hiking out of state as we live on the border of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, and we were wondering if this would be possible.
Don’t let it stop you ❤️
Just realized you live in Ohio! I live in Columbus!!!
👋🏼
Talking about respite, did you end up receiving the 8 year old girl in november for that respite week?
We did not
Nothing odd about having a great family
Do you know how long she’s going to be with you?
We do not
How much longer will you all have miss.A? like I know you can't get into the case and I understand that, but can you tell us how much longer y'all will have miss.A or is there no time line in particular? just curious also I hope miss A has enjoyed the holidays!
We do not know
Hello! I know that you may not be able to share this... but I am just curious, does miss A’s name, actually start with A?
🤷🏻♀️
How long is ms.a gonna be with your family
🤷🏻♀️
Do you ever mix up saying miss A's actual name and "miss A"? (As in on camera vs in regular life)
It happen in one video. They had to take it down and re upload
In real life, we don’t mix it up. However, some family members will mention her as “Miss A”. We do occasionally make a mistake and say it in a video and edit it out.
Nicole B I was just about to ask that.
Is adopting Mrs.A something that you guys can or want to do? I am also from Ohio
At the moment Miss A’s parents still have their parental rights and are working towards reunification :) the hope is that Miss A and her siblings return back to their parents. :)
👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽
Do you know anybody with a personal account (on youtube or insta) who has adopted from the foster care system? My spouse and I are looking into the process now that we've graduated from college.
The Crazy Middles!!!
Not Enough Nelson's and Crazy Middle! Plus Crazy Middles cousins
❤️❤️
❤️
Ok
I'm still curious has the medical issue been resolved?
We haven’t Done anything with it
@@BeTheVillageCommunity oh no so her medication is still out of pocket? Thank goodness she has you to cover it. I'm sorry it wasn't fixed
❤️❤️❤️❤️
