    Sounds like the boyfriend of Hanna's bio mom is a great person who tried to take care of the woman and her kids he loved. I'm so sorry the system wasn't there to support them in this situation but it makes me happy to see that they were able to reunite and now able to start healing.

      It's good that he wanted the children back in their lives. It's just so good for Hannah to know she is wanted. Hopefully she will get to meet her siblings soon. Imagine she has had such a crazy life already and she isn't even 16. It's been a lot to go through, but great she got stability e love with crystal and Aaron. Now she can get some more love from her birth family. Hope everything goes well for Natasha and the baby, that is very exciting.

      I feel like I did the same as Natasha does to my siblings(as if I was parenting them) because of how abscent my father is and how my mother is working and is tired all the time. They are amazing parents to work and care for us, but I also learnt that I was also pushy much(from personal experience) and them saying that Natasha was sorta pushy on Crystal to care for her children like I pushed my mother to take care of her children(by punishment) makes me see why punishment is traumatic and bad for children. The only way I punish my siblings nowadays is not giving them my phone(/taking it waya from them). I am hardworking in university, or at least I try to be. And my siblings were always into punishment(verbal/slightly physical abuse from me just because I was abused as a child myself, but the only difference is that the abuse I threw at my siblings when misbehaving was nothing compared to the abuse I received primarily from peers and my father). Now my father has become really nice and kind to everyone. He was always kind, but was never nice to me as a child. So, I was sorta aggressive when it came to my sisters misbehaving. But as I grew I learnt that simple punishments are as effective and less personally draining then harming them. Harming them made me harmed by them as well, which really reminded me of my abuse as a child, and how I wish I did not cause weak abuse to my siblings. But as time went by I learnt from my mistakes, and now I feel like I've found myself on how to parent properly(my sisters although I punish them they love me dearly), so I know that my punishments are greatly appreciated, now more than before. Natasha reminded me of this. The only difference I doubt Natasha got beaten up when she was young and thus doubt she beat up any of her siblings. The moral of the story never beat your children because it will come back and bite you, your children, and everyone around either.

You had a lot ton of courage to tell your story. I am so happy that you’re in a loving family and loving parents!! Also, some point, you, Destiny, Jonathan and Cynthia should all go to Mexico see what it’s like and you can bring your biological mom for speaking Spanish and Shelly and Crystal could see it too and explore what Mexico is like. That would be a fun trip for you and Hannah and Shelly and Cynthia can have for memories. Cannot wait for more nice fun memories with your biological mom and Natasha and your niece. You super inspirational, loving and more Hannah. I love you so much Hannah.
    Crystal, you and Shelly are super inspiring for many of people to give back in the world. Thank you! I enjoy every single video that you both post and take a lot of time to edit them.

    Natasha was so wise for a young teenager. She was a Mum to Alex and Hannah when she should of been a carefree girl. She recognised two things the first being that she no longer had to carry the responsibility as Hannah and Alex were safe in a happy home where they are loved unconditionally (every child should have unconditional love but reality is unfortunately very different for some). The second thing is that she recognised that she had lost who she was because she was busy being a parent to both Alex and Hannah and she needed to find herself and her place in the world. I pray for her future with her partner and baby is filled with joy, love and all the good things in life. Hannah always looks beautiful (her makeup ability is incredible and I can imagine her as a famous make up artist to the stars), mature and her bond with Aurora is really special. Hannah I hope you read this even though this video is not the latest. I just want you to know how special and inspirational you really are. God is certainly shining a light from you which is not always to see in people. You are in my prayers as well as your family. Dream big beautiful girl because you have already achieved a lot more than some people ever do and I bet that you don't realise just how many amazing changes you have made just by being you. Xx

    So many families end up like Hannah and her bio parents. The parents get so overwhelmed by the legal system and finally just have to give up...especially with a language barrier. I was a guardian ad litem for many years and heard so many stories of this happening. It’s so sad for so many children. I’m glad that Hannah had a good experience and that her bio mom can finally be at peace with herself. 😍

Hannah is a true blessing. She is a great sister, great daughter and she is going to go so far. I hope she is ok with everything it seems like a huge emotional storm. One day at a time Hannah. There are so many blessings. You and Alex are inspirational to me.

Now she has more family that love her unconditionally, she has the answers to her past that she wanted and I've noticed she's more out of her shell talking about herself now xoxo so much love in her life now.

    I think you are so loving to let your kids meet their bio parents if they want to! It just adds to their people that love them! Hannah’s’s story is so sad her mom lost them that way! I feel Crystal snd Aaron are the best parents! They love their kids so much they can share them with the bio families if it is a good thing for them and that is what they want. And they do not push their kids into it if that is not what they want! Good bless you both!

    Seeing this video is such a reminder about what Hannah (and some of the other kids) have been through so early in life! Usually when watching your videos, I don't really think about the fact that all of the kids didn't come to your family as newborn babies, but this was like WOAH Hannah (and Alex, I suppose) really had to go through so much horrible things that many adults can't even handle, when they were so little!
    I'm so happy you all found each other, so the kids could get their forever family and you parents could get all of your forever kids!
    Hannah is such a sweet young lady, she seems so kind, helpful, positive and intelligent. I'm sure she'll do amazing things as she grows up, and it's such a blessing to be able to have some contact even with her bio family! I bet her birth mum is so proud to see how good Hannah and Natasha is doing, and that it all turned out the best way, when I'm sure it all looked really dark to her for several years. I guess what they say really is true, "Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end".
    Obviously not saying this is the END of anything, it's only the beginning of so many things, but I can imagine her birth mum felt like she was at the end when she thought she'd never get to see her girls again.

      Alex and Hannah are not biological siblings but we’re adopted by a family together previously before coming to Crystal and Aaron. Due to them being adopted in the same family they were considered a sibling set when they returned to foster care after they were removed from their previous adoptive home.

    Just a tiny recommendation. If Hannah decides to learn Spanish, I think she needs to see who the person who will teach her and it be the same kind of Spanish that she was gonna learn anyway. Like if her bio mom speaks Spanish from Mexico than her a person that teaches that kind of Spanish. Even within the same language there might be slight barriers with “slang” and how some things are called. Just my little recommendation but I’m excited for her to get to know more about where she comes from and to meet her siblings.
