I am going through the foster to adopt process right now. We have 3 kids of our own but we are trying to get 2 twin 13 yr old boys who go to school with our kids now. Can't wait to be their mom 😍
That is amazing. You are good people.!! You know we do it to help these kids, but they end up helping us .. it is the most fulfilling thing you can do. You’ll have to keep me posted.!🤍🤍🤍
Praying for success for YOU. a thought to share THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON ONE CAN EVER LEARN IS TO LOVE SOMEONE AND BE LOVED IN RETURN! Blessing to Your Family Always 😊
@Charlie Baltimore just finished all paper work it's in God's hands now. My only prayer is the boys end up happy and are taken care of the rest of their life weather it's with our family or someone else. I read 60% of foster kids experience homelessness and clearly no love once in their life after the age of 18 when they age I don't want that for any child in this world. If I can change and help one not fall to a statistic would be the best difference I could make on this world
We just kept using “adopted” as part of our vocabulary with her. Then we told her she was chosen while we just had her older brothers. She loved that and would interrupt conversations with, “Did you tell them I’m adopted?”
What a lovely straightforward way you have of talking, it’s so nice to listen to. Keep your style ! Your story has actually made me cry, and I’m not a cryer believe me
I adored your adoption story and you! How lucky are you. I have 2 adopted daughters from China. They are now 21 and 23 (I can’t believe it). After years and years and many many miscarriages and a still born I was given these amazing, beautiful and smart babies. It was all worth it! Enjoy your beauties and don’t rush them to grow up lol (you reminded me of me when my spunky little girls were your spunky little ones age and I was like “omg they are driving me crazy”. I miss that age soooo much! ❤
It such a blessing but hard as well ! I tell myself All the time “ I’ll miss this one day” lol but it’s hard to imagine that now 🤣 thank you so much for watching 🥰
But every Day also- be proud of how they are growing up, safe, sound and beloved. Don't mourn the Past Face forward into the Future Because it will be Fantastic Day by Day!😂
I was adopted as a newborn I have always known I was adopted I don’t even remember a time I didn’t know but it was such a blessing I don’t know what I would do without my parents
That is wonderful! We are hoping our little ones understand we love them so much and never have to wonder their worth because of being put up for adoption❤ Thank you for watching ❤
Thank you for sharing your story here! Adoption is special and unique for everyone involved. I was adopted myself and share my own journey but it still continues. I am still trying to find more of my extended birth family but like I am sure you all agree, a journey never stops. Thank you for sharing!
I have biological kids who are in their 20’s & I have a 6 year old son who is adopted. I have always talked to him about the fact that he is adopted & the way we explain adoption to him is that he grew in someone else’s tummy but God said I got to be his mommy & he got to be my son. For the moment, that is how he understands it & he is very content with that explanation. I know as he grows, the conversations will get more in depth but, like you mentioned in the video, I never wanted him to not know that he’s adopted. I didn’t ever want it to be something that was sprung on him later on. I always want him to know how loved he is, how wanted he is & how incredibly special he is! 😊
When we adopted our son 25 years ago, we started off by just talking about it to others and about it around him so there was never a time that we told him he just always knew.
You will have jewels in your crown girl ! I’m sure you can attest to it not being easy but to think of what they would be in if you didn’t help them is what gets me through!!!! They are such little blessings
@@noel_Jones I have quite a few girl friends who are only children! Because girls are naturally more social that creates several problems. Both my oldest friend and I are more introverted, we struggled in social areas. Now the only child “guys” I know don’t struggle with it. I think the era we grew up in, parents were parents only, not interacting, part time friends. I do think now days if you are willing to, as parents, give up part of your social life for your child’s!
I just love being an only child. So grateful to God 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻My granddaughter says aren’t we the luckiest Grammy? I said why honey? She says we are only children! I said oh yes!!!!! And it is🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My baby new she had a tummy momma and Shay knows she was born from my heart ❤ Shay is now 15 going on 16 and she will be meeting up with her tummy momma in July and we are all excited. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Not exactly the same but we have two IVF babies and we have talked to them since birth about their special journey to our family. We always put it in kid terms. For example for our 3 year old we tell her we had to go to a special doctor before she was in mommy tummy. And that she spent some time when she was itty itty bitty in the freezer.
Juat watched your video and I can't bare not having children in my home so my biological children are 28, 24, 11 and 16 months!! I would love to Foster once my youngest is a bit older ❤ my whole life's calling was to dedicate my life to kids... I've ran children's charities in Ukraine, sponsor children in Uganda, have 4 biological children (youngest 2 I had as a solo mom by choice) and my heart still doesn't feel complete..... biologically my family is done but my story isn't over yet ❤
I love adoption adoption means someone to me because there are kids that need home thank you for making this video to not only here your story but to tell other people your story and maybe sometime then they will adopt the Bible says to take care of the offense in the widows so thank you for sharing your story once again I'm disabled I'm not able to have kids I would love to adopt a teenager so they could help take care of me damn but honestly now growing up I don't want to lay that burning on a teenager but I am becoming a motivational speaker to help those that seems shaking as far as adoption as far as having babies that are not their own or other things but again I think adoptions wonderful so cute what you're doing keep fighting for what is right and keep making those videos so other people may adopt too I. Would love to adopt as I said and my sentence. Thank you for sharing your awareness and what you believe in. Thank you for asking a sweet baby bunny is a home. No matter where the baby comes from that's your baby always believing that and never take any criticism regarding that. Because in your heart you had her when she was born or he was born thanks for sharing and may God bless you you and your family with love with love in a humble heart you're one of your friends keep doing what you're doing because what you're doing is great thank you once again for sharing your story and I will subscribe to your Channel but thank you for that as well
I know its you your husband choice i know your daughter only child but she get over This your choice shell slow except her 😊😊Lol Shell be happy to have a sister or a brother Im glad you got to adopt im happy you got from a young girl😊😊😊You need to put faith in. God he works miracle if u belive in him😊Im glad your blessed😊
I don’t understand why it was such a big decision to take her sister,, I would of turned around and went after that baby and forget Alaska ! But that’s just me !
The only thing I adopt is my fourth dog. You’re a sweet couple. If that niece was my daughter I’d be doing life in jail. Lord what I’d wrong with her?? Thank God for you and your family!!!
If, Noelle, you consider adding more to this group, consider adopting a " Snowflake" baby. There are many just waiting to have a womb to grow in. If I had know of this concept and I were still young enough, I surely would have done it!❤😊😊
Yes! I have a sweet friend considering this because she is having a hard time trying to get pregnant !! It is amazing what we can do now🥰 thank you so much for watching
May I suggest you don’t say”children of my own.” Adopted or birthed, they are all “your own!” -a mom of six birthed sons and six adopted boys and five adopted daughters….all my own!

Love your daughter throwing clothes at you! She wants your attention in the cutest way!
She is a mess ! Thank you so much for watching !
Better to have video`d this when the little girl was asleep in bed. The child needs discipline.
@susanyates4233 harsh! Shes a child having fun, if mom felt she needed a redirection she would give it.... it was hilarious its kids being kids

My oldest friend and I, both women, we hate being only children! We are still hoping a sibling will show up and we are in our late seventies! 😅
I tried telling my oldest she will appreciate it later in life 😂😂 hey at least y’all have each other 😍
