Thank you for all your support and to those who grew with me. Without you, I wouldn’t even be who/where I am today. I love you!!! ❤️
love u u’re so brave 💜
Like I said before
Being Adopted isn’t always about what makes you feel isolated and mistreated by those whose family your in
It’s treated by those who love you
For who you are No matter how your not related by blood
To them and yourself
Family isn’t always run by blood
It’s built by bonding with friendship and love ❤️
You are still you Naomi !
I found out about mine via a blood check too 😅
Beautiful family ❤️ Sending all my love
Being adopted doesn't mean you are alone or abandoned. It means you were actually CHOSEN by your family 💕
what a great way to describe something !!!
Her real parents abandoned her? One child policy and all
@@mitsurikanroji9548 I am pertaining to adopted children as a whole :) Not just Naomi.
Feeling abandoned is a common experience among them and I wouldn't be surprised Naomi felt that way too before her parents revealed the truth to her
@@mitsurikanroji9548
it's not just One child policy. the old tradition of 重男轻女 is still in practice today
Not until ur treated cruelty
family isnt always what you’re born into, its the family you choose that counts❤️
“The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”
You can’t choose your biological children but adopting is making a conscious decision to nurture and love that child. That’s what makes it so special
Aww wth
Good to know especially now we in Singapore are facing a dwindling growth of population. In a way, it can be nature's way of balancing the world's population.
being adopted means your parents CHOSE you unlike other parents who cant choose, and thats beautiful
A child, once no longer a minor, has the right to know the truth about her/his parents.
And it is completely ok to seek biological parents if and when able to.
Kudos to all those parents who raised adopted children like their own. No worldly reward can compensate your deeds in this regard, hopefully you will be amply rewarded in the afterlife.
Stay blessed and thank you for sharing and enlightening us.
Probably one of the best videos I’ve watched in recent times. It’s so raw, so genuine & touching.
Thank you for sharing this personal side of your story. You didn’t have to but you did anyways. Been following you since the early teen years and now looking at you becoming a Mother was really empowering.
We all witnessed your growth as a person and how it has shaped who are you today. Thank you for reminding us that family & friends around us are definitely here to stay for a long time even despite facing rough patches and more even if we’re not blood related.
Love is truly blind & thank you once again for this video. Loved every second of it. ❤️
This video made me cry cuz I've never seen anyone embrace non-biological relationships so well. It's a blessing both ways.
HUH BUT U LOOKED LIKE UR PARENTS. So proud of u no matter what Ure so loved
you're so brave for telling this out to the public. we're proud of you naomi and you're always loved by so many people.
Hi Naomi, just to let you know, you have the same story life like me. I am adopted as well. I didn't knew I was adopted until one day, when I was talking to my dad, he accidentally spill out the secret. He told me not to ask my mom about it. I also suspect from im young and I didn't understand when my mom is angry whenever I said "is it I'm not your daughter" whenever she beat me up. My parents are very authoritarian parenting style, but one thing I promise myself is to be filial to them as they saved my life from the poverty. I am forever grateful to my parents that adopt me, without them I'm nobody. I maybe dead by now. Thank you for being my life saviour, mummy daddy.
❤️💪🏻

someone copied your comment
@@therealleeseo Thanks! I reported le
@@ghdong5216 I agree, that is what my adoptive father told me
What amazing parents you have
如果你没有被领养，可能你现在还生活在小农村。现在中国强大了但是90年代的资源真的有限，在那个时期的你可以在新加坡成长，被养父母视如己出的疼爱是很幸运的了。你养父母对你真的很好，他们给你好的教育和资源，不管有没有血缘关系，养比生更伟大。
Thank you for being so vulnerable to your followers and everyone out there, Naomi! As a subscriber and follower, I had really seen your growth since your early days of being a content creator till now. Takes a lot of courage to even accept the truth, much less disclosing it to the public! Always support and respect you! :)
Family is more than just blood ❤️❤️ Your parents raised you to be a great, independent, kind woman. They did a great job! Sending all my love to you, Naomi!
I think no blood relationship can be compared to one nurtured out of love. Your family and you are very brave for sharing this story with us, thank you!
Ur so brave to be sharing this with the world but just know that we will always support you and your family no matter what
this is so beautiful.. being adopted is a miracle, you're chosen by your parents..
This hit near home, I'm adopted, I am Chinese, and I love your story. It was only aloud to have one child too. This made me cry. Thank you. I would talk to my mom about what it might have been like to live in China with my biological parents. I had a note down by my feet when I was found about what my parents wanted for me. "To live the happiness life..." I wish I knew who they were. Thank you again, I always think that I was unwanted, but I learned the truth about my province and was a little bit happy that I wasn't there anymore. Lol this is long, thank you again and I will always support you!
Can see that his dad have that a bit of fear that his daughter might hate him. Anyway, glad that you have a wonderful fam!
I’m crying like crazy. You’re so strong and brave so do your parents. Send all the love
Literally cried the whole video. Such a beautiful story. You were definitely meant to be with your parents and your parents were definitely meant to find you.
Really brave of you to share this! I can’t imagine this happening to myself and I was so surprised by how calm and collected you are throughout this. Jiayou 💕
I'm crying a lot. You are so brave to share all these stuff to us. Been watching you so many years until now, I'm so proud. I will always supporting you.
omg this came so unexpected. because you look just like your parents (appearance wise) and seeing how they treat u, it’s so heartwarming. thanks for the gentle reminder to spend quality time with loved ones. cny is round the corner. 新年快乐 in advance haha
I haven’t cry for a long time, this touched my heart. I realise that not only blood related can be a family but even not a blood related can become a family if there is enough love
"real family isn't necessarily defined by our blood" you're so brave naomi! 🥺🤍
Being Adopted isn’t always about what makes you feel isolated and mistreated by those whose family your in
It’s treated by those who love you
For who you are No matter how your not related by blood
To them and yourself
Family isn’t always run by blood
It’s built by bonding with friendship and love ❤️
Regardless of how hard they are on you
It’s how much they worry and love you so much
Not that you only want more privacy and freedom
Of course they want us to have that freedom in our teens but
They expect us to be careful and responsible for any action we take
If a parent is as strict as expected of all parenthood? You grow to understand why they did it
And now it’s your turn to do the same when you have a family of your own
Family
Blood or Not
Adopted or Step
Half Blood
*The Greatest Treasure in Life and Honour is being loved by your parents having you for a Son/Daughter regardless of being blood related or not… We are more valuable to them than any trinket worth millions*

I can't imagine being put in the same position as you are in right now. You are really brave to share this story with us and I really respect you for that. Thank you Naomi for being you and never forget how special you are to others. Anyways, happy birthday Naomi!!!!
I'm also adopted. I just found my birth mother when I was 31 Years old in 2019. My Adopted mother passed away in 2017. Only then I've decided to find my birth mother which now lives in Terengganu. While they are still here, just love them and take care of them.
I’m adopted too, but I was told the truth since young. My parent often brings me to meet up with my biological parent and my siblings. TBH, there’s hate and resentment but it fades as time goes by. Today, I love both families.
Same here !
Both sides are lucky ! Naomi was taken great care of since young and the parents has a filial and sensible child! Being adopted doesn't mean anything to be honest when the bond with your family is undeniably very strong!
something that i’m proud is that i’m part of your family i never saw you often because i’m in your moms side but we always gave you love and never treated you any different. although i’m younger, im very proud of you for coming this far.
with all the love from your family…
You've really made everyone proud. You are one of the most hard working, successful youngsters and now a multitasking mom. You're building a house, you've got a Lambo, achieved your dreams at such a young age. I look up to you even though I'm older hehe 🙂 Keep going!
I teared while watching this interview. Thank you so much for sharing this. You're the only Influencer/UA-camr that I stan in SG and I think that would stay for as long as it would! You do you
Same. Literally was in tears.
Been following you on IG for years since I was in secondary school and now I’m 25!!!
Seeing you grow as a mother and realised that you’ve become a brave and wonderful woman. All the best Naomi ♥️ you got it 💪🏻
Cant imagine how you have felt for so long but i’m glad you have come into a conclusion.
Adopted or not, it doesnt change how much your parents loved you and how much we support you! Stay strong and lots of love ❤️
Ur parents treats u with more love than some other family who is biological ! Is good to know the truth that even you n your parents aren’t biological but they still raised u up like a princess gives u the best (which not all family able to) love ur family more!
You made me teared. It's a blessing to have such parents, please treasure/cherish them while they are around!
Naomi is amazing for talking and just being so open about this topic. She is truly an inspiration
This story was absolutely beautiful. Thank you
As a fellow adopted kid I feel you a lot. I learnt I was adopted at 13th through files that I went through in my moms room, no one would told me and didn’t plan too so when I found out I was flabbergasted. I never felt so empty and realize I didn’t belong anywhere.
Dear Naomi, know that its not important whether you are blood related with Mommy & Daddy Neo. They love you & your children sincerely & we all can see it in their eyes. Please take care of them till they are old & grey & spend more time with them ♥️♥️ This video touched all of our hearts.
Your dad seems like a very kind-hearted patient dad... Bless your family, Naomi...
Love this touching video. Thank you for sharing your story to everyone. There could be people in the world going through what you are... but afraid to voice it out and I think your video gives them some form of clarity. Been following you for years, such an inspiration. You do you!
Thank you for sharing this with us! We're all proud of you and so lucky to know you! Been watching you since I was 14 until 22 and words cant express how I admire you ! You're very strong woman .
Hi Naomi!
Hope you don’t mind me sharing my adoption story here as well, as yours hits real close to my heart.
Like you, I noticed my health booklet never had my blood type, and my birth of place is China. My mum too, gave me the same reason - that my dad was in China for work, and so I was born there.
I never thought to ask my parents any more than my blood type or why I was born in China. They had 1 single black and white photo of me when I was a few months old, and 1 single photo of me when I was about 1yr+ at a studio (taken just so my parents could have a look at me while the adopted papers were being settled - prior to that they’ve never met me), so I never really questioned why there were no baby photos of me, I thought it was normal to have just a single photo then.
I was made fun of sometimes simply based on the fact I was not born in Singapore like the other kids were. My cousins who were the same age as me or closer to my age nearly always left me out during family gatherings, I wasn’t allowed to play with them, weren’t allowed to play with their toys, and many gatherings ended with my crying and telling my mother on them, and in turn, being called a tell tale - but no worries, we’re all on good terms now.
Like your parents, mine, especially my mum was also very strict with me, and like you, sometimes I questioned myself if they really loved me, or loved me enough. I didn’t feel like they were loving me the way I wanted them to. My mum sometimes also made “jokes” that I was, in olden terms, a “trash can baby” when I’d pester her asking where I was from.
But my finding out about my adoption is very different from yours. I was 15 when my mum dropped the bomb on me. She was in the hospital due for a spinal surgery due to cancer, and as it was a high risk surgery, she was afraid she’d pass on while in the being operated on, and so she broke the news to me.
She started asking me why I never listened to her, and being confused, I asked her what she meant. Her response shocked me when she asked why I never believed her when she told me I was picked up “from the trash can” - something I always thought was a joke was actually her way of coming to terms with it and subtly trying to drop hints for me all this while. I never held it against her, we both cried and simply came to terms with it.
My adoption came about when my mum and dad never intended to adopt then, they were still trying to have their own child - and my uncle, her older brother asked her if she’d like to try adopting instead. My mum thought it was a joke and told my uncle yes, he took it seriously (thank you big uncle! ❤️) and went about trying to find a child my mum could adopt. His contact in China eventually found my aunt (bio mum’s sister) that told them my mum had a girl to put up for adoption sooo.. here I am!
I tried asking my dad about it, but he wouldn’t have it and told me to stop asking ever again.
I later found out that I was adopted at about the age of two. I heard my biological dad was a butcher and my biological mum helped him out. I had 2 older sisters before me, and I was the 3rd daughter and what they wanted was a boy.
As your parents mentioned, China has a one child policy back then, and my bio mum was pregnant with her fourth child when I was being put up for adoption - they wanted a boy so they kept on going at it. I was angry when I heard this - even more so when I found out my younger sibling was also a girl and my bio mum then asked my parents if they wanted to swap me for my younger sister - to which of course, they declined.
I also found out later that my aunt/godma (mum’s older sister) went to China to visit my family prior to my coming here, and that it’s possible I still blood relatives staying in Singapore - but none of that mattered or matters to me as my real family had already found me, taken me in as their own, and raised me.
There’s a saying that blood is thicker than water - but I say familial love and bond is stronger than blood.
I’m so happy for you that you have found your real family, and I wish you and your family all the best in love and happiness.
Thank you to anyone who read my story, and to Naomi, thank you for bringing more awareness to others.
Lots of love ❤️
Wow
Hi dear I took time and read every single word of ur story but I think u are mad at ur real parents and siblings dear I hope u get along with them try to love them too and take time to meet ur real parents and siblings and be happy because our mom's what the best for there children she wanted the best for u ,and about chaina I hard may children that where born girls back then where not loved due to the government , but find place in ur heart to for give ur them mostly mom she carried u for nine months pushing baby out is also like death sentence since am amam myself I know the pain , and I think she's feeling pain inside every single day , and what I know everything happens for the reason in our life , take care of yourself but think of ur birth mom please
Thank you for sharing this with us when there’s absolutely no need to share it with the public! You’re amazing Naomi & thanks for trusting us ❤️ soooo proud of you!! 🥺
Papa and Mama Neo are amazing! 🥰 Sometimes we can love someone like a family even though we are not blood related.
It’s really amazing how her parents could share something like this they are really brave my love goes out to you and the family.
Your parents are lucky to have you.
Bless you all
Thank u for the video. I am in the midst of adopting my foster child and this video has given me hope that at the end of the day, my child will understand why we did what we did and it’ll all be worth it. Thank you for sharing your story!
Wishing you and your family all the best. You have a big heart!
I was very surprised to see this, and I will always be extremely proud of you :) Family is not bound by blood, but by love ❤️
This is such a tear-jerker. I'm so glad you and your parents are so close now and nothing will ever change even if they aren't your biological parents. :)
No matter what Naomi it’s so good to see you grow up so well and turn into a mother of two children 😇💓✨.Your beautiful love stay strong god bless 😇💓✨
Thanks to Naomi’s parents for giving her a beautiful life 😇✨
Totally touched.. n Crying buckets for the joy that youve got thru the initial stages n truly understanding that the ones who loves you n cares for you even if theyre not of the blood .. makes them a true blue parent.. a mother ..a father.. much love to you n the whole family..
Indeed that you're a brave Lady,Mom and Wife.
We're so proud of you Naomi^ω^
We Loveeee youuuu sooo muchh..
I started following naomi since I was 13, when I watching this video, I got so emotional, you're so strong Naomi, I would cry to death if I realized I'm adopted, I feel like Naomi is just a strong women and very grateful that she have a family which love her more than themselves, we love you Naomi 🥺💕
The love that was given from her parents doesn't feel like she was adopted. Stay strong 💪
I encountered this video late but thank you for sharing this personal story with us, Naomi. I've watched you on UA-cam since 2013 and I saw the way your parents loved, cared and treated you and I never felt like they thought of you like an adopted child. May the way your parents shaped you into who you are today inspired you to become the best mother for your own children, and to shape them to become the best version of themselves too. I'm so proud of you Naomi and will always love you and your family.
Thankyou for sharing your story❤️ followed you from the beginning of your social media life till now. It's been great to see things getting along✨ im proud of you too 🥰
you are so brave for sharing this!! ur amazing
Thank you so much for sharing this Naomi ♥️🥺 You handled it so well and you continue to inspire us with how honest you are and how much you’ve grown! And you were such a cute toddlerrrrr! THOSE CHEEKS!!! *pinches
🥺🥺 thank you for sharing this with us!!! Happy birthday & best wishes to you for you & your family! ❤️
I can't hold my tears back. Thank you Naomi for showing us all that you can be loved in all ways. You're truly so brave and with a big kind heart. ❤️
Your parents are so sweet. You’re very lucky to have them :)
Been watching parts of your clips since you 1st started off in UA-cam, got to say that there’s parts whereby I do feel o this babe is turning bad and yet at some point in life you got everything in the right direction again, after seeing this clip of yours I’m amazed by how mature you had grew up to be and handled feeling well, growing up alone and dealing with suspicious thoughts is never easy and neither do hiding truth which might hurt love one at a wrong timing, both you and your parents really show us what really love is🥰 thanks for sharing this part of your life out and it really touches my heart, your parents are both great people as well.
Best wishes to you and you families, may love fall on everyone of you
Ps: gosh! Your kids are cute😂
You are such an inspiration! Made me cry watching til end. Mature approach toggled with unconditional love and understanding made me more realize to value people around me who trully gives love unconditionally also. Thanks for being so brave and for sharing such inspirational bond between child and parents by blood or not!
What a beautiful documentary….! You have great parents and I swear I can 100% tell they really love you alot! Have a good life! 💕❤️🙏 U r so blessed!
Hi Naomi, appreciate your sharing. Most importantly, you have been loved. I am nearing 70 and like yourself I am also adopted, within Singapore. Back in 1950s, life was hard and my biological parents had many kids to care. In fact, my biological mother passed on 2 years back. I never hate them. And, I only get to meet her in person when I am in my 50s. But, after all these years, I still miss my late foster mother. Pray you have a blessed life .. and live forward.
You are loved and blessed very much.❤ really proud of how far you have came, keep going girl!! You're amazing. 🙆👑✨
This was a really nice video. I'm honestly quite curious about the bio parents, they sound like they should have been a middle-class family so it was probably due to not being able to pay the fee for a second child that they had to give Naomi up. Must have been really hard since they had her for the first few years of her life and gave her a lot of love.
You're brave and your parents were very brave to share such a confidential information of how you came about. :)
I been watching your videos for years. I think this is such a courageous thing to share with people. A big milestone!
so touching. So much love from your adopted parents. At the same time, as a mother of 2 young kids, i can’t imagine giving them up. Imagine them so lost and expecting the parents to come back. Maybe this contributes to your search in love in your teen years?
I am crying with you while watching Naomi you are really a strong and brave girl, I am so proud of you!
Aww you’re video make me cry !
I never watched your video these is my 1st time to watch your vlog! And these is so emotional & you’reso strong girl! Loveddddd
thank you so much for sharing! Im adopted too so its nice to have someone to relate to!
I'm not crying you are 😭. I remember being jealous of how perfect and close you are to your parents and wishing that I want to have the same closeness to my parents especially to my Mom. Naomi, you are so lucky to have been adopted by them and of course, they are so lucky and blessed to have you as their daughter as well. Stay being an inspiration to many ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday Naomi 🎂❤️I am so proud of you I love you alot❤️
Thank you for sharing this with us. I know this is your privacy and u have a choice to do not sharing it with us. But , you are so brave and willing to open up about urself with us. This video taught me that nothing to be ashamed for being adopted.
Naomi you’re so precious and very brave of you to reveal this❤️
Your parents have really big hearts for taking care of you like their very own. 🥺
Thank you for sharing this to us. Being adopted or not is just how you are being into family. The love around you that counts! Love u x
Naomi, I just wanna say that I’ve seen you grow up through UA-cam and definitely i’m so so proud of you and just seeing how God has made you into this beautiful, loving, strong, wise, mature daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, mother lastly wife! and I will always be here supporting you Naomi! And even if now we all know you’re adopted but, it doesn’t mean we will not stop supporting and loving and accepting you Naomi!! I can tell you that your family that chose you really they all love and accept you for who you are Naomi! God loves u and you are always his precious daughter too!
I always think adoption is so pure because they choose to love you. They were ready and chose you to love. ✨
I'm crying so badly. I think you're very fortunate. This reminds everyone that we should treasure all the people who cares abt us
Very touching video.. You have wonderful parents and even got the curiosity solved about your past too..Really good reminder to spend more with your love ones its never too late.. 😊❤️
You're Such a strong woman Naomi. Thank you for being open and natural to share with the rest of us ❤️
you're so amazing you know?? you're just so great i dont even know how to put this
To Mr and Mrs Neo, thank you for your strength and courage. For opening old wounds, having to relive it again and expressing yourself and especially sharing your fears of losing Naomi. I feel that wasn't something easy to admit and say out loud. You've made it this far and you continuously give your best. May this be the seed of hope to other couples who are struggling to start a family or in the process of adopting as well; blessings to all ✨💕
Thankyou naomi for this video, it was really heartwarming to hear about your story, really admire and look up to you, and ure truly an inspiration to many of us.. Have actually been watching your vids since u were young till now, watching you grow and become successful was truly a great journey for me, u might not know it but your vids alw makes ur viewers’ day ! ❤️
Im sure it took you alot of courage to share this with everyone. Stay strong ! We all love you too 💖
I'm literally in tears watching this :')
This interview got me in tears.. So proud of you..!!
Wowwwww! I’m so proud of how far you have come Naomi. So mature now. Love how your hubby supports you too. Chose a good one :)
Such a touching story❤ i started tearing when i see both you n your mum started tearing up. You are a really strong lady😊❤ i were in the same class as your cousin, amanda! She is a really nice person. Keep doing what u love and remember you are loved by some many ppl who love & care for u❤
I cried so much watching your video. You are such a brave women. Me and my family will always support and same goes to your parents. Send my love to you and family ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story to us. It’s a heartwarming interview with your family members and friends. Nice BGM along. Jiayou and live your best ❤️
You are so so so strong and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
I have been crying throughout the whole video. I had to spend a whole year without my parents to understand that they are the people who will love me no matter what. I have last seen them in January 2021.
Since losing my parents, I started appreciating what they had done for me and how nicely they raised me. After a whole year they are coming to see me again and I cannot be more happy 🥺
To all the parents, biological or not, who raised a child and provided them a family, love, security- you guys are the best. There is nothing that can replace your position in that child's life. You are the reason for their existence. ❤
