I am sorry that you’re still dealing with issues with your mom. I wanted to cry when you said you even breastfed him as a baby, since I know you had an infant then too. It shows how much you loved him and cared for him even more than his own mother. It sounds like your mom will never change - do you think you would want to take him, or is it better for him to stay with the foster family? I know it is complex. Just know you are doing a good job.
I think she has enough on her plate. And it's probably best for him that he stays where he is because I'm sure he's formed a bond
As much as I remember from previous videos where she explained about the situation - there is a family member since this baby's birth that is willing to adopt him but her mother has not lost her rights to be his parent so the system puts the baby in foster care instead of taking her rights and giving this baby to this family member to adopt, as much as I understand ... So for all this time she is actually trying to fight for his rights to stay at a permenant family and she's said already that she would take him if she had the chance to but she thinks it's better for him to be adopted by these relatives that she mentioned - and still be a part of his life. Sorry if you got lost in my comment, I'm not a native speaker :D
I think in a video she said she offered but bc her mom still has some rights her mom said no
@@valentinas.3752 it sounds like her mother is being selfish. She doesn’t want that family member to take him i guess so she would rather he sit in foster care. Meanwhile he has a bond with those people so he should just be adopted by them. It is awful that there are such atrocious parents out there.
@@KatTheTruththe problem with that is not all foster parents want to adopt.
I pray that a miracle happens and your aunt gets your brother ,and that way you get to see him too coz it shows that you really care about him.
You are so young, you should have your mama supporting you, not making you suffer so much. I’m so sorry, you are a amazing mama and sister ❤
If you need to put air in a tire that often there's probably a leak. You should take it to a tire place and have them check it out.
I’m so sorry that this is the way things have gone with your family. I just adopted my brother in law (2 years) this month after him being our foster child since he was removed for the same reasons as your brother at 2 months old. The process is so long and unfair to the babies, while it seems like bio parents are rewarded for manipulating the system sometimes
Oh my gosh, your girls are so cute🥹💕 You‘re doing a great job as a mom❤
I’m so sorry Yasmyn. I can’t imagine the emotional turmoil you’re going through. I hope you can keep a sibling relationship with your little brother no matter what happens. As a mother that has adopted from foster care and sets up multiple times a month for my a child to spend time with her bio family, it’s truly possible for those bonds to remain and grow even if a child isn’t adopted by family. The system can hinder the contact too while the case is ongoing, and in our case, the contact and visits transformed in the best ways after the adoption. Of course family placement is ideal, but hopefully hearing some decent outcomes will make the possibility of things going a different direction feel less scary. ❤❤
Your daughters are starting to really grow up. Analia's voice has started to change since I last recalled.
May God protect and keep you and your family. I'm sorry you're in this wake of some of your mums decisions I truly pray that Jesus will be with you all and give you peace and healing! ❤
I think you’re the mom you never had. You’re doing great girl.
You are so strong dealing with this.
Did anyone notice the caption of the video says "When Your Squishmallow Gets you a mom" lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No lol
@someone6337 the comment wasn't meant for this video it posted here when I was commenting on another video
@@GamingLife2002 oh lol
I wish you take your brother to stay with you and I'm sure your girls will loved that to have him with you
She tried that and was flatly refused. Another family member is now trying as they have a more stable home life to offer.
Personally sounds like he is in a loving home with foster parents. If they want to adopt him that’s where he should stay.
It's true
We took my son to playgroup at his kindy before he started there and it helped so much! Thinking of you and your little bro ❤️🩹
It's a hard situation been through it personally this past year and lost my case went way too fast and my rights were ran over they said bc of his age and he needed permenancy so how can your brother be going on that long goes to show states make up their own rules and I did everything I was supposed to and still don't have my child 😢
Agree with the comment that you probably have a nail or something causing a slow leak if you have to put air in same tire every few weeks! Hopefully, it can be patched. Does your brother have a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)? Have they moved to concurrent planning of reunification with mom and also adoption/terminating parental rights? Hope whichever family member who will want to care for him if they move to terminate rights is becoming licensed as a foster parent- especially if out of state. That should make the transfer faster if they do eventually go that route and are having visits/interaction with him. You could easily be looking at another year of foster care with eventual termination of parental rights and the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) if he will be placed out of state from Maryland. The ICPC can take months between two states. Honestly, the best bet would be for family living in Maryland to step in and foster him now. Although family is supposed to be first, longer he stays with a foster parent some judges will say "why didn't family step up?" while in foster care. Courts/social workers do not follow the federal timelines for permanency for children in foster care in Maryland. He should have already had permanency after two years. They give parents chance after chance because they are reluctant to terminate parental rights. And, they don't want to try and terminate rights unless they are sure they will win the case.
Oh my gosh, I love love love the station! I make a special trip even though it's not close to where my parents live, every time I visit them in Ocean pines. We should get our girls to meet up next time!
Tretinoin has been a game changer, definitely not an overnight change but over several months it has really helped!
Sending all the love and positive thoughts to your family. My dad just got clean after 15+ years, so it can happen!
I’m really sorry to hear about the continued struggles with your brother. I hope things eventually work out. Side question.. have you ever tried “Active Repair?” I struggled with stress acne for years. This product was a game changer for me. I see other influencers promoting it. Give it a try if you have not already.
Good morning Yasmin happy Thursday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
I was taken from my biological family and raised by abusive foster family. Believe it or not even as a baby and toddler, it's traumatic and stays with you! I carried memories with me, I didn't know who the people in my memories were, until, I met my biological family in my late thirties. Those memories were validated by different family members. Just saying, some of us do remember stuff from our toddler and baby years.
Do you have a foster care review board? They can review the case I know we have one in Michigan
It hurts me to hear that you and your family members are still fighting for your baby brother. Yes he might be in a loving home but you guys as family members who want to care for him and you guys just want to watch him grow should just get the right to have him. I am so sorry your family is still fighting.
Its her mom whos stopping their family for caring for him the mom did it out of spite
@@Crystal_1992 it’s The care system as well they don’t give a 💩about children safety they put kids in dangerous care homes or send them back to dangerous parents without giving a damn
@@alistairrae9807 yes unfortunately ive been through it with family members (i dont want to get into personal details) :( its awful. But the children in my life are safe now thank goodness
@@Crystal_1992 I am so sorry to hear that happy that the children are safe
Cute play closet for the girls! Made me want to be a little kid again 🥰
Hi Yasmin! You are amazing! If you’re able to, will you link the top you’re wearing at the end of the vlog? 😊
ya'll should do a q/a
If your brother is in a happy home with foster family and they want you to adopt him maybe that’s where he should stay. Ripping a child away from his only family seems cruel.
The girls are getting so big 🥺
Hope things work out with your brother too! ❤
Thank you for updating. Please; be cautious in the captions with wording. Using "really" can be interpretated as opposit of untrue.
I do wish you peace of mind and calm, in order to have a sane and solid family life.
Take good care and stay strong
Wtf does that even mean? Lol opposite of untrue is TRUE.
My mother didn’t raise me same with my dad they both got me taken away at 10 months lost full custody bc of their drugs and locking me in a room as a baby. my grandma raised me since I was 10 months and I’m almost 23 now in March
Hi Yasmin, I love your Vlogs
I thought they always tried to find a family member first? Is the system doing what they are supposed to? Poor little guy. When it's a newborn they know people want newborns. I have a feeling they are doing this on purpose to completely get him adopted out.
Legally the court has 18 month for this child to have a permanent place. Id ask them about it.
Does that depend on which state you’re in?
That’s simply not true.
That isn’t even accurate
Thats sweet you get one on one time and have mum friends. Sorry its hard with your mum. Mind yourself
The system is so screwed up. You are the living breathing example that she has NEVER been reliable. You are her oldest adult child, and they’re still acting like they need to wait more time? It’s been 22 years. I’m sorry
So true, it’s really heartbreaking it keeps happening after her and her sisters and now another baby 😣
Ana is ELLIE
Thats horrible that k cant adopt him. That makes me sick bc G knows this would be the best situation... 😢 just keep doing your best with your kids xo
Your middle one same exactly look like her dad 😊☺️
Who agrees? By the way, where is he? Is he still part of their life? 🤨🤔🤔
Stop showing your kids in your videos!!!
Wait did I hear wrong or did you say ‘and I even breastfeed him’ when you went to see your brother be born?
You are such a good sister and mom ❤
Yup :(
Yasmine, you may find my words a little stupid, but wouldn’t it be better for your little brother to stay with you, especially since you love him so much and care about him instead of adopting? I know that you have children and other things, but it is better for him that you adopt him, especially since he will be happy with your children and always play with them.
I think it sounds like he has a happy home with his foster family. If they want to adopt that’s where he should stay.
@@HurshRoad If a child has a family that loves him and has brothers and sisters, why would they send him away to another family? In all honesty, this is a stupid thing.
@@JOKER-mt5yu he has been with this family for 2 years.
I'm Deaf and sign language my own fast two hands.

I’m not ok with you throwing out that much personal into your family issues.. Because actually. Honestly. You are not the best right now & doing nothing to change it and have no plans to other than no is not safe which everyone already knows; so it is none of your business to put his life out there. It pisses me off. Your brothers story is his own to tell. Not yours. Focus on your life.
He is part of her life, though. This topic or situation is sadly more common than we think, not just in the USA but also around the world. It's the real world, and it's okay to talk about it. One day, her brother will embrace this part of his life that is not pretty but exists, just like Yasmyn and her little sisters do.
I am so so sorry that the F system is failing your little brother the care system does not help children
Nope. I've read so many stories of people talking their horrors. It takes away kids from safe homes and tells kids in crappy homes "awe are overrun there's nothing I can do" 🙄
😢prayers
9:00 so well said
❤️🩹
My sister got her first kid taken away and my aunt adopted her
❤😊 😘🤗
Get a lawyer to help you.
The aunt is the one fighting for the child she’s fighting for her aunt to have her brother, she can’t have the baby with her right now as far as I know
