    Gemma is a natural mama. When she sneezed she covered her mouth to protect the baby. How sweet🤗 Happy 30th Birthday Bonnie😉🎂

    The most beautiful clip in this whole vlog was when Gemma said " I don't want to hold her anymore."
    She knows what she wants and what she doesn't at her young age.
    And because you're both amazing parents and have taught her that gift....she will speak up and not give into peer pressure when it matters the most.❤❤❤❤❤❤
    God bless and be safe!!

    Cara thank you for sharing your story. It really hit home. I was a Bonnie too. I had a friend who asked me to step in and adopt her daughter. I was very single at the time working crazy hours in a level one trauma hospital. Little did I know how my life was going to change. I adopted my daughter as a baby and today she is 19 years old. God is good! She did more for me then I could ever do for her. ❤️🙏🏻

    Darik and Cara, I think you guys are amazing, incredibly patient parents. But, my favorite thing that you do is you compliment your kiddos like crazy. You call your girls beautiful but you also make them feel capable and smart. It’s going to take someone amazing, strong (on the inside), intelligent, and incredibly kind to make them each happy one day. That’s an amazing thing to instill in your children, to just help them grow their self worth. You are the best at that!

The triplets and Gemma are getting so wise and big. I love watching them grow up. Your friend has a very cute, little baby. So sweet and gentle as Gemma is holding her. Have fun at the beach and enjoy the rest of your stay in Oregon. Love from Holland.

    This was very sentimental. Watching Gemma sing on the table and the triplets play. Moments like those are ones they will remember. I still remember playing at my grandma’s house with all my cousins. Sadly, my time with her wasn’t very long, and since she passed we haven’t had the same family gatherings. You guys are shaping your kids’ lives everyday. Don’t ever forget that!

    Adoption is truly the most unselfish thing you could do to give your baby a better life!! Cara, your very lucky to have a birth mom that loved you so much she knew you deserved better than what she could give you , and to have Bonnie as your mom who gave you a great life and the skills to be such a great mom to Gemma and the babies.
    One of my best friends adopted a baby boy, and she loves that baby just as much as her birth children.

    I have an older sister that my mom gave up for adoption and an older sister on my dads side that I did not grow up with. I’ve just recently reconnected with both and it’s been the coolest thing. It’s such an odd and emotional feeling to navigate, having so much love for someone you don’t even know. Getting to know them is the best part! I’ve also gained a niece and 2 nephews😊
