    I love that Luke calls Crystal "mom" every chance he gets, it makes me tear up because it's as if he's making up for lost times. So glad that Max got over his height fears for the amazing experience, so proud of him! And I was done when Alex started crying. Alex-you can make so many more "once in a lifetime" memories moreso now that you're an adult. The world is your playground, I said this before but will say it again-you deserve everything good in this world.

      @@nancyfarkas3592 You know why I got so many likes? Positivity is everything, spread that instead of negativity.
      My original comment mentioned Luke calls Crystal "mom", every chance he gets. It was NOT, Luke calls Crystal "mom"...period. There's a huge difference. Even more so, Luke is adopted so to me and to many others, it was special to be able to call someone you love and trust "Mom". Now for example, Luke could say simply "Thank you" without the "Mom" part but he seems to prefer "Thank you Mom". Do you see the difference here? It can't get any more clearer than that.
      Your comments seem like you want to be a jerk just for the sake of being a jerk. Again, why? Someone must have wronged you. It would be like if someone said "aurora is so cute", and someone said "of course, she's cute, why wouldn't she be cute?". To me, those type of responses don't belong anywhere. Should we all just keep quiet and be afraid to awake captain obvious or whatever kick you're on? The answer is NO...what's plain to you might be special to others, so it's best to be respectful without coming in hot and then trying to play others as being butthurt. You can't have it both ways.

His loving home with his amazing family whom love him and the others so so much! I LOVE it!!! Also, Lucas. I bet he'd be an architect or construction worker of some type. He seems like he's always helping to build stuff. He seems very smart! I see a very bright future ahead of him and the others!!! Can't wait to see what they do as they grow up!!

I really like getting to just come along with this trip. I've never been to NY because due to someone getting sick last minute, we had to cancel our trip, and it's been years since then, and I've still not been able to go. Someday though.

    When Alex got emotional I also became emotional. I couldn’t help but think that Alex’s life (and all your children’s lives) could have been very different if he wasn’t adopted into your family. He is an amazing young man and has overcome so much in his life. This trip is something he dreamt about for a long time and something he thought would never been possible living in foster care and group homes. There is no doubt that his adoption changed his life in a big way and was able to make his dreams come true.

They had their trip already planned. Being a foster child, I was under our County supervision. Some very amazing, anonymous people contacted my judge. My gramma gave me $250.00 and my plane ticket💞 some other gracious people gave me money as well. I was there for a whole month.
    I’m almost 58 and my son 37, is a MST. Sergeant in AF.

    I love that your reaction to new experiences is as innocent and exciting as the kids. It bothers me that anyone would comment that you get over-excited by simple things. I actually think that is what makes your family so unique. They appreciate simple things as much as they do the big things. Stay that way. We don't experience things the same way or with the same enthusiasm. As Oscar Wilde once said, "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken. "

    Thank you! I never thought that I would get to see New York City. You have no idea. I really enjoyed the whole Statue of Liberty tour. Max,you are not alone. Elevators in tall buildings make me ill. I even get sick when I am high up in an indoor arena. I am fine in outdoor stadiums where I can feel the wind.

    Thank you for 'taking mean this trip with you. I laughed so many times. "Wake up." I have wanted to go to see all these sites in New York too. I have ancestors who came through Ellis Island. The Statue of Liberty, WOW. I think was smiling through both videos of you leaving and making it to New York and this video. My heart was with you. This was fun seeing things through all your eyes. I learned so much and saw so much. This is the best . Crystal I would love to hang around you for the day. I love to get excited about things and sometimes I feel silly.

    I also was raised by a single mom and had barely left my home state until my mid 20s, and even now have only left a few times because money is always tight. So I totally understand the little things being super cool to you! I'm going to see Tipper play at Red Rocks in 3 weeks and I've never been to Colorado so I'm sooo excited I could cry and I honestly probably will! Something makes me a little grateful for growing up just getting by because it makes you really appreciate things more.

    Everytime you do something funny like trips, going to venues, parties ect, I think in Lucas and Savannah, Lucas must be over the moon so do the rest of the family but thinking how was their live just a year ago. It's inspiring.

    Alex - in that moment you felt the hand of God reach out to you - letting you know that everything you been through led you to that exact moment and he just telling you know that you are EXACTLY (& going) where you're meant to be (and go in this life). Divine intervention...is so moving, I cried too. I felt it just watching you. Crystal...no words on the magical, miracle you are. You (and Aaron too) literally on an angel(s) on earth. If the human race could just hv a could sprinkle of that Petit magic...wow, what a wonderful world it would be.... ❤❤❤

    The way your family loves and supports one another is very touching to me! I didn't have that, so it is nice to see love like this exists in families! Also, it is apparent how loved, accepted, and valued the teen boys feel with how open they are with their feelings and affection! :-) It was touching to me, too, that Alex was so touched by the trip you folks shared with him; he is a loving and kind soul! It would be awesome for me to spend a day with all of you! love, Bob
