Absolutely. Broke my heart to hear that but he's know in a good, healthy home and environment with family that loves him unconditionally and place he can call his forever home.
After that moment .. When mom let him know as well as showed him that "I will love you no matter how you act" thats when he realized..this is my forever family ...i don't have to be angry anymore...how he got emotional is him knowing and showing that he loves yaw too which is so incredible that without words you can see the genuine love in this home
I'm adopted and I cannot fathom the thought of being taken from your birth parents only to be placed in an abusive environment for 7 years. The whack you take to your self esteem from just being given up for adoption is difficult enough in itself to cope with. So happy to see you've found a beautiful forever home and family
A message for Awesome Alex . Never be ashamed or embarrassed to show your emotions. It takes a real man, to be able to expose a sensitive side. I'm more then sure, that there are a lot of masculine men and boys, watching this vid, who choked up and are crying along with you. You are always such a good big bro, not only to your siblings but to your cousins as well. I've watched the kids who are older then you, show you such love and respect .You are an awesome role model!
sorry im alittle late on this comment but i just found out about this channel and stuff... but anyway I feel for bad for ya alex going through abusive familys thats just sad im glad your in this wonderful family and Ronnia Caron your so true....
I have to give props to dad in this video. He has his wifes back like a trooper... all the way. A lot of men would not accept another mans child. But here is dad just opening his arms, and being right behind mom. It really is a great thing to see and share with the world. We need more empathetic people like yourselves. You make all the difference in the world. They say one person cannot change the world. But look at people like you two, changing so many lives, and having such a postiive joyful impact on others.
I feel I lot of men would accept a child that's not related to then. I know from family and friend experience a lot of men who have raised children whom are not related but who the child/children call and think of them as dad.
@@teresaryan4956 very true. Man usually accept or process it more quickly in adopting/fostering other kids. There are some women who can't accept if it's not there own blood. And Step-dad usually accepts other kids as there own but step-moms hardly do. Women are actually what keeps bonding a family. If the women is corrupted (I can't get the right word) or not loving or don't know how to manage family emotionally or financially, than that family is bond to breakdown at one point. Father is the family figure, the bread earner, the physical supporter but mother is supposed to be the family manager, the emotional and spiritual supporter, the moral educator. This are there primary responsibilities and if they work hand in hand and support each other in relation to this... Family stand strong and held there head high.
I understand your point, but I feel you may not have an accurate perspective of the situation, from what you said you made it sounds like it was the mom who wanted to adopt father forget her name) the father (I forget his name) was ok with/agreed to it. However I could be wrong but I feel both parents felt In there harts that this was the right decision. No disrespect though I understand the its coming from a good place. P.S. : sorry for not knowing the parents names but I suck at remembering names)
K.C Rio that’s very sexist and the women is nit suppose to so that both parents can and it’s not her place to do that and both parents can make money this is not the 1800 and that is stereotypical and making women seem like the maid and men the worker
A 'temper tantrum' is sometimes a way that children use to test their boundaries and also of testing other people's reaction and feelings towards them.
Growing up with abuse myself for 8 years, kids that grow up from it and don't see any other kind of relationship don't know any better. I went through from 6 months to 8 years by my biological father I was never a foster kid my parents just split and my sister and I got the short end of the stick. Thankfully enough our mom got custody of us later but we did throw a ton of tantrums.
Alex, I am in my 60''s and was asked to give my story to the youth group in our church. While talking about my past for the first time in my life I broke down and could hardly get through talking about being abandoned by my mother. Don't keep your hurt buried inside, it doesn't make you less of a man, it just proves how much of a strong man you are by showing them. I hope this makes sense. Glad you have found your forever home with such loving parents, something I need got to have and it still effects me today.
I feel like siblings shouldn’t be allowed to get spilt up, ever. And ppl shouldn’t be allowed to just pick which siblings they wanna keep and which they don’t. These are real people! You can’t just pick and choose.
Obviously you have no idea how foster care works. Did it ever occur to you that some siblings are split for the best? Or that some cases have so many siblings that's it's impossible to place all together? Or that there are a million reasons why siblings split up? I know of cases who have sibling sets of 15+ kids. One foster family can not (legally) take that many siblings at once!! Please become a foster parent before you are so opinionated about something you know nothing about.
I’ve volunteered at a children’s home for orphans in Guatemala and their promise is to keep families together no matter what. It was a beautiful place and more organizations should do that.
I agree that in most cases siblings shouldn't be separated however there are times when they are better off going to separate homes where they meet up often. I fostered a boy whose five other siblings had been placed over a year before him because he was very violent (understandably). They are often placed where they are the youngest or only child because of the abuse. I know when I took him to see his siblings they are were very aggressive with each other. Or if there is too many siblings to place them all together. I fully think picking out a child they want and leave the rest behind is wrong. This child had another sibling at the school I taught at. The social worker took his sister out to morning tea so that the prospective family could look at her and see if they still wanted her. I was disgusted. That is one of the reasons why I agreed to foster the 7 year old boy. In the meantime he was diagnosed with type 1. The same social worker told me that I didn't have to still take him even though we had told him together that he was being placed with me just the week before. It's almost like they don't really care or that there are not enough families. The three oldest were first placed in temporary care where the father figure sexually abused the older sister who was 8 at the time.
It breaks my heart to know that there are children in this world who feel like they will be given away for throwing a temper tantrum. I'm so thankful that the kids in your family are willing to share some of their stories. I think it's important for people to understand that these terrible things are happening to some kids, and we can make a difference in their lives. All children should have the opportunity to BE children.
With a young child, their actions reflect the amount of love they receive. His tantrums were just a crying need to be loved. We're all have love tanks that need to be filled.
Totally agree here. so many innocent children grow up feeling unloved or unappreciated and unwanted in their own families. b being told they're trash, a mistake, or unwanted but still in those dark points. Some grow stronger from it and some don.t What I remember in a conversation once with a frien from childhood is. She felt bad for being adopted. but I told her that the beginning of her life may have been like walking on broken glass, but the point she was in at that time, a loving stable family shows that she was chosen by them to love and cherish forever. That all of the kids out there her adoptive parents chose her. She looked at it differently after that. and now works helping children in the same situation by having a place they can feel comfortable to grow in as an extended family. it's like a common ground for kids in her community to go to after school or on school breaks or just to get away from the drama of everyday reality for them. Creating a network of their own. Their adopted parents are or can be parts of it as well as any of the other kids in their new families. All children should feel wanted and loved from the very beginning of their lives. I raised two of my own biological children and began doing outreach in the schools as they grew up. being a parent opens a darker side of things where we as parents can bring light for those less fortunate. Thankfully this family has each other and created a bond no one else could break. You can tell their emotions and love are real and not just a front for their vlogs. Good going to you all God bless
You know what stands out to me in this video? How confident both Alex and Hannah feel now in expressing themselves. That speaks volumes after having gone through what they have. To see Hannah unafraid to interject in the conversation and Alex comfortable with expressing feelings that most adults without abusive pasts struggle with and unashamedly accepting hugs from his dad... It's one of the most beautiful things I've seen. It's a testament to their parents that they are able to have this level of healing. More kids need parents like you whether they be adopted or birth children. It is more rare than you know. Kudos and much love to you all.
I’m only halfway through the video but had to stop it so I could comment. The part where Alex breaks down crying touched me so much, but mostly because of how his dad held him and loved on him. He didn’t tell him to stop crying or get it together (which is mental abuse). He let him express his emotions and offered support. It made me cry to see such an amazing example of two parents who love their children and allow them to feel emotions and heal through them. All the respect in the world to you, Crystal & Aaron.
Alex there is no shame in crying,it shows that you know who you are and are in touch with your emotions. Hannah take the time you need to process , its a heavy burden to deal with. You are both blessed with having Aaron and crystal as parents.
I truly love how Alex can show his emotions. He has had such a rough history but has turned into an amazing young man. Never be afraid to show your tears. They are not a sign of weakness but of power and strength.
No child should have to suffer so much in their short life. Shame on parents that have children and don't care for them. Shame on foster parents that abuse children . I'm so happy their are good people who fear god and have love in their hearts 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I'm watching this a year later. I hope that Alex never ever apologizes for crying and showing his emotions in appropriate ways. It's ok to cry. You are being so open about some raw emotions. I'm so glad that you got your forever family.
Alex and Hannah..you two are awesome. I am so sorry for all you have been through, but so glad you have found a loving home with people who actually know how to parent. Ya gotta wonder sometimes how some people get approved to begin with. Sam is a very brave young woman and a true hero. ❤ Thank you for sharing your story. Alex, Hannah...excellent job! Hugs.
I appreciate Alex's bravery and openness.. Alex dont ever hold back your tears.. tears arent a sign of weakness.. theyre a sign of courage.. wish i could give you a hug..
Honestly she had to be so emotionally mature to admit she needed time to herself and being able to release that pressure of raising her younger siblings that she should of never had in the first place!
I have a lot of respect for Alex and Hannah for being willing to open up about this, thank you for sharing it! I hope they know they're making a real difference by doing so as hearing these stories makes me even more sure that I want to adopt when I'm older. Also, I'm sure this will give children who are currently still in foster care hope so yeah, thank you ❤
You guys made me cry 3 DAYS IN A ROW! Lol, thank you for sharing these videos with us. I am grateful that they found their forever family. ❤️ I just wanted to reach through the screen and hug Hannah & Alex!
I stumbled across your video of Alex and his brother being reunited a few weeks ago and I have been watching your videos ever since. I absolutely love your family. You guys have made me cry and laugh. I think that you all are truly amazing and such a beautiful inspiration to a lot of people and families. Thank you so much for sharing your stories and lives with so many people.
I actually have NEVER commented ever on UA-cam but feel it is so necessary to applaud you and your husband on the out of this world amazing work you have carried out so effortlessly to raise and bring up these children and nurture them to be these incredibly happy kids who do not forget their past but do not let it define them! You carry out the work of angels and deserve EVERY nice and amazing blessing that comes your way! Bravo Aaron and Krystle on opening your hearts - if there were more people in this world with hearts of gold like yours, the world would be a better place! It has actually inspired me to foster and adopt and now I am looking into it! Thankyou!l and god bless your divine family!!
That is absolutely awesome Josh! They truly are inspiring parents. Their selflessness is amazing! I stumbled across one of their videos randomly myself and have been watching ever since. I really enjoyed the range of topics they cover and although I'm a tough guy I don't mind getting a tear in my eye when warranted🙂. That is great that it touched you to the point that's you're considering adoption or fostering. Good for you I'm very intuitive and you seem like a good person and I'm sure you would make a great father! I wish you the best and you definitely deserve a compliment on your thoughts and actions! Good luck and I hope something amazing works out for you! Sincerely, Justin Vasquez (Denver Co) 🙂👍
It absolutely breaks my heart to know that any child would be treated unfairly. And it is such a calming and blessed feeling to know that there are families out there like yours that are able to save these children that deserve so much more. I wish I could hug you all. This video touched my heart so much. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Wow I never cry at things because I have an abusive past. But Alex breaking down made me cry. I love Alex he's a great kid. Hannah has a beautiful soul. Good luck kids
18:13 No matter how old we get, we will always desire a moment like this. To fall into the comfort of a parent, especially a father, and be in the safety of someone who loves you, such an awesome thing. As someone who never had an emotional bond or connection with a father figure, it’s something I’m hyper aware of when I see a father’s love being demonstrated. And it warms my heart that even though it’s something I’ve never had, how happy I am to see that others get to experience it. Such an awesome sight. 💚
I love how Hannah looks up to you. She seems to have such a sweet heart❤️. Natasha is such a good sister, I’m so glad she was looking after you guys, happy you’re both in a wonderful home!
When Alex said, Thank you for the life you've given me, I knew exactly what he meant immediately. Alex, you truly are an amazing young man. I see God in you, and in your family. I just came across your channel, and I'm so happy I did. Big hugs all the way from Chicago
I've been binge-watching your channel for two days now and I just want to say Alex and Aaron's father-son relationship is probably the best I've ever seen
I’m legit half way through the video and balling my eyes out but when crystal said that Alex told them “it’s ok u can send me back they all do” that was probably the most amount of tears I’ve ever shed in my life
Is anyone else here in 2020? It is amazing to see how much Hannah has blossomed with confidence from then to now. Such beautiful people inside and out ❤️
One thing that makes me so angry is when foster parents or adoptive parents abuse children in the system. These kids need stable, loving families to protect them from harm. Sadly, abuse in foster care homes is very common. Some people do it for the little bit of money, others because they want to abuse children and who knows what other reasons. I am also really frustrated that CPS doesn't shut down these abusive foster homes and prevent children from being adopted into abuse. I know a story of a family who were wrongly accused of abusing their children (later found completely innocent) and because of that all of their children were placed in the system. They spoke of despicable abuse that was done to their children. They were abused in foster care in every way possible. The abusive foster homes had been reported, but CPS refused to do anything about it. I understand there are not enough foster homes for children, but keeping them in abusive families is so wrong. They deserve so much better. I am so glad Hannah and Alex have you guys. They totally deserve it.
I really like Alex !! He is a very sentimental and emotional young man, a trait seldom found with the younger generation today. The entire family is so grateful and proud of each other and very understanding !!
They've gone through so much, watching this in 2023. So much have change, Alex is an independent and responsible adult and Hannah is a senior in High school. Aaron and Cristal, thank you for making a world a better place and thank you for inspiring us❤❤💝
I just want to say you guys are so strong and you are amazing I'm 40 years old and still dealing with the trauma of being in foster care and abused I wish that I had parents like yours and I'm so thankful that you found your Forever family amen praise the Lord prayers are answered even as an adult is no longer in foster care I pray for every child I pray that the foster parents are not just in it for the money I pray that they don't abuse children and above all I prayed that every child finds peace in their place in the world I'm just so glad you found yours amen I love you both so much and I don't even know you
Absolutely I love you guys so much I love your sister too you guys are amazing and I can't believe how much love you guys have I'm so thankful for people like you in this world because I know that at least some of my prayers are answered
It is so incredible how that moment, that specific moment, had such an impact on him... that was when "it`s ok you can send me back, they all do" mindset finally stopped for him, but it definitely marked him, to the point that he cannot control his tears every single time that is mentioned... but I see a very resilient, positive, fun, loving young man, who seems to have his heart in the right place... always be good, always practice good! Never be ashamed to show your emotions, a true man will always be truthful to them... all the best, from across the world!
I know I am so late but this is the kind of content the world needs to see more of. Hearing these stories and seeing more love and support! Thanks to you and your family for being truly inspirational🙌🏾🙌🏾
Your stories are so universally relatable. I'm honored to be able to witness moments of healing conveyed in your stories. Seeing parents being pillars of strength, compassion, and love for their children is truly inspiring.
Im binging your videos, & I love the bond I see between father and son here every time dad holds him he would allow himself to breakdown and cry 😓 I admire that it shows how much he loves his dad & & how much trust he has in him💙
Both Hannah and Alex are great role models! They did not let their past define them; instead I think that their past experiences have helped them appreciate what they have now. You are so blessed to have them in your family!
Ugh when Alex started crying when talking about when he knew you guys were his forever family😭😭 I felt that so hard coming from an abusive home. I'm so happy he has you guys. All kids are deserving of so much love
Wow! I know this was like 2 years ago, but I cannot express my gratitude Aaron, Crystal, Alex, and Hannah for your vulnerability and willingness to share you stories with the world. Thank you! ❤️
I just found this channel yesterday, and have been binge watching! This family has so much LOVE it radiates and I feel it in my heart aswell coming from a big family, but heres a message to alex; My mother always told me that “tears are Gods gift to us. Our holy water. They heal us as they flow”
I’m a new viewer and I’m going back and watching all the vlogs. Alex really has been the one that when ever he’s crying and telling his story or whatever and I just ball. I’m 27 with two little girls and just can’t even fathom the thought of a parent/adoptive parent to be that way toward a child. I love y’all’s videos so much. Can’t wait to finally get caught up and continue on the journey of laughing crying with yall
Alex shouldn’t feel any need to be embarrassed about crying. I get a sense that since they found out they were seeing Sam/natasha, Alex has felt like he has to be strong to support Hannah and be there for her just in case, but now he knows she is okay he can focus on himself
Teens esp boys feel embarrassed when crying.Its the way it is.Even if they know it's ok to do so,I brought up 4 boys who are all in their 20a now and have a degree in psychology and been a counsellor/ therapist and it's just the way males are.
Elaine Cochrane it’s not just guys who feel embarrassed to cry I’m a female and always feel embarrassed to cry in front of other people because I don’t know how they would feel about me crying or how they were look at me when I cry so growing up I always help my tears in because I felt like I had to be strong for the rest of my family but I also learned at the same time that holding your emotions in might help your family but it only damages you in the end so you have to sometimes put yourself first because if you don’t you can go into a deep depression or even suicidal thoughts because I did at some point in my life i’m feeling depressed and like you’re all alone in the world it’s not the best feeling in the world it makes you think what this will be better without me if I did what would happen with my family so I had to start putting myself first because I’ve learned if you are not happy and try to make someone else happy you can’t truly make them happy because you inside are hurting so you have to help yourself before you can help others and it took me a long time to learn that I am 23 now and I’m just now getting the grasp of that
So grateful to come across your video, i feel like 2020 is a healing year for me, was abused in foster homes, went through alot, to see your children speak out on it, as i have now, helps us and others heal, so we can go on to help the next generation. So happy to see parents who have adopted be so open to let them have a voice! You have to forgive, talk about it in order to move forward, you do not forget, but you forgive. Thankyou.
Omg you guys are pros at making me cry! I’m hard to make cry just like Alex but honestly all 3 of these videos have made me break down and cry! 😫 I just wanted to say (although I only know you from what u put on ur UA-cam) I’m so amazed at not only Hannah and Alex but all your kids are so amazing. To have pasts like they all do and have hard things happen and still be able to get up every day and make so many people watching your viewers laugh and smile and feel wanted. All you kids are all so unique and have beautiful souls. I just wanted to also add that Hannah has such an amazing feel and vibe to her like although she didn’t say too much in any of the videos, she was able to cope! Putting myself into her shoes (although I’m sure I can’t imagine half the things you’ve been though) I honesty don’t think I could have coped with that. I have 2 siblings but recently people from school/ my town have told me they think I have another one! I’m actually quite interested in knowing if I do but honestly I don’t think I could cope with meeting them or anything because honestly i almost just fear the unknown! Alex is amazing as well for him to be able to have such an amazing positive outlook on life even after everything he’s been through he’s thriving at everything! That’s the thing with all of your kids, they’re all thriving and breaking that chain of the “foster care kid” unfortunately where I’m from (Ireland) fostering and adoption is seen as an almost impossible thing and by watching ur videos I’ve realised it’s really not. Foster kids are meant to have an unraveling spiral where their kids and grandchildren and so on and so on are meant to be just like them, be removed from parents and have to live this life style and your kids are living breathing proof that you can stop this and show the world how amazing they all can be! I know that was very long but every word means soo much and I hope u really do take this as a good thing! Lastly I just want to say I absolutely love you guys and you truly are inspirations!! Xxx
That connection of Aaron and Alex was pretty much amazing! I didn't even realized that im eyes ends up crying when Alex breaks down and get emotional.. It's a perfect affection of father and son. You guys are really awesome and amazing family! God Bless! 💓💓
I'm glad you kids finally found the loving family of your dreams. So many blessings to you all and your adoptive parents for the joy, happiness and security they bring.
Alex, when you started crying, I started crying so hard. I’m so sorry about your past, you and Hannah are so amazing and you never deserved that. I love you guys so much.😭❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your family with us. As a brand new foster mom of an infant, with adult bio kids, I’m learning so much from the “Crazy” families.
17:48 dang you guys got me crying there .. I wanna hug Alex 😿 I could never imagine feeling like your unwanted by most of the people you've met and by your own parents but I'm glad they found you guys because this family is so blessed and amazing .
Bless you all. Stumbled upon your channel when watching Alex reunite with his brother. Thanks for taking care of these kids and setting an example of love and support for them.
I just stubbled upon this channel and I've cried with Alex a few times already. Let it out Alex let it all out. Hugs to you and the entire family, you seem to be safe and saved.
Every one of their videos is a heavy roller coaster of emotions. I laugh , I cry , I smile, I cry, I laugh............Most of all, I love. Thanks guys...........
Alex and Hannah are beautiful inside and out!!! They also do such a great job of expressing themselves. I’m an Adoption social worker and I’m so sorry they were split from siblings and endured terrible situations. This never should have happened to them. These two are resilient, and strong and will do great things in life❤️
I’ve only just seen this video been following your page for a few months ... the relationship that Alex has with Aaron is brilliant and what you do as a family is amazing
I am so glad that all of these kids found a family that they deserve, I am a long time subscriber and continuously find new things i love about each of the kids. The fact that they are able to share how they truly feel and be able to express their emotions arent something that every child/teenager/adult gets to do. Seeing how much these kids have grown and continuously watching the family grow, is so amazing to me. Its also crazy knowing that sometimes blessings come in the wildest places and you guys are a huge blessing to everyone.
I've been watching you guys for a little over a month and usually have a smile on my face the entire video. I'm watching a lot of the older post now and I can truly say that I've been all up in the feels! 😭 I check my notifications every day for new uploads from you and the Middles. Thank you for making us all feel like family and letting us take this ride with you! 🇺🇸😊❤
OMG! I cried. Thank you for being the best parents and caring for these beautiful souls. May God protect you always and many blessings. The way to trust an adult, it’s by listening and using love words💕💕
Crystal and Aaron: you two make me want to strive to be the very best parent I can. We have 4 biological children. The girls are 6, 5, and 3. And our son is 1. This is a very trying phase as a parent and my patience doesnt seem to stretch to every corner it needs to. Thank you for being warm, loving people that inspire so many. ♡
Im a 31 yr old guy and I am sitting here... BALLING my eyes out LOL. The story about the temper tantrum and Alex saying "its okay, you can send me back" breaks my heart. You guys as parents are AWESOME! I'm so blessed to have my parents in my life, and these kids are so blessed to have you guys. I've truly never heard of stories like these. I mean you hear about kids in foster system or kids getting adopted but never like this. So very touching, thank you for being so open and sharing with us.
OMG my heart im so happy that Alex , Hannah , and Natasha are all happy and safe now! when alex started crying i had to hold back my tears wow you guys continue to amaze me. I LOVE YOU GUYS
This makes me wish so bad I was in a place to help foster kids. This had my heart aching and healing all at the same time. Every child deserves a chance! What a beautiful family.
These two are so confident and so nice looking. Got the good looks from someone. Our life carves out our personality and drives for who we want to be. Right?
"It's ok, you can send me back". Words no child should ever have to speak.
Absolutely. Broke my heart to hear that but he's know in a good, healthy home and environment with family that loves him unconditionally and place he can call his forever home.
@@juantomjones9653 Same here. It's really something that these kids can share their stories and give some hope to other kids in those situations.
@@caliv0608 exactly!
After that moment .. When mom let him know as well as showed him that "I will love you no matter how you act" thats when he realized..this is my forever family ...i don't have to be angry anymore...how he got emotional is him knowing and showing that he loves yaw too which is so incredible that without words you can see the genuine love in this home
that is very true
Whenever he cries, it breaks my heart. But I am so glad that each kid found such awesome parents!!
I feel exactly the same way.
I cry with him
Confirmation..is what made me cry with him...i felt that
Me too!!!😔
I'm adopted and I cannot fathom the thought of being taken from your birth parents only to be placed in an abusive environment for 7 years. The whack you take to your self esteem from just being given up for adoption is difficult enough in itself to cope with. So happy to see you've found a beautiful forever home and family
One thing that catches my attention is how Alex interacts with Aaron and looks to him when he’s upset
That pulled my heart strings!
Ya I agree with you a lot
Dan Geiger because he is a father figure!!!!!!!!
Cici true
I know
Oh God, "it's okay you can send me back, they always do" broke my heart.
i always thought i was strong until i heard that and broke into tears
That had me crying 😭😭
It broke my heart💜
Same I’m crying so much right now that part just oassed
😭😭😭😭😭😭
A message for Awesome Alex .
Never be ashamed or embarrassed to show your emotions.
It takes a real man, to be able to expose a sensitive side.
I'm more then sure, that there are a lot of masculine men and boys, watching this vid, who choked up and are crying along with you. You are always such a good big bro, not only to your siblings but to your cousins as well. I've watched the kids who are older then you, show you such love and respect .You are an awesome role model!
Ronnie Caron yes
Rebeca Hernandez ?
Ronnie Caron I agree you should never be afraid
U are right
sorry im alittle late on this comment but i just found out about this channel and stuff... but anyway I feel for bad for ya alex going through abusive familys thats just sad im glad your in this wonderful family and Ronnia Caron your so true....
I have to give props to dad in this video. He has his wifes back like a trooper... all the way. A lot of men would not accept another mans child. But here is dad just opening his arms, and being right behind mom. It really is a great thing to see and share with the world. We need more empathetic people like yourselves. You make all the difference in the world. They say one person cannot change the world. But look at people like you two, changing so many lives, and having such a postiive joyful impact on others.
I feel I lot of men would accept a child that's not related to then. I know from family and friend experience a lot of men who have raised children whom are not related but who the child/children call and think of them as dad.
@@teresaryan4956 very true. Man usually accept or process it more quickly in adopting/fostering other kids. There are some women who can't accept if it's not there own blood. And Step-dad usually accepts other kids as there own but step-moms hardly do. Women are actually what keeps bonding a family. If the women is corrupted (I can't get the right word) or not loving or don't know how to manage family emotionally or financially, than that family is bond to breakdown at one point. Father is the family figure, the bread earner, the physical supporter but mother is supposed to be the family manager, the emotional and spiritual supporter, the moral educator. This are there primary responsibilities and if they work hand in hand and support each other in relation to this... Family stand strong and held there head high.
I understand your point, but I feel you may not have an accurate perspective of the situation, from what you said you made it sounds like it was the mom who wanted to adopt father forget her name) the father (I forget his name) was ok with/agreed to it. However I could be wrong but I feel both parents felt In there harts that this was the right decision. No disrespect though I understand the its coming from a good place. P.S. : sorry for not knowing the parents names but I suck at remembering names)
K.C Rio that’s very sexist and the women is nit suppose to so that both parents can and it’s not her place to do that and both parents can make money this is not the 1800 and that is stereotypical and making women seem like the maid and men the worker
K.C Rio and no men don’t it doesn’t depend on you’re gender it depends on you’re personality
I beleive Alex is going to do amazing things in this world
He already does but i think he will do even better when he’s older
I do to
Totally agree and wish all the best for him and each of the kids.
Alex is doing great right now he's awesome
I don’t know Alex, but I love Alex! He looks like my son ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A 'temper tantrum' is sometimes a way that children use to test their boundaries and also of testing other people's reaction and feelings towards them.
This is so well put!!! You are 100% right!
Growing up with abuse myself for 8 years, kids that grow up from it and don't see any other kind of relationship don't know any better. I went through from 6 months to 8 years by my biological father I was never a foster kid my parents just split and my sister and I got the short end of the stick. Thankfully enough our mom got custody of us later but we did throw a ton of tantrums.
I started crying when Alex cried on Aaron’s shoulder, what father son moment! 😭❤️

Alex, I am in my 60''s and was asked to give my story to the youth group in our church. While talking about my past for the first time in my life I broke down and could hardly get through talking about being abandoned by my mother. Don't keep your hurt buried inside, it doesn't make you less of a man, it just proves how much of a strong man you are by showing them. I hope this makes sense. Glad you have found your forever home with such loving parents, something I need got to have and it still effects me today.
charles , such a great message you didn't just tell a story but you changed people's lives just by saying that. god bless you!
Amen
God bless you! Happy your safe now🙏🏽❤
I feel like siblings shouldn’t be allowed to get spilt up, ever. And ppl shouldn’t be allowed to just pick which siblings they wanna keep and which they don’t.
These are real people! You can’t just pick and choose.
Obviously you have no idea how foster care works. Did it ever occur to you that some siblings are split for the best? Or that some cases have so many siblings that's it's impossible to place all together? Or that there are a million reasons why siblings split up? I know of cases who have sibling sets of 15+ kids. One foster family can not (legally) take that many siblings at once!! Please become a foster parent before you are so opinionated about something you know nothing about.
Exactly
A lot of times families can't take more than one kid in and its better to get one of them adopted then none.
I’ve volunteered at a children’s home for orphans in Guatemala and their promise is to keep families together no matter what. It was a beautiful place and more organizations should do that.
I agree that in most cases siblings shouldn't be separated however there are times when they are better off going to separate homes where they meet up often. I fostered a boy whose five other siblings had been placed over a year before him because he was very violent (understandably). They are often placed where they are the youngest or only child because of the abuse. I know when I took him to see his siblings they are were very aggressive with each other. Or if there is too many siblings to place them all together. I fully think picking out a child they want and leave the rest behind is wrong. This child had another sibling at the school I taught at. The social worker took his sister out to morning tea so that the prospective family could look at her and see if they still wanted her. I was disgusted. That is one of the reasons why I agreed to foster the 7 year old boy. In the meantime he was diagnosed with type 1. The same social worker told me that I didn't have to still take him even though we had told him together that he was being placed with me just the week before. It's almost like they don't really care or that there are not enough families. The three oldest were first placed in temporary care where the father figure sexually abused the older sister who was 8 at the time.
They look like Mariana and Jesus from the show “the fosters”.
Yessss! I thought the same!!!!
DUDEEEE YESSSSSS😲
Omg they doooooo
Literally!!!! Similar story too. So crazy. I’ll never not see Jesus and Mariana when I see them now lol
also the mom looks like jesus's girlfriend emma
It breaks my heart to know that there are children in this world who feel like they will be given away for throwing a temper tantrum. I'm so thankful that the kids in your family are willing to share some of their stories. I think it's important for people to understand that these terrible things are happening to some kids, and we can make a difference in their lives. All children should have the opportunity to BE children.
Amen

I wish I could open a big place and try to take the kids out of foster care and are adopted my me
With a young child, their actions reflect the amount of love they receive. His tantrums were just a crying need to be loved. We're all have love tanks that need to be filled.
Totally agree here. so many innocent children grow up feeling unloved or unappreciated and unwanted in their own families. b
being told they're trash, a mistake, or unwanted but still in those dark points. Some grow stronger from it and some don.t What I remember in a conversation once with a frien from childhood is. She felt bad for being adopted. but I told her that the beginning of her life may have been like walking on broken glass, but the point she was in at that time, a loving stable family shows that she was chosen by them to love and cherish forever. That all of the kids out there her adoptive parents chose her. She looked at it differently after that. and now works helping children in the same situation by having a place they can feel comfortable to grow in as an extended family. it's like a common ground for kids in her community to go to after school or on school breaks or just to get away from the drama of everyday reality for them. Creating a network of their own. Their adopted parents are or can be parts of it as well as any of the other kids in their new families. All children should feel wanted and loved from the very beginning of their lives. I raised two of my own biological children and began doing outreach in the schools as they grew up. being a parent opens a darker side of things where we as parents can bring light for those less fortunate. Thankfully this family has each other and created a bond no one else could break. You can tell their emotions and love are real and not just a front for their vlogs. Good going to you all God bless
You know what stands out to me in this video? How confident both Alex and Hannah feel now in expressing themselves. That speaks volumes after having gone through what they have. To see Hannah unafraid to interject in the conversation and Alex comfortable with expressing feelings that most adults without abusive pasts struggle with and unashamedly accepting hugs from his dad... It's one of the most beautiful things I've seen. It's a testament to their parents that they are able to have this level of healing. More kids need parents like you whether they be adopted or birth children. It is more rare than you know. Kudos and much love to you all.
I’m only halfway through the video but had to stop it so I could comment. The part where Alex breaks down crying touched me so much, but mostly because of how his dad held him and loved on him. He didn’t tell him to stop crying or get it together (which is mental abuse). He let him express his emotions and offered support. It made me cry to see such an amazing example of two parents who love their children and allow them to feel emotions and heal through them. All the respect in the world to you, Crystal & Aaron.
Yes I saw that too, Aaron is such an amazing Dad!
Who ever marries Alex is gonna be one lucky person...Alex is the kindest and probably the most sensitive teenage boy I've ever come across...
Alex there is no shame in crying,it shows that you know who you are and are in touch with your emotions. Hannah take the time you need to process , its a heavy burden to deal with. You are both blessed with having Aaron and crystal as parents.
All he ever wanted was someone to tell him that they will be there for him
Forever ..
I truly love how Alex can show his emotions. He has had such a rough history but has turned into an amazing young man. Never be afraid to show your tears. They are not a sign of weakness but of power and strength.
No child should have to suffer so much in their short life. Shame on parents that have children and don't care for them. Shame on foster parents that abuse children . I'm so happy their are good people who fear god and have love in their hearts 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I'm watching this a year later. I hope that Alex never ever apologizes for crying and showing his emotions in appropriate ways. It's ok to cry. You are being so open about some raw emotions. I'm so glad that you got your forever family.
Alex is such a sweet guy and not afraid to show his emotions. God bless these foster parents and the other kids.
I just love how the father kept conforting him since the beginning of the video.. I'm so happy that they found a loving and caring family
Rewatching this I could see the pain on Aaron's face when Alex broke down
Alex and Hannah..you two are awesome. I am so sorry for all you have been through, but so glad you have found a loving home with people who actually know how to parent. Ya gotta wonder sometimes how some people get approved to begin with. Sam is a very brave young woman and a true hero. ❤ Thank you for sharing your story. Alex, Hannah...excellent job! Hugs.
SixBlindKids I
I appreciate Alex's bravery and openness.. Alex dont ever hold back your tears.. tears arent a sign of weakness.. theyre a sign of courage.. wish i could give you a hug..
Honestly she had to be so emotionally mature to admit she needed time to herself and being able to release that pressure of raising her younger siblings that she should of never had in the first place!
If you think about it, this is probably why Alex is so protective of his siblings!
I have a lot of respect for Alex and Hannah for being willing to open up about this, thank you for sharing it! I hope they know they're making a real difference by doing so as hearing these stories makes me even more sure that I want to adopt when I'm older. Also, I'm sure this will give children who are currently still in foster care hope so yeah, thank you ❤
When the dad hugs Alex it is the most adorable loving thing I’ve ever scene
You guys made me cry 3 DAYS IN A ROW! Lol, thank you for sharing these videos with us. I am grateful that they found their forever family. ❤️ I just wanted to reach through the screen and hug Hannah & Alex!
Amber Swift it was all fun and games till Alex cried, then i was bawling 😭
Leslie Sheppard same
I stumbled across your video of Alex and his brother being reunited a few weeks ago and I have been watching your videos ever since. I absolutely love your family. You guys have made me cry and laugh. I think that you all are truly amazing and such a beautiful inspiration to a lot of people and families. Thank you so much for sharing your stories and lives with so many people.
Thanks Pamela and welcome to the Keep It Crazy family!
the Alex and his brother being reunited video was the first video I watched on this channel.
I'm a foster mom. I think your videos can do more to help people than all the training I have had.
Thanks so much for sharing.
I actually have NEVER commented ever on UA-cam but feel it is so necessary to applaud you and your husband on the out of this world amazing work you have carried out so effortlessly to raise and bring up these children and nurture them to be these incredibly happy kids who do not forget their past but do not let it define them! You carry out the work of angels and deserve EVERY nice and amazing blessing that comes your way! Bravo Aaron and Krystle on opening your hearts - if there were more people in this world with hearts of gold like yours, the world would be a better place! It has actually inspired me to foster and adopt and now I am looking into it! Thankyou!l and god bless your divine family!!
That is absolutely awesome Josh! They truly are inspiring parents. Their selflessness is amazing! I stumbled across one of their videos randomly myself and have been watching ever since. I really enjoyed the range of topics they cover and although I'm a tough guy I don't mind getting a tear in my eye when warranted🙂. That is great that it touched you to the point that's you're considering adoption or fostering. Good for you I'm very intuitive and you seem like a good person and I'm sure you would make a great father! I wish you the best and you definitely deserve a compliment on your thoughts and actions! Good luck and I hope something amazing works out for you! Sincerely, Justin Vasquez (Denver Co) 🙂👍
Please give Hannah and Alex a huge hug from all of us. With everything they have been through they have come through it as such good kids ❤️
It absolutely breaks my heart to know that any child would be treated unfairly. And it is such a calming and blessed feeling to know that there are families out there like yours that are able to save these children that deserve so much more. I wish I could hug you all. This video touched my heart so much. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Wow I never cry at things because I have an abusive past. But Alex breaking down made me cry. I love Alex he's a great kid. Hannah has a beautiful soul. Good luck kids
I also have an abusive past...I know how people like us feel...it sucks to live like that
@@jellybean4651 Same!

No matter how old we get, we will always desire a moment like this. To fall into the comfort of a parent, especially a father, and be in the safety of someone who loves you, such an awesome thing.
As someone who never had an emotional bond or connection with a father figure, it’s something I’m hyper aware of when I see a father’s love being demonstrated.
And it warms my heart that even though it’s something I’ve never had, how happy I am to see that others get to experience it. Such an awesome sight. 💚
my thoughts exactly, blessings to you
I love how Hannah looks up to you. She seems to have such a sweet heart❤️. Natasha is such a good sister, I’m so glad she was looking after you guys, happy you’re both in a wonderful home!
When Alex said, Thank you for the life you've given me, I knew exactly what he meant immediately. Alex, you truly are an amazing young man. I see God in you, and in your family. I just came across your channel, and I'm so happy I did. Big hugs all the way from Chicago
I've been binge-watching your channel for two days now and I just want to say Alex and Aaron's father-son relationship is probably the best I've ever seen
I’m legit half way through the video and balling my eyes out but when crystal said that Alex told them “it’s ok u can send me back they all do” that was probably the most amount of tears I’ve ever shed in my life
It is very difficult for children who have never felt real love, and with that comes kindness, trust, and many more things.
Is anyone else here in 2020? It is amazing to see how much Hannah has blossomed with confidence from then to now. Such beautiful people inside and out ❤️
One thing that makes me so angry is when foster parents or adoptive parents abuse children in the system. These kids need stable, loving families to protect them from harm. Sadly, abuse in foster care homes is very common. Some people do it for the little bit of money, others because they want to abuse children and who knows what other reasons. I am also really frustrated that CPS doesn't shut down these abusive foster homes and prevent children from being adopted into abuse. I know a story of a family who were wrongly accused of abusing their children (later found completely innocent) and because of that all of their children were placed in the system. They spoke of despicable abuse that was done to their children. They were abused in foster care in every way possible. The abusive foster homes had been reported, but CPS refused to do anything about it. I understand there are not enough foster homes for children, but keeping them in abusive families is so wrong. They deserve so much better. I am so glad Hannah and Alex have you guys. They totally deserve it.
I really like Alex !! He is a very sentimental and emotional young man, a trait seldom found with the younger generation today. The entire family is so grateful and proud of each other and very understanding !!
Crystal, it’s not called stalking, it’s called, “research” 😉🤫
We call it "investigating". 😆
They've gone through so much, watching this in 2023.
So much have change, Alex is an independent and responsible adult and Hannah is a senior in High school.
Aaron and Cristal, thank you for making a world a better place and thank you for inspiring us❤❤💝
I just want to say you guys are so strong and you are amazing I'm 40 years old and still dealing with the trauma of being in foster care and abused I wish that I had parents like yours and I'm so thankful that you found your Forever family amen praise the Lord prayers are answered even as an adult is no longer in foster care I pray for every child I pray that the foster parents are not just in it for the money I pray that they don't abuse children and above all I prayed that every child finds peace in their place in the world I'm just so glad you found yours amen I love you both so much and I don't even know you
That's so sweet of you to say, thank you so much for your kind words Crystal. Thank you for supporting our channel!
Absolutely I love you guys so much I love your sister too you guys are amazing and I can't believe how much love you guys have I'm so thankful for people like you in this world because I know that at least some of my prayers are answered
"It's okay you can send me back, they all do" oh man 😢
That statement made me angry at those that sent him back and the fact that he thought that was a normal reaction. I teared up when he said that.
That just killed me.
I would adopt the child on the spot omg 😭😭😭
damn allergies got my eyes watery thank you for the best videos
It warms my heart how much Alex sorta looks up to Aaron. When he needed a hug his dad was right their for him as a shoulder to cry on.
It is so incredible how that moment, that specific moment, had such an impact on him... that was when "it`s ok you can send me back, they all do" mindset finally stopped for him, but it definitely marked him, to the point that he cannot control his tears every single time that is mentioned... but I see a very resilient, positive, fun, loving young man, who seems to have his heart in the right place... always be good, always practice good! Never be ashamed to show your emotions, a true man will always be truthful to them... all the best, from across the world!
Alex knows he is wanted and loved. That is what is so important in life.
I'm still watching this in 2022. ❤
That’s crazy how even a kid says “you can send me back they all do” wow I was crying with them the whole video
Alex had me in complete tears.
He truly has a pure heart of Gold.
He is one to cherish.
I know I am so late but this is the kind of content the world needs to see more of. Hearing these stories and seeing more love and support! Thanks to you and your family for being truly inspirational🙌🏾🙌🏾
Your stories are so universally relatable. I'm honored to be able to witness moments of healing conveyed in your stories. Seeing parents being pillars of strength, compassion, and love for their children is truly inspiring.
Im binging your videos, & I love the bond I see between father and son here every time dad holds him he would allow himself to breakdown and cry 😓 I admire that it shows how much he loves his dad & & how much trust he has in him💙
Both Hannah and Alex are great role models! They did not let their past define them; instead I think that their past experiences have helped them appreciate what they have now. You are so blessed to have them in your family!
Ugh when Alex started crying when talking about when he knew you guys were his forever family😭😭 I felt that so hard coming from an abusive home. I'm so happy he has you guys. All kids are deserving of so much love
Wow! I know this was like 2 years ago, but I cannot express my gratitude Aaron, Crystal, Alex, and Hannah for your vulnerability and willingness to share you stories with the world. Thank you! ❤️
It's beautiful to see fatherly love and compassion, raw. Mom you're awesome. You make a great team.
God bless you all !
Alex, crying is good....it is letting go of the past.
Love how Hannah looks at you when your having a moment, full of love and concern.
I just found this channel yesterday, and have been binge watching! This family has so much LOVE it radiates and I feel it in my heart aswell coming from a big family, but heres a message to alex; My mother always told me that “tears are Gods gift to us. Our holy water. They heal us as they flow”
I’m a new viewer and I’m going back and watching all the vlogs. Alex really has been the one that when ever he’s crying and telling his story or whatever and I just ball. I’m 27 with two little girls and just can’t even fathom the thought of a parent/adoptive parent to be that way toward a child. I love y’all’s videos so much. Can’t wait to finally get caught up and continue on the journey of laughing crying with yall
Alex shouldn’t feel any need to be embarrassed about crying. I get a sense that since they found out they were seeing Sam/natasha, Alex has felt like he has to be strong to support Hannah and be there for her just in case, but now he knows she is okay he can focus on himself
Teens esp boys feel embarrassed when crying.Its the way it is.Even if they know it's ok to do so,I brought up 4 boys who are all in their 20a now and have a degree in psychology and been a counsellor/ therapist and it's just the way males are.
Elaine Cochrane it’s not just guys who feel embarrassed to cry I’m a female and always feel embarrassed to cry in front of other people because I don’t know how they would feel about me crying or how they were look at me when I cry so growing up I always help my tears in because I felt like I had to be strong for the rest of my family but I also learned at the same time that holding your emotions in might help your family but it only damages you in the end so you have to sometimes put yourself first because if you don’t you can go into a deep depression or even suicidal thoughts because I did at some point in my life i’m feeling depressed and like you’re all alone in the world it’s not the best feeling in the world it makes you think what this will be better without me if I did what would happen with my family so I had to start putting myself first because I’ve learned if you are not happy and try to make someone else happy you can’t truly make them happy because you inside are hurting so you have to help yourself before you can help others and it took me a long time to learn that I am 23 now and I’m just now getting the grasp of that
I love how polite they were to one another in this video like when they accidentally interrupted they were like oh sorry
My heart breaks for this kids hearing what they went through. So glad they are loved now
So grateful to come across your video, i feel like 2020 is a healing year for me, was abused in foster homes, went through alot, to see your children speak out on it, as i have now, helps us and others heal, so we can go on to help the next generation. So happy to see parents who have adopted be so open to let them have a voice! You have to forgive, talk about it in order to move forward, you do not forget, but you forgive. Thankyou.
Watching this and hearing how they were abused and stuff makes me so grateful for my parents. Thanks for sharing this story.
my heart!! you are all so stinkin sweet 🧡 i’m so happy Heavenly Father put you guys in each other lives! He knew you guys needed each other 😭🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I'm not crying, my eyeballs are sweating. It's a really serious condition. **sniff**
stiras1 *sniff sniff sob sob* same
haha!
I love this comment
You guys are so amazing. Every time Alex cries my heart melts GOD IS GOOD AND HE KNOWS WHY HE PUT HIM AND EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS THROUGH THE SITUATIONS
Omg you guys are pros at making me cry! I’m hard to make cry just like Alex but honestly all 3 of these videos have made me break down and cry! 😫 I just wanted to say (although I only know you from what u put on ur UA-cam) I’m so amazed at not only Hannah and Alex but all your kids are so amazing. To have pasts like they all do and have hard things happen and still be able to get up every day and make so many people watching your viewers laugh and smile and feel wanted. All you kids are all so unique and have beautiful souls. I just wanted to also add that Hannah has such an amazing feel and vibe to her like although she didn’t say too much in any of the videos, she was able to cope! Putting myself into her shoes (although I’m sure I can’t imagine half the things you’ve been though) I honesty don’t think I could have coped with that. I have 2 siblings but recently people from school/ my town have told me they think I have another one! I’m actually quite interested in knowing if I do but honestly I don’t think I could cope with meeting them or anything because honestly i almost just fear the unknown! Alex is amazing as well for him to be able to have such an amazing positive outlook on life even after everything he’s been through he’s thriving at everything! That’s the thing with all of your kids, they’re all thriving and breaking that chain of the “foster care kid” unfortunately where I’m from (Ireland) fostering and adoption is seen as an almost impossible thing and by watching ur videos I’ve realised it’s really not. Foster kids are meant to have an unraveling spiral where their kids and grandchildren and so on and so on are meant to be just like them, be removed from parents and have to live this life style and your kids are living breathing proof that you can stop this and show the world how amazing they all can be!
I know that was very long but every word means soo much and I hope u really do take this as a good thing! Lastly I just want to say I absolutely love you guys and you truly are inspirations!! Xxx
I agree
That connection of Aaron and Alex was pretty much amazing! I didn't even realized that im eyes ends up crying when Alex breaks down and get emotional.. It's a perfect affection of father and son. You guys are really awesome and amazing family! God Bless! 💓💓
When Alex mumbled I can’t do this to Aaron made me wanna cry 😭😭😭
What a beautiful story. So happy for Alex and Hannah to have found parents who treat them as loving and supportive as they deserve.
What an amazing example of parents you are!! Alex and Hannah, you are so brave and strong for sharing your stories, thank you so much!!
I'm glad you kids finally found the loving family of your dreams. So many blessings to you all and your adoptive parents for the joy, happiness and security they bring.
Alex, when you started crying, I started crying so hard. I’m so sorry about your past, you and Hannah are so amazing and you never deserved that. I love you guys so much.😭❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your family with us. As a brand new foster mom of an infant, with adult bio kids, I’m learning so much from the “Crazy” families.
17:48 dang you guys got me crying there .. I wanna hug Alex 😿 I could never imagine feeling like your unwanted by most of the people you've met and by your own parents but I'm glad they found you guys because this family is so blessed and amazing .
Bless you all. Stumbled upon your channel when watching Alex reunite with his brother. Thanks for taking care of these kids and setting an example of love and support for them.
Alex, don't ever be scared to cry or show emotions! Or any of the boys! I respect any man more for showing emotions
I just stubbled upon this channel and I've cried with Alex a few times already. Let it out Alex let it all out. Hugs to you and the entire family, you seem to be safe and saved.
Alex - don’t say sorry for crying, please, you didn’t do anything wrong xx
Alex.... That..."Thank You" was so sincere.... God bless this beautiful family... Your hearts are the purest...
Every one of their videos is a heavy roller coaster of emotions. I laugh , I cry , I smile, I cry, I laugh............Most of all, I love. Thanks guys...........
Alex and Hannah are beautiful inside and out!!! They also do such a great job of expressing themselves. I’m an Adoption social worker and I’m so sorry they were split from siblings and endured terrible situations. This never should have happened to them. These two are resilient, and strong and will do great things in life❤️
I’ve only just seen this video been following your page for a few months ... the relationship that Alex has with Aaron is brilliant and what you do as a family is amazing
I am so glad that all of these kids found a family that they deserve, I am a long time subscriber and continuously find new things i love about each of the kids. The fact that they are able to share how they truly feel and be able to express their emotions arent something that every child/teenager/adult gets to do. Seeing how much these kids have grown and continuously watching the family grow, is so amazing to me. Its also crazy knowing that sometimes blessings come in the wildest places and you guys are a huge blessing to everyone.
I've been watching you guys for a little over a month and usually have a smile on my face the entire video. I'm watching a lot of the older post now and I can truly say that I've been all up in the feels! 😭
I check my notifications every day for new uploads from you and the Middles.
Thank you for making us all feel like family and letting us take this ride with you! 🇺🇸😊❤
OMG! I cried. Thank you for being the best parents and caring for these beautiful souls. May God protect you always and many blessings. The way to trust an adult, it’s by listening and using love words💕💕
Crystal and Aaron: you two make me want to strive to be the very best parent I can. We have 4 biological children. The girls are 6, 5, and 3. And our son is 1. This is a very trying phase as a parent and my patience doesnt seem to stretch to every corner it needs to. Thank you for being warm, loving people that inspire so many. ♡
Im a 31 yr old guy and I am sitting here... BALLING my eyes out LOL. The story about the temper tantrum and Alex saying "its okay, you can send me back" breaks my heart. You guys as parents are AWESOME! I'm so blessed to have my parents in my life, and these kids are so blessed to have you guys. I've truly never heard of stories like these. I mean you hear about kids in foster system or kids getting adopted but never like this. So very touching, thank you for being so open and sharing with us.
OMG my heart im so happy that Alex , Hannah , and Natasha are all happy and safe now! when alex started crying i had to hold back my tears wow you guys continue to amaze me. I LOVE YOU GUYS
This makes me wish so bad I was in a place to help foster kids. This had my heart aching and healing all at the same time. Every child deserves a chance! What a beautiful family.
These two are so confident and so nice looking. Got the good looks from someone. Our life carves out our personality and drives for who we want to be. Right?
just found this old video and it broke my heart when alex told you "it's okay to send me back they always do" i am so happy he found you
