  • Welcome to Faith and Familia ♾️
    I'm going to be completely honest, I was nervous to release this series. We started to film this before we were pregnant with Ever but we kept pushing the release back because our fertility journey is so sacred to us.
    I was convinced that this may bring someone hope so I pray that whoever is watching this, wherever you are in the world, you are encouraged to never give up and find hope in my journey to motherhood.
    Thank you for watching Faith and Familia.
    Love Always, Adrienne

    Adrienne people don’t know the power of prayer!!! I went through the IVF journey for 12 years! I now call it my waiting room …I love your quote”I didn’t want to share it, because I didn’t want your opinion”. Only a very select few knew what I was going through. I had so many emotions because I had been through so much. I miscarried 3 times and lost a baby at 22 weeks. My story is soooo loaded I wish I could tell you everything on this platform. I will tell that prayer is powerful and the prayer of the righteous avails! I never lost faith and I kid you not that I listened to all of Israel’s albums on shuffle. When I lost my baby girl at 22 weeks in which I actually labored and had her for about 3 hours I listened to Israel’s Every Prayer on repeat. I won’t go into everything but I am so happy for you guys and happy that you didn’t give up! Your baby is such a cutie❤️ I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility throughout the 12 year process. I am 43 and as I write this and watch this video I am holding my beautiful 3 month baby boy in which no meds at all were used it was a complete surprise. So yeah to the folks who said you needed medical advice…You did exactly what I did and tapped into prayer and I constantly reminded God of his promises. If he did it for Sarah and Hannah surely he would do it for me and he did! I thank God for the power of prayer! We had the baby Christened a few weeks ago and I really want to share the link because I shared my powerful testimony but it may be a bit too much for me to share on this platform. So ladies please keep the faith and stay prayerful. I know it is easier said than done but please just wait on the Lord. Everything is beautiful in his time!

    I went through a struggle over 28 years ago and I am blessed with a grown daughter now. She just turned 28 years old. The bad thing was for over two years doctors in Houston did every test on me and I went through so much only to find out that the probably was with my then husband. Doctors seem to always put things on the female, but please at the beginning both need to be tested. And ladies when a man realize that he is the issue or I will say with my ex. it cause other issues in my marriage, because he did not feel as if he was a true man. and no matter what I said or did I could not change his feeling toward himself. I am blessed today with my daughter and she is my whole world. All the months/ years of trying having her was my God given gift.

    I have always wanted to say this, Adrienne you were always my favorite public figure. Down from your style to you personality and your amazing singing voice. And I faithfully watched The Real on UA-cam from the time it aired until now. And I honestly admire your growth as a person and I constantly say to myself, I’m so proud of Adrienne. You are the literal definition of what God’s grace can do if you just have faith. You always expressed the life you wanted for yourself and by God’s will you got it and your truly happy. And now that Ever is on your life it just makes me so happy to see you happy as a mom, your #1 dream. I love you and admire even though I’ve never met you I’ve always felt like I knew you. We have similar backgrounds, im from New York (Queens) and you were just always the woman I looked up to and aspired to be like. I’m only 21 and I’ve been watching you since i was like 7 lol. All-in-all im just so happy for you.

    Only God knows why exactly He gives each of us our own trials and tribulations. However, I think that Adrienne going through this is part of her unique journey on this earth. She is using her profession and talent not only to educate but to make other women feel as if they are not alone. That feeling of loneliness and being consumed of your emotions can wreck havoc on a soul. This gives such great meaning to her journey. I like to think of it as she was given a hardship and worked through it, now she is giving back to the world using her God given talents- all when she is ready and in due timing of course! I’m so inspired & happy for the family ❤❤❤

    Thank you for sharing your vulnerability . So happy ivf worked for you. We tried for years, multiple iui cycles and did 5 ivf cycles. We stopped . Emotionally and financially. Thank you for recognizing how devastating it would be to not be able to have the option to continue. The desire to be parents was everything to us. Like so many women and men we wanted our baby just as much as those that are successful. Please continue to hold all those didn’t end their journey with a baby and decided to stop close to your heart bc the story doesn’t always end with a baby or “ it was all worth it” moment.

    I did three IVF cycles, which all failed, so I was done. You did 8 IVF cycles, which is incredible, God bless you. ❤ now you have your awesome baby boy, and babies still to come. I couldn’t do it. The doctors tried to turn my husband and I against each other, and they blamed it on my weight. So, I lost weight, and they blamed it on something else. I got so discouraged that I couldn’t go any further, and chose to end my fertility journey. My husband and I survived the disappointment, but I’m almost 49, so it is what it is now. Maybe God will bring my husband and I a baby, but if he doesn’t that’s ok too. I’ve learned to live with the disappointment. Blessings and love to you Adrienne and Israel for not giving up on your fertility because your dedication got you a beautiful baby and babies to come. Blessings and love. ❤❤❤

Just have to do it doesn’t make mean we are strong just means we are in the middle the darkness not giving up on the dream of having a baby so badly.

    This is an absolute journey to hear. I resonated so much with you. I am 25 and have had thyroid cancer twice. I have struggled with my periods since I started having them, I have had issues with hormones. The older I got I realized I was not ovulating. My last round of cancer was September 2022 and my husband of now 2 years and I are desperate for a baby. I pray that God gives us grace and allows us to witness the beauty that a child brings. You are so inspiring to me Adrienne! I’ve loved you since the cheetah girls mama! Much love to you and your family and may God continue to bless you ❤

    We went through infertility treatments as well. I too, believed we could have some control over what our family would look like (amount of kids, gender, timing etc.) and God used this journey to deprogram those thoughts. Surrender was my word through it all, HE and He alone has control because He is the creator and I just had to surrender to His will and His timing. Give Him all the glory and not ourselves. I absolutely loved how honest you guys were and I'm just so happy Ever is in your arms

    I got VIP tickets for Feels like Christmas as a surprise gift for my boyfriend bc I ordered tickets for Feels like Home & he heard the music as I was watching it in our bedroom & came in & was completely enamored by the concert.
    He shared how feels like home changed him inherently. He grew up listening to worship music but feels like home moved him so much & renewed his Faith. It did for the both of us, we cried and had it on repeat. We were in a really bad way & feeling so helpless but the concert revived us, individually.
    I will never forget once it got to be our turn for the meet & greet, my boyfriend (to my complete surprise- he’s EXTREMELY private) shared how he had been diagnosed with CML right before COVID hit- a form of Leukemia & none of the treatments were working. Without missing a beat- Israel asked him to repeat his name & said the most beautiful prayer over him and the group joined. We were both left in tears. I had every intention of recording our turn but I was so consumed by the prayer & Israel’s grace that I forgot about anything else & lived in the moment.
    I’ve always been a fan of Adrienne & watched The Real just to catch a glimpse of her, then once she began her union with Israel I was so in awe & inspired by their love. Truly, purpose partners. As Adrienne briefly began sharing her journey with difficulty conceiving, I began praying for her & Israel consistently. When it was announced of Ever’s arrival, I literally was filled with so much joy & thanked God.
    I’m in no way a celebrity fanatic, but I feel like Adrienne is someone I’ve known my whole life, growing up in NY. Her family is so beautiful & what I aspire to have one day myself. I, too, am completely blessed with an older sister who I consider my soulmate. I know that kinship. & I will continue to pray over Adrienne & her beautiful family. (Also I’m a fellow ñaña, Ecuatoriana ayeeeee 🇪🇨)
    Adrienne and Israel are such a blessing to all of us, for being GENUINE. Sharing all of their life, faith, family unity, & being transparent with us not for clout but just out of pure kindness & desire to spread faith and joy.
    I can’t wait to see this series continue & learn of how you got to receiving your blessing of Ever. Giving literal proof of ALWAYS trusting in God’s divine timing.
    So much amor,
    Brunette (ig: lifeofbrunette)

    Adrienne, any time you had to explain yourself on The Real because of the comments people would make, it made me so frustrated for you. This was your own journey and you didn’t and don’t owe anyone anything. Fertility is a vulnerable topic and like you said, sacred. I will absolutely tune into this series because I’m a huge fan. I know someone out there will be inspired watching and listening to your journey. God bless you, Israel, and your ADORABLE baby boy Ever. ♥️

    You guysss 😭literally sitting here sobbing. Thank you for your transparency. I completely get why you kept this to yourselves especially in the industry that you guys work in. Everything always has to seem so perfect and in reality nothing is the same for every person and not everyone's definition of perfect is the same. Your story may not have initially gone the way you guys planned, but it happened to spread awareness. You guys are vessels for the lord. I truly believe that. I don't have children, but to get a better understanding of this different journey that is not nearly as discussed as it should be is so important. God knew what he did placing you onto this earth and in each other's lives. Adrienne, I have literally grown up watching you on my t.v screen and absolutely adore you mamas. To hear your story and see you now as a mom😭 God is so good. Blessings to your family.

    I could totally relate your entire experience! I had an almost identical experience with IVF from the low egg reserve to the gender preference to the slow egg stimulation to miscarriage! In the end, I too was bless with a beautiful baby boy who just turned 1! The only difference is I decided to do all this as a single person and thankfully my insurance covered most of my expenses because otherwise I would not have been able to afford it. The process is no joke and trying to explain it to ppl is a lot so I am going to share this video for anyone who has asked me about this experience. You were spot on with the info!

    I am SO happy you are doing this series! I get why you waited so long. My miracle baby was born in August too 🥰. I know it sounds crazy, but I wouldn’t even tell my mom when I was going in for my transfers. It wasn’t me isolating, I told them to keep me in their prayers and I leaned on my husband and just wanted to trudge through until I got to the finish line. As someone who had my own journey to motherhood, including IVF, I felt so lost. I wish something like this was available during my journey. This will be so meaningful for so many couples. Thank you for sharing 🥰.
