    What I find special about this couple is they didn’t hesitate to adopt the 2 older siblings. Sadly it’s rare for older kids specifically teens to be adopted out of foster care. Im so happy all of them get to stay together.

    My family runs an orphanage and the most bittersweet thing we experience is seeing our kids finding their own families and getting the love and opportunities that they deserve. Bittersweet because we have to part with the children that we’ve taken care of for years and that we have already considered as family.

    How wonderful for this trip to Hawaii! However, the best part is that 4 children have parents that chose them, all 4 of them!

    Those are my kids I'm the birth mom to all 4. And this was one of the best things I've ever done for my children. It was one of the hardest I ever done at the same time. Letting them go was hard. But they are getting the best life ever. God blessed my kids with great people l. To give them what I couldn't in life. Show them places I never could have. Thank you for keeping them together. God answered me when I prayed just to know how they are. Thank you

    I would love to adopt, the problem I’m facing is with my pathetic teacher salary and the 30% increase on rent prices, I can’t afford to live in my own apartment.

      I wish you guys got more money and that all teachers didn’t get the same amount of money and instead it was based on how much work and effort you put in since some of my teachers are amazing and deserve so much more money and recognition for their work, effort, and attitude. My special Ed teacher has a service animal and has many mental and physical problems herself like POTS, ADHD, double jointed knees, allergies, glasses, etc. She deserves so much more money considering she’s having to deal with some horrible special Ed kids, the education system, teachers, etc and still being happy and nice at the end of the day. Plus having to fight both the education system and teachers just to get the help and accommodations we need to succeed.

      I relate. I would love to adopt. I’ve always wanted to be a mom, but I’m single and have fertility issues. However, with only my teaching salary, I can barely afford to take care of my own needs.

    This story is INCREDIBLE. I'm thrilled for these kids.
    But....
    Did you have to make them sit through that CRINGEfest of Hawaiian dancing?
    I'm second-hand embarrassed for everyone involved in this.
    GMA, get with the times. Are you going for the old people demographic? Haven't we aged out of people who would find this entertaining? Soooo outdated.
    Again, bless this family for adopting these kids, and bless these kids for sitting through that CRINGEfest dance segment, haha.

      I wouldn't say it quite like that, but it felt a little bizarre to hear a heartwarming story and suddenly it's like an ad for Hawaii on Wheel of Fortune or something. But I bet they'll love it. The little kids should probably watch some old sitcom episodes where they go to Hawaii, like the Brady Bunch or Full House.

      I'd have thought I was on candid camera, practical jokes, or maybe Ashton Kutcher was nearby, and ready to punk me.

      @@saraallred4435 I was watching the older kids' faces, especially the girl, and she looked genuinely surprised and excited when they announced it. But I think it started to feel a little cheesy to her.
