Thank you for doing a Q&A Breahna! I love your laugh and bubbly personality! You and Rhia are almost twins!!! Congratulations on your upcoming addition of your Baby Girl!! 💗 Can’t wait to hear what you’ve decided to name her!!
She is definitely my mini me! 😂 Thank you, it's starting to get close and feeling more real! ❤
It was fun getting to know you Breahna. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the videos.
You so remind me of my cousin, who Im very close to! I wouldn't be surprised if Bre has ADHD & PDA. Sounds like she's working super hard ❤. Congrats on the baby! 👶🏻
Thank you! PDA as in the one that comes with autism? Just curious because I hadn't heard about it until recently.
@@TheConnleyClan Yes, PDA goes hand in hand with Autism. I am on the spectrum myself and I noticed so many similarities between your daughter and myself. Has she been diagnosed with ASD?
No, she has never been diagnosed with ASD, but we do have some upcoming screenings. 😊
@TheConnleyClan just like you can have sensory processing disorder w/out Autism, PDA can also be linked to ADHD instead. It's pretty new, so I think they're still figuring it out :)
Very good video! It was fun to watch and see you two interact.
I wish Breahna well with her responsibility of maturity maturing, especially since she is pregnant and will need to grow up😊.
I'm in the middle of watching this video, and I'm enjoying it. I can relate to certain aspects of emotional early childhood memories; that is how I view whatever it was in Brianna's remembering in your family's 'coming together' to be a Real Family'.
Anxiety, Fears,and all other descriptions of what I think of as emotions/feelings...I, as an adult now, but how I look back at my own childhood; that even though I am now 61 - as a young child - and I think I have commented in the past on other videos as to how I see the similarities b/w what I have gone through and how I perceive the beauty of your Family w the love b/w each other. I was a 'natural' foster to adopt situation of what I think was typical for that time.
My bio parents were older than my peer-aged friends, w my only other bio relative was 16y old brother..and yet (or maybe it was normal for the age that I was then)...I often felt very alone and left out in various situations (which I often still feel the same emotions as I did as a young child; that those early memories are imprinted in my brain such that I need to retrain my mind w feelings /emotions that my Life as I have grown up, has changed in may ways and that my Self must join along.
As your Brianna talked about the foster/adoption that was happening around her as well as the name c, reminded me of having been the only foster child b/w two Jewish families trying to help one another while I was the 'pawn' in the middle being helped but all I felt was absolute confusion!
From my ages of 2½-4½, my bio family had relief from me while this other family of a similar age came in and 'swooped me away to a home of emotional/physical home of safety'. In one home, I was called Cindy, and in the other home, I was called Michelle. The name change was the things that has stuck w me the most.
It was every weekend! Every weekend for two years, two different names in two similar yet different families.
Later, as a teenager, I felt even more betrayed and even more confused. It was only at my age of 19, after I had left home and moved to Israel (where I still live), after I had married and divorced, w the required legal document of the divorce, and later learned that this document must have all the names one is known by
However, I had just found out that I was adopted, and I realized how my early name changes had occurred...but I told the religious people of the other names...
As an adult I then changed my name legally to eat it is now...
Blessings, love and prayers for all, from Israel.
Peace on Earth in the World!

Wow, what a confusing time for you! Things like you described make it very difficult for a person to understand who they truly are. With foster care and adoption there can be feelings of abandonment and not knowing who you are because you don't know your birth family. This is why we find it SO important to keep relationships with any birth family we can. It can be hard to figure out who you are, but it sounds like you know yourself very well, which is a wonderful thing. Sometimes it's hard to make peace with your past, but can be a very rewarding thing as it helps you to move forward. ❤ Thank you for sharing your story!
Good luck with your baby girl. It's good to get to know your oldest daughter.
Such a fun video. My daughter from a previous relationship has an extremely pale complex and can’t tan and my boys are half Mexican so we can relate to that. My middle boy is August 15, and I’m so thankful that Bre knows now why you cared so much… she will really understand when she has her baby girl. ❤️
Prayers for a happy & healthy pregnancy. Can’t wait to hear what name you choose.
I totally agree, she will understand even more when her little girl is born. ❤ Thank you!
Anxiety is tough! I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety and CPTSD. I understand the anxiety. With me it was going places, but now with me 41 going to be 42 in Sept 17 and am off all medications, but make sure you are able to handle it make sure you have a great support system and a therapist. I wanted off the medication due to it making me throw up. But always reach out when you are stuck.
Beautiful personality and beautiful young woman. God bless you and your family.
Hi it's Lisa from CT. Don't know how to fix my name lol but I've been with you all from geez Gavin was in diapers .
Love to you all.
You've been with us for a LONG time! Thank you for being part of our Connley Clan family. I hope you are having fun coming on our adventures with us! ❤
It was nice getting to know you Brianna ❤
Nice to see and learn more about Bre ❤
Hello Brianna nice to meet you a Q&A 👏👏👏👏glad to see the Connley fam take care❤😊
What a beautiful girl Brianna is ❤keep believing in yourself ❤
You need to learn the word epidural. Thats what i did and had no pain in labor and it held over for my c-section.
😂😂😂 I'm sure she will definitely have one. I had to have a spinal tap done for my c-section and then found out I was allergic to morphine!
I’m not a big hugger
Is Shawn Brianna's dad?
No the mom and her father slit up then when she was around 3 or 5 her mom started dating him
Ashlee, you are good, and were pretty close! I was never married to Breahna's dad and we split when she was a year old, so Shaun is her step dad. I think I mention it around 15:54 time stamp.
23 seems to be the age that my kids started understanding why I did and said certain things as a mom. That is the age they became a adult and our relationship changed.❤
