    We are the Black Family! We went from zero to five kids overnight through the miracle of adoption and foster care. We are learning to be a family together and want to inspire and encourage others to get involved in their state's foster program. We take lots of adventures together but...let's face it...parenting 5 kids is an adventure all on it's own!!

    Just wanted to sincerely thank you for this post, and in particular for the segment on advice for couples struggling with infertility. Your brother and his wife are so eloquent about it. Infertility can be a self-reinforcing isolation loop, it can cause you to withdraw from your community of support, and there is shame and guilty wrapped up in it. So happy to hear them talk about how they found their way to hope. Big kudos to you Zero2Five Family for this post. It's really exceptional.

      Thank you so much, this means a lot to me. I was so nervous that I would not be able to do their story justice. Hopefully we are able to give encouragement to those suffering from infertility, regardless of where that path takes them. Thank you so much for watching and for your encouraging words! I hope you have a very happy Christmas! ❤️

      That's wonderful! I honestly did not know much about IVF and embryo adoption until my brother and his wife adopted their little boy. If you are looking for a place to send them to, I highly recommend NEDC in Knoxville, TN. They're an incredible clinic!

    I’ve volunteered with youth in cancer remission (mostly college age). You have no idea how many are forgoing freezing their eggs because they know embryo adoption is an option. No 18 yo can afford to freeze their eggs! But they can prepare to adopt an embryo for as long as they need

I pray for those who are still not able to conceive. And I definitely can't believe with what people have to go through for a child yet people are actually still roaring for thee Pro-choice movement.

    It’s pretty sad that you think god is on your side but not on the side of other innocent people who want children, who this doesn’t work for.

    • @Zero2FiveFamily
      @Zero2FiveFamily  3 роки тому +4

      Hi Lydia, I’m a little confused, definitely not what we want to convey. We know God has a plan and is always at work. We desired children for so many years, thinking we may never get children. We never dreamed what we would have to go through. But through it all we trusted God, no matter what the outcome. We actually had almost came to the conclusion that it was not God’s plan for us to raise kids, since we had tried for so many years and tried almost every avenue we felt we should try. But then we were contacted about our 5 kids. I believe the key is trusting God through it all, even though it may be tough and not how we want it to go. ❤️❤️❤️
