I love that she feels so comfortable she can act like a teenager lol you can clearly tell she is a teen. I think you’re hilarious “some of your food choices are basic” *silence* 😂😂😭
i’m no where near the target audience but ever since you popped up in my recommended, and now i love everything y’all do and are about!! i didnt even think about foster care but now i want to do it when i grow up!!
I love following your journey! Miss A seems to be thriving under your care and it is amazing to see her grow. Wishing your family and Miss A especially an amazing school year! 💕 🏫
One high schooler to another - relationships with teachers are the best! You really are the cool kid if you’re joking around with a teacher. I’m glad school is going well!
My daughter starts this week. It blesses me that my daughter has a more stable life than I ever did in foster care. It brings me healing to see success stories 😊
You are such great foster parents and what you’re doing for miss A is absolutely wonderful. Miss A will forever remember the impact you guys had in her life and it’s a positive one. Keep doing what you guys are doing!
I spent the majority of my childhood, pre foster care, in the inner city. When I was in the 9th grade we moved to the suburbs and it was a total culture shock. I had never seen so many white people in my life. It was like a sea of Caucasity 😆 I'm white but it was weird only seeing a few students of other races. Unsettling even. I cannot imagine how much more difficult it would have been had I not been white. The keeping the tag on her shoes reminds me of how back in the 90s people would keep the tags on their hats. There must be a feeling of pride in wearing something so new, so unworn, that the tag is still intact. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy following your story and please tell Miss A that I'm proud of her for making it through 💚
You guys are being the greatest foster parents, and shaping Ms. A into a wonderful future adult. Seriously, it’s so obvious how you’re giving her a loving, stable environment and I just love watching these videos 💛💛
So glad she had a good first day!! I know starting a new school is really hard, I transferred school once and had a similar situation on how they were two very different schools but over time I grew to love it
I didn't want to switch schools when I moved to a different city and still lived with my parents. I can't imagine having to be separated from my parents and siblings and have to leave all my friends to go to a different school too. Miss A is such a strong person. She's going to go places in life if she continues down the right paths.
I love hearing Miss A in your videos talk with both of you and being a kid. Too many children having to grow up too fast because of different events in their lives... it’s so refreshing hearing her talking and adding in her perspective 💖 P.S. tell Miss A I totally get leaving the tag on new shoes as I did that as a teenager with my Converse All Stars. Kids in my school would leave the tags on to essentially show they’re authentic and fresh 😉
You guys are wonderful parents. She is so blessed to have you in her life. Many biological parents wouldn't even do half of what you do for your kids. My parents always celebrated the end of the first week of school with dinner out. My dad also took me out for donuts on the weekends. Glazed were my favorite too. 😊
I’ve been watching your videos a lot lately and I love how you take a child into your home with such open arms and are so accepting. You are both truely amazing people wish you all happiness and love c
You guys are sooo amazing. Treating Miss A just like you would as parents and even like very good ones. You’re fostering for all the right reasons and like this you are rewarded with Miss As great behavior. Just love watching your journey together.
THIS REALLY WARMS MY HEART WATCHING THIS..CUZ MY AUNT USED TO FOSTER KIDS YEARS AGO & I REMEMBER ME & MY COUSINS WOULD PLAY W THE FOSTERS N GET ATTACHED TO THEM ALSO..BUT ITS SO NICE TO SEE HOW WELL U TREAT MISS A, AND HOW MUCH SHE ADORES UR KIDS BACK..JUST THIS WHOLE SITUATION MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD JUST TO WATCH! IM SENDIN SO MANY BLESSINGS N POSITIVE VIBES TO U AND UR WHOLE FAMILY 💖INCLUDING UR NEW INSTANT DAUGHTER MISS A XOXO
U GUYS DESERVE SO MANY MORE SUBSCRIBERS!.. THIS CHANNEL NEEDS ALOT MORE ATTENTION THEN THE POPULAR ONES OUT THERE NOW THAT DO NOTHING POSITIVE FOR THIS UA-cam COMMUNITY!.. I LOVE YA'LL TRULY LOL..SORRY IM SO CORNY😂💖💖💖💖
I pray for foster parents and kids all the time. Love that you open your home up to help kids. My hubby adopted and when I was in college I babysat for a foster family who had 6 of there own kids and one or two teen foster kids. One of there 6 was a foster kid they adopted. They still do foster care to this day. The just adopted 2 boys. She is a cousler and her husband a police officer and they have been fostering for at least 20 yrs. It just so amazing. Keep up the good work.😇💜🙏
The first day convo of sharing words is so true! My daughter just started at a new high school and it sounds just like things she said after her first day. Make connections where you can Miss A! You are doing great!
Yay, I love seeing that there is a new video posted from your channel! I got a little teary-eyed when you were talking about Miss A's first week of school and everything that happened because it went so well and because you all care so much. Texas Roadhouse is a great choice! Delicious food. Luckily, here we have call ahead seating and I refuse to go unless we call ahead because you can wait up to an hour or more! The video in the car with Darcy behind John...Darcy looks JUST like him! I hope that school continues to go well for Miss A and I hope that she will end up making some forever friends at her school even when she goes back to her regular school.
You guys are genuine, amazing people! Watching you guys is like eating comfort food. ❤️ You and your family should consider running a mentor program for potential or current foster parents. You are so good at this! So insightful!
Hi your videos put a smile on my face, im a foster child in the uk and know the importance of finding a family that you click with. Keep up with the way you are with the dfoster children and system because i know from experience that yiur approach is the best! Keep going
It's so good to hear Miss A is adjusting to a new school. Both you and John are doing a fantastic job at parenthood. Wishing Miss A continued happiness and success during the school year.
So glad to find this channel. My wife and I were foster parents in Dayton. My wife is in the military so we just moved a couple of months ago to Florida and we are starting the process all over. We got 3 kids (5 and under) as our first time experience. Talk about a wake up call. Lol They were good kids but of course they had their challenges and we miss them so much now. We still talk to them, their foster mom and their birth mom. I like seeing how it is with older kids. We've been hesitant to get older kids but we are thinking we may do it here. Thanks for sharing your experiences. If you ever need to talk to someone who knows how foster care is, let me know.
I just wanted to let you guys know I think your awesome! You are really making a difference all around the world. After watching some of your videos I called my local office to inquire about FC and am getting a welcome packet with all the class dates and stuff in the mail. I have two young kids and always said I would do infants or young toddlers. But after seeing you with Miss.A it really opened us up. Keep up the great videos! Thanks!
@@BeTheVillageCommunity Im excited and nervous for sure. I always said I would care for infants and young toddlers just because making sure my own children are safe is a big thing, I remember watching one of your videos and you guys said something along the same lines too. But I am wondering did you guys go into FC thinking to care for a certain age rage? What makes you both want teens vs the younger kiddos? Thanks for you time =)
This is honestly amazing! My mom works with the foster care system in our county and I have seen so many kids take foster parents like yourself and your husband for granted. It often ends up driving those parents away and leaves the not so good ones. When I first started watching your channel and saw how amazing you guys were, I hoped that you guys would not encounter one of those kids. I’m relieved to see that as I watch more videos “Miss A” seems to be a genuinely good person.
I am so happy I came across your channel. I have so much respect for both of you, and I know that you are making such a positive impact on Miss A. I have always wanted to adopt, but you both have made me really consider fostering one day, so thank you!
I LOVE Vans! I have four pairs and I wear them all the time. I only had one pair but the midnight online shopping gremlin chose 3 more on my behalf. I wish I had better self control but no one is perfect. So glad Miss A is doing well. I loved hearing her banter with you. You guys are amazing! P.S - temporary friends are great! It’s a comfort to be surrounded by people you have gotten to know and like, at the period of time you are with them. You never know when you might meet your best lifelong friends, and with technology, staying in touch isn’t too difficult. Don’t close off to it!
It’s true! I got the red checkerboard print for my birthday, then I decided I needed to get a more neutral colour to wear with more outfits. Then I saw the rainbow stripe. Annnndd then I spotted the purple and black glitter ones. Other late night purchases include 12 jumbo Hershey bars and a 2lb bag of Lucky Charms marshmallows. The bag is roughly the size of a generously proportioned toddler..
You two are awesome! We went through this last year with our nephew under kinship care and. Sending a teenager to a new school was nerve wracking for all of us
Could you make a video explaining how allowance works in Foster Care? Does every child get the same? Is it money coming from you or the state? Sorry if the questions are stupid or not appropriated at all 😅
Every county/state has different policies. Foster families are given a monthly stipend to use for the children's care and some portion is supposed to go to the kids for allowance, savings, etc. but it's hard to enforce as a worker. We always encourage putting as much money as they're able into an account for kids but it unfortunately doesn't always happen.
They may be giveing her some out there own pocket. But DHS give $100.00 in the monthly pay that is supost to go to the kid as allowances for things that the need.
I made a similar school transition my senior year of high school, I went from an inner city school to a "rich kid school". It took a bit but I ended up making some really good friends who I still talk to today although we're not even in the same state. I also had a teacher who was a first year at my new school but he had come from my previous school district, it was really nice having someone who understood where I was coming from. Glad it was a great first week!
Thank you for sharing your experience with fostering. I have always wanted to foster but didn't think it was in the cards for us. Long story short, after talking with my fiance, it is something that he wants to do as well. I couldn't be happier and I am looking forward to whatever the future holds for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The girls that reached out to her are very sweet, how generous. This was a great video. Glad Miss A’s first week went well :) also I said this before but I just think it’s soooo cute how much she loves Sawyer (sorry not sure how it’s spelled) l can’t wait for the next video
This video was in my recommended, not my cup of tea but I came into it jumping to conclusions thinking you guys were exploiting a child in the foster system for views and was about to be mad. But after watching the video I respect that you guys keep Miss A out of the camera and let her have her privacy. Family videos arent what I normally watch but I appreciate how kind you guys are
i just found your channel and the atmosphere your videos bring is so genuine and loving :’) what your family is doing is so great and i’m so happy i get to follow and be a little bit of a part of it ♥️
Glazed donuts are hands down the best!!! Starting a new school is hard, especially coming from a way different district. We moved in October and my son went from an inner city school to a suburban school and it was a transition.
I really love your videos. Although I am very sorry that Miss A has to be in the position she is in, I hope she realizes how much you really do care about her. And ALL schools are temporary. Take the opportunity to meet people and make friends wherever you find yourself. The Rolling Stones got started when Mick and Keith ran into each other at a bus station and they hadn't seen each other since they were little boys.
Garage sales.... go to the nice neighborhoods, they practically give stuff away and they are brand new or in excellent condition!!! Also, you can check out John's channel if you want to know how to score deals @CincinnatiPicker
I did community service at a good will in a nicer part of town and my job was to organize stuff people brought in. On multiple occasions I would out away brand new clothes with tags still on them for under $2 and a guy once came in and thought I worked there and was telling me how a pair of fancy dress shoes were originally over $200 and were on sale for $6 there he was really excited. And the stuff there tends to be in great condition. You have to hunt around and find good deals. Also I know a store named Khols where my mom picked out about $200 worth of clothes and ended up paying under $10 from getting things on clearance, using her khols cash and coupons. I just used $10 kohl's cash to get a pair of Lauren conrad sandals for free because they were on clearance and kohls cash is basically free money to use in store lol
I love that she feels so comfortable she can act like a teenager lol you can clearly tell she is a teen. I think you’re hilarious “some of your food choices are basic” *silence* 😂😂😭
Beautiful people doing beautiful things.
Glazed donuts are superior to all. She knows what up.
She sure does!
Glazed donuts are the only good donuts. I mean sprinkle donuts sometimes.
The only thing better is glazed with chocolate frosting
Ms. A is a purest! That's what I call it, I enjoy vanilla ice cream, glazed donuts, plain cheese cake! A purest!
Yes!! A purest!
Be The Village how old is she? If your allowed to say
jane hunt I don’t think they’re allowed to say, but upper teens?
@@janehunt6711 I belive they said in an earlier vlog that she's 14. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure.
Polopony20 they said in other videos that she's 14..
“I was still woken” why is the me in English. 😂
Madi Gacha hahaha and John “as the kids say: stay woke”
Camila Moya yes! Quotes of the year right there.
@@camilamoyac Grade A dad joke. I love it. They are modeling such a healthy family dynamic. I love it!
Wow those girls reaching out was so mature of them!
I know, right!?
I work with kids and I swear this next generation is something else. So much more accepting and tolerant and socially aware than previous generations.
@@sil_mang This gives me so much hope for the future.
@@Utiva it really should. They have their issues still of course but it's nice to know that they are on the path of NOT repeating our mistakes.
I second that! Really gives us hope.
i’m no where near the target audience but ever since you popped up in my recommended, and now i love everything y’all do and are about!! i didnt even think about foster care but now i want to do it when i grow up!!
You are perfect ❤️ thank you for stumbling on us and sticking around. We need more aspiring foster parents like you who care.
Agreed
Davis Suggs same here !
I love following your journey! Miss A seems to be thriving under your care and it is amazing to see her grow. Wishing your family and Miss A especially an amazing school year! 💕 🏫
I’ve always thought about it, but watching you guys has made me realize fostering is something I can’t wait to do ❤️
yes!!!
don’t u hate it when ur early so u don’t have any comments to read? :(
So glad you are here though!! Thanks for watching
Yes
The way she interacts with your two kids is the sweetest thing in the world 💕
One high schooler to another - relationships with teachers are the best! You really are the cool kid if you’re joking around with a teacher. I’m glad school is going well!
Just found you guys tonight and I'm obsessed!!!
So glad you found us ❤️
My daughter starts this week. It blesses me that my daughter has a more stable life than I ever did in foster care. It brings me healing to see success stories 😊

Caucasity 😂
My papa used to keep the tag on his straw hat even tho he wore it every saturday during summer to cut grass for like 10 years 😂
I had never heard of keeping the tags on shoes but same it reminded me of keeping stickers on the hats, I do that

As someone who grew up in the foster system I would just like to say people like you inspire me and thank you for all you do
❤️❤️❤️
Tell Miss A that the school may (or may not) be temporary but friends don’t have to be. Thanks for the video. Love your sweet family!
We tried telling her that, I think she’s coming around :)
Donuts! 🍩 Breakfast of CHAMPIONS!! U GO girl!!! All the best for the new school year Miss A!!
You guys are wonderful parents. She is so blessed to have you in her life. Many biological parents wouldn't even do half of what you do for your kids.

I can't get over how loving and caring your family is! Wishing you all a wonderful school year! Hugs from Washington. 💖
Same! I feel cared for just WATCHING them! Hehehe ♥️
Aw, thank you! So glad that it shows because we do truly care! We know we aren't the only foster family out there that does but we need more
“update: dogs ate leftovers” made me laugh hysterically! glad miss a had a great first day!
He really did, 3 rolls, half a bacon cheeseburger and nearly 2 orders of fries 😭
bless your hearts for being such great foster parents to miss A. Sending blessings and God's grace to your family
I love how much Miss A loves your kids and they her

So glad to find this channel. My wife and I were foster parents in Dayton. My wife is in the military so we just moved a couple of months ago to Florida and we are starting the process all over.

Depending on the area older kids in Florida are different, we had a lot coming from gang lifestyles. Miami, Tampa and northern Florida are the hardest
under $5? I got the same type for under $20 and I was so proud ahaha. Nice find!
(love the videos and keep up the good work💜)
That's a great deal!! Nice job!

Yellow cheese bus 😂 I call it the yellow limo 😎 my daughter starts her sophomore year on Monday
I love you guys and what you do ❤️❤️❤️
i just found your channel and the atmosphere your videos bring is so genuine and loving :’) what your family is doing is so great and i’m so happy i get to follow and be a little bit of a part of it ♥️
Glazed donuts are hands down the best!!! Starting a new school is hard, especially coming from a way different district. We moved in October and my son went from an inner city school to a suburban school and it was a transition.
Any tips on how kids can adjust?
I went from a Sumter county school to a lake county school
You guys are so nice!!! I really wanna foster parent when I'm older and u guys are so inspiring. Xxx
I really love your videos. Although I am very sorry that Miss A has to be in the position she is in, I hope she realizes how much you really do care about her. And ALL schools are temporary. Take the opportunity to meet people and make friends wherever you find yourself. The Rolling Stones got started when Mick and Keith ran into each other at a bus station and they hadn't seen each other since they were little boys.
how did you get a good deal on Air Force 1’s? I’m actually saving up for my own pair now :)
Garage sales.... go to the nice neighborhoods, they practically give stuff away and they are brand new or in excellent condition!!! Also, you can check out John's channel if you want to know how to score deals @CincinnatiPicker
I second nice neighborhood garage sales I got 8 pairs of baby jordans for 15 bucks!!!

Chelsea Mae I got mine for £20 from Nike cause they where on clearance for some reason. Keep an eye for sales
I did community service at a good will in a nicer part of town and my job was to organize stuff people brought in. On multiple occasions I would out away brand new clothes with tags still on them for under $2 and a guy once came in and thought I worked there and was telling me how a pair of fancy dress shoes were originally over $200 and were on sale for $6 there he was really excited. And the stuff there tends to be in great condition. You have to hunt around and find good deals. Also I know a store named Khols where my mom picked out about $200 worth of clothes and ended up paying under $10 from getting things on clearance, using her khols cash and coupons. I just used $10 kohl's cash to get a pair of Lauren conrad sandals for free because they were on clearance and kohls cash is basically free money to use in store lol
Ms A is going to do great. Glad school is going good for u & hope & pray the whole year is awesome ‼️‼️
So proud of her!!!! Yay!
yessss she know what’s good!! Texas Road House rolls are the bombbbbb
Ok wow I’m right there with you honestly tearing up hearing that those girls were being nice lolll
