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* 😂😂😭
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
“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!
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..
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.
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
I’ve always thought about it, but watching you guys has made me realize fostering is something I can’t wait to do ❤️
yes!!!
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 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 💚
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
The way she interacts with your two kids is the sweetest thing in the world 💕
“As the kids say, stay woke. “
You: yeah
Idk why but I lost it there 😂
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!
“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 😭
When i moved to North Carolina there were A LOT of people that i went to school with that left the tags on their backpacks, shoes, hats and coming from Illinois i had NEVER seen that before
Hey! So it is a thing!!
I was a teacher at an inner city school it happens to be a status thing. I always made them remove the tags, and reminded them the freshest thing they could bring is their minds
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 💛💛
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!
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 😊
❤️❤️❤️ ps: been loving your videos
@@BeTheVillageCommunity awww thank you! Same to you! ❤
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 :)
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.
Im so happy she's doing good, you guys really do seem like amazing parents 😌❤️
Aw, thank you! We aren't perfect but we care so much for her!!!!
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
That's so great to hear!
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
❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful people doing beautiful things.
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 😉
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!
fluorescent adolescent where attt???
@@nohoranavarrochang8120 Plato's Closet, they only have a few locations in southern california though
Ms A is going to do great. Glad school is going good for u & hope & pray the whole year is awesome ‼️‼️
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
u guys are really great people!!
So proud of her!!!! Yay!
You guys are so awesome! Congrats Miss A on a great first day!! you will have such a great time in high school!!
So happy her new school experience is going well.
You guys are so lucky and brave
I can’t love this enough♥️
Awww..............U R an awesome family.
So proud of miss a!! School can be hard and so proud of you guys for celebrating this accomplishment!
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!
You guys are such are loving and caring foster family! Glad miss A is happy with you guys 💜
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
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.
I love you guys and what you do ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos just pop up on my feed. This is the second video. You seem so caring and and have such a good heart. Thank you for being their for Miss A.
Haha I love “update the dog ate all the leftovers” I started dying!
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 ♥️
Such great examples for foster parents and future foster parents! Amazing to watch her thriving so well with you
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.
I love that you refer to her as part of the family.
You guys are awesome...Miss A is lucky to have you. She seems like a great kid!
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
You guys are so nice!!! I really wanna foster parent when I'm older and u guys are so inspiring. Xxx
You guys are amazing! And love Miss A!
Hi from New Zealand, just wanted to say you guys are such great parents,
Good to know she survived and thrived her 1st day of school
So glad it went well for her ♡♡
So glad shes having good exsperiances in her new school. Tham Vans are rock'in.
yessss she know what’s good!! Texas Road House rolls are the bombbbbb
Y’all are so nice and ms. A is so funny
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!
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.
Your channel is everything to me, I used to be a Case Aide and I miss all my kids. 💕 this channel fills that void leaving the company left in me
be sure to tell her that the skateboard tag is a sticker!
bless your hearts for being such great foster parents to miss A. Sending blessings and God's grace to your family
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. 😊
Yes miss A you’re an icon!!
You guys are amazing parents
Wow that's an early start! I'm in NY and kids don't go back until after labor day
BeautyWearsBoots we started school on the 7 th of August here
But they end earlier
Yeah here in Baltimore they don’t go back until September 3rd.
Same for our school district here in Michigan. After Labor Day and I like it better that way after the holiday.
Same in va
It sounds like Miss A has settled in well, always a worry! You are truly interested which is fantastic! Keep up the great work
Awesome you guys are awesome.
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
Yellow cheese bus 😂 I call it the yellow limo 😎 my daughter starts her sophomore year on Monday
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 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
Ok wow I’m right there with you honestly tearing up hearing that those girls were being nice lolll
You guys are really inspiring. Love seeing this stuff.
I'm so glad UA-cam recommmended me you guys videos, I love this channel
So glad you are here ❤️
I love how much Miss A loves your kids and they her
Temporary schools can end in life long friends I am a military mom so social media helps
These are quickly becoming my favorite videos to watch. Thank you for sharing!
So glad you’re on our journey ❤️
New school, wink wink! U told me to keep watching...thank u! Im binge watching!!!
I hope Miss.A has a fabulous school 🏫 year. Tell her to hang in there
hecks yeah dracy is amazing i see that rice krispy treat in the back im with you girl i love them things ^-^
Oh yeah! She was struggling to get it open lol. School treat they sent home.
Donuts! 🍩 Breakfast of CHAMPIONS!! U GO girl!!! All the best for the new school year Miss A!!
Again, she seems so happy!! Do you guys know how long you have her for? "The yellow cheese bus"😂😂
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!
Miss A sounds like a perfect queen 😍 so witty and funny 😍 I'm glad she is so comfortable with you ❤️
Love how comfortable she seems with y’all. You may have answered this already but how long do you anticipate her being with you?
I'm a new subscriber and I love that you share your foster parent journey. I've always wanted to become a Foster. You're an inspiration ❤
So glad you found 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 😅
They are giving her money from their pockets
We can do that!
@@BeTheVillageCommunity thank you very much!
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.
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😂💖💖💖💖
not knowing anybody can be really intimidating but it seems like miss a is doing great! good luck with the rest of the year!!
aw i love that you guys asked her if anyome at her school does it and she said no. she’s so confident and such a leader much love to the family❤️❤️
Yes she is!!
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!
Such a similar situation with the teacher! Thank you for sharing :)
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.
Aww these videos make me so happy!! I want to foster one day, thanks for making these amazing vids! (And I was the 1,000th like 😉🤪)
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.
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
Just found you guys tonight and I'm obsessed!!!
So glad you found us ❤️
Bahaha Miss A is such a funny person! She’s so sweet!
"The littles" Love it!!!
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.
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.
❤️❤️❤️
