I totally lost it at 'Big sister, big sister. You came for me' ❤️

The world is a better place thanks to people with such large hearts.

This lady speaks so eloquently, takes you on the journey with her and you feel every moment of it with her. A most gifted communicator. I could listen to this story over and cried like a baby. It’s worthy of making a movie. If there is a prize out there for KZfaq videos then this surely deserves it. I’m humbled. Praise the Lord.

She’s such an animated story teller! It’s beautiful. The world would be a better place if every able and loving family just adopted one child.

I give you so much credit, keep your great work up adopting your special children. I am a 66 year old foster mom and right now I have 2 year old twins,18 month old and a 12 year old. Meant to say keep your great work up. I know it is different fostering two twin boys than adopting them. I have a wonderful son and daughter 24 and 26’from foster care it was one of the best things in my life. I got the best of both adopting and bio kids like you. You both are amazing. I am taking this journey alone. But I would have no other way it is great not that it isn’t hard at time. But the good out weights the hard.

what a testimony of God's grace...and mercy...

I love this woman! Amanda is awesome!

I don't think I have ever cried so hard at a video like this. I have watched so many adoption videos and I have never been as moved as in this one. I hope some day I can adopt as many beautiful children as you. Adoption is truly a beautiful thing

The mom is the realest mother, thank you for being so open about your doubt and fears. Amazing family

I'm 17 and have planned to adopt ever since I was 10 and didn't fully understand it. At the moment I teach sunday school at my church and 3 of the kids are adopted and I love them to bit. I have no idea what their lives would of been like without being adopted, they we're in a bad situation. your story makes me want to adopt even more because you have change these childrens life's and continue to change life's. thank you

I can feel the warmth of this lady through the screen. Those kids are so lucky to be part of their family x

"We have room in our home, we have room in our hearts..." Touching words. Amazing family!

She is an excellent story teller. Draws you in. Noone interrupted.

This world is SO HORRIBLE to so many innocent people, especially children, the most vulnerable of us all. And watching your family story made me realise HOW MUCH POWER each of actually have to change the world. If each family in this world capable of adopting a child did so, we’d be living in a much better world.

Beautiful! It's incredible how many God interventions this family experienced and how well they listened. I pray that adoption will be only future as well. I'm studying psychology hoping to work with orphans and also hopefully adopt kids of my own one day.

2 of my cousins were adopted and so is my best friend's brother. Adoption is beautiful to see unfold and it's sad that more people can't hear these children's voices.

I got chills so many times, what a beautiful family! I know I will adopt one day & thank you for sharing your story

I cried at every word this great woman of God said in this video. She is so authentic, no pretense at all about her feelings of fear at every adoption they made. Yet rightly expressing the greater power above that made it possible even if its humanly impossible. In this video, I really think adoption is a God thing... Thank you for sharing this. Blessings to your family😍😍😍

That's my family in the video!

I think this is one of my favorite adoption stories. I love that you moved there and kept them connected with where they are from.

We need a love button for this.

you should do a movie on this with my family

I'm so impressed by your loving story. You and your husband are so strong in your faith, and you have taught your family this same faith. God has great love and belief in you all. You are so special to him. Thank you for sharing your stories!! Blessings on your family

She is great! She was our home study lady for our China adoption. I would totally recommend her!

This is the best story ive ever heard.esp about having God leading you and opening doors.i adopted a 3wk boy whos now 4yrs old.id love to have a girl.

I cried seeing this video Amanda is awesome women U r unbelievable I wish I could adopt in future

I love this family! I found this video in my list and watched on a whim. I was so very touched and moved. What a wonderful family and story!

what an amazing family and amazing woman!

you are absolutely incredible and inspirational people. i'm not religious but your story is so beautiful and it moved me so much, thank you for sharing it 💛

Oh my goodness, came to bed to watch some easy, ‘put me to sleep’ kind of video……then came across this. You are the most amazing and blessed people….and God has truly blessed those children by choosing you to parent them 🙏

I watched this video about a year ago, and the words keep ringing through my head, I tried so hard to find this video again, and now, I am so SO grateful that it popped up in my recommendations

Your description of when you first saw Naomi, is so beautiful. Pure beauty. Thank you.

What a amazing story, what a woman ❤️

Wow, wow, wow and another really BIG WOW! Time I re-opened my eyes and heart to "THE" Voice! Thank you so much!

This video is the ping I needed from God. Thank you for helping inspire my journey of adoption

Your kiddos are so great . I am a foster mom. I adopted two years ago they are grown.And know I am a foster parent of 5 kiddos. I love taking care of these kiddos.

A revelation is a miracle, not a coincidence. ❤️🙏 If I had had a supportive and hands-on husband I would have done the same as you have. You're an amazing Family, with phenomenal Parents. Blessings to you all. ❤️

Beautiful kids, Beautiful family!!!!!!!!! You are an inspiration, and will be highly rewarded! I wish I could adopt a child! (sigh) Amanda is a gift sent to this world by God!

This is the love this world needs in every one's heart ,courage thank God 4 such families.

My heart heard you Amanda! Your passion amazes me and it feels like my heart is speaking to me. I am single but I always have a heart for adoption and my desire is to adopt one day.

What a beautiful family. What a relationship with Christ. Ive always wanted to adopt and was always pulled to China also. I never did, and ive regretted it always. Im 56 now. Too old. But i like to believe that you and your husband and those children were meant to be. And god bless Eleanor for getting that Ping also, she might not have recognized it for what it was at 7 yrs old but we all do. God Bless and Thank You

I watch this every time I'm having a bad day, I love this woman and her family. Xx

This is my favorite adoption story. I love that you moved there and kept them connected to their origins.Plus so glad you moved forward to a professional phase where you can extend your effectiveness in all ways. You and your family are genuinely inspirational, yet clearly realistic regarding the efforts required.You all do the work well enough to achieve so much.❤️

Family, the feeling of home, belonging, unconditional love, connection, bonding....... I was adopted at 5 weeks old and I so wish I could relate to the above words......... I am 45 and still am looking for home it sounds like this family can provide primal love to their children and hope with all of me they will feel whole now and forever. Health much love and light to ALL (the gal from oz)

wow. amazing, I am speechless truly.

I'm 17 years old and my biggest dream since I was 12 years old has been to adopt a child when I get older. This video makes me want to do that even more! Can't wait to be an adult with my own family. - Hrafnhildur from Iceland

This family is so inspirational for me! I have been praying on adoption for many years and now we are preparing to start our journey. This family is also very inspiring when it comes to faith over fear. The power of GOD'S love for us and the way HE moves in our lives when we just surrender to him... I am all in for adoption!! I cannot wait to begin the journey. My husband and I are so excited for this love to spill over and grow our family.

These people are amazing. I wish I had that kind of connection with God.

Amanda you are remarkable. You and your husband have my utmost respect. This is Christianity with meaning; looking after orphans. To me you are th richest parents on earth .God bless you.

God bless you so so much. I have felt compelled to set up a Children's home, mainly orphans, over the years but have always held back because of all kinds of excuses.....finances, and all manner of 'reasons'.... I keep praying that I will overcome my procrastination and start the Children's home.

Beautiful people

Sometimes I left speechless by absolute kindness of others. Amazing people!

I needed to see this video today. I needed to cry a million tears and be lifted by the love that pours through you and your beautiful family. God bless you all beautiful human beings, beautiful souls 🙏🏼👼🏼🥰💜

Amazing couple. People like you make the world a better place

“There’s only one answer, because we follow Jesus and Jesus wants us to”. Something we should all live by!

I had a personal experience of feeling God's love. It was....'big'. So I'm quite confident of her description of God's love.

Amazing testimony , huge hearts, beautiful family..

Tne Almignty God can be " experienced " by tackling storms in our lives with obedience, trusting Him will lead us through the storms.

God bless you and your family in everything you do and I pray for people like you and your kids 😀 God bless

This was a wonderfully inspiring video. Thank you

This is a truly beautiful story about love and faith. So glad for all of them.

That family is a true inspiration!

Wonderful lady. I am a Christian and this moved me

Wow. Amazing amazing amazing.

Tears came to my eyes hearing about Abram.

What a blessing you are to those who can't speak and ask for a family for themselves.......Thankyou.💕

Yum, such a beautiful story 💗👍🏼 Thank you xx I'm 50 and my girls ask me to adopt children in need.. beautiful your children open their hearts to this 💗👍🏼

Amazing, thank you!

Thank you so much for making your story available for us. Usually I have a lot to say but I'm so awestruck over EVERY aspect you shared. Thank YOU to YOU and Your Family

When I listen to this lady speak it overwhelming, there are many children in North America to adopted and decided to adopt all these children from abroad it must have a heart of gold. This is a great story in such a thriving country why they abandoning these beautiful children only these parents know why they do that this a great story.

What a precious story! Thank you for sharing your faith and Love in Jesus Christ!!!

Amanda, you and Doug are just great. Lucky you both and lucky each of your children. God bless you (even more...😉).

You are your family are amazing!

I just read the story about how you adopted Ezra.I also have Spina bifida, so that was what got me interested in your story. So I looked up more story's about you.

I have never ever heard people who told the God was speaking to them. Until now, because it happened with me 3 times in my life. 2 times about bio children. Your story is so nice....Sorry for my english.

God bless this family; if I were 20 years younger I too would love to be a part of such love and adopt a child.....thank you Amanda and your family for sharing your love and giving hope to children who could of so easily been forgotten.

beautiful and inspiring testimony

I cant stop crying! This story.. your life is so amazing and im so moved by your sensitivity to Holy Spirit and His voice!! Beautiful family!!! Thank you for sharing your story!

Gosh I like her Shes one cool person

I love this so much. Thank you for sharing!!!

Knowing the cost of Chinese adoptions I wonder how this family afforded so many

I needed to hear this thank you

I got goose bumps many times. I love it!

LOVE YOU SO MUCH, YOU ARE SO KIND.

Thank you for sharing your adopted family. Is so amazing to hear your testimony of you living out your faith and because of that these children found love and meaning to live and may your ministry continues to grow and influence many others to do likewise. God bless you richly and provide for all your needs. Thank you for sharing. It is so inspiring and uplifting of someone living by taith and tuning to God's voice speaking.

she so admire... thumb up

This is how we are supposed to be with Jesus. We must be led by the Holy Spirit in all things. I am inspired. I love this woman's love, need, trust, faith and reliance on God. Her fear was bigger than her faith, but God made her Faith bigger than her fear each time.

What an incredible woman!

Each story was amazing. An amazing family, Amanda and Doug are truly humanitys friend, They are Gods active angels

Thank you so much for sharing your story. What a powerful testimony to those who are also embarking on a journey of Adoption. My heart absolutely overflows (as well as my eyes) when you speak of the Lord and how the Holy Spirit just prompted you. We are in the process of adoption and i cannot wait to see what God will do in little Kida's life. I would love to adopt from China but there seems to be so much red tape for a South African. I would also LOVE to chat you via email and just ask more questions relating to your journey and how God moved. Bless you and your family.

So beautiful ❤️ God bless your family!

Thank you for your testimony! May God bless you and your family!

i heard them in prayer

I am an adoptive Mom of two precious promises. I loved the whole film, but the last few minutes were so relatable for me. They are not like a hive of bees, they are souls. I have seen and heard and I WILL NOT PRETEND THAT THEY DO NOT EXIST! Amen!

Lord bless to this wonderful family!😊😊

Truly inspiring and uplifting story and testimony! This is wonderful to see!

you are awesome... i had goosebumps while watching this..

I adore children's unhindered and pure thinking.

Wonderful. Thank you for posting.

AMEN and AMEN... So incredibly inspiring
