I think that anything you share about the fostering process and Miss.A is always to educate or help others who are currently fostering. There is never any information that we as viewers, should feel like we “need” to know. Anything that you share on your platform is what you choose to share, and I appreciate being able to following along. From her bomb hair changes 👏🏾, to slight issues you have with case workers. You’re an awesome family that has allowed the internet in on your lives. No one should feel like you need to give more of a situation, regardless of what it is.

Can we talk about Darcy’s amazing modelling skills for a second because she was rocking both of those outfits ❤️

It’s a little thing, but I just wanted to say I loved the fact that when you took Darcy to the doctor you asked her if she had any questions, that’s such a great opportunity.

I think that people sometimes forget that this is an educational channel, and not a drama channel. This is a place where you help us learn and understand what fostering is like, which includes the ups and downs. That being said, when there are these down moments, people watching need to respect miss A, her family, and their privacy. I think you all are doing an amazing job as foster parents. I wish I would’ve been housed with you all when I was in the system ❤️

Why are toddler girl clothing so adorable??? I would legitimately wear that blue dress now as an adult 😃

We received custody of my sons 14 year old friend at about Christmas time. It’s hard maintaining a balanced relationship with his parents. You have to have a working one, but need to maintain boundaries for yourself snd your family, as well as your foster child.

Tbh I don't really watch any other channel that relies so heavily on the KZfaqr's foster/biological children (yes, even the bigger ones that many people here probably love) because they always end up feeling very... exploitative. Your channel is the only one I watch/am subscribed to because you don't give me that vibe at all. You always try to speak well of Miss A's family, even in situations where you might be frustrated with them. You never show Miss A (or your bio kiddos!) in any situation where she's vulnerable or upset-- it's very easy to see that she is a willing participant and doesn't feel pressured to do or say anything. It's clear that the intentions behind this channel is to inform and to give insight, and that the kids' comfort and safety is what comes first. So thank you for handling your channel the way you do, and thank you for sharing the information that you are willing to share!

I was in foster care for around 8 months , I was placed with the most amazing lady who already had two babies who she was trying to adopt. I wouldn’t change who I had because she was amazing. I still talk to her on Facebook and she now has her two girls plus their two brothers and she does it all by herself and I’m so happy she has kids of her own that will never go anywhere. I was her last foster kid 🥰

I would hope that if not now, in the future, Miss A's family will appreciate you caring for their daughter; since she isn't at home right now, that she is in a loving, nurturing place. I think you are doing a great service: in showing that foster placements can be positive experiences, to counteract the narrative of negative/unhealthy placements others have been through.

"Darcy does this one have pockets?" - teaching the MOST IMPORTANT clothing lessons early on is important :)

Darcy, romper #1. She looks like a little adult. Anyone else find themselves watching the dog watch outside? 😆

I was looking at your dog looking out of the window the whole time you talked, sorry xD :D

My daughter got custody of her older brother's two children three years ago. We took that step in order to keep them out of the foster care system. At the time of the custody hearing their dad was being held on felony drug charges and their mom had deserted them 3 years earlier due to a heroin addiction. We were lucky to be close enough to get them before they were put in the system as we had been trying to get them prior to the arrest of my son. Being someone who has a history of being in foster care, and lucky enough to be adopted (with my 2younger brothers) I appreciate and applaud you and your family for doing such an awesome amazing job as foster parents. Thanks to you maybe more people will step up and help the kids who really need someone in their lives.

Even Darcy knows the importance of pockets 😂💕

The $10 dress is so stinking cute. I wish they had it in my size 🙈

I find myself always having to say, "I'm not allowed to share that information." It can be hard when you are telling the same person over and over, but I try to remember that most of the time, the people asking are just doing it because they care.

Darcy is rocking those photoshoots! She looked great in both outfits. I loved how she said, "Both of them," each time she was asked which one she liked the most.

In that first shot of Sawyer looking up at the camera he looked just like his mommy! Too cute

What I think is so awesome ishthat you are modeling for Miss A to advocate for herself in the future. It’s an important skill.

I think you strike a happy medium regarding foster parenting. People will judge no matter what the circumstances or issues are. Their judgement expresses more about them that that which is held in judgement. I find that you acknowledge the thorns amongst the roses and root out the weeds whilst landscaping the garden of foster life. Each expression an exhibit of the exquisitely priceless gem harvested and placed within the treasure chest of memories. It is important to remember that every piece of coal given the right treatment has the capacity to become a diamond that once mined and polished is unique, valuable and desirable.

Does that striped jumpsuit come in 26-yr-old sized? Asking for a friend.

You're doing an amazing job! It's sometimes difficult to share your experience while still trying to maintain the privacy of the kids in care ❤

I’m also in Ohio and would love to foster one day! I love to get to be apart of the journey with you guys! Thank you for sharing!

You are both raising an amazing family. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I have the feeling that no matter what, Miss. A will always be a part of your family. ❤

Absolutely love following along and hearing what challenges and achievements you have faced during fostering. It brings back all the memories of the struggles and joys we faced through our fostering and adoption journey. And Shots were a big one!😳 ❤️

In the UK every child in care has an annual health assessment. I worked in the 'LAC Health Team' for many years and loved it. We could tell which foster carers were in it for the money. You, are obviously in it for the love and dedication and I applaud you x

Ever heard the song It Takes A Village? My choir was supposed to sing it this year for our spring concert and I think it’s beautiful 🥰

It's nice that you have people to help you. This quarantine time can take a toll on you after awhile. Great idea to get some help. Stay safe!

I love these videos. I was thinking about fostering but had some fears about things I didn't know about. This is really opening the process and making me feel confident that it is an amazing choice.

So so so appreciate you for doing this channel.

Love the way the dog always makes an appearance, gets all professional not looking directly into the camera! LOL

I think you’ve been doing an amazing job balancing it all! Keep up the great work💝 love learning from you and love your love for Miss A. Please give her a warm hug from a villager 🤗. Hugs to you and your kiddos too! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 xoxo

I LOVE the dog looking out the window behind you, soooo cute!!

I love you guys!!! As a kid who grew up in foster care, I know that not everyone is as accommodating as you. Some individuals do it for the house payment assistance. I know this because one of my foster homes told one of her family members "you should do it, it's like renting a room to kids." That never left my mind.

What you choose to share is completely your choice. I’m thankful for whatever you do share. The little glimpses of family life and insights into the foster care system strike a balance between maintaining anonymity and sharing valuable information and experiences. I think you’re doing a great!

Love your videos. I had no idea your husband was the cinnat picker and watched his videos and had no idea. It amazing to watch and see how your foster kids change and grow with the time with u. Thanks for sharing it really helps with my situation.

It is definitely challenging trying to manage work and two kids! Lol Kudos to you guys! 🥰

Darcy's new outfits are way cute. You guys do what you need to do for the issues. People need to quit being so nosy. Hav a good nite.🌙

Your dog is so cute ! Looking out the window.. Awe

I'm so excited that we've seen so much of you guys recently! 😍

I think both are cute but love her in the jumpsuit

❤️ your dog. Doing the neighborhood watch

I love watching your videos and journey with fostering. I will say some of the details I felt were uncomfortable to share. I appreciate your openness on your journey!

Still loving your. Chanel. Awe your kiddos are cutie pies.

DArcy is adorable. Clothes were so cute.

Your dog is so beautiful 😍

Little thing I noticed, you look incredibly alike to the twins Brooklyn + Bailey 😂

LOVE the blue romper on Darcy. Adorable

Oh my gosh, Darcy and her fashion show. Adorable! 😍 And I cannot get over how fast Sawyer is growing. He's going to be running all over soon. Both outfits were cute, but I really loved that little romper. The little boys were too cute. Darcy, Darcy, I have a bike outside and it's mine. 😍😍 They were so happy for those donuts. And her wanting to get some for then also, shows her sweet, giving heart. And let me tell you something.......you are not JUST parents, and not JUST foster parents. Ya'll are amazing and doing a fabulous job.

Yay!!! You uploaded!!❤️❤️

Not really the point of your video, but I love seeing your adorable dog just hanging out by the window in the background.

I think u do a wonderful job in explaining foster parenting. Both outfits r cute on Darcy. I shop at Walmart all the time ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Ur dog looking out the window every video is so funny lol

Keep up the great work. Whatever you can share share. Whatever is confidential is find too. Also Darcy does make a great model (I kinda thought both outfits were great :) )

That romper suit is adorable x

#2 is so super cute!

Darcey’s a brave little girl!

Darcy is super cute! Love the modeling

Darcy is adorable!

I mean I’m probably one of the most nosey people on the planet. Probably because I want to help. HOWEVER, this is a very delicate situation and you should NEVER feel pressured to share more or apologize for not being able to say more. The most important thing is Ms. A and all the kids.

I love option 2. She is so cute

If ms a ever wants to talk I'm here I was fostered all my life so I know how it feels xo

your dog is so cute

I love the striped dress. She is so cute. I would wear something like that if it was in adult sizes.

Unfortunately our governor has declared no school until May 1st. I hope Ms. A is doing okay without the routine of school

Do Miss A's parents know you post videos? I hope you Miss A and you guys are doing well!

I have a lot of family that fosters (also foster adopts) and I think what you share is perfectly fine, It’s your channel your rules etc. They are allowed to show their faces here though, sometimes they share their names but not always. Usually it’s just an initials as you do. I know what’s allowed is very much different based on states counties etc. I think you both are fantastic with Miss A. She reminds me a lot of a girl my sister has taken in plus her baby. She’s not in foster care (as she’s 18 )but her mannerism and style is much like miss A.

Good for u for being a mama bird! Also, kinda sad to think some still think there's a debate even during days like this, but good for you for getting ur kids vaccinated. I have no doubt that regardless of opinions of others or maybe even ur own at times, u just want what's best for kids. That's what we all need in every foster parent and hopefully others in general

I really like the romper

Darcy looks so cute

I'm 8 minutes late its 9:12 and we are still doing online school🙄🙄 but this just made my night sooo much better🥰❤

Darcy has beautiful eyes.

Could you please repeat what you were saying towards the end of your video? Your dog stole the show yet again; he's roofin' adorable! Absolutely pawfect! I'm glad that you and Miss A and Darcey got to get out of the house. That hair, though! Miss A, I'm jealous! I use to have Rapunzel hair, but chopped it off. I miss it a lot, though short hair is much easier to maintain! Only share what you feel like sharing, not what you feel that you've GOT to share; if people think that you should be sharing more, that's on them. Suck it up, buttercup! Of course, we'd all like to know more and support you in anyway that we can, but that's not always possible and it's understandable, nor do we have a right to know everything that's going on in your lives and in that of Miss A's.

My good friends little brother got placed into a foster care home that didn't speak any english! Big failure on the case workers part as he only knew english :((

Darcy is hilarious.

The county we are in there is no parental permission needed if less than 10 days.

are you guys having the online school thing where you’re from ?

Darcy is such a cutie

Random question: do you ever talk to your first foster or her parents?

Option 1

I think in person school is over for the year in Chicago. Just online teaching 😥

Is that a Luna ukulele that John has? I’ve been investing in one, how does it play?

Do miss A’s parents watch the videos or know about them? It seems like it’d be a good way to see what she’s up to

Hows miss A's schedule for the day? We just got a teen! He sleeps in till 12 but still gets school work done. Just wondering how you guys are on that?

How do you help miss A with school work from home?

darcy is your twin!!

Did you say that John has a youtube channel? Can you please link it? Thank you :)

I can’t help but think Ms A’s parents rescinding their permission at the 11th hour won’t bode well with the court. Their decision didn’t demonstrate the ability to put the needs of their child above their own. 2 questions: Isn’t Ms A’s placement rather long? She seems well integrated into your family and there haven’t been any updates as to her parents working toward getting her back. 2. When Ms A finally does return to her family, how is that going to impact Darcy? I can’t help but think for the adults it will be bittersweet but for a child it would be devastating.

I was hoping that you would talk more on your relationship with the birth family. Where you guys stand now with them after the trip. I feel like the past few videos have been more of you repeating the situation just in different ways.

Really important and highly controversial question here.... and keep in my I promise not to judge your answer. Who do you guys think is going to win survivor this season?

What type of dog do you have and what’s their name?

If it makes filming easier you can actually film her head and then later in editing just crop her head out of the video most editing programs have the option for that. That way you don’t have to film just cutting off her head the whole time you can just film her head and everything and then crop out her head in editing before you post it so we don’t see her face it that helps?

I’m not sure if you have ever answered this question but do her parents know you have a KZfaq channel? Just curious 🙂

Have you ever bumped into any subscribers in public?

Would you teach video editing as a life skill if a foster child was interested in that part of the process?

2

Miss A's a sprinter ain't she lol. Us sprinters don't do long distance well.

Also do you always call her ms. A or when the camera is off do you call her by her actual name? It seems like you call her ms a so often that you would slip up and call her it while the camera is off lol

We miss ain't got her Siamese twist done you said we could see her hair you never showed us completely shot I would like to see her hair

Why can you not show her face? And why can you not share her real name?
