Wow to think Melinda found her forever family just because someone accidentally put a 1 in front of 7. She was destined to be yours.

Crystal: We are not doing teenagers. But you can come over for dinner??!! I’m dying😂😂😂

I LOVE MELINDA. She is seriously the sweetest, kindest soul. So grateful God put her in your life! What a strong woman. Scarlett is so lucky to call you mama.

Aaron was in full father mood saying "she's coming back, she just doesn't know yet" 😂😂😂

How you guys came into each other’s life is so beautiful! What an amazing story! 😍 Thank you so much for sharing, Melinda! You are so brave. So sorry you had to go through that. 😢 Congrats on your new channel!

I’m so happy her school did something and didn’t doubt her even the investigators in my town would have doubted her it makes me so so happy when kids are able to get out of any abusive situations 💖

The mother daughter ring is so cute, I belive that it has a strong meaning that I don't understand because I am a boy

Its neat to look back and realize that our plans are not God's plans for us. It was no accident they had added that 1 in front of the 7. Melinda, thank you for sharing your story. My prayer is that your story helps someone. You are stronger then you you know and you're a great person and a great mom to your daughter I know you will go far. Also I know that people that go though abuse or family issues make some of the best therapist. I hope you go far. 0lease id anyone is going though abuse any kind please say something there is hope. And if you see anyone thats not able to be to speak up , please speak up for them. Please it may save a life.

I am so in love with how aaron is looking at Melinda the whole time. The love and understanding and compassion in this family is insane. I love watching, it makes me feel like I'm a part of it for 10-20 minutes. It's not a lot but it's a lot to me :) you are so strong Melinda. I'm so proud of you for standing up to that. Such an inspiration! You all are!! ♥️♥️♥️

Melinda is so beautiful inside & out. We are the same age but she’s gone through so much more. I also love that Aaron didn’t say much but he’s there for support 💖

The longest dinner ever. "Ten Years Later..." LOL. Love Jamie's necklace. Melinda, "You're incredible." You liked Rose Gold when you moved into the apt, I remember that...So are the mom daughter rings.

How cool would it be if Melinda and Aaron did a daughter/daddy trip to Tokyo!! That would be so amazing and wonderful. Having that trust in a man after what she’s been through just goes to show how wonderful and real Aaron is! ❤️❤️❤️

I really love the way Aaron looks at Melinda with such love, empathy and sincerity as she tells her story. Such a stellar example of a FATHER ❤️

It’s so hard. I’m also a victim of childhood abuse caused by my parents. Thankfully I escaped at 25 and 7 years later I’m still fighting and struggling on.

The fact she opened up their hearts to teenagers, she has changed so many peoples lives for the better just by her bravery, telling her story and enduring her struggles till she met them ❤️

And to think Crystal isn't really that much older than Melinda tbh. Not even old enough to be her bio mom, but because of a clerical error, Melinda, Jamie, and Aurora were brought into this amazing family. Just incredible. 💖💞🥰

Who else loves these adoptions stories and how real they are with us fans!!?❤️ have a good day everyone 😊

I hope the John Doe who was abusing Melinda didn't abuse Jamie as well. Such a sad story but empowering knowing how far melinda has come since then.

I was sexually abused by my real dad when i was 9, i never told anyone for years, because i was scared, worried that no one would believe me. i know how hard it is to speak about that, so for Melinda to tell her story infront of thousands of people takes alot of courage. She's so strong, I really hope that your story helps other people going through or have been through something simular to speak up, reach out for help. Things will get better

So glad your friend spoke up, even though it was such a covered secret, in the end you got out of a bad situation. So glad you all found each other! 🤩😭🤩

I love that you gave a warning before going more in depth about Melinda's story

The moment Melinda started crying I started crying with her. Melinda you're so brave, thank you for sharing your story ❤

Wow. Melinda is so courageous! I’m so proud of her for being able to make that phone call and protect herself and any others from her abuser! You are an incredible women Melinda! ❤️❤️

In case no one told you today you are loved, you are strong, you are worthy!! Have an amazing day you deserve it ♥️♥️

God bless her friend that told about the abuse. I'm sure that was so hard for her, and she probably felt like she was betraying Melinda 🙁

Melinda you're a very brave and courageous for talking about your past. You're a beautiful young woman and a wonderful mother

It's a miracle you have Melinda as a daughter

I think Melinda ist such a beautiful person. Her inside as well as her outside. I love her personalety she is so nice and friendly. And I love the way she looks I love her curves and her face its so beautiful.

i truly believe melinda sharing her story is so powerful and will really help someone who may be in that situation

Melinda I totally understand what you went through. I myself was sexually abused by my stepdad for 6 years. I was finally able to be removed from it when my aunt and uncle adopted me. I have always said I am the strong person I am now because of what I went through back then. Thank you for sharing your story. It is so wonderful to see the strong bond you have with your adoptive family. Crystal is right the paper doesn’t matter.

I love your family and Melinda is a great person and a great mom. I hate to see her cry because she is the sweetest person ever!! She is so pretty and smart and confident! She has such an awesome personality and I would kill to be her! She is so lucky to have such a sweet family and a beautiful daughter! ❤️ Edit: obviously all of y’all are awesome but Melinda we don’t see often.

Melinda is beautiful. I started crying when she started crying. My uncle molested me. Only told my mom after he died. I will watch their channel. Miss seeing Jamie

Now I need to grab some tissues because if Melinda cries I will too!

Melinda, you are so incredibly brave and strong. I’m so sorry for all of the pain of your past, and pray that your future with your family is absolutely incredible. You deserve it. 💜

I am so sorry Melinda I can’t imagine how hard it just have been but you have turned into such an amazing woman and mum 😘

They inspire me to adopt when I am older

My most favorite adoption story, I have cried from the time Melinda started talking. She has given me hope to keep pushing from my childhood. ❤️

Such a beautiful relationship I laughed so hard when u guys said she could come over and eat dinner 😂and moved in a week later. I love Melinda's beautiful ❤️ heart!

Yay! Melinda you are so strong! So grateful you are sharing your story. Sending you so much love! Can't wait for the Crazy sisters channel! Sending love to you all!

This was so emotional. Well done for sharing and moving your life forward with positivity, you’ve certainly had great role models. Congratulations 💙🧡💜💚❤️💛🖤🤍🤎

I am so glad Melinda is a part of your family. I've been drawn to her since I started watching your videos. She seems so nice and genuine! I can't wait for the girls channel to start!

Melinda...you are so strong and such a great soul. I am so happy that you found your parents to love you the way you were meant to be loved and respected. Bless you forever and always!

Wow this had me in tears! What an incredible and amazingly strong young women!! Thanks for sharing your story!! You are a true light in the darkness!

I just found your channel a few weeks ago, and every time I watch a video of yours, it makes my day! Thank you for sharing your stories with all of us, because you all are truly inspiring❤️

Melinda is soooo brave and it took her much courage to share her story ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Melinda is so strong! So glad she made her way to you❤️

Awe this is so sad. I’m so sorry Melinda you are absolutely beautiful and so loved by us all. Keep your head up and keep being strong. I know it’s hard to tell a story but Thank you for raising the awareness.

Melinda this is amazing❤️I’ve always thought of you as an amazing person with a kind soul and your story really changed that.Not only are you kind and amazing but you are brave and I can’t wait to see what you do in the future❤️❤️

Thank you for telling us your story, Melinda! You're strong and brave, you definitely deserved that applause. You seem like a really nice person, glad I got to know you a little better. :)

Melinda sharing her story is just amazing. So brave ❤️ I’m sure there are many girls and boys going through the same thing & im sure they’ll find some sort of comfort hearing her story and seeing how far she’s come. Thank you crystal and Aaron for having a heart of gold and supporting her through everything ❤️❤️

Found Crazy Pieces maybe a month ago and I remember going back to find Melinda videos. Anyway I appreciate this, telling more of her story, so brave and beautiful!!

This had me all up in my feels. Melinda is beautiful. Can’t wait for their channel.

Such a beautiful story of how far you've overcome.

Oh Melinda I’m crying with you. Your a great girl 💚

how else just love this family!!!!! This is so sad im so sorry you had to go through this.

I love this. To be someone that went through similar things in life I am so proud of her for speaking out and telling her emotional story♥️ You guys are an amazing family ♥️♥️♥️

Just remember you're an amazing person, you've over come so much and you should be so proud if yourself. Well done Crystal and Arron ❤️

You guys are incredible. Just absolutely incredible. Stay strong always. I wasn't planning on the tears but as a victim, you did help. It gets better. Thank you for sharing your story💜

One of my favorite of your videos is when Melinda comes home after living away for a while. Seeing you guys reunite at the airport was an amazing moment.

She's not only brave, but she's so STRONG and incredibly sweet. You freaking go girl 💪🏻 Thanks for sharing your story, it makes us feel like we're not alone

Melinda is such a strong and beautiful young woman. I’m so happy she was able to escape the horrible situation. I know at first she probably felt hurt and scared that her friend told someone but I’m sooo glad that she told the friend she did and her friend made the right decision to confine in someone who she knew could help. Also thank god everyone believed her and didn’t send her back home that day and started immediately on getting her out of that awful situation. I think it’s so cool how everything happened once she was in the foster care system to end up meeting y’all and joining your family. She has the most loving parents and family who are there for her no matter what and love her unconditionally. She deserves every bit of good in her life and she now has the best family possible and y’all have the best daughter 💕 ** the picture of Melinda and Crystal on the roller coaster/ride is the best picture ever!!! Lol! Yalls faces are priceless!!!

I was crying! Congratulations to you Melinda for always knowing you DESERVED better for yourself! You are amazing, beautiful, kind, and definitely deserve the BEST!

Im so proud of Melinda sharing her story 🥰 honestly so excited for the new channel, something to look forward to since Ireland is back on level 5 lockdown for 6 weeks ❤

This video was so emotional. You can tell how much Melinda loves you and appreciates you both! I can’t wait to see her and Jaime’s channel!

Melinda, I am so happy that you found parents who love you for you. Sharing your story was a very brave and courageous thing to do. Your story has the power to change someone's life!! You're a very beautiful young lady who has a bright light that surrounds you ♥️ May your life always be filled with all that you are so worthy and deserving of ♥️🌹🦋

Wow! What an amazing story! So much love to her and Scarlet and Jamie! So excited to see their new channel. Will totally subscribe. I want them to know they are in my prayers as all you guys are. And I wanted to thank you and Aaron personally for all the care that you give and love that you show to kids who would not normally get it and hopefully your decisions will set good examples for people who have the means and the willingness to follow your example. God bless you all! Can’t wait to see what God does with your life! 😍😘🙏🏻

How is it that I just wanna cry at every video from Crazy Pieces? Even the happy ones, I just feel so touched about how much love there is in this family

Thank you for sharing your story Melinda! You're such a beautiful person inside and out & I can't wait to check out your channel! Sending love from Michigan! ❤❤

I can’t even imagine how scary this was for her. It just goes to show how many amazing, but hurt, older kids there are that need support and a good home.

Such a sweet girl! You must be so proud!

So proud of this beautiful amazing woman I can’t believe how brave she has been and still is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What a story! I can relate to her childhood. It’s wonderful to see how she has coped and become such a great person! It’s beautiful to see how you guys opened up your home to her. May God bless you guys!😂

Thank you for this video! I loved getting to know Melinda better and I am so glad she is now with y'all. I want to foster/adopt older kids/teens even more now. ❤️

I love the reassurance that you both gave her when she started telling her story. It shows how safe she truly felt and feels been your daughter. I know it’s hard to tell our story because of what people may say but You are so brave and stronger than you know!!!!! ❤️
