My mum was an Anglican Christian who grew up becoming a 70s hippie, who is now a 70 year old hippie still! lol She doesn’t believe in organized religion and refuses to discuss Jesus Christ. Thankfully, I became curious about God as a very young girl with a physical disability who saw children in hospital beds, struggling to stay alive. This led me to seek out Jesus and want to know Him. It took many years but finally I found The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Now, I’m inactive member trying to figure out what I currently believe. Thank you for posting Amber’s video! I saw a little of my mum and my own childhood in her and her parents.

Thank you for sharing! I started recording my testimony a few months ago but haven’t in awhile. Thank you for helping me piece together my courage to keep recording. I know I am being called to do so!

You don't look old enough. I grew up in So Cal where the Hippie culture flourished 60 years ago then faded into oblivion.

I’ve always heard that adoption is really expensive. I wonder how these hippies could afford to adopt so many kids? 😂

The adoption agency worked with a nonprofit to pay for the adoption of the 5 girls (all sisters) from India. There’s no way they could have adopted otherwise. When we adopted their cousin a year later my parents had to pay for it and it was a significant financial hardship but they did it anyway. My dad actually made a decent living running his own business as an electrician but when there’s 15 mouths to feed there’s not much money left!
