this shows how lovely his new parents are

I cried like a baby hearing that part.

I cry a lot this part

So beautiful 😍

This was the most beautiful thing iv ever heard.

It’s nice to know he was so loved and in an environment of Faith!! Kinda made it harder though when she was saying “are you really leaving”.

So this is just so beautiful. I’ve been watching these stories for the last 24 hours. I have five kids. I’m glad I didn’t start adopting cuz knowing my heart is have way too many kids. No. I couldn’t give that many a good life but just the same. There’s something so perfectly right watching these people become parents to children they’ve chosen to love forever as their own. I think when I was younger I thought biological was it but I can see something so EXTREMELY beautiful in many ways more beautiful than a biological child. A parent that loves with their whole heart is everything no matter how that child got there. This is just amazing.

@@tyreebruce couldn't agree more ♡♡

I am crying too, bless her heart for all that she did for that young boy

They foster these kids knowing they will leave but still it must be hard eveytime you have to let them go again

I wonder if they send her video updates? 😘💛

I abt criedddd

Yes, the adjustment period has not been easy, but the language and food def helps, and we are making sure that he learns Korean so that when he meets his birth family one day- he can communicate with them without a translator.

@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 bless your heart

I agree with you. Of course not always feasible maybe for kids to be placed with families of the same background, but language is so important! Being able to communicate with and understand his parents can only be a good thing I'm sure :)

@@tikusblue I think that it is why the perspective families/parents really need to understand all the implications that come from adopting from another race/culture, and not be motivated by "white saviour complex" because that can leave some severe damage

@@tearex-ee7fz Point well made.

Yes, and we will continue to teach him Korean at home so one day when he meets his birth family he can communicate and build relationship with them without a translator

Korean Family Adventures that's great that you're already planning that he will meet his birth family one day. I wonder if South Korea now has open adoptions?

정말 축복받은 아이~^^ 응원합니다~~♡

Yes she did such a good job with him, taught and loved him. God bless

Agree. I would be more concerned if he didn't show any emotion at leaving his foster mum. Shows he can form attachments

Yes! We plan on taking him before that 20 yrs for sure and help him reconnect with his foster mom as well as his birth family!

@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 that is amazing❤️

@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 I love that idea...I feel like it will be so wonderful for his foster momma to see what beautiful job y'all have done raising Levi!!

Yes that would lovely beautiful foster mom gave him a great start in his journey.💖💖

@winkblue6851 me too i would like to foster as many Kids as possible.

Yes, I don't know how the foster moms do it, she said he was her 11th child, and then after he left she got 2 more foster babies. To raise them for a year or more and send them away- a piece of her heart has to be cut out. I'm incredibly sad for her.

Korean Family Adventures that is so true, it must be so hard for the foster parents ,but it must also be such a blessing to love on these children so desperate for love and care. The foster parent are the ones who really shows them that grownups can be loving and caring. It most likely makes it easier for the children to be able to connect to their adoptive parents. In my experience it’s much harder for the children from orphanages mostly left in their beds having to learn to soothe and comfort themselves, often learning Stimmung behavior, being neglected, food deprived and under stimulated , maybe not being able to recognize and receive love. Adoption is such a complex mixture of loss, grief, hope and love. I only wish children could be adopted before they are a year old. It must be easier not to be able to remember so much, but still so much could already have impacted them anyway. I’m so happy he is one of the ones getting a real loving supporting family with his best in mind. I hope and pray you all will be a huge blessing to each other ❤️

@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 God puts those people on earth. That's her role here.

We knew a family who fostered. One day, his mom could adopt him again. The while family was devastated and depressed for months and months. They grieved over the loss of their family member. They loved him like their own.

I'm so glad these babies live in foster homes. I imagine they are better off than orphanages. The babies will have significantly less chance of having emotional/behavioral issues because they were environments where they were cared for, loved, touched,fed, played with, read to, etc.

I know the ideal scenario. Imagine how much more distressing it is for a baby if the new parents speak a different language and he can't understand them?

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Just broke my heart.

Thank you for your kind words!

Same here 😪

And she taught him so well!!

Gods blessings to you and your family

Such a beautiful gift, so happy for you

Well said.

True

I think he bonded with dad but not so much with mom

I know I really felt for her. So hard to care for and love a little boy and then have to hand him over to someone else. I know she knows this from the start but it must still be so hard.

So true.

Yes, it's a christian based agency, and the gentleman who founded the agency- he's passed now, it was his policy that before each child was sent off that he would pray over each child.

me too!!

🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

Me tooooo same💓💓✨✨😭😭

Yes, we plan on taking him hopefully in the next 5 years and when all this covid crisis die down to meet up with her again.

@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 I'm a new subscriber. This is so beautiful. Hope to see the video if you going to take him back to Korea . Looking into it although I need to wait for 5 years. Take care and stay safe.

Yes, it does seem to help. I feel for the babies whose parents only speak English and cannot help them transition by explaining, talking to, reading to etc..

Yes, speaking the same language, and also eating the same food definitely helps I think.

Thank you so much!

You guys did a good job! Your reward in heaven is great. Levi's is in good hands. Amen

I know how lucky is he to have two Korean speaking parents. So much easier for him to maintain his language and culture.

I know. They are so lucky to have him and so lucky to speak his language.

Thank you so much in your interest and kind words. Our next episode is up now!

what an amazing story! Thank you for sharing with us!

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! Our next episode is now up!

And here I am surprised how instead of skimming through the video as I had planned I ended up watching every moment of it.

thank you so much for your kind words!
