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" 😂😂😂

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

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 💖

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!

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! ❤️❤️❤️

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 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.

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. 💖💞🥰

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.

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 ❤️

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

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 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

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

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

It's a miracle you have Melinda as a daughter

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

They inspire me to adopt when I am older

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. 💜

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

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 😘

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. ❤️

I have a question for Melinda: does she still talk to the high-school friend she had, the one that ended up telling the principal for her...?

I think it was meant to be that you became part of such a lovely family Melinda. You are truly blessed and I'm sure you will help to make others truly blessed as you move on through your life. I'm so very sorry to hear about what happened to you when you were younger, but I'm glad you managed to overcome it & that you are able to stay cheerful & positive. Something similar happened to me when I was only 5, but I've never let it affect my cheerful nature & positive attitude. I'm almost 72 years old now, but I remain cheerful & positive & never allow anything negative from my past to define who I am.

Wow Melinda and Crystal are only 10 years apart!

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

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!

Melinda is wise for such a young woman, wishing her the best in her future!!💕

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 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.

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

I am so sorry that those terrible things happened to you Melinda. You are incredibly brave, strong, warm and loving. Your are like a phoenix rising from the ashes of devastation and hopefully an inspiration to those suffering or who have suffered the same terrible things.

Melinda you are so brave for sharing your story. I’m so glad you found your forever family.

i love how jamie just peeps in right at the end to say bye 😂🥰

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!

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

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 ♥️🌹🦋

i literally want to be part of your family

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!

When I first started watching this channel and came across Melinda I thought she was your biological daugter. I thought you guys looked alike a little.🌟💖 love all of you💖

Your story will help so many people....thank you for so bravely sharing and how thankful to know it is in the past! Always look forward! Your future is bright! I love the light in your countenance! What a choice daughter of God you are Melinda! I love you!

Thanks Melinda for sharing your story. Being a 23 yr old woman that hasn’t had a dad and my mother having me at 15 and not being ready. I didn’t have the greatest life. It feels amazing knowing there are other people that made a great ending to a hard story like yours. You are amazing. Thanks I feel like I can overcome things too. Your a great person and I adore your strength as a woman.

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

If there were awards shows and red carpets for bravery, Melinda deserves a million awards. You are amazing, and a true survivor. I love that you are using your story to help others. I have little people in my extended family who are in a very bad situation and I’m praying they will be able to speak up one day and that the right person will listen. Thank you for sharing your story and I hope you keep going and reaching for your dreams. You can do anything. ❤️

Logan felt her motherly spirit, that's why he was instantly attached to her 🥰 Her and her daughter are sweet as ever! 💛 She shares the exact bday & year as my niece that passed away in 2021, at the age of 25. Them sharing the exact bday touched my heart! 💛🌻The sunflower was my nieces fav flower & she loved yellow! 💛🌻💛 I really enjoy your videos! 👌🏽 God Bless your beautiful family! 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽☮️

I'm so proud of you, Melinda! :)

Melinda, maybe you could do something with interior disign/interior decorating. That kind of sounds like what you like about looking at houses... And also thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I'm sure it'll help someone out there

Thank you so much for what you do. We are currently on our 14th adoption. As you know it’s not always easy,but oh so worth it. You do it beautifully. Good job momma😘

Thank you Melinda for having the courage to share your story with us I know it will touch so many people in many different ways. I love your family and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of you!!! I have always wanted to adopt and foster from a young age and watching you guys has only made that more clear for me!! ❤️

That's so brave to tell your story, thank god he got arrested, I was sexuial abused by a childhood friend, he not allowed near me ever again. Your a tough cookie 🍪 Melinda, I am looking forward knowing you more

Melinda seems so sweet! She must be so grateful to have the crazy pieces family!

Hi Melinda, I had an ectopic pregnacy at age 21 and had two wonderful and healthy babies at age 22 and 24 - I am 30 now (gosh that sounds old :'D) So don't be afraid. Just keep in mind to really monitor the first days and weeks when you find out about the pregnancy. All the best!

I was waiting for this from years “I started watching crazy pieces from last week”

Melinda, Tokyo is AMAZING!! My friends planned a trip to my dream destination & wanted to stop in Japan on the way there & I ended up having an incredible time in Japan!!! One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited

Melinda, you are such a beautiful young woman. I'm so very glad that you became part of this family. You deserved to be loved, cared for, and understood. It seems like Crystal and Aaron have given you that and more. You are so lucky to have them and you truly know that. You light up when you call them mom and dad. God works in mysterious ways and he brought you to this wonderful family. You had a rough beginning but you will forever be loved for the rest of your life.

Happy Birthday Malinda ❤️ You are a beautiful woman. Stay strong ❤️🙏

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. :)

I love that Scarlett can be on camera now! She’s so freaking cute

Such a beautiful young lady. Takes enormous courage to do that. So glad that life is working out now. A mum & dad who love you & a young man who clearly adores you. ❤️❤️

Melinda's story brought tears to my eyes. Such a sweet loving lady who overcame her past.

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!

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!

I was sexually abused from age 6-11yrs old by my grandpa until he passed away. Then when i was 13/14yrs old I was drugged and rapped by one of my brother's friends. When i turned 15yrs old i met the man i have loved that has changed my life we have been Together for 15yrs and have 2 kids. Still very happy. He helped me get through everything. 💕

Nothing but love for Melinda. I've been there too. You're amazing for sharing your story.

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!

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.

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
