If no one else tells you, thank you for being willing to help a child a need. For the right reasons, sometimes people become foster parents for all the wrong reasons and children are hurt worst.

Would you not just be teaching her to be a mom? As it is her baby. I teach young moms and recovering addicts. Give them a chance to learn the basics so her babe doesn’t end in care. End the cycle

From your videos, it seems clear to me you guys are meant for teenage placements! Not to say you wouldn’t be wonderful parents to younger children, because you absolutely would! As someone who grew up in the system from the age of 7-18 years old, I would’ve loved to have even just one caring foster family.

We are foster parents also. We also first became licensed around Christmas time, 4 years ago. It is definitely an up and down rollercoaster with placements. We open our home to 0 to 17 any gender, but our last few placements have been teens. We have had a teen mom, she gave birth just after moving in with us. She is an amazing mom to our grand daughter! We are so thankful we had the opportunity to have her in our home and now as a part of our family. To those reading who are thinking of fostering teens, please do! They need so much love!

Too bad you didn’t get the pregnant teen. She would have had a mirror image to help her become a mom! I am sure there are different circumstances for every situation but I’m just sayin🤷🏼‍♀️

So I found your channel & have literally binge watch since 430am . My granddaughter was placed in foster care & it's been EXTREMELY difficult for me to deal with any of this. Foster homes in my mind I immediately think of all the horror stories, but watching you has given my heart & soul the peace needed pull until we go to court. BLESSINGS TO YOUR FAMILY FOR OPENING YOUR SELVES & HOME TO NURTURE THESE KIDS DURING A ROUGH TIME.

Out of the videos that are posted here on you tube these ones are the best!

So I’m only 19 but for as long as I remember I’ve wanted to be a foster parent- will you be making any videos on how the process is? When I’m settled as an adult (and after I graduate college and get a steady job) I really hope to be a foster parent :)

Thank you both for what you do. You take children into your home and help them. Kudos to you. You are appreciated more then you know!!

Honestly such a beautiful and caring family who really wants to help these children and love them! I truly wish I had people like you as foster parents when I was in the system. I feel like it would have made it much easier and less stressful for me but everything happens for a reason. God bless your family, you are wonderful people!

Awe, THROWBACK THURSDAY!! So cool to watch y'all evolve as foster parents, as a family & a channel... thanks for sharing your journey!!! 🤗💓

I just found your channel. You guys are great. I can't wait to finish watching your videos and meet your first placement. Just watched the video of your second placement. It came up in my reccomend list. So glad it did. You guys are the sweetest family. If you haven't read any of Cathy Glass books, you should read them. Excellent books about her trails and experiences with fostering. Hubby and I used to foster. Due to health reasons we aren't right now.

i can understand how frustrating it must be , but on the plus side at least they are getting foster homes, only a matter of time . good luck on your journey xx

excited to continue watching the rest of your journey!

I dont know how you are staying optimistic we have had 2 calls since being licensed october 31st have said yes only to have them placed elsewhere and we are losing hope quickly! Also in ohio

You guys remained authentic. Not perfect, authentic. You’re doing amazing work for the kids and for awareness. A leading example of fostering. ❤️

Well your story of being foster parents is fascinating. I do not understand the reason children have not been placed with you. I certainly hope the people in charge of making those decisions are wise, because I cannot imagine a better couple for foster care.

Thank you for making these videos. I’ve just found your channel today. As a 26 year old that knows I want to foster when I’m in my 30s, this is really helping me see inside the process more and have a better understanding of what I hopefully will be apart of when I’m older. All the best with everything guys!

I would have loved to have parents like you. My F mom was not the worst but she was not a nice person.

I’ve been watching your channel recently and I just want to say I love what you guys are doing. When I was a pregnant 15 year old, CPS got involved and tried to remove me and my siblings from our home. I still don’t know why they were so intent on removing us from our home (they tried to claim my parents neglected us by leaving then fourteen year old home alone, and when that didn’t work for them they lied in court and completely made up statements). I mean, I’ve heard so much about their lack of resources I would think they would have left us alone and focused on those who actually needed help. Luckily, the judge saw ghat we were in no way in a harmful situation. I was absolutely terrified during that time. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me or my baby, if I would be able to continue to see my midwife and give birth in the hospital, etc. My case was dismissed the day before my due date (two days before my induction) and I didn’t even know if I would be allowed to have my mother with me. Knowing that there are amazing people like you willing to step in and help children just as scared and hurting as I was means a lot to me, even though I never actually went into care.

In our area the foster Family is supposed to transport the kiddo back to their original school they try to place kiddos within a 30-45 minute drive from the school.

Only my 3rd [and a half😉] video and I’m hooked!!! I Love you (mom)😍😉👌🏽cause it’s only 2nd video I’ve seen with dad in it!!!😂👌🏽☮️💕💘💟😍👍🏽But I’m in love with what y’all are doing and vlogging your journey is INGENIOUS😍👍🏽!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT THINGS Y’ALL ARE DOING!!!✌🏽😍☮️💘 🎚♥️GOD BLESS Y’ALL!!!!♥️🎚

goal for us is to foster as well, our town only has one foster family and a very big meth problem, trying to get the house fixed up enough to do it though, it's paid off it but it needs work to be a comfortable place for kiddos. and color me judgemental but if she got pregnant in their care that tells me that they may not have been anywhere near as attentive to her needs as they may have claimed to me. blood or not love and the right example and dedication of your time should certainly prevent a 13 year old from getting pregnant especially in a situation riddled with rules and needing to be so on top of things.. maybe im wrong but yeah just my thoughts

WOW, it's wild looking back. Wonder if MISSAY feels /knows was ( neeeded) & wanted before she ever got the chance to be placed in as part of your family.❤

I love your videos but I just have trouble hearing them I'm wondering if I'm the only one and my phone is just messed up?

Hi guys! I just recently found your channel and it’s amazing! I love the realistic perspective you bring! And watching the journey even after placement 😊 I sent you a message on Instagram hoping you can respond!!!

Have you ever been tild that you look similar to Mindy from the channel Cute Girls Hairstyles? I think you do. Similar personality too.

Omg that’s so sad 😭

Wow seeing this video now is weird, it looks so different from your more recent videos. I do enjoy watching your journey either way though!

I’m just curious why you only want to foster a female? I’m interested in fostering and would just like to hear more input.

Did in finally by permission to use ads?

it has been my dream for years to foster teens but my boyfriend has been completely against it and i’m unsure on the solution

What state are you located in? I know each state can be different. Obviously don’t answer if this is too personal of a question.

I hope you don’t mind me asking but How come you are only wanting to foster females just curious?

Where do u guys live?

Hey how are you?!

why do y’all only take in females

What does kinship mean

It’s great that you do this but in the video you said we only want kids 5-15 years old only female why not any kid in need why does it have to be female and 5-15 that doesn’t really make sense!?

How is miss a

Why do you only take in girls? Or do you take both?

Resource - I want to let you know of a great resource! I used to work as a parent coach and would teach parents about child development. Now I volunteer with an organization called Young Lives. it is a part of the organization Young Life that directly aimed to support pregnant teens and teen moms. In the chapter that I'm volunteering withsome of our teen moms are in foster care and one of our pregnant girls is also in care. If you have a chapter near you, please consider reaching out to the coordinator for support. It would give her a great opportunity to learn some life skills and have a fun time with other teens in a somewhat similar situation to hers without judgement. www.younglife.org/Locator/Pages/default.aspx

I like the video but I don’t like thumbnail. It makes you look judgemental and I know you are not.

If you can, avoid the sexual abuse children. You have your own baby. Speaking as a child who was raped at baby to toddler age by teens of both genders that my parents were fostering. It isn't worth your child's safety to bring a sexualized child into your home. People who dont have their own kids can take in the sexualized ones. I still want to foster some day despite what happened to me, but my parents only know half the story and still consider one of my abusers to be family because they have no idea. You might not even be that lucky, your child may never say anything if it happens to them, they might be too young to say anything even if they wanted to. Physical abuse, drug abuse, lack of money at home... there are a million other stories that deserve your care, but parent to parent, I would never risk my baby's safety by bringing a wild card into the home like that. Please consider turning down any case of sexual abuse down at face value. Those kids will get help, but it doesn't have to be from you.

I love that you are a foster family. I don't like how you used someone's personal situation as clickbait. You seem like nice people but that was disgusting as another foster parent I would change the title and watch what info you share
