Hillary, you are definitely a “real mother” and you and Rich’s story of unselfish giving is inspirational. God blessed you both and you saved 3 lives with that blessing.

When the Fittest Man on Earth says “The best title is to be a Dad”. AWE.

Those kids have the best mother and father possible.

Being someone who was adopted at birth... YOU are their mom. Even if they meet their birth parents someday. You two will forever be mommy and daddy. Keep on keeping on.

Rich, a few years ago my wife and I were struggling to have kids and she mentioned fostering and adoption. I was totally against it then, however after hearing you share your story my heart changed and now we have two of the most beautiful girls. Thanks for opening up about this and helping me bring my kids home.

You ARE a real mom. Trust me. As an adopted child myself, you are a real mom. That kills me that someone would ever say that to you. Pray for this world that those type of people would find Jesus. May God bless your family!

You are a real mother Hillary, I’m adopted and never once do I ever see my parents as anything different. My mom always told me, “you may not have been born under my heart but in it.” It’s not about the biology it’s always about the love and care. From what I see these kids have two amazing, selfless parents who will always love them and that is what being a mother and a father is all about. Bless you all.

Anyone that says you're not a real mom can't be happy in life. If I had the resources and time I would adopt a house full of kids. A mom is someone that loves conditionally and gives their life to children. That broke my heart to hear that. God loves and thanks you both for giving those little ones a beautiful loving life♥️

I'll never understand why some ppl feel the need to be so awful online. You guys are amazing, and I love your story. Every time I see Hillary and Rich with the kids, I think to myself, "This is exactly where these kids were meant to be."

Hillary I think you're the bomb. This is definitely some motivation for all those parents who think they're not doing a good job. Do your best and never give up.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! The fact that they didn’t cut off any scenes with Trice being goofy or the crying or anything. Shows how true Rich and his beautiful family is!

Rich and Hillary, thank you for taking children into your life and giving them all you can. There are so many children out there that need a family. Anyone who says you aren't "real parents" are idiots and good on you for not giving them the time of day. Stay strong, stay positive, you rock!

"when am I sacrificing too much for the future that I'm missing out on the present". As a father of 4, I feel ya. On top of my full-time job, I'm a National Guardsman. Between work, drill and annual training, schools, and two deployments I've missed my fair share. Best tip I can give you is learn to be okay declining invitations to events. Plan family outings and prioritize them over other invites. I'll also take days off where I'm not doing chores or catching up on anything else other than personal time with the wife and kids.

I never even met Rich or Hillary but i know i love them.

I love this video. My mom couldn’t have any other kids after me. She felt like our family wasn’t complete, and when I was 5 we got a call saying that there was a little boy who belonged in our family. When I walked into the room, he turned and smiled (I swear he smiled even though he was only 3 days old) and I knew he was my brother. I know that God intended him to be my brother from the very beginning. I know that God also knew that my mom’s body wasn’t going to be able to bring him to our family, and we are so grateful for the family that did bring him to us. I hope that your video will bring knowledge and inspiration to many people.

We went through such a hard time having our kids. A woman doctor told me “you don’t have a hard time getting pregnant you have a hard time staying pregnant “. Wow really. Like that’s easier. A family is who you love and who brings you love. This was awesome to watch. Thank you for sharing.

14:50 Rich has so many titles to include the Fittest Man in History. Still thinks DAD is the best title. awesome stuff!

What a beautiful family and example to other parents. Pure love for their children and eachother.

My wife and I are going through fertility and its tough. Every month we visit the doctors, we get shots, we do what is needed, and have not been successful. Its tough but youre right, it brings you closer as a husband and wife. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for the inspiration aside from what you do as a professional athlete.

Dear Rich and Hillary, Both my wife and I have recently had a child and also adopted a teenager. We are also contemplating adopting two other children. Words can not express the heart felt appreciation I have for your video. Being able to be a father is the best gift God has given to me. Thank you so much for being so forthcoming about your faith, life and challenges. A HUGE THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

Hillary your reflexes are insane with these kids!!

Made this 250lb CrossFit, Army & Oil field works shed tears. Good people.

This is why I'm a fan of froning even more than the fitness side. Dude is a great human being. Ginuwine and honest. Great wife and beautiful kiddos. God is happy watching this

I have two adopted older sisters. All grew up together since we were babies/toddlers. We're all in our 30s now, still best friends, have successful lives/careers, love our parents. Honestly better off and get along better than a lot of the typical biological families I know. You're doing the right thing.

You are as real of a mother as any mother out there! You guys inspire others to be better.

I first saw this mini series right before my son was born. Rich’s words about who he wants to be for his children have always stuck with me and they often run through me head. He’s a massive influence on who I am everyday as a father. I hope all you Fronings are doing well!

What a beautiful story. How can anyone in their right mind give this a thumbs down? I shake my head and am thankful that they let us see what they have been through. Thank you!

Hillary you are more than those kids mother. You are an angel to them. You never know what life those kids would have grown up in, if the lord didnt put you into their lives. You and rich are amazing parents.

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING TO WATCH, PLEASE MAKE A NETFLIX SERIES 😄 thank you so much for creating this, it's so raw and genuine. You all have such a beautiful family!💓 I love how you showed the real parts of parenting and I also loved Rich's advice for future parents, "Don't listen to anyone". A lot of people try to give you advice on how they think you should raise your kids. Everyone is different though and different things work for different families. I find it so disgusting that people were being hateful to Hilary. I have been mom-shamed before as well, so I know how much that hurts when you're doing your absolute best. She is definitely a REAL MAMA, you can see that deep unconditional love in her eyes and her mama spidey senses kick in anytime possible danger appears. It sounds like she and Rich just want to spend as much time with their babies as possible. That is SO admirable and refreshing. You can see that they are both making the most of their time with all of their beautiful babies and soaking it in. I loved Crossfit before but now I love it even more because this is the high quality of loving, caring, and resilient people that it draws in.🙌💖🏋🏼‍♀️

"I'll be praying for you" is a very good response to such hateful comments!

I’m 90 secs in and honestly this will probably be my favorite series. One thing that made me a follower of Rich was his mother as a man. I’ll never be at fit as him or get to do some of the things he has. But I like seeing the parts that I do relate to and can learn from.

We are all adopted. God bless you guys! Thanks for sharing your lives with us!

You are a real mom and a blessing to your children.

Amazing video about The Fronings. Thank you for sharing!

Rich is considered the Fittest on Earth only because your strength is immeasurable.... you have a beautiful family and you’re the type of mother every child deserves!

Look at the profound love in Hillary’s eyes when she’s watching her baby eating cake!! Made me tear up

Want to thank you guys for what you done. I was in the foster system when I was 13 years old until 18. My last foster parent became my family and were always there for me it was a blessing and to see how you guys are with your beautiful children is a great witness to others. God bless you guys!

I just love it, they always bring tears to my eyes. The way they love each other and their family. Thank you for opening up and showing your life.

You are more of a mom that most moms ever will be! You are booth good parents with happy kids. That’s what’s important! ☀️🎈

Such a beautiful family. Hurts my heart to hear the mean things that people comment towards Hilary.

What a beautiful family and both Rich and Hilary are a huge inspiration. Keep doing u, u guys are amazing!👍

The entire Froning family, all of them, are truly a real family! Thanks for sharing your stories with us over all these years.

My heart is filled with so much emotion in hearing your story how great you all are. How much you uplift me and Of course you know god had these children picked out special for you long before you would know

Hillary seeing you being such a loving Mom made a really hard day better. 💙

Rich, this meant a lot and touched me. My wife and i are about to have our first son, and this was so awesome to see. Thanks for all you do man!

Great introduction to your family and faith. As a father of one little dude, it makes appreciate him so much more. Your family is doing phenomenal things and I wish nothing but the best.

Rich and Hilary, you guys are awesome parents! The joy of the Lord shines through you in how you love each other and your precious children. You are blessed. Stay strong! (Joshua 1:9 / Romans 1:16)

This is such an adorably wholesome and sweet series. I love how personal and real this gets. Great choice, whoever decided to do this.

Hillary is more of a mother to those babies than a lot of biological mothers out there are. You can see the love that she has for them and them for her. Hugs XX

Unbelievable that people would be so ugly with their comments and say something stupid that you’re not a real mom?! Good for you Hillary for being you and trucking on. Blessing to you and your precious family ♥️

This is awesome... I truly hope you do not mind sharing your family with us. I am 10 yrs older than Rich with 3 kids of my own, and he has taught me so much about trying to enjoy all the stages. His faith is super refreshing, one of the few influential people that share their faith with the world.. THANK YOU

How could you dislike Hilary are you kidding me and to bash someone for adopting a child cuz they couldn’t have 1 is just cruel and ignorant man I freaking love the fronings

I can’t imagine anyone suggesting you aren’t a real mom. Giving birth doesn’t make you a mom in the true sense - it is about so much more. You are an amazing mom - and your family is lovely.

You guys seem to be better parents than most of the "real" parents out there. No matter what they say, keep doing you and stay awesome!

When reality tv is garbage... a series like this is a shining light. Thanks for sharing!

I love this so much. Such a Great family and A true blessing from God.

Hilary, you and your beautiful family are such blessings. I’m 35 and adopted my parents are my real parents I’m so proud that I was given into such a wonderful family. God bless you 💕

The look on your face speaks volumes about the of the love you have for your kids

I’m an adoptive mommy of three, we went through infertility as well. Your story touched my heart so much! Happy birthday Violet!

You guys are so inspirational. Hillary, I think what you and Rich have done taking in 3 kids that needed homes is amazing. It's a beautiful thing to devote your life and time to someone else, it's completely selfless. God Bless you all and thank you for sharing.

WHAAAAT? I don't know how many videos of yours I have watched and never knew your babies were adopted. May God continue to bless and grow your family! 💛

What a wonderful video of a wonderful family. Personally being able to meet you Hillary many years ago when you came to Michigan for a family wedding, you are such a positive person to know. The blessings that you have been granted are truly a gift from god. Thank you for sharing with the world a little piece into your lives.

What an amazing family!!! Hilary you’re such a natural mom. There’s so much love there.

Hillary, you are more than a real mom. You have changed the life of three children, for the better. Keep being a great example.

You guys are beautiful. An example and light this generation desperately needs! Only God fully understands the weight of impact you're making for so many others! Thank you and keep on keepin on!

Praise God for the Froning 5!! Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your lives. Truly amazing.

For health class, we watched a video on The Fittest Man. I was amazed and impressed and even shocked when I watched it. But the main thing I held onto, was how the family were Christians and had such bold ams strong faith in the Lord. Afterwards, I wanted to learn and see more about your family. Then I found your YouTude channel. You guys are amazing. Hillary, your an amazing mom. You don't have to have given birth to be a true mother. A true mother is someone who loves and cares for a child or even just another human. I'm a 'mother hen' to my guy friends at school. I worry about them and care about what happens. You want to protect then and let them know they are loved. And that's who you are💙

I LOVE this video. As a stepdad to the most beautiful 6 year old girl ever, I teared up more than once. Thank you for opening up and sharing your incredible family with us. 💙

more than a real mom and dad, God bless to the three angels...

God bless you Froning Family!!! Hilary you are a mom, and a inspiration for us all seeing you with your kids makes me see the best in people the God loving strength and overcoming situations that might seem hard at first but that are gifts from him. Rich you are solid dad and a solid men, may God keep you and protect you always.

THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!!! God really works in mysterious ways and I'm happy for u guys that could see the greatness in it!

We tried for a child of our own for 10 years. Then when we were going through the adoption process I became pregnant. I can put my hand on my heart and tell you that Hillary has been through a tougher 'pregnancy' than the vast majority of women. Few could ever understand the dashed hopes, continuous doctors and heart break that trying for kids involves . An adoptive parent is in every way a 'real parent'. Hugs and best wishes xx

You guys are awesome. You've helped me renew my faith. You've also re-lit that fire to get back in shape for me and my wife. I can't thank you enough for reminding us what family means.

You guys are amazing, you’re children are adorable, beautiful, funny and smart. God bless you dear.

I seriously just love you guys so much. Thanks for sharing this. Loz x

What a beautiful and REAL family. And a what a wonderful testimony. Thanks for being y’all.

Truly amazing. I sincerely admire your courage for transparency. What a perfect family and thank God for you two and providing a loving encouraging home YOUR children.

This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! It's brought me peace to the exact same struggles I have been dealing with!

What a Beautiful story you all have. My heart broke when Hillary says that someone said she was not a real mom. You are 100% a real mom and a loving one. So glad you are able to ignore those sad sad people. Thank you for sharing your journey and can't wait to see more. xoxo

Love this video! Love the transparency. Kids in front of the camera and it's like, "No big deal." I hate the scrutiny that you guys face, but sounds like you have a good handle on it. Protect each other and continue to trust in the Lord!

You guys are such an inspiration. Thankyou for sharing your lives and your story. I have no doubt this will help and inspire SO many people ❤️❤️

You guys are just truly inspirational and I am so happy you have a platform to spread your amazing family dynamics and life stories. I love following along!

Absolutely the best series y’all have came out with! Loved this looking forward to the next episode of Froning 5

God bless your family and everything you guys have done for all those kids and community. Big fan. Eddie.

I have always loved this families story! It’s so beautiful to watch it unfold!

Thank you for sharing your family's story. It's nice to see people who are real. I know it's not all rainbows and roses but y'all are wonderful. Thanks again!!!

I just have to say from a family that went through the infertility I am so glad that both of these two get to be parents. They are what parents should look at being. I look at them and I can’t help but tear up cause I understand the missing out. I understand the pain of failed test. I understand rich saying “there is nothing you can say to make it better”. I am so glad you shared this cause it is something that is so personal that it is actually allowing us to separate rich froning crossfit god to rich froning dad of 3.

It's funny how someone doesn't know you, can all of a sudden be an expert on your life. You're very much their mom, your very much their dad, they're very much your kids. My son is adopted by my husband. He said to me once, he may not be my "real" dad, but he's my dad in my heart. It's all what's in the heart. ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing video. My wife and I our first baby in Jan 18. when Rich talked about not truly understanding unconditional love until you have a child of your own, it really is true. When he speaks about time away from family, that spoke to me as well. I changed jobs within the Air Force because I wanted a better work-life balance. Absolutely awesome.

Don´t understand why people would say you are not a real mom. They are just jealous that they don´t have this big wish of having kids like you had Hilary. You are a great mom with an awesome family.

This gave me all the feels, you guys are a beautiful family and have so much love!

Thank you for being transparent and sharing your story. I can’t wait for more episodes of The Froning 5!

Great to see the human side of a superhuman athlete with his family.

thank you for opening up your hearts and your home to those children and allowing us to see a glimpse of the love you have for them and for others.

You’re a real mom, he’s a real dad, we serve a real God! All of which some will deny. Sadly. Great video.

You two have handled life very well. You are a real mom and a real dad. Haters will hate no matter what. Keep the faith!

I love this. My heart is so full for y’all and the wonderful life y’all have.

Rich you been an inspiration to me from the beginning. I too have the title of being dad and I understand you completely. Thanks for everything you done, by just being you.

Thanks for making this... it’s great to see the real side of parenting and to see other families and the same joys and struggles as we experience

Really enjoyed this!!! Thanks for sharing your life’s with us!!!
