I am so glad Isabelle has full hearing, so she can hear “I love you, from her family!! Thank you for sharing her with us. Seeing her smile and be joyful, is so precious. 💜❤️

There is something quite moving in seeing a big ol' burly cop reduced to a puddle of tears. It was so very moving to see his response to Izzy on the day that she was placed into your loving care. As a mother, I would expect that from a mother, but to see that kind of emotion and response from a father was truly moving. It is so beautiful to see how far Izzy has come since she has joined your family. Words alone cannot explain the depths of what your family has so selflessly given to precious little Izzy and I know without a doubt that in return she too has given back in her own special way to all of you. Love is an amazing thing, as it is so very healing and comforting to those that can open their hearts to it. You have opened Izzy's heart and in return she has opened your hearts in ways that you never dreamed possible. This is such a beautiful story of love and hope and I thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. Sending much love and an abundance of beautiful blessings to all of you on this amazing and wonderful journey. God is great!! 💖

I'm so glad you named her Isabelle. It means "commended to God". So every time you call her name, that's what you do: commend her to God. I'll pray for you and your blessed little girl, that her days will be filled with joy and wellness. Much love, Isabelle from South Africa.

How great it is to see her happy, giggling, interacting...

Your husband has a very kind eyes and he really looks good.Seeing him cry for Isabelle the first time he held her in his arms just touches me...and brought tears in my eyes

I hope Myka Stauffer sees this video. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. I truly admire how strong and loving you guys are! God bless!

So glad that Isabelle has found the true meaning of love from such a rough start. God Bless you and I hope more people find inspiration to share love with those who need it the most!

It's so heartwarming. You can see how much has been craving this kind of love that she is getting now. They are feeding her soul.

I found your channel after the Staufer situation... I now have faith in humanity again... thank you! You seem to be amazing parents, and your love for Isabelle truly shows.

You are absolutely beautiful people! The difference in this child is phenomenal. May God continue to give you the strength and love that you have untiringly displayed since you adopted her. Bless your hearts and may you have a wonderful Christmas with your lovely family.

Sorry to say that I came across your channel because I have been watching Myka Stauffer videos and feeling so sad for that poor boy Huxley. I am so glad to come across your channel, because I am seeing good people adopting completely selflessly. You guys are so loving and I'm so thankful to witness people like you on the internet. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!

Hi, I do not know if you read any of the comments but here I am. First of all thank you for being an amazing family to that beautiful girl! Her story really touched me. I wanted to say that I am a therapist and I work with autistic children who have many sensory issues. Even though Isabelle seems to have it figured out with the side ways pacifier, there are actually chew toys for children with sensory issues which can be linked to a chain like Isabelle's pacifier or even be worn around wrists like where she was biting. You can find them online, even on Amazon I believe. In addition, giving light squeezes to her arms, hands, shoulders, legs and feet will probably feel relaxing to her. Many autistic children walk on their tip toes, mostly for that extra stimulation of sensory; to focus all the weight on the toes to have more stimulation. The way Isabelle choses to sit down (her feet up and only a small part of her bottom touching the seat) mimics that same beahviour; to have all the force on a small area. You could apply some pressure to her legs (squeezes or maybe wrist bands around her legs?) to redirect the focus of the stimulation to get her to sit properly. Either way, she is so lucky to have you as her family and God bless you all!

Kept it dry up until the point where she wanted to be hugged and wanted your arms around her. What an amazing journey. Very touching. ♥️

You are both great parents. I am very in awe that you adopted her. She has really improved and I know that she does have a very positive relationship between this family

Respect, respect, respect to you and your family. I am praying for you and Isabelle. God bless you.

What a wonderful work.... She is so lovely, and seems so happy.... ❤️👍🤗

Oh, so so great to see you all again!! Isabelle is beautiful! So awesome to see her doing so much. Thank you for loving her and for sharing your life with us. Continually in my heart and prayers. Joannie

You are true angels...wow. How you changed the life of this child...I am beyond speechless....You are wonderful.❤❤

I love the mindset you have...that she is worthy to be loved no matter what struggles she has.

From the adoption video until this video I have been bawling my eyes out and just thanking God for choosing you to be Isabelle's parents and for giving her a family that loves her for who she is.

What kind of wonderful human beings are these people!! I am weeping as I watch both the first video and now this one. Not just one child with challenges, but two! God bless this family mightily, I feel that whatever I say isn’t adequate to show how much admiration and respect I have for this couple. Brave, compassionate, generous, kind, loving, sacrificial. I am in awe and very, very humbled.

hearing that beautiful girl laugh and giggle and seeing the love she is getting from your amazing family makes me feel so happy. I honestly cant explain how this is making me feel to watch this. I am so blessed to have came across your families story. Thank you for doing this for issabel.

You are all doing such a fantastic job with Isabelle, it's not easy and all credit goes to you. You are the ones doing all the work allowing each small 'miracle' to unfold. I have worked with many blind people (chairman of blind sports club), and Isabelle displays typical behaviour of people blind from birth. Rocking to and fro, flailing arms around and hitting herself on the feet etc, are ways of her making sense of her surroundings. Congratulations.

I am in awe. I could never do this. It's totally loving and unselfish. Amazing calling.

Oh my goodness, you are truly inspirational. The way you have addressed Isabella’s problems, helping her to physically be the best she can be, is an incredible achievement. You are amazing. Thank God for people like you.

The mum in this family is amazing. You can tell she has a kind soul. I’m so glad you found this little girl and were able to bring her into a family of love.

My gosh. This child has blossomed into the size of a 6 year old. When you first introduced her to us, I thought she was maybe 2 or 3 based on her size but I noticed she had bigger teeth so I figured she was older than what I thought. It makes me smile to see how excited she is for the water. I also noticed how surrounded she is with love. Would you mind adopting a grown woman ? :) I am so glad that you all choose to share your family with us and the challenges you may face with Isabelle. It must be such a joy to see her overcome obstacles. Thank you for giving her hope and life. You guys are a beautiful couple (literally).

Stan you are definitely The Man I wish all the dads in the world loved their children like you do .xxx

God is good! May the Lord keep blessing your beautiful family.

It warms my heart to see how good your older daughter is with Isabelle- that little clip of her holding her with the carrier made me cry. She was raised by incredible parents, you truly are giving Isabelle a life that never would’ve been possible if it wasn’t for you.

This is the most beautiful thing on the internet. I’m not a crier, but I’m bawling right now.

I love when she's telling her sister to do it again when she was in the carrier. She clearly has a sign (the head loop)for what she meant. she's leaps and bounds from the floppy unresponsive little baby she was.. Amazing amount of progress, she will be who she will be is the best expectation. So wonderful that you two were entrusted with the privilege of caring for and learning from such a special soul.

You are the light of my family in Italy. Thank you,......

My HEART IF FULL❤❤❤❤ I'm so excited that you will be posting more! Both of the girls look AMAZING! They are getting so big, and BEAUTIFUL❤ Thank you for sharing YOUR BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED JOURNEY!!!! LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES💋💋💋💋

She is so lucky to have a family like you! God bless you!

You are an amazing Mother. You married a honorable man. God Bless Isabel.

The water is a big surprise...the swimming. I would think that would be terrifying but it appears to be relaxing. Can she speak? She seems to have so many shells to break out of. What a fight for her and you but she and you seem determined to find a way. So impressive.

I always admire parents of special needs children as I grew up with a brother with many disabilities and the mind oh a one year old. My mother and father dedicated their lives to him and now my two brothers are his full time carers, but I have to say that people like you who take on these poor children deserve a crown in heaven for what you do to love and better these kids lives.

Gods hands are holding your whole family and may many blessed days come to all of you I was raised by my momma who work with special needs and my heart is still there for all of gods children 😘

Praise the lord!!!! Bless y'all cause you...you just make my heart burst with love and joy for this little Angel!!! One day I pray to adopt and I pray God trusts me with a child as special as your daughter!!

Thanks so much for your update on Isabelle and her impressive progress. She is so blessed to have your love and support. God bless this family.

Oh, Isabelle. I saw her adoption video and my heart broke seeing how much she was struggling. She's so blessed to be surrounded by such a loving family and so many people who are helping her. :) God bless you all!

So thankful there's loving kind people like you!!!

Thank you for sharing this precious girl. God bless all of you for being the kind of people that care so much doing all you guys have done.

Im in tears, What a lucky little girl to be in this wonderful family with such loving parents!!! Thank you jesus!!

Your family is an amazing! Blessings upon you all for the love, warmth, compassion & care that you have given Isabelle. It looks like she is a healthy 12-16 month old baby. She's picking up where she left off both physically & emotionally at the orphanage. As a mom to a child with sensor issues, I can tell you that water frees them of over stimulation. It soothes them. My son loved being in water, too.

Crying right with y'all. Hearing Isabelle giggle warms my heart so much. She's so beautiful and special. Very grateful she has you and your family 💚

Seeing her like that, having fun splashing in the water made me tear up. Your whole family is a blessing! I wish you all the best for the future.

I am so glad that I got to experience your story. I happen to luck out and see the adoption video first and then watched this one. Bless you both for being the people you are. Looking forward to watching "Bella" grow and enjoy life!

My little sister was adopted through WACAP when she was 3.5 and now she’s turning 9 in July (which blows my mind)!! She was born with a cleft lip and palate. I’m forever thankful for that agency and I’m sure you can relate ❤️ God is so good. Sending big love from Texas.

As a child of adoption specifically from china, i know of a lot of people who dont meet the challenges of what adoption takes. it's a lot of heart and a lot of compassion, yall are angels and this video brings me to tears. all the research, time and love you put into your family shows in your other children as well!

She is so so beautiful, I see the love you have for her as her mother, how you nurture and love her. The pain that comes in being a mother and seeing your child have to endure pain, I can see how it pains you to see her in pain. My husband and I have our sweet Isabella who we call Izzy bizzy, who almost died after being in the NICU three weeks and then had open heart surgery at 6 months, she’s 3 and half now and it’s truly a blessing getting to raise her and watch her grow.

Y’all are such a blessing to Isabelle.... I become teary every time watching your videos your such wonderful parents full of love. The most amazing thing knowing that God lead y’all to her. She’s grown so much and hearing her laugh is beautiful.

Words do not begin to describe what kind of parents you are !!!! ❤️ truly unbelievable!!!

Thank you for posting this. I actually just watched the video about Isabelle's adoption so its amazing that just a day later, you post this follow up. I didn't have to wait as long as others did to know how she was doing, and I am sure they will all be so overjoyed to see Isabelle doing so well. Thank you for all you do. May I suggest a GoFund Me page? I think this is exactly the kind of situation that GoFund Me is for. The expense you and your family are taking on to take care of Isabelle must be really a lot. I am sure many people would love to help your family and Isabelle. Thank you again for what you have done for Isabelle. Happy Holidays!

If there were more people like you, the world would change, God bless you

I came across your first video where you adopted Isabelle and went to China to get Isabele and this one. I shed some tears. God knew you were the right parents for this precious Angel. She's very lucky that you came into her life and I'm sure you feel the same. God bless you!!!

Both of you & your children have become my Heroes...may you continue to receive our Fathers blessings🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing!. Blessings to all and much love!

I’ve recently found your KZfaq channel and have been following your adoption stories. I am blown away with your incredible strength and love that you show each and every one of your children. There is something really special about Isabelle and the connection you have with her is one to be admired. My husband and I have two biological children of our own, and we often talk about adoption and whether or not we could add a child to our family through adoption . This story has really really touched my heart and inspired me to perhaps look further into adoption. It scares me, I won’t lie. But I think it’s more scary to know that without adoption, these children will never experience unconditional love. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you and your family all the very best in the future. Sending love from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

God bless y'all. Isabell is a blessing that God the Father has given your family to help you grow. His plan for your family seems to be one of sharing your journey with others. Thank you for sharing.

Thank God for Isabelle and her wonderful family!

This is so beautiful in every way. Your family is rich in the most beautiful and wonderful way: family. May God continue to bless you all.

What a little beauty!!💖I’ve worked with children and adults with all sorts of special needs and I’m so pleased she has found a family who genuinely,totally adores her.I’m so sad for all the other little ones who aren’t as fortunate 😔I look forward to hearing updates on how she is getting on 😊xx💖

I’ve just found your channel and I’m in awe. Your story is a blessing to me and just fills my heart. Our God is so awesome. The music you play, the care you give is a God blessing.

coming from my perspective as a person with a disability who was adopted ( i am 35 now and was adopted when i was 1 years old) .... i really want to thank you for loving your little Isabelle right where she was at as you put it not to fix her but wanting her to be the "best Isabelle that she can be" that is such a wonderful and refreshing way of thinking and it really stood out because so many people in society think that we with disabilities need "fixing" and all we really need is just to be loved where we are at.. just like every single person on this earth. God bless you and your family!

Not all superheroes wear capes. G-D bless you and always smile upon your beautiful family.

I cried quiet couple times watching this! Your family is so beautiful and you two are amazing! I have a autism kid and I feel so much struggle for me and my husband's relationship because of this but you two earned all my respect! It is not easy to raise kids with special needs and you are doing best for Izzy! Thank you!! 💕

She is very lucky to have you both as parents! Wishing you and your family the best.

When she was grabbing you and pulling you back to cuddle some more it was so beautiful :') And the pictures of her sitting in everything unusual had me crying, she is such a little character

This whole family is so beautiful. The love and attention and patience they gave this beautiful little girl is just the demonstration of unconditional love :) God Bless you all.

It is so beautiful to see you kind individuals so considerately caring for your daughter. I really appreciate your immense focus on enhancing her as a person, rather than trying to "fix" her. I also love how responsive you are to her needs. You guys are truly saints, and your love is so evident through your dedication to helping her to be happy and healthy! I love her beautiful smile and adorable laugh, and it is clear how much she's grown already, and how much she will grow in her wonderful zest for life!

Oh my goodness. So thankful for Gods grace and mercy that he allowed you guys to adopt her. I watched her adoption story and my heart just broke. My baby is 2 and I can’t even imagine her in that state. I could not hold back the tears. I love seeing her progress and how much she has grown and you can see the love that your family is showing her. 🙌🏽 praise be to God. May The Lord continue to bless your family. ❤️❤️❤️

I saw gotcha day and has she come a long way!! She couldn't even hold her head up. And I remember you commenting on how bad she smelled. She was so lucky to find you just as God blessed you with her. You may not see it becuz you're with her every day but her progress is amazing. Thank you for taking this special girl and making her part of your family. And your kids are a blessing to her also. God bless

Your family is absolutely beautiful. You both are amazing folks with such beautiful hearts. Isabelle is a lucky girl to have parents such as you two.

I've only just come across your channel, i first watched the adoption video and cried my eyes out and i couldn't shut up about it, i got so angry how she was treated and the poor state she was in but this video made me smile so much, you have the sweetest children ever, how much love they show Isabelle is just so heartwarming, you must be so proud of them all! I also want to say how amazing you both are, how you've changed a little girls life, in just the 15 months you'd had her (in this video) you've changed her life to such a great extent! I'll be watching your other videos after this! Oh and i'm so glad to find she isn't deaf, she has many struggles already it's good to know she doesn't have to worry about another one!

I am so amazed at the love you have for her! I am not surprised because she deserves the love but amazed that you are willing. I grew up in a home where anything that you could call love came with a price...It was a place of abuse in many forms. That was many years ago and now my own children are grown and I have two little beautiful granddaughters. I cried through most of these two videos and I cannot stop thanking God enough that you heard his call and brought little Isabelle home to be loved and cared for.

You guys are doing such a wonderful thing adopting these precious children. God will reward you richly. It made me so happy

You are very special parents, thank you, You are awesome parent to Isabelle.

I am so overcome with emotions. God Bless you and your family for giving your all to this precious child. Hugs and blessings.

I loved this update!!!!! I have watched Isobels adoption video several times it brings me so much joy to see you guys pick her up out of that stroller and hold her! She is looking great now! She is putting on weight and thriving! To see her smiling and giggling is so wonderful! I couldnt believe it when you were helping her to stand and take steps in this video!!!! What amazing progress! She has come so far. Well done 😊 Shows what love can do 🙌❤ God bless you guys heaps and sweet darling Isobel XX I cant wait to see more videos on your channel xx Merry Christmas and much love from Lisa in New Zealand 😀

Felts Family: you are fantastic human beings. I followed all the process from the beginning. I cried so much when I saw her. But now I'm so glad how Isabelle has improved her life, due to all your dedication. I send you my greetings from Montevideo, Uruguay.

Wow,she looks like a totally different baby👼you guys are doing a wonderful job with her!!! May God Always bless this family🙏🙏🙏

Seeing Isabelle come alive and giggle is wonderful.

May the Lord bless and keep you. Thank you for being a light in the world.

I didn't want this video to end. You two are amazing people. I am so happy God led you to this little girl. She would have died in that orphanage. When I watched the first video I was so shocked when you said she was 19 pounds at 5.5 years old and how she was treated in that orphanage is horrible. It is so refreshing to hear her laugh and see all the progress she has made since you brought her home. When you first held her she didn't know how to respond becauas she wasn't use to it. I am so happy for your family and to see her progress. I am going to keep following your journey. God bless.

This video made me cry. Thanks to this beautiful couple for adopting and saving this baby girl ❤️

OMG she looks so much better ♥️ the 1st time I saw your channel was you guys going to China to pick her up and I cried when I saw her because it broke my heart to see how little she was and to know that all those babies spend their days in a crib and never being held or loved on 😢. I knew you guys were going to help her so much 💖🎀. It makes my heart so happy to hear her laugh and enjoying life ♥️.

Thank You soooo sooooo much for your update. I’m so glad I subscribed and turned on the notification bell! I’m so happy for all of you. I particularly loved seeing just how wonderful your friends and kids are with Izzy! Love love love y’all❤️ Ps. Can we get more regular updates? The longer the better ❤️❤️❤️ I watched this on my 7am train ride and smiled the whole way. What a way to start my day. Gripping at my heart. Waking it up ❤️ Thank You Felts fam❤️

Just watched all of the Isabelle adoption videos. Thank GOD for y'all and your Family you truly are a beautiful example of Gods great works. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful , personal story in your lives.

God Bless you More,,,, more blessings to come and excellent health to all your family,, Merry Christmas

Our stories are somewhat similar . We brought our sweet little girl home 18 months ago similar medical conditions. Our sweetie has flourished, and as we get answers, we adjust and rise up and take them one by one. We will be doing an update soon as well. You are precious and she is so worth it isn’t she!! Just think what another year will do! God bless you all. Sending much love from our family to yours 💕

I often get tears watching Izzy, plus you and Stan talking about her. They aren’t sad tears, they are grateful tears that God touched your heart to meet these special little girls heart! (I am so grateful to witness your journey! )Not only did they get great parents but amazing siblings as well! In our world of very selfish children, yours are a wonderful example with the right kind of parenting, there is hope! Maybe you can do a series on how to raise awesome children!

Wow thanks for your new update...😍😍😍

thank you so much for giving this child a lovely, loving home.

I would love to hug both of you !!! You are true ANGELS !!🤗🤗🤗🤗

I wish the people at the orphanage could see her now. You guys are amazing!!

I cannot tell you guys how proud I am of your family to take her on. She really did need the love that you give and believe me, God did plant love in your hearts and gave you the push to go forward and pursue such a big adventure. It’s amazing to see how well she has progressed, especially how well she’s gotten since her hips have been fixed. It’s really really a great thing to see. I’m hooked on your love. Hawai’i supports you. Thank you Felts family. You guys are a God send.

Thank you so much for the update and God bless you!

Thanks for the update. As I said before: Thanks for giving this wonderful girl a future! It's great to see the progress so far, keep up the good work.
