i was adopted as a baby! when people ask about my “real parents” it hurts. but i correct them by saying “you mean biological parents” and i explain that my real parents are the ones who adopted me and raised me almost my whole entire life. then i explain nicely to the person what real parents mean so they can understand and not make the same mistake again. my adoption was completely open. unfortunately my biological mom didn’t want contact at this point i’m okay with that. my real parents love is more than all i need. it also sucks when people ask why i “wasn’t wanted”. this is not the case. my birth mom did what she thought was best for me to have my best life. i’m forever grateful for that.

Emmie Nicole it hurt me to read that your biological mom doesn’t want contact. Do you know the reason behind it? I’m so extremely happy for you that your adoptive family is very good for you 💕

I am sorry people say things like this to you. I am fearful as an adoptive mother of the things kids or adults will say to my children. My son's are little and don't understand yet, but we've already had so many ridiculous comments, some even from friends and family. I feel like at this point people should know what is and isn't ok to say. Also, why to people think someones adoption story is always open for discussion, even with strangers? People want to ask and know intimate details and have no problem asking them, then if you respond in a polite way that you aren't going to answer that, they get upset or weird....it's crazy!

@@booboo6598 No... that isn't the end of the discussion! Yes, Alex has an amazing family! I hope his siblings have a good family too (though I question that since Josh is basically estranged from them). My comment had nothing to do with where they ended up. The family that adopted his siblings is keeping him from having contact with his biological sister (who is underage still) because they can't see past the child he was to recognize that he has grown into a good person. I don't judge them for being unable to parent him. I judge them for keeping him from his sister!

I watched this one and the Crazy Middles' one tonight. I must say, this video is exactly what I needed today. Our foster daughters (10 and 11) had not seen or talked to their bio mom since last July. Bio mom contacted me today and said how much she just missed them and wanted me to give them a hug from her. Our foster daughters have been having very big emotions lately...termination just happened last month, bio mom is sick with breast cancer, bio dad just moved back into our town, etc. Lots of feelings. I have been watching you guys for a while now and what you say about being okay with the kids still loving their bio parents and allowing them to have a relationship is so spot on. I decided to have our girls video chat with their mom today (again...first time since July that they have seen or talked to her), and lets just say, there were no dry eyes. It was definitely what the girls needed. Afterward, the girls and my husband and I talked about how it is perfectly okay for them to still love their Mom, and not feel guilty about loving us. We told them we want their mom to still be a part of their lives. It's so healing to be able to understand that our hearts are capable of loving in such a large capacity. Thank you for sharing.

What Hannah was saying about why would her bio mum ask when she hasn’t cared and never care - I get that so much. I am not adopted but my relationship with my dad is non existent, he asks about me to my siblings but doesn’t actually care enough to make contact himself. Being a parent is so hard, I have an addiction and I also have a mental illness, and life when you have no control is scary. I really hope the kids get to meet their bio family x

Awe this is going to make me cry I'm adopted from Guatemala. My parents adopted me when I was 9 months old. My birth mom did not know how to read or write she had me when she was 17. And then she instantly got pregnant with my biological brother. My biological brother and I are 11 months apart I'm the oldest. He lives with another family. I have not gone back to Guatemala yet to see if I can find my birth mom we don't know much about her. we have pictures of her but we don't know where she's at and if she's even doing well in Guatemala. I have to say I am one blessed girl to have been adopted by my parents. And I'm the only child. but I do have a biological brother and a step brother and a sister in law so I have a total of four siblings. Because my biological brother has a sister. But she is not from the same birth mom. If that makes sense

I love that you have adopted such a healthy attitude toward extended and biological families instead of feeling threatened by them. My sister and I were shuffled between divorced parents, ultimately ending up completely separated from any contact with our biological families by my dad's second wife. Growing up, family was limited to HER extended family, and although she tried hard to manipulate our feelings toward our family and paint them as not wanting us, the rest of her family was actually wonderful to us. But for us, it was always a sense of loss, and her painting them as not loving us affected our self esteem. Imagine how much better and confident we could have grown up having the love and support of my mom's family, my dad's family AND my stepmother's family. So, I commend you for not feeling threatened by your children wanting and/or needing their biological family. I'm sure that gives your children even more reason to love and appreciate you.

So fun to see two notifications from you and Crazy Middles with twin subjects. After watching Long Lost Family, my feelings about bio parents has completely changed, as you never know if they sacrificially cut ties so their children won't have to be torn between two worlds. While it's not every case, so many parents feel they are doing their best by giving them to people who love and care for them better than they could. Some are willing to be "the bad guy" by totally giving their child over to what they hope/believe are people who want and do love their child. In a word, it is "complicated." I see how torn the young people are over this, and I think it's ok to know that nothing is set in stone, not even how they feel today. If given the opportunity (which some don't have), they will go with their heart and it's step by step and ok not to have all the answers today, or ever (though we hope). Life is complicated. Thankfully, God is love, and that will never, ever change.💕

This is longer than I thought it'd be, but I wanted to share... My parents separated when I was 4 (I'm now 21),my brother and I live(d) with our Mum whilst our older half sister lived with Dad. He's had a girlfriend since about 6 months after the split, and she had 4 kids already and had another 3 with Dad, so there's 10 of us kids all together. When we were younger, my brother and I would go to Dad's every fortnight, however when I was about 12/13, my brother was 15 and he walked off from Dad's. That was when we stopped going. Growing up our Mum had to force us to go, we kind of hated it. I remember crying and pretending to be sick so that she wouldn't make me go, I always used to tell our Mum that Dad didn't love us, didn't care about us. Our Mum would always say that she didn't want to be the reason we didn't have a relationship with our Dad. When my brother walked off, our Dad didn't really care, him and his girlfriend only cared about it being Dad's birthday, Mum decided after that, that she wasn't going to force us anymore, and that we were old enough to decide whether we wanted to go or not. Since about the age of 14, it went to seeing our Dad about 3-5 times a year (each of our Birthdays and Christmas, and then maybe some family events or something), every time, it was our Mum making the effort to take us to Dad's, never the other way around. When I was 16, I wrote my Dad a letter including all my interests, my friends, the subjects I was taking at school, everything I knew he didn't know about me, but that I thought he should, as my Dad. I even put my phone number, so he could text me or something. Instead, he waited the month between our Birthdays to write his number in my card, basically saying that I need to text him first if I want to talk to him. We started texting every now and then for about 6 months, but it was always me texting first, so I gave up. I figured, if he didn't feel the need to make an effort with me, then why should I? Since then we've seen him less and less, and rarely talk to him. I have anxiety, and the last time I spoke to him, I was still shaking for about an hour after he left. I think when I'm older, I would like to have a good relationship with him, but as of right now, I think I'm better off without him.

It’s been 8 years.. i now live with my grandmother and step grandfather, because my mother was doing bad things and selling bad things. My father has been in and out of prison sense I was born, he was even in jail/prison when I was born. My mom was 19. I had to go to court at age 11. I also had to live at my uncles house for 2 weeks cuz my mom filed a safety report on my grandma. My mom and bio grandpa said that if I didn’t go with them I would have to go to foster care..(not that that’s a bad thing) and I didn’t want to, I wanted to stay with my grandma. I now am happy and have online video chats with my mom, and have visits sometimes. I also now have really bad anxiety.. anyway sorry for boring u with my problems, I just wanted to say hi and I love you and your family is beautiful.. please notice me, it’s rlly hard to talk about this...👉🏼👈🏼

neveah mackie I’m so sorry u had to go through all of that!! Reading that was boring at all, I always love hearing other people’s stories and listening to them sharing their feelings on the matter. I only have one family member that I’m not in contact with, and that’s my moms dad. My grandma never got remarried, and all I know about him is that he and my mom never got along. I know he doesn’t live to far away, but nobody talks about him or to him as far as I know. This has never bothered me though. I never knew him and I’ll never need to. My dads parents are also divorced so I have two amazing sets of grandparents on his side along with my amazing grandma on my mother’s side. My life tends not to have any real interest to it, so I love hearing other people’s stories and how far they’ve come from what they’ve gone through! You are amazing and wonderful and so much better off without that toxicity in your life. Hope you have an amazing spring and summer! (You know after we are all done with the apocalypse)

It’s hard to say that this is a great video! I cant imagine how hard it would be as a child, or even as the parent with the mental illness or the addiction. But the fact that the kids have an amazing family now, that loves them, and is there for them, makes all the difference! ❤️ to you all!

I love you and the crazy middles videos. One thing that annoys me when anyone says it, is that every child will always love their bio family no matter what. For me I will never love or have any contact with my bio dad and all my siblings due to physical abuse from my siblings and their partners. And the mental abuse from my dad and his new wife. Even with my mum who I live with, I will never have an okay relationship let alone a good one with her.

I totally get the hesitation over meeting!! My parents divorced when I was 2. My dad was in and out of my life and there were several stretches when he was out for several years at a time. It was hurtful to me to have him come back in after so many years. It felt unhealthy to my heart as a child/teen/adult. It took a lot of years to find healing and be in a healthier place so that the in and out wasn’t so hurtful and stressful and so the past didn’t feel drudged back up (I had lots of feelings of abandonment and rejection). So glad your kids have you to protect them and help them with these relationship situations!! ❤️

Does anyone else think it's crazy that children aren't given basic info about their parents? I would like to think this is a basic human right, but it happens everywhere with adoption or fostering...it always seems like they are protecting the parents more than a child. Shouldn't both have the same rights? I am already so nervous about when my kids grow up, if they want to search for their bio parents. Not for any reason other than if they don't ever find them or know who gave them life. I know zero info is common in international adoption, but I didn't realize even here in America, they don't give kids their OWN information. Mind blowing! I had a pit in my stomach as your son was talking, bless his little heart. As an adoptive momma, I would have fallen apart when he said he's envious of the siblings that do know their parents.😭😭 I hope he gets his wish and has the opportunity to find them!

Love this so much y'all. My Dad is adopted, it's been difficult because I now have 4 families because my parents divorced and I have my step dads family now also and I met my dads bio fam 10 years ago and it's hard to keep up with all the families. Also, yeah for sure, I have mental illness and there is nothing that can get in between those I love and I. Mental illness especially when its multiple diagnoses can be so debilitating and can get in the way of functioning properly but my love for people is so high. Trauma made me vulnerable and angry and sad. I made myself kind and I choose to love. I can totally relate to Aaron with the multiple christmases and such. Its hard to keep up with! Love you guys! Xoxo and hello from Canada!

Everytime i watch your videos i cant tell you how much i respect you 2 parents more n more each time..My dream has always been to be a foster parent.Ive worked my whole life with Mentally n physically challenged disabled adults n children and my mother Whos passed also was Director of 3 homes that housed those adults until retirement and my daughter now has followed in our footsteps also working at the same non profit organization..Be it disability or not Fostering has been my dream.Im 50 now but i have a sister who passed when i was 9 n she was 10.She was put in a facility by my grandfather n mother as a baby due to disabilities caused at birth n my parents being alcoholics.So she was not in a foster home but she was cared by others other then my parents whom couldn't live up to the responsibility as parents for her ,as like the biological parents of most foster children...I PRAISE YOU WONDERFUL PARENTS.YOU ARE THE MOST UNDERSTANDING LOVING AND GENEROUS HUMAN BEINGS I HAVE EVER KNOWN (WELL SOMEWHAT LOL).NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE THESE 7 incredible foster kids (cant forget Jamie n her sister n her baby )n 1 grandchild but You have your own 2 biological children.But you are a very Blessed, Special n Unique set of foster Parents.A needle in the haystack for not just foster children but any child in general.And Why?You not only provide a home for these children to lay their heads down at night in,You provide Love,Trust,Honesty,Respect,Communication,Frienships and most importantly Faith...God is Good and when these wonderful children were brought to you Thru foster or through yourself biologically.....God Knew what he was doing and couldn't of picked any better couple then you 2.OMG...WAIT!!AND I FORGOT...A surrogate for those other couples...YOU ARE AMAZING AND DONT HAVE A SELFISHBONE IN THAT SOUL OF YOURS.YOU ARE WHAT FAMILY SHOULD REPRESENT.LOVE YOU ALL.GOD BLESS N STAY SAFE.(Sorry so long)

When this whole Corona thing is over, I'm going with my younger sister Evelyn who is 9. I have a younger sister names Elora, who will also go when she is old enough. We are very exited, but still very nervous. Just wanted to tell you that your and the crazy middles videos have really been helping me and my sister calm down the nerves.

It's good that you let the kids know that saying mom doesn't matter I felt like I was caught between my foster mother and my biological mother to even talk about one of them they were so jealous of each other. The kids could change their minds the older they get even when they are 30 years old they could all the sudden decide that they want to meet one of them every year you grow a little bit and things change so you never know but I think you guys are great foster parents and great adoptive parents all your children know they are loved you can tell in the videos.
