As a former child in the foster system, I've been asked why I did not get involved with displaced or troubled youth. I saw first hand the fickle behavior of foster workers. I knew adopted children. It takes an extremely special person to do this. You have to have absolute love for these kids. They are treated like commodities...or charged with being " grateful " when actually the beauty is with the privilege to help. That's major responsibility and a heart bigger than what most have.

When she died alone in that house, she and two of the adopted children were not on good terms. Everything ended up going to her greedy and miserable sisters. But at the end of the day, the kids did forgive in time and came to love her, but only after she had died.

I'm going to play devils advocate and show things from the parents perspective. After the show airs the two older kids become disrespectfu and resentful because the feel entitled to the gift cards and prizes given by the show. They harass the parents constantly and cause trouble because they feel like they were the main reason the parents got the the prizes and giftcards in the first place. After so much abuse the parents decide to kick the 2 older children out. The two older children feel cheated and abandoned so they decide to make false allegations to cps about their foster parents, or maybe they just exaggerate how they felt they were treated. Because of the allegations from the older 2 older kids and Out of safety concerns cps decides to remove the younger 3 children just to be safe. The parent fight desperately to get the the 3 youngest back but out of precaution they are denied by cps. The 2 older children still resentful decide to get even more revenge on their parents, so they contact the media and present a sensationalized version of the story. The media being the media decides to edit the story in a one sided manner because know their gullible audience will eat up any great story with evil step moms and innocent little Cinderellas. The of course the gullible audience eats it up, and because of cognitive dissonance nothing you present them afterwards will change their minds. Finn.

@@citizencoy4393 What blows my mind is that if there is that much money in the kitty for caring for those kids, why isn't it being used in the "group homes" run by the states so that they are not such dumps? Pay the employees there enough to actually care for the kids properly and there would be no need for this situation to even be a thing.

What breaks my heart is that people can do this and then shift responsibility to the 5 kids who just wanted a Family. I live in a tiny house with one bedroom. I've fostered multiple children and made it work. I felt bad having them in such a small area but I tell you that they didn't see it that way. They were just so Happy to have someone care, sacrifice for them and remind them everyday that your the lucky one to have them. That they are loved. I've had difficult situations where it almost broke me, I stayed. I fought for them. I wish I had a home that Big so I could save so many kids from living in a group home or stuck in the system. I choose not to have a vehicle so I can work on my credit and get it to a place where I can buy a Home myself for this reason and that's to help kids. That's Love. I don't mean to sound like I'm a saint. I'm just trying to express how much others would do to have helped children, yet these people use it as an advantage and in the process hurt the kids more then before. That should be Jail. For All those who sacrifice for these Children, thank you. More are needed. And for those who do this and disrupt a child's life even more, Should be ashamed of yourselves and you will reap what you sow. 🙏💯❤️🫂

I was asked by the social worker if I would return my baby if I discovered he was blind or deaf. I was shocked & said, “No, of course not!” But another couple had done just that with their tiny, precious new baby. I’m sorry this happened, but y’all have a beautiful light shining from within that shows & will be just fine & ultimately better off in life. May God Bless 🙏

The oldest brother and sister are now adults, so they could adopt their younger siblings...then get a lawyer and do a civil suit for a settlement against those con-artists "parents"! Since the house was "given" to the WHOLE family...those five adopted children SHOULD LEGALLY BE ABLE TO GET 5 EQUAL MONETARY PORTIONS of the NEW FAMILY home's value, AS WELL AS THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE GIFTS AND CASH received for "the adopted children". That way, the five kids could reunite, buy a home of their own... and enjoy a REAL loving family...made up of their own siblings!

This story is so sad, being adopted myself I know what its like not feeling wanted. I was lucky my parents didn't do it for the money, they did it for my sister and I. What these kids "adopted parents" did was so wrong. That house was supposed to be for all of them! Those kids were the only reason why the parents got the house. And to spend money that is supposed to go to your organization on your self is just stealing. And those parents are stilling lying about what they did. I am glad those kids are out of the house, I just hope they are together. I was separated from my three younger siblings, and reconnected with them a couple of years ago.

One of my old co workers i used to work with at my previous job. She was in foster care with a family when she was a kid and they were only in it for the money and she said it was an absolute living nightmare for her. CPS found out and the kids were taken out of the house because the kids weren’t being taken cared of. I felt so bad. You don’t treat any child that way, it makes me so angry that parents would do that. That family should not be allowed to adopt any children due to their selfish desires. They go back to court to get them back and yet they left their lives for a whole year.

Probably the biggest mistake ABC made was not being more transparent about how the show worked and how they helped these families.
