WHEN Alex and Noah shared the news that they were going to have a baby, they received a lot of negativity. Alex has a rare disease called spinal muscular atrophy type two and Noah is one of her main caregivers. The couple received nasty comments and there were a lot of misconceptions about Alex being disabled and pregnant. Earlier this year, she gave birth to their gorgeous daughter, Ari, who is now four-months-old. She said: “My pregnancy experience was one of the hardest things I have ever done but I have this beautiful little lady.” Since Ari was born, the negativity has continued with comments questioning both their capabilities as parents. Trolls criticise their parenting, saying Noah is not capable of looking after Alex and Ari, or they assume that their daughter will become her mother’s caregiver. Alex said: “Trolls say I am not fit to be a parent because I am disabled.” But the couple will not let this negativity stop them from posting on social media. Alex said: “I am dedicated to breaking stigmas about disability and being a parent.”

the update on this couple is wild. apparently she is a scammer and her boyfriend was cheating on her and flirting with multiple women. together they destroyed her ex-caretakers belongings because they were mad at him. scary stuff, they are not as innocent they come across!
Do you have evidence of such claims?
Totally can see that
I was just about to say... Lol people are not just going around doing this
Dad challenge podcast
Yes. They are a mess. I hope A gets some stability in her life.
I cannot tell you how many able-bodied parents I have encountered that are NOWHERE near fit to be parents and don’t even have the resources to take care of their children. After viewing this episode, it is quite evident these two are very loving, devoted parents. I truly wish this family all the best!
Exactly ♥️
@@momof4kids735 Can you believe the peabrain trolls saying this nonsense to Alex?
It's not about if you are being physically abled to be a great mom, it's about how big a parent's heart is.
@@kenterminateddq5311 NO I can’t! 😡 A mother is not measured in her physical abilities, but by her commitment to the unconditional love of her child, and to providing her with everything she needs to become a loving and productive adult. In fact, their child will be more sensitive and understanding to the differences of others because of her mother
This family is unusual but they look like loving and caring parents so I wish them only happiness ❤
I think they were concerned about genetic deformities.
I think some of the “trolls” are just concerned and worried about her boyfriend being able to be the primary caregiver to both Alex and Ari because he recently came out of drug & alcohols rehab - he wasn’t even there for the baby’s birth due to being in rehab. the trolls are worried an out elapse since it can be very stressful being a caretaker. Wish them all the best, and I am sure they have lots of supports around them.
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I don’t mean to sound negative but that’s an insane amount of pressure to put on someone with such a problem.
That’s why they have a nanny.
Now that fact got selectively left out. I will give their relationship a year at most. Both are being very unrealistic about their future together and his ability to take care of them both. Don't post on social media unless you're prepared to hear some truths.
@@janececelia7448speak life into these people for crying out loud. Death and life is in the power of the tongue.
Its okay to have concerns, however, she has a whole team helping her. Her mother, and support staff. She has a nanny and caretaker. She has always had support if you followed her. Give people who were addicts a chance. People shouldn't leave negative comments.
I'm disabled and I'm hopeful that one day I will be a dad!
I really hope you will be a father one day too everyone deserves happiness I wish you nothing but the best🌈
@@joannedibben2352 thank you so much for your kind words
I wish you the best, but I recommend adopting if you really want to be a father. It’s cruel to do that to someone you’re supposed to love. I despise my mother for passing on her crippling disabilities.
@@missfortune8553Now that is just rude. You’re basically implying that people with disabilities don’t deserve to live and wanna know what that belief is rooted in? It’s rooted in Eugenics. Stop it with the ableism right now.
❤️
As long as she’s loved and cared for and healthy. That’s all anyone should see.
Shes not though
That’s ridiculous that someone threatened to call CPS, Ari is clearly loved and taken good care of!
Whoever did call CPS should be ashamed (none of your business Karen!!)
A mandated reporter called, the “trolls” aren’t upset that she’s disabled. It’s her lies and behavior.
@@taniagracianoreyes3970what do you mean?
The people who hate this girl are completely unhinged and fully think they are justified in it.
That's crazy.they have people killing their kids abusing daily and a person is handicap and u think that's threatening the child? People are carzy
I am physically disabled, I am 90% paralyzed on my left side due to an illness as a baby. I learnt to do everything with one hand including tying my shoe with one hand. I had a hard time growing up with people poking fun at me. I got married, had two children and received a university education, and had a full time job. My husband was always there for me until he passed in 2019. My son helps me out when I need it. I always felt that it was not all that bad dealing with a disability, the hard part was dealing with society who thought it was OK voicing their opinions.
1 Does your daughter helps too and have you able to play baby dolls with your other kid that your other is a daughter?
2 And how your husband past?
@@Kawayoporu I had two sons.
@@caroljeanscott5571 Are you trying for a baby girl to add a girl in the family?
@@caroljeanscott5571And a girl needs to help you with girly things.
Now. Your kids will have to take care of you. Not fair for the kids.
I remember her on Truly, when she went out on a date. Now I came across this! Congratulations!! Glad to see that she found a special someone, and they had a healthy baby!
12 months dating.. 9 months pregnant.. 4 month baby.. is probably another reason ppl are doubting them. Also.. once the baby is getting into something while he is helping her physically to do something, his hands will be FULLLLLL.
I’m a full time caregiver and mother of two. I understand ENTIRELY. I hope his heart stays strong and pure & he will do fine!
We need to support them not break them down.
They also said the baby was premature, so their timeline could totally checkout.
Who cares how long they were together before conserving. Do you know how darn common that is nowadays. It doesn’t make them any less of parents. People can doubt them all they want. But I know they will go far as a family and come out on top. They love each other and their beautiful baby girl. Timeline should make no difference!! Especially to the public. It’s not our lives. It’s theirs!!!
She is a beautiful baby! Congratulations to you both!
That baby is so chunky and cute!
Not only does Noah take care of her he has to do EVERYTHING for the baby too while recovering from addiction this is a sad situation
How is this anyone's business????
Awww she’s adorable 🥹 I hope everything works out for them ❤
She can barely hold the kid- so I guess yeah props to her.. SMH it's just not fair to the child. And how are they affording all of this?! Looks like they live in a pretty nice place.. intimacy would be so weird.. I mean let's be real.
His parents....
And I know for a fact her daughter is going to grow up to love her mom no matter what! Probably have questions sure but I'm sure HER MOTHER will explain her condition to her daughter and have her understand I know a lot of parents that are in wheelchairs and their children ask them why and they explain why yeah they don't understand it first but as they get older they ask again and they explain again and when they're older their minds are more understanding and can wrap their heads around it she's going to be a great mom and when her daughter gets older I'm sure she'll explain her everything that she needs to know
Motherhood should have no discrepancies! Happy for them both.
Beautiful baby … loving parents … that’s all anyone should see
And a wheelchair
@@JamesWest_III James that is not necessary… we all have items we use in life. The fact that she uses a wheel chair is as insignificant as you using a tooth brush .. hopefully you use one to help wash out your ignorant mouth.
Positivity ❤
😉☺️❤️❤️❤️
Uhmm no. He has a drug addiction so stop hiding your head in the sand. He was there for the birth but in rehab.
This is a beautiful, loving family. How awful that people pass such terrible judgement on them. I wish them nothing but the best. I see so many able-bodied people who should have never become parents. You are a great mother.
They're actually both pretty awful people
@@lynettebrWhere's your proof of that?
😊I think it's amazing that this women gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby. Way to go girl you are an inspiration to me
She shouldn't be. Shes horrible
@@lynettebr you are horrible for saying that. What's your problem this lady is more of a woman than you will ever be.
Congratulations!! She's beautiful! I swear folks are so miserable. If you're able to afford a Nanny to assist with the physical things you can't do, what is the problem. My gma didn't walk for 27 yrs while I was growing up. She had MS and laid on a couch. She was an amazing gma. She couldn't do the typical gma tasks but she made up for it in other ways. I'm sorry people are so hateful. Congratulations again!
Humans can suck especially when they're hidden behind a keyboard
In what ways did she make up for it?
@@Sssssssslf I’d genuinely like to know too. I’ve seen MS, terrible disease. You become a sentient vegetable. That’s no way to “live”.
what's ms?
@@campediemmultiple sclerosis
I honestly wish ppl would stop judging who is fit or not as a parent... I think their both beautiful parents and sweet Ari is lucky to have them ! ❤❤ congratulations 🎉
I would like to wish you wonderful parents and beautiful Ari all the best ,
I have cerebral palsy and never had the confidence to put myself out on the “market “ to find love and possibly experience parenthood for exactly the same reasons that you guys cop the negative unfounded criticism because I don’t believe that i would have the physical and mental capacity to rise above the negative criticism.
Congratulations to the both of you on reaching parental bliss amidst the negative criticism
Love to all of you ❤xxx
I have cp too! I have 3 littles! Hang in there!
If all children had loving caring parents like you, the world would be perfect 🙏🙏❤️❤️
They're awful parents though
If they were to split up she wouldn't be able to look after baby
Congrats on your baby girl!!! People are going to hate, enjoy your baby ❤
What a gorgeous family! I'm so happy for you guys😍😍😍
Good job on not letting those haters get to you guy's, because everything they say is stemmed from their own ignorance, and they should be embarrassed. Anyone that goes out of their way to harass a family because their different, is someone with a lot of self loathing
I love watching this between you two. I am sorry that people give you trouble, most uncalled for. You two do very well with her. Just keep loving each other and continue spreading that love to Ari
Lowkey feel like the husband and nanny have somethin goin on 😂
Pointing out the inherent risk and complications in this child's life doesn't make someone a troll.
Oh, wise one, please point out what risks this child has with 2 loving parents and a nanny? God forbid a child be raised to see people for who they are, not make judgments based upon appearance, be compassionate, open-minded, and well rounded. I'm sure it would be OK if the mother had become disabled after having a child, say from a car accident, right?
Exactly! It's simply the truth of the matter
@@ClearwaterKB how is the mother going to stop the baby from choking on something? Is that a good enough example?
@@Givemeliberty30 that is why there is a dad and a nanny to help make sure the baby is safe and taken care of as well as mom.
@@ClearwaterKBYou realize that their are risks GENETICALLY right? Her child could have had a high risk of defects or handicaps or even death. They are lucky this hasn't seemed to happen. That's why people with disabilities tend to not have children. Use your head, its not always about the parents being good or bad.
As much as people just look by it, if she didn't have a caregiver, she wouldn't be able to take of that child by herself. The baby would already lose out on a big portion of their life now. It isn't that she isn't fit to be a parent, she just can't do it physically by herself.
It isn't stigma, people just know that people with disabilities already have difficulties in life, bringing in a child makes it worse, especially in this world we live in now.
I mean, the guy barley even smiled throughout this whole video, that says a lot.
In this case her dream was more important when what she can really give a child in life. And you know the child will be bullied in school. I understand everybody has the right to give birth if they can. But if you should the question
@@spidermonkeynr1bullies nowadays aren't that bad
@@spidermonkeynr1 the bully part is a weak argument. Hell everyone is claiming that anymore. There's no way you'll be able to guess who's going to be bullied. He might grow up being the bully. Just saying
Exactly. He looks overwhelmed while she is beaming ear to ear, and it's no wonder, she 'surprised' him with a kid and he instantly became a caretaker for 2. She is selfish and narcissistic
@@SssssssslfBS. He knew well she was capable of getting pregnant and I'm assuming knew how babies are made. His choice. My only criticism is why are they putting themselves and their baby all over the internet and then complaining about trolls?
I'm so happy that they have become parents! They're wonderful and loving parents, and the trolls are just stupid fools!
There's actually a lot of evidence that she's a horrible mother, and the father is equally, if not more terrible
You are both truly blessed with such a beautiful daughter. I love the view out your window too! ❤
Well they are broke up now. Everyone with a brain knew it wouldn't last.
Proof?
Our hypocritical society has no moral standards to judge how a couple cares for a child. Congratulations on overcoming all these difficulties. God bless your family. 🥰
That's why I don't post about my disabilities anymore because people you know saying faking when they don't know MY LIFE OR WHAT I GO THROUGH ON A DAILY IT'S LIKE PEOPLE ARE SO DESPERATE THAT THEY'LL MAKE UP ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND THINK IT'S FUNNY AND THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT AND THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU LIKE THEY'RE A FAMILY MEMBER OR A FRIEND OR SOMETHING WHEN NOOOOOOO
Why is anyone feeling bad for the dad? He knew his wife had a disability and CHOOSE to be with her. He also knows how babies are made and CHOOSE to be intimate with her.
If he didn't want to marry a woman with a disability, he didn't have to. Some y'all acting like he doesn't have any agency here.
One big happy family! Best wishes to you three!❤
What a beautiful family. I am so proud of them.
We all deserve someone who shows concern and care for us. And she has found her person ❤. Congratulations on the baby
well the only thing I would be concerned about is if the faulty gene is passed down, then you're just setting up someone else for a difficult life, maybe not your daughter but her children or theirs...
Misery loves company…
@@missfortune8553 ok miss fortune, go ahead and sing a song and live in your la-di-dah world where everything is sunshine and rainbows and there are no consequences to anything
As a disabled man that needs alot of assistant just like alex does this gives me confident that i can hopefully one day be a great dad. Congrats you guys!
a pet fish or a cat would be a better option
Why? Because she’s disabled?
😂😂😂😂
Literally just watched the video of her coming out pregnant yeaterday, can't believe she's arrived! Such a beautiful little baby!! 😭
You are a kind, loving person and your baby will know her mom is a rockstar. Wishing you all the best of everything
she is not fit to be a parent. period. neither is her husband
And now they are broke up. Living with Noah's parents in Florida. And DCF has already visited them there...... LMAO
there are enough challenges with a healthy woman....I can't fathom how hard it must be for the momma and for the dad to take on so much to caring of the baby and momma...God be with your beautiful family...I know the longing of wanting children....I adopted both mine....
this didn't age well..
If you put a little water in the bottom of the bottle, it will help the powder not to stick. Just a small tip. You're both doing great! ❤ Congratulations, she's a darling baby!!
I’m pretty sure they aren’t asking anyone for parenting tips 🙄 like that’s almost like your trying to be rude and insulting without being to obvious about it. They are doing great as parents. Are you not looking at the same healthy 4 month old we are all looking at?
Should always fill water first up to the line and then add powder afterward to guarantee you have the correct amount of liquid that's required for the formula.
@@tanyaLooking_InTheRear-Viewyou literally just got defensive over nothing . One, op is right. Two, she ended the comment saying that they're both doing great.
I wasn't trying to be rude. It was just something I noticed and something I did for my own kids bottle. Nothing more.
@@Meant2BCrowneD don't worry, you did nothing wrong :)
Poor child. It will grow up having to take care of that woman
Albeist disabled people can take care off themselves.
@@SelenaJones-zi3ii really? Lol
Awww, I remember the video of when she was pregnant. Congratulations to them 🧡🎊🎉
Watching her as a mother is truely impressive to me 👌 shes doing a awesome job being a mom and she showes everyone that almost anyone can raise a baby, no mater if someone is disabled or not 👍👏👌 trolls is nothing but trolls and is only jelouse about what they are doing wrong in theyr lifes and lets it out on others
She’s a healthy baby, they have a home, and an able body parent willing to step up, so how does her disability make her a bad parent?
Good on you for not letting your disability stop you doing what you want with your life.
I am a physically disabled mom and I have two adult kids now my daughter is 25 and my son is 23 and when they were born I was told I wouldn't be able to have a baby and I did and I had them naturally which for some of my disabled friends weren't as lucky I was truly grateful to God that I proved everyone wrong. Being disabled doesn't mean you can't parent. I was able to do 98 % of things for my kids the only thing I couldn't do was just carry them around but my husband would help me. But everything else I did. So you guys keep doing it your doing an amazing job and you baby girl is precious.
I’m disabled, but I hope to be a mom someday
❤
Just because someone has some sort of disability means that they do not deserve the same treatment, the sane love and care as the rest of us. These people have the same right ad everyone else. Instead of passing in judgements we should encourage, support and advise them in their journey. ❤
Wow, what a fantastic thing for you. Disabled people are still people. I bet she has more love to give her than able bodied people give their kids. What a beautiful gift, to give a life 😍 😊❤ your special ❤️
They have all the love needed for the child and they support each other with their tasks as parents. They will be fine.
Congratulations to their little family! The baby is obviously loved, cared for, and has all her needs met. Haters are just ableist, judgmental, and misinformed, and they don't bother to do research before trying to bully the family. Since they wanted the baby, I feel like aborting just bc the mother is disabled is a form of eugenics. She's allowed to have kids too. Again though, congrats to the family!
La niña es hermosa!!!. Deseo que disfruten mucho de la hermosa familia que están formando. 💕
You don't need to be a dr. to know the risks. Common sense is all that's required. If a person can take care of themselves and a baby than it's ok. There are people that are not disabled and do a bad job raising kids, some even criminally. I'm a man that raised two kids alone from day two of their lives. So i know what it takes. This woman has the main thing to raise kids, love. She loves her child. Yes l know it takes more but I'm not losing sleep wondering about the baby cause l believe the baby is being well taking care of.
The best thing you can give a child as a parent is love and attention and you are doing that making you a better parent than most.
BEAUTIFUL baby girl. Beautiful, strong, determined MOTHER. And a FATHER that is SO nurturing to the baby and the mother. Wow. May this family continue to be filled with the same strength, love and support they have for each other now. Children ALL over the world born into “nOrMaL” parents would only be so lucky to have such amazing parents as Ari does. May God bless them forever and always.
Being disabled does not mean a person should not have a child. There are genetic risks with two able-bodied individuals and anomalies occur. As long as the child has a good quality of life and the parents want/care/love them - let them be happy.
These trolls are nothing but horrible jealous individuals who are narrow minded and have nothing better to do! You have something they can't take away from you. 😊❤😊
💯%!!!! A bunch of miserable souls who find joy in tearing others down. Funny they don’t like or support this family. Yet watch every single thing they do. Their gonna go far in life and all these TROLLS will continue to be narrow minded losers.
I was so hoping you would post more with Alex after her baby was born!! She seems like a wonderful Mama 💗 When that baby gets bigger I bet she will climb up into Mommy's lap all the time.
I had 11 kids and people can be so mean. Having a child is God's blessing. You are so lucky to have a wonderful husband. God is with you for sure. ❤
I remember when she was all over the media looking for someone to love her.. and she couldnt find anyone to save her life.
Now she got a baby!
People like to point out negative things or hate on someone for things they have no control of. It's ridiculous to hate on someone for wanting and having a family. Able-bodied people with families have accidents and become disabled all the time. If this was the case the majority of comments would be how inspiring she is for continuing on and loving her family. Life isn't fair, but that doesn't mean someone doesn't have a right to make the best of it.
I'm so glad that you are able to do some stuff. It's great to see you doing what you can rather than just sitting there. ❤❤❤
Honey ignore the ignorant, and live your best life. Blessings to you and your family.❤
that window puts me very very nervous
She speaks with so much poise
Its so lovely to watch her
I have cerebral palsy and autism. I don't have any kids but i do plan on becoming a daddy someday. I want 7 kids and I've already picked out names for my future kiddos. Zayto, Javi, Aiyon, Christopher, Izzy, Vivian and Selena. I know that 7 kids is a lot but it's what i want. Seeing this video proves to me that anyone can raise children no matter what their disability is. Shout out to Alex and Noah, you both are incredible parents. And Ari is so damn cute!!!! If u guys can raise kids, so can i!!!! Much love 😊👍🖤
After I got my diagnosed my partner still proposed to me and knowing it's hereditary.its scary that people still believe disabled or disability people can't be parents.
Your disabled body made a human! We should be celebrating how amazing your disabled body is.❤❤❤
As someone with a similar diagnosis, she is not a good representative for us. She’s manipulative, immature, obnoxious, and consistently uses troll tactics herself even one someone presents a reasoned and evidence based counter argument. Do not take this interview at face value.
☝🏼
This baby is getting better care than most babies are in this world that have to non handicap parents!!! Because there is a hell of a lot of drug addicted parents that disgustingly neglect their babies every single day in this world so this baby is lucky as hell to have two loving parents and a nanny to love and care for her!!!
Is the title correct? They are a couple with a child. She has a partner who is the father! What's the problem? There is none! Beautiful and blessed child!
There are a lot of parents out there not fit to be looking after a child, these are definitely not two of them. That baby is so loved and well taken care of.
People can be so heartless 💔 😞 im so sorry you have to deal with this crap! Everyone deserves to be happy equally and your no different! I have followed you since you did the blind date thing lol your amazing girl😅 im so happy for you !!
That's Beautiful 😍☺️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful mom, caring husband and a Beautiful Princess💖
May they live happy and Blessed 🤲
No one has the right to criticize her or her husband. That baby is adorable and those parents are incredible ❤️
I ❤ LOVE you all. You’re so beautiful and inspiring. God Bless and Keep You Forever.
I pray that man never decides to leave her.
He needs support because he is also in recovery. ❤ Much love to both...
The only thing I get stressed out about is where they live. A mobile toddler in a skyscraper house and lots of glass windows. 😢
Dude basically sucked at getting girls so he lowered his standards to this girl. Once she stops opening those leg’s frequently he will search elsewhere.
You go girl! have those babies, don't listen to what people say.
Lovely meeting such a wonderful family .'Idiots said ' not people ..Your story is such a happy one.Lots of love to the three of you :)
Damn some people can be really heartless saying those things to this woman/family. Why would she not deserve to be a mother as well? Good luck to this lovely family! my daughters name is Ari too :p well Ariana, but we always call her Ari
Honestly it’s no one’s business but theirs. The child is being taken care of and looks healthy and happy. Leave them alone. This video should have been about them celebrating the new life not negativity. That’s sad. People suck
Its the people being hateful to a clearly happy family that wouldnt be good parents just truly awful, there a plenty of people that are not disabled that are horiffic uncaring parents so whats their excuse?
A LOT of people in this world shouldn't have kids, including the women in this video.
It is okay, not everyone should have kids.
@@knowledge4741well I hope you have no disabled children because obviously you hate disabled people! SHAME ON YOU
@@knowledge4741there's no law against disabled people having kids people with disabilities are allowed to have children. I'm 37 years old. My dad is 72 and he's my caregiver because I have a lot of mental and physical intellectual disabilities severe. Is it hard for my dad to take care of a disabled child and live with him forever? OF COURSE but it's your duty as a parent and it's your responsibility FOREVER! To take care of them so I really hope you don't have any disabled kids or know any because obviously you don't approve of us disabled people LITERALLY SHAME ON YOU
Congrats on your beautiful baby!
My daughter is disabled with Down syndrome , I don’t think I would want her having a baby of her own😮
You and your husband are fantastic. You are probably a better mom than any of them because of your understanding and determination. Way to go. Lucky kid.
Children are not suppose to be fed while lying flat on their backs. They can choke and swallow winds. I don’t think people are jealous or critical it’s about are you able to fully care for your child in a safe way. Already you are not able to hold her to feed her. That already is a safety issue. So for that reason I would say you didn’t put her needs first. Your child will also not be lying on her back in a crib forever. She will be running around, falling over, getting hurt. Will you be able to provide the standard of care she will need then? I pray you have family who will come up alongside you to help you.🙏
I wouldn't be on social media. I don't have Facebook or Twitter etc. Makes life better
If they say "You can't be a mom because you are disable",I say It's Nonsense
That is amazing. Im so happy that she is a mother with a disability.
Seems like wonderful parents that really love their daughter.
I'm caring for twin boys that had a perfectly able bodied Mom, but she was too focused on her addictions, that she abandoned her most precious gifts. She was physically able. But not stable enough to be a Mother. They are now my most precious gifts and i can't imagine my life without them.
I struggle with health issues as well, but would never let that stop me from being the best Mom that I can be for these sweet boys. They only need love and everything else will work out.
