“He feels separation from his foster mom, and this is the second time that he has to be separated from a parent. But I wish he could understand that this will be the last time” my heart 😭😭♥️
So this is just so beautiful. I’ve been watching these stories for the last 24 hours. I have five kids. I’m glad I didn’t start adopting cuz knowing my heart is have way too many kids. No. I couldn’t give that many a good life but just the same. There’s something so perfectly right watching these people become parents to children they’ve chosen to love forever as their own. I think when I was younger I thought biological was it but I can see something so EXTREMELY beautiful in many ways more beautiful than a biological child. A parent that loves with their whole heart is everything no matter how that child got there. This is just amazing.
I love how you guys chose to adopt a baby that speaks the same language as you guys, I know it should not matter but I can’t help but feel like it might be a little less traumatic for him with this big change when he atleast can understand and communicate with his new parents❤️
Yes, the adjustment period has not been easy, but the language and food def helps, and we are making sure that he learns Korean so that when he meets his birth family one day- he can communicate with them without a translator.
I agree with you. Of course not always feasible maybe for kids to be placed with families of the same background, but language is so important! Being able to communicate with and understand his parents can only be a good thing I'm sure :)
@@tikusblue I think that it is why the perspective families/parents really need to understand all the implications that come from adopting from another race/culture, and not be motivated by "white saviour complex" because that can leave some severe damage
Yes, and we will continue to teach him Korean at home so one day when he meets his birth family he can communicate and build relationship with them without a translator
Korean Family Adventures that's great that you're already planning that he will meet his birth family one day. I wonder if South Korea now has open adoptions?
Levi is so smart. His foster family obviously took very good care of him and he was loved. It must be so sad to see him grieving, but it is a healthy sign that he does grieve. I wish you all a great life together!
Aaw imagine in like 20 years, Levi finds his foster mum to thank her 😭 how many children has that woman cared for man? Eugh I hope one day to either adopt or foster
@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 I love that idea...I feel like it will be so wonderful for his foster momma to see what beautiful job y'all have done raising Levi!!
What a beautiful story. I found myself incredibly emotional at the foster mom’s reaction. We often don’t think about their perspective when the babies they’ve raised go to their forever homes. Although it’s the end goal and an incredible blessing, I can imagine how painful it must be to hand the baby off for the last time.
Yes, I don't know how the foster moms do it, she said he was her 11th child, and then after he left she got 2 more foster babies. To raise them for a year or more and send them away- a piece of her heart has to be cut out. I'm incredibly sad for her.
Korean Family Adventures that is so true, it must be so hard for the foster parents ,but it must also be such a blessing to love on these children so desperate for love and care. The foster parent are the ones who really shows them that grownups can be loving and caring. It most likely makes it easier for the children to be able to connect to their adoptive parents. In my experience it’s much harder for the children from orphanages mostly left in their beds having to learn to soothe and comfort themselves, often learning Stimmung behavior, being neglected, food deprived and under stimulated , maybe not being able to recognize and receive love. Adoption is such a complex mixture of loss, grief, hope and love. I only wish children could be adopted before they are a year old. It must be easier not to be able to remember so much, but still so much could already have impacted them anyway. I’m so happy he is one of the ones getting a real loving supporting family with his best in mind. I hope and pray you all will be a huge blessing to each other ❤️
We knew a family who fostered. One day, his mom could adopt him again. The while family was devastated and depressed for months and months. They grieved over the loss of their family member. They loved him like their own.
I'm so glad these babies live in foster homes. I imagine they are better off than orphanages. The babies will have significantly less chance of having emotional/behavioral issues because they were environments where they were cared for, loved, touched,fed, played with, read to, etc.
I know the ideal scenario. Imagine how much more distressing it is for a baby if the new parents speak a different language and he can't understand them?
Levi's foster mama loved him so much. It's wonderful to know that he knew love and kindness and happiness with her. I'm happy for y'all. He is simply gorgeous.
The love between him and his foster mom was very apparent. I can’t imagine how traumatic this was for him and I hope he is adjusting okay. People forget that while adopting a child may be exciting, it is born completely from trauma and loss. I am so happy that you two are his parents and that he will continue to be loved and cherished.
I've cried so hard watching this!!! First, for this precious baby's loss...and than for his GAIN❤❤❤ As a black woman...seeing this beautiful Asian baby find his Forever home with parents of his same culture and language....my heart is bursting and I'm so glad TH-cam showed me your channel...SUBSCRIBED and Notifications turn On ❤❤❤❤ May God bless your beautiful family 💘
I'd love to give that foster mother a big long hug. What a selfless thing to do to care and love a child knowing he will belong to someone else and you will have to part one day. I can't imagine such selflessness. Will they be keeping in touch with her from time to time?
What testament to the foster mom that Levi is so precious. Adopting is heroic...but loving and nurturing a child knowing you will have to let them go...my, my... and then she has the nerve to keep it together during the separation. What a woman!
The foster mum must felt so much pain to have to give the little baby away, I can see it in her face. You guys are amazing people with so much compassion and love.
I know I really felt for her. So hard to care for and love a little boy and then have to hand him over to someone else. I know she knows this from the start but it must still be so hard.
I cried so hard. My heat broke three time in this video 1. Thinking about the foster mom 2. Levi crying at night 3. You guys are going to be his forever parents .
Yes, it's a christian based agency, and the gentleman who founded the agency- he's passed now, it was his policy that before each child was sent off that he would pray over each child.
I am adopted myself and bless you both for taking on this adorable child! I think he fell asleep so quickly in the taxi after the pickup because his brain couldn't handle any more trauma.... It's so sad. If only they know that their lives are about to be changed for the better forever! By the way, I think this boy is so lucky that you could talk to him in Korean! You can see how much he already understand in his native language! And imagine the shock if you're being given away to American parents whose language you do not speak at all.... and who call you a different name than you actually have. I like how you mentioned: "Levi, where is your belly button?" "Levi, where is your head?" etc. It's also a known thing that, in the beginning, an adoptee bonds more with their new father than their mother. As he unfortunately already knows separation (twice!) from a maternal figure.... first his bio mum, and second his foster mum. Even though they are a baby, it's in their cells. They know.
I cried so hard watching this because it was hard to watch Levi go through grieving.. but I know Levi’s in good hands and the last part where all his brothers and grandma so happy to meet Levi was priceless!!
I got so sad when the foster mum got upset, she seems like an angel. Levi is so cute and seems like the sweetest boy. You are good people. I am atheist but for once love that religion (or god) seemed to motivate you to adoption.
im crying so hard over his foster mom's love for him... you could see how hard it was for her to say goodbye! 💔🥺 at the same time it was so beautiful and precious to see Levi call David daddy!!
Never have I experienced so many emotions watching one clip. Thankful that he has new parents that will forever be in touch with his emotional needs. His foster mum loved him so much and I pray that she will never lose touch with his journey. Praying for you all. Thank you for sharing this touching adoption story. He is clearly turning into a daddy’s boy already. Bless you all 🙏🏽
Levi's foster mom is simply amazing. You could tell how much she loves and cares for him. Not once did she make anything about "herself", "how much she slept she got" or put her face on Levi's story. The foster mom is an Angel and yes, truly deserves all life's meaningful rewards. I could not imagine how difficult it was to watch that incredible little soul leave her life. 💔
What an adorable baby....he calls his new daddy and mommy "appa and umma" already... after meeting them for a short period of time. Soooo cute..i cried watching this. It's all meant to be...what a beautiful family.
As someone who’s binge watching korean series for years, i kinda feel i already understand the language. I like when David said it will be the last time Levi will be separated from his parents. May God bless your journey as a family
Lovely, lovely little boy, he’s already been through so much in his young life. You have a head start in the bonding process because you speak his language. You will be awesome parents.
Yes, it does seem to help. I feel for the babies whose parents only speak English and cannot help them transition by explaining, talking to, reading to etc..
@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 I'm a new subscriber. This is so beautiful. Hope to see the video if you going to take him back to Korea . Looking into it although I need to wait for 5 years. Take care and stay safe.
When he said appa and oma I literally cried. He’s at this age where he can talk and understands so much it’s wonderful he has you guys that speak his language 😭
Levi is such a beautiful blessing. My husband and I are in the middle of a Korean adoption and it was wonderful to see your journey with Levi. Thanks for sharing and wishing the family all the best!
I cried when David explained yes he feels pulled away from someone again but yes he will learn that that will be his forever home and all we want is to give our kids the best lives of it was so easy I would have done the same you guys have done but you have gave one more child a forever home and will teach from right and wrong and show him the love he deserves❤️bless you guys❤️
Love he can communicate with you guys right away it makes the transition so much easier for a child🙃 watched so many adoption videos where the kids are so so scared they can’t talk to the adoptive family. Wishing u guys endless happiness
Hurt my heart when he woke up crying that night, you know he just keeps wondering why his foster mom isn’t coming back for him. He’s going to have the best life with you guys but it’s a rough transition
This was so lovely but also so sad. The separation from his foster mum, who clearly loved him and had cared for him well, was heartbreaking but I was relieved he settled quickly. The nights were tough but that probably just really hissing his routine with foster mum. He’s a bright little boy and he will hopefully settle soon back in the US. Best of luck to you all.
As a Korean adoptee and new mommy myself, your story touched my heart and made me cry. It's so precious and I can see how much he is loved and how blessed he is to be adopted into your wonderful family. When he turns older he might have his questions or difficulties, but I'm sure you can help him overcome all obstacles together. I wish you all a very happy, bright future together. May god bless your family
I was also adopted, and I understand how Levi must have felt...My mum would tell me how I would cry every night asking to go back to my home and my Dad would carry me to calm me down before I fell asleep again. Don't worry Levi, Your Mum and Dad will shower you with abundant love and care that you will never forget and that will last a lifetime! I also hope to adopt as well one day and share the same love and care my parents gave me.
More please MORE!!!!!!!! I would love to see how he’s settling in and how he is interacting with the boys and hopefully bonding with you Ester I know it can be so hard all you wanna do is hug and love on them but they’re a little standoffish. But trust me you will get there I’m just so excited that he was able to find some immediate love and trust for your husband which should hopefully help him get through this first scary time for him. That is such a blessing and truly very impressed with how amazing his new daddy is with him. Also u guys are truly amazing and I am very happy that I found your channel but yes definitely give us more more more more!!!!!!! Stay Safe 🤗
Even I was thinking and feeling the same thing that he got separated from his parents twice -firstly abandoned by his biological parents and secondly separated from his foster mother. God bless you all. You are precious Boy. Very precious. Keep the good work and spread love beyond borders.
I found your channel by chance in my recommendations. I am trying to hold it together in the library so no one sees me crying at school. Levi is so blessed to have such wonderful parents to take over care from his foster Umma. God Bless your beautiful family!
Levi is a very lucky little boy. You can see what good people they are as they’re already so in tune with his emotions. In one of the happiest moments of their lives, the sadness felt by their boy is more important to them. The foster mom did a wonderful job with him as he is such a happy boy. Good people all around! That all kids could feel so much love from all.
We have completed two international adoptions, our children are now 18 and soon to be 19, our son is from Asia. Both are amazing and we have never had any of the usual problems with them growing up, it is wonderful to see you adopting from your homeland, I am sure for these children it will be a little easier during the anxiety and separation to be familiar with looks and language. Congratulations.
The empathy you have for Levi and his situation is so incredibly amazing. You didn’t know how hard your journey would be with him once you got him home, but you did understand that for him, this was a sad and scary situation. I’m so happy you have your son, the fact that you can empathize with him makes you wonderful parents!
I don't want to sound mean to the others but I've watched a lot of these adoption videos in the last few days and Levi has to be the sweetest, brightest, loveliest little one I've seen. I'm so glad that's gone to such a wonderful family too. He's so lucky to have such great parents.
This is an emotional vlog. I watched thousand times and tears every time. It's so bad feeling to think about Levi was separated for 2 times from physical family and foster family. That was so poor and heart broken. And Levi is so sweet but knew more than same age kids. Luckily Levi have you guys who loved him so much. And his foster mom did very good for Levi. God bless everyone. And your video is very meaningful. I am starting to think more about kids like Levi and I hope I can do more for these kid in the world.
He is the cutest little guy! His was so loved by his foster Mom and you were so sensitive to the sadness of their separation. You have a beautiful family - thank you for sharing this!
So nice you speak Korean! Think that would be a great comfort to him! My Korean daughter came at age seven, unfortunately forgot her Korean! She is now the most her of three grown college graduates. The time goes by to fast! It was such a blessing to raise her!
I love so much that Levi is your child. When you made the comments that you would go to your biological child and that Levi was your child - I just burst into tears. And then more tears when mommy and daddy grieved along with him being separated with his foster mom - oh how much you love that sweet boy !! I am praising God for your faithfulness and ask Him to bless you and your family as you begin this new adventure.
First of all: SO CUTE WHEN HE SAID MUM AND DAD MY HEART EXPLODED!! Came across your video just now! So heartbreaking but also so full of love. It must have been difficult the day you picked him up,for both of you and the foster mom. You are so wonderful! I wish you all the best for your family ❤️ Sending lots of love!!!
I bawled my eyes out watching this video. It was hard watching him part ways from his foster mother but I’m glad God chose you both as Levi’s forever. I wish you and your family nothing but eternal happiness, love and good health. God bless you all abundantly ♥️🌻✨
His Korean foster mom she looks so heavenly. She seems sad to let Levi go, but she knew it was all for the best for Levi. Don't worry, Levi is in good hands. God is watching over Levi. ❤️❤️❤️
Levi is such a smart boy, and it’s obvious he was being raised by a beautiful woman with a big big heart. Looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful family of 5. Much love to all of you.
I too am korean, and this makes me so happy that this beautiful korean baby will get to grow up with amazing korean american parents and will be taught both korean and american cultures and not love touch to his heritage!!
Yes, and we will continue to teach him Korean at home so one day when he meets his birth family he can communicate and build relationship with them without a translator
So many love lessons you are sharing with all of us!!!! The love between Levi and his foster mom The love between you as a couple The love for your biological children The love for your adopted son (I loved how David asks himself what would happen if one of your biological kids were stuck during a pandemia in Korea. He said you would be risking your lives to rescue them. And that's why COVID-19 didn't stop you to go get levi. Its amazing how God sparked the bond a connection of little Levi and you both! God continues to bless you and your precious family. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful experiences.🙏
You could tell it was very hard for foster Mom to let him go...so touching. But there is a new life full of love and joy for Levi. I can see you have great hearts, and he is going to be very well taken care for. Levi is beautiful. God bless you all!!!💕
what a beautiful soul you guys have! How lucky Levi is that he could be a member of your family at the same time keeping his Korean language and all the cultures! I can not help watching this over and over and I wanna be like you guys! My best wishes to you and your family!
OH MY LORD... I cried a whole box of tissues 😭😭😭 I can’t imagine being the foster mom... it’s been hard for LEVI to part with the foster mom, too. Anyway, all the best to your beautiful family💗 Look forward to the updates of ur family!
Well done, guys. I know it is so hard for everyone, but what a sweet and happy little boy you are going to impact forever now. His foster mother obviously did an amazing job with him. Keep up that hard work. 💜
God will never leave your family alone for the whole life.... is the one of the best videos who makes feel proud as a person. Thanks to give this kid a chance of life
I cried hard watching this. God bless you two and may Levi and his brothers always be a source of joy and happiness in that beautiful Christian family of yours. Much much love and prayers from New Delhi
So happy for him but darn I cried ,that foster mom is amazing,please love him and protect his him,he's adorable and life is not always fair for all of us,I'm happy he found a soft home to land on ,blessing to all and God's willing Levi will adjust and grow up well.♥️
Aww I cried so hard when he first started calling his dad Appa. Aww you two are such lovely parents and Levi is so adorable. Although I am still a teen, this has really inspired me to look into adoption, and I thank you so much for sharing!
“He feels separation from his foster mom, and this is the second time that he has to be separated from a parent. But I wish he could understand that this will be the last time” my heart 😭😭♥️
this shows how lovely his new parents are
I cried like a baby hearing that part.
I cry a lot this part
So beautiful 😍
This was the most beautiful thing iv ever heard.
I cried when the foster mum got upset :( what a wonderful woman ♡
It’s nice to know he was so loved and in an environment of Faith!! Kinda made it harder though when she was saying “are you really leaving”.
So this is just so beautiful. I’ve been watching these stories for the last 24 hours. I have five kids. I’m glad I didn’t start adopting cuz knowing my heart is have way too many kids. No. I couldn’t give that many a good life but just the same. There’s something so perfectly right watching these people become parents to children they’ve chosen to love forever as their own.

A parent that loves with their whole heart is everything no matter how that child got there. This is just amazing.
@@tyreebruce couldn't agree more ♡♡
I am crying too, bless her heart for all that she did for that young boy
They foster these kids knowing they will leave but still it must be hard eveytime you have to let them go again
That woman,,the foster mum,deserves everything she wants in life!
I wonder if they send her video updates? 😘💛
I abt criedddd

Shows he can form attachments

Yes, we plan on taking him hopefully in the next 5 years and when all this covid crisis die down to meet up with her again.
@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 I'm a new subscriber. This is so beautiful. Hope to see the video if you going to take him back to Korea . Looking into it although I need to wait for 5 years. Take care and stay safe.
I cried when Levi said "Appa", he looks so happy he must have waited for this... Please take care of this baby , Both of you have a beautiful soul😍😍😍
16:16 he's just staring, then he suddenly leaped towards her, like he knew he found home.
When he said appa and oma I literally cried. He’s at this age where he can talk and understands so much it’s wonderful he has you guys that speak his language 😭
Levi is such a beautiful blessing. My husband and I are in the middle of a Korean adoption and it was wonderful to see your journey with Levi. Thanks for sharing and wishing the family all the best!
Thank you so much!
I hope one day he meets his foster mom again ❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽
The moment he said Appa my heart did a somersault and I can't imagine how you must have felt. What a beautiful memory
I cried when David explained yes he feels pulled away from someone again but yes he will learn that that will be his forever home and all we want is to give our kids the best lives of it was so easy I would have done the same you guys have done but you have gave one more child a forever home and will teach from right and wrong and show him the love he deserves❤️bless you guys❤️
Love he can communicate with you guys right away it makes the transition so much easier for a child🙃 watched so many adoption videos where the kids are so so scared they can’t talk to the adoptive family. Wishing u guys endless happiness
I know. They are so lucky to have him and so lucky to speak his language.
Hurt my heart when he woke up crying that night, you know he just keeps wondering why his foster mom isn’t coming back for him. He’s going to have the best life with you guys but it’s a rough transition
What a lovely little boy. Your whole family is precious. I can’t wait to see how Levi is settling in.
Thank you so much!
This was so lovely but also so sad. The separation from his foster mum, who clearly loved him and had cared for him well, was heartbreaking but I was relieved he settled quickly. The nights were tough but that probably just really hissing his routine with foster mum.
He’s a bright little boy and he will hopefully settle soon back in the US. Best of luck to you all.
As a Korean adoptee and new mommy myself, your story touched my heart and made me cry. It's so precious and I can see how much he is loved and how blessed he is to be adopted into your wonderful family. When he turns older he might have his questions or difficulties, but I'm sure you can help him overcome all obstacles together. I wish you all a very happy, bright future together. May god bless your family
I know how lucky is he to have two Korean speaking parents. So much easier for him to maintain his language and culture.
Being adopted from Korea as an infant it is interesting to watch as an adult! God bless! Prayers for safety and health! ❤️
I was also adopted, and I understand how Levi must have felt...My mum would tell me how I would cry every night asking to go back to my home and my Dad would carry me to calm me down before I fell asleep again. Don't worry Levi, Your Mum and Dad will shower you with abundant love and care that you will never forget and that will last a lifetime! I also hope to adopt as well one day and share the same love and care my parents gave me.
More please MORE!!!!!!!! I would love to see how he’s settling in and how he is interacting with the boys and hopefully bonding with you Ester I know it can be so hard all you wanna do is hug and love on them but they’re a little standoffish. But trust me you will get there I’m just so excited that he was able to find some immediate love and trust for your husband which should hopefully help him get through this first scary time for him. That is such a blessing and truly very impressed with how amazing his new daddy is with him. Also u guys are truly amazing and I am very happy that I found your channel but yes definitely give us more more more more!!!!!!! Stay Safe 🤗
Thank you so much in your interest and kind words. Our next episode is up now!
Even I was thinking and feeling the same thing that he got separated from his parents twice -firstly abandoned by his biological parents and secondly separated from his foster mother.
God bless you all.
You are precious Boy. Very precious.
Keep the good work and spread love beyond borders.
I think I've watched five times so far. Everything is so precious about this encounter. Yes! Keep us updated.
Thanks so much! Our next episode is now up!
And here I am surprised how instead of skimming through the video as I had planned I ended up watching every moment of it.
I found your channel by chance in my recommendations. I am trying to hold it together in the library so no one sees me crying at school. Levi is so blessed to have such wonderful parents to take over care from his foster Umma. God Bless your beautiful family!
That sleeping position though, so cute😂😂
You guys did a good job! Your reward in heaven is great. Levi's is in good hands. Amen
The foster mom has pretty much taught him every basics. May god bless her and I hope she gets to meet him again.
Levi is a very lucky little boy. You can see what good people they are as they’re already so in tune with his emotions. In one of the happiest moments of their lives, the sadness felt by their boy is more important to them. The foster mom did a wonderful job with him as he is such a happy boy. Good people all around! That all kids could feel so much love from all.
We have completed two international adoptions, our children are now 18 and soon to be 19, our son is from Asia. Both are amazing and we have never had any of the usual problems with them growing up, it is wonderful to see you adopting from your homeland, I am sure for these children it will be a little easier during the anxiety and separation to be familiar with looks and language. Congratulations.
what an amazing story! Thank you for sharing with us!
The empathy you have for Levi and his situation is so incredibly amazing. You didn’t know how hard your journey would be with him once you got him home, but you did understand that for him, this was a sad and scary situation. I’m so happy you have your son, the fact that you can empathize with him makes you wonderful parents!
I don't want to sound mean to the others but I've watched a lot of these adoption videos in the last few days and Levi has to be the sweetest, brightest, loveliest little one I've seen. I'm so glad that's gone to such a wonderful family too. He's so lucky to have such great parents.
This is an emotional vlog. I watched thousand times and tears every time. It's so bad feeling to think about Levi was separated for 2 times from physical family and foster family. That was so poor and heart broken. And Levi is so sweet but knew more than same age kids. Luckily Levi have you guys who loved him so much. And his foster mom did very good for Levi. God bless everyone. And your video is very meaningful. I am starting to think more about kids like Levi and I hope I can do more for these kid in the world.
The foster mother is a beautiful human. You could see the love that she has for Levi.
Levi is such a fluff ball ❤️❤️ cant wait to see him grow into his own beautiful personality 😭 thank you and God bless you for doing this.
He is the cutest little guy! His was so loved by his foster Mom and you were so sensitive to the sadness of their separation. You have a beautiful family - thank you for sharing this!
It helps a lot that both parents speaks Korean, what a beautiful family, Levi is for sure a daddies boy, so sweet.
So nice you speak Korean! Think that would be a great comfort to him! My Korean daughter came at age seven, unfortunately forgot her Korean! She is now the most her of three grown college graduates. The time goes by to fast! It was such a blessing to raise her!
I think I got diabetes when Levi gave David the flower and did that head bow.
His foster mother some how hold her tears. I pray he remains happy and blessed with his adopted Parents now... 🌷☘❣❣❣❣💜💛
When he said 아빠 without anyone prompting him, that made me so so happy for you guys :')
To all the wonderful foster moms who do their best with their foster children, my heart❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love so much that Levi is your child. When you made the comments that you would go to your biological child and that Levi was your child - I just burst into tears. And then more tears when mommy and daddy grieved along with him being separated with his foster mom - oh how much you love that sweet boy !! I am praising God for your faithfulness and ask Him to bless you and your family as you begin this new adventure.
thank you so much for your kind words!
First of all: SO CUTE WHEN HE SAID MUM AND DAD MY HEART EXPLODED!! Came across your video just now! So heartbreaking but also so full of love. It must have been difficult the day you picked him up,for both of you and the foster mom. You are so wonderful! I wish you all the best for your family ❤️ Sending lots of love!!!
I bawled my eyes out watching this video. It was hard watching him part ways from his foster mother but I’m glad God chose you both as Levi’s forever. I wish you and your family nothing but eternal happiness, love and good health. God bless you all abundantly ♥️🌻✨
His Korean foster mom she looks so heavenly. She seems sad to let Levi go, but she knew it was all for the best for Levi. Don't worry, Levi is in good hands. God is watching over Levi. ❤️❤️❤️
It's so nice! He will learn english and still be able to speak korean! He will have a wonderful family that loves him.
Levi is such a smart boy, and it’s obvious he was being raised by a beautiful woman with a big big heart. Looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful family of 5. Much love to all of you.
I too am korean, and this makes me so happy that this beautiful korean baby will get to grow up with amazing korean american parents and will be taught both korean and american cultures and not love touch to his heritage!!
Yes, and we will continue to teach him Korean at home so one day when he meets his birth family he can communicate and build relationship with them without a translator
Omg, that bye bye to his foster mom made me cry. Levi baby you have got a fantastic family now sweetheart. God bless!
Levi's is really cute and I felt quite emotional when he's separated from his foster mom
I remember huxel's story seeing this. I hope he is doing great somewhere where he is loved and accepted as Levi by his new family
That was so sweet to see, him sleeping in your arms. He is so cute. So precious. It made me cry.
I'm a 20 year old student ...I want to adopt a korean baby after 10 years when I get a job...Can't wait for it🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hoping one day you can do it good luck
So many love lessons you are sharing with all of us!!!!
The love between Levi and his foster mom
The love between you as a couple
The love for your biological children
The love for your adopted son (I loved how David asks himself what would happen if one of your biological kids were stuck during a pandemia in Korea. He said you would be risking your lives to rescue them. And that's why COVID-19 didn't stop you to go get levi.
Its amazing how God sparked the bond a connection of little Levi and you both!
God continues to bless you and your precious family.
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful experiences.🙏
You could tell it was very hard for foster Mom to let him go...so touching.
But there is a new life full of love and joy for Levi. I can see you have great hearts, and he is going to be very well taken care for. Levi is beautiful. God bless you all!!!💕
what a beautiful soul you guys have! How lucky Levi is that he could be a member of your family at the same time keeping his Korean language and all the cultures! I can not help watching this over and over and I wanna be like you guys! My best wishes to you and your family!
Wow, how beautiful. Congratulations, I can tell this boy is going to have a life filled with love and happiness!
OH MY LORD...
I cried a whole box of tissues 😭😭😭
I can’t imagine being the foster mom...
it’s been hard for LEVI to part with the foster mom, too.
Anyway, all the best to your beautiful family💗
Look forward to the updates of ur family!
Well done, guys. I know it is so hard for everyone, but what a sweet and happy little boy you are going to impact forever now. His foster mother obviously did an amazing job with him. Keep up that hard work. 💜
God will never leave your family alone for the whole life.... is the one of the best videos who makes feel proud as a person. Thanks to give this kid a chance of life

Aww I cried so hard when he first started calling his dad Appa. Aww you two are such lovely parents and Levi is so adorable. Although I am still a teen, this has really inspired me to look into adoption, and I thank you so much for sharing!
He’s so comforted by his Dad, it’s very sweet.
This is so emotional but your baby boy is very smart when you ask the body parts😍. Btw i subscribed. 😘
Thank you!
So smart
I cried when Levi said daddy. What a beautiful adoption story. I’m hoping Levi will always stay happy and healthy!
