I was adopted from Guatemala when I was a baby I'm 13 now, I don't know what I would do if I wasn't adopted Bc I have such an amazing family and I'm so happy God blessed me in so many ways I have such a good life God is amazing 🙏🏽
What an absolutely gut-wrenching story! You may not have carried her in your body, but you carried her in your heart and that is what brought her back to you. There is NOTHING stronger than a mother's love for her child and a mother and father are not always defined by blood. God knows our heart and always what is best. He also knew that being in your family would serve the best needs of that child. There are NO mistakes by God. He brought her into this world to serve your desire to be a mother. And now you can serve Him, by sharing your story and raising her to serve Him as well. Wishing all of you and abundance of God's beautiful blessings.
I have heard no greater testament to the joy that can be obtained from adoption than when Jada said she was glad the previous 7 years had brought no pregnancies (or then she would never have known Micah). WoW, such a power-filled statement.
Okay that totally messed me up. As a birth mom I could never have put someone through what Micah's birth mom did. There is never a day that I don't think about my son and it was really devastating in the beginning when I constantly second guessed my decision. What was always in my mind also was that I gave him up for a reason. That a higher power let me get pregnant at a time where I was unstable and unable to care for a child because someone else needed him in their life. He never really felt like he was meant for me. As a birth mother I am sorry you went through that. As a birth mother I am relieved it wasn't longlasting even though those 24 hours probably felt like years to you. As a birth mother I thank you for adopting that beautiful girl. This story will truly stay with me forever. Bless you and your family❤
I am so happy that you became a mother to Micah. I have blessed 3 families with their very own gotcha days. What I could give to the most deserving people in the world because they weren't blessed themselves naturally, I would never turn back time and undo. God bless.
+Jennifer Parsons Wow. There will never be words for your selfless act. I don't know how I could ever say thank you enough to our birth mom. You are so amazing. Thank you seems so not enough. but know you are a hero in my eyes..
Oh my word! I have NO IDEA how I came across this video but I am so glad I did. It truly touched my heart. God Bless your beautiful family. So thankful that we have a Heavenly Father who goes before us and has every moment of our lives perfectly orchestrated.
I was actually watching with tears in my eyes about a quarter into the video. Jada, you yourself, is such a precious woman (who couldn't just love you!) and I'm so happy to listen to your heartrending testimony.....your faith, your heartbreak, your strength, and your victory. This was just...again....precious! So precious.
What a beautiful story. I am in tears ! Firstly you are stunning and so is your family. With all the heartache, came an amazing blessing. May god continue to bless your beautiful family and bring you tons of joy and love :)
+SassyQ87 thank you for your kind words:) God Bless you and your family!!!! and thanks for watching. I don't post as much as I would like, but if you want to keep up with our family, subscribe up above. Something exciting coming in the next month!!!:)
I cried, cried again and then cried some more!!! soaked my pillow, loved the ending though. I almost had a panic attack thinking it was going to end when you gave Micah back. so happy for your beautiful family, faith in God's timing is a beautiful thing.
Gahhh!! Had me all choked up! I have a daughter (biological) and I can tell you love Micah just as much as I love my daughter. Amazing story. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless...
What a story, i cried the whole time.. I couldn't imaigne the feeling of a child being taken from you after bringing her home. Seeing the love for Micah you have makes me have hope for my own adoption in the future that i hope the lord grants me in the future, the ending of Micah being returned to you guys is hope. ❤️
Beautiful story! I love to see Gods beautiful works! This baby didn't come into this world through your belly, but GOD gave you this child via another's woman's belly. Micah was given to you by God just like any other woman's children are given. GOD is Awesome and I am so happy for your family!
I NEVER add comments on videos but honestly this video is soooo beautiful! I'm 20 years old in college and don't plan on having children anytime soon but I've really considered adopting before. I'm so inspired and in love with your story of your beautiful daughter and your fail miles story! God have truly blessed you and given you the true meaning of love through Micah. You can see it in your eyes and in your tears that you love her and it's so heart warming. I am praying for you and your family, and I wish you all the blessings and support in the world. You and your husband are truly amazing parents!
MichelleMarieeTV I've started watching this type of videos recently. I'm 17, but I'd love to adopt a child or more one day. A few days ago I read about a mother with 9-year-old daughter who doesn't feel anything for her child. I just can't understand. Even if it haden't been my child, I would have loved it after 9 years of living together.
I remember going with my sister and her husband on the day she adopted 3 children. it was such a wonderful day for them. congrats on adopting such a beautiful child. God Bless you and your family
That's what scares me the most about adoption. I'm so glad this baby has a family who loves her. All the time. With the good and the bad. God bless you all.
This was an awesome story, I nearly cried listening and feeling your pain of when you had to surrender her. God totally had a plan for you all along, Micah is incredibly blessed to have you for parents.
+oohlegz thank you for your kind words!!! YES, I so believe God timed everything out so perfect just so we would be ready for Micah. His timing is always perfect.
Beautiful story. It had me in tears. I too am going through the process of adoption. I don't know how I would survive such a scare. I told my agency to only match me with kids who parental rights have been revoked, so that I wouldn't risk the heart break of the child being taken away. I'm so very happy that your daughter remained with her true family :)
I can't believe you wished these curses on this birth mother. She gave you this child. Without her, Micah wouldn't be her. That's horrible, how you thought it was amazing that she had been prayed to be a holy terror. I just pray for that mother, all the hard decisions she had to make.
Wow, how can anyone watch this and not bawl their eyes out, I felt so much pain for you and your husband. Praise God that it all worked out in the end. Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
For those saying you are being harsh, they have no idea. Adoption is a hard and harsh thing. Those other videos you watch, don’t show you the lows. She was raw with you. This is the reality of adoption.
I live in Holland and have adopted my eldest son from Holland. I knew the birthmom could ask him back for a whole year and after a few days, the fear came and did not leave until that year was over. I could not imagine giving my son back. For me it was a reason to not adopt from my own country again.
Thank you for sharing your story. I do believe God has a plan and when things don't happen the way you think you want them to, it's because he has a plan and knows better:) I have also experienced having to be willing to give up what was most important to me and surrender to God's will, and only then got it back. You are so lucky to have your wonderful family, I wish you all the best and many, many more years of love and happiness and joy! God bless you all:)
this had me bawling! and omg what a beautiful little girl! that picture of the two of you in the mirror... cherish that. absolutely adorable i can just see the strong bond you two have xoxo
Wow. God has a plan and he will always watch over his children. I can't even imagine the pain you felt when you had to hand over your daughter. I cried thinking about it. I do not have children yet. I would love to adopt if God decides that is what I should do. I love children and to think about the number of little children and babies who don't receive a mother's love hurts my heart. Thank you for telling your story. You are a beautiful family.
Wow! This is such an Isaac story! Idk if you remember but, God told Isaac's father to sacrifice Isaac. He tied his son up and put him on the sacrifice table and lifted his axe. Then God's Angel told him to stop. God did that to test Isaac's parents' love not only for Him but their son too.
With respect... how can the same god be called all powerful and yet the implication be that had there not been leagues of others praying for this child to torture the birth mother, that she'd not have come back? Is not the sign of faithful servants to surrender to your god's path? The cognitive dissonance is just too much. Adoption is amazing and wonderful, but the laws protect birth mothers for good reason - the more christlike response would have been to offer compassion and love to her. I just don't know what to even think about this video. I am happy for Micah that she is happy and healthy.
I hate it when there is such a beautiful story and I can hardly hear what they are saying due to the loud music in the background. Please take this in mind when preparing the story.
I'm going through an agency that has a 4 day period, before the adoption is final after birth. Update: I'm not sure actually. This is all SO scary! I pray that IVF works for me....
This is an absolutely beautiful story. I cried and boohoo'd. And this seemed so bitter sweet that she had to be a "holy terror." But God takes us through hard times to get us to be where we need to be, even the little babies. This is completely off topic, and ignore me if this seems tacky asking this here, but where did you find your bedding and pillows? They are amazing and exactly what I have been looking for.
@Kimberly Park than you so much for your kind words. HA.. i notice stuff like that too.. The bedding is from West Elm and that pillow is actually from mexico, a little boutique in cabo. :)
Brooke Bello, am sorry if my comments were harsh or bad, I am a mother of three, I have a sister that never had children, but those words from her friends and families were harsh to. We don't know what is inside that birth mothers heart, when your pregnant you bond with a child, so for her to vent after giving birth it's reasonable, she needed time, and prayers to change, rather than such horrible words, send her a child naked, that's the child you wanted to be your, the child you never conceived, a child that was not in your belly for 9month, morning sickness, and all that pregnant women went thru. She was treated hardly because she changed her mind, because she's poor, you cannot buy a life with money
This was an independent adoption? I was advised to go through an agency to avoid adoption disruptions and have financial losses. I live in Massachusetts. I'm not sure how long the birth mother has. How horrifying.
adopting from orphanage home, and giving a child a gift of becoming a parent to that child is a big blessing, but hating a woman who have to make a big choice of a life, 9 month plus 30days, for her not to be.confused it's harsh, delete ya video, that child will hate.you when she knows what you did, a business of someone choosing you, for their big gift and you behave the way you did, ask God to tell if that was right
+ZombieMarvel210 Hi, great question.. Actually, her birth mom was nice enough to let us name her. We had heard the name right after we married in 1998 and had loved it and kept it for our first child, boy or girl.. It perfect for our Micah!!! :)
am sorry what you went thru, but ma question that I always ask myself, and people that adopt do you ever think about, the mother who made the child, the choice made by her within a moments of her fears, and the pain they go through, you even gave her her child with no cloth, when you were celebrated after that babyshower birth with ya family and friends did you ever think about that woman who gave you that child, what she might have been going thru? easy come, b4 30days you even prayed her all the curses, it's was a bad situation 4 both you guys and her to, I wish.you behaved different, remember the child.is always a 4th party where, they don't have to have a choice, sometimes some cases shows us how we as human beings are selfish, they try to find their real parents, some find them some don't. I wish if we.can allow both mothers or father's to be in this child's life for a short years, or even both fathers, so that the real mother has time to heal and know she made the right choice, as well as when this child grows never have feelings that those that made him and and kept him/her rather than aborting loved theme so much to gave them to the right parents at that moment. but no we are humans and selfish.
Jada never said they prayed that Micah would be bad for her. Other people sent her e-mails that said they prayed for that. As for the clothing... obviously Micah had clothes on at the drop off but why should they pack a bag for her if her birth mother felt like she could take care of her? The gifts from the baby shower were given to the Black Family for Micah. I am pretty sure that all adoptive moms realize how hard it is for a birth mother to give up a child since they have gone through infertility or miscarriages or stillbirths. I don't think that they take what the birth mother is feel lightly
+Brooke Bello Very eery for any christian to pray that What if out of frustration the inexperienced birth mom lashed out at the baby because that happened on the first night back with her. Could have been tragic
Juliet Katakanya. You do know there is such a thing as an open adoption, don't you? Thats where the biological parents are part of the childs life! Don't be too hard on the adoptive mother because her attorney gave her bad advice! But pray that the child has a wonderful life with parents that love her! God bless!
i wish i could find them my name is Alexandria Beasley and i wish i meet them my b day is Jan-31 2005 PLS if you know something about them PLS tell mee thanks
Alexandria Beasley when you are older, search your birth parents last names, and place of births, you can do this on a family tree website, if you know their last names.. you can always contact the adoption agency you came from and ask them who they are once you turn 18.. I wish the best for you, and I pray warmth love and light to you 💛
For you guys everything is business even a life of a child is business, but that's your culture, money is more important to you, but remember you won't buy love and the truth.
I have never commented on one of these videos before, but I am trying hard to understand what this was posted for. As an adoptee AND adoptive mother, I found it profoundly disturbing. To anyone who may watch this who is thinking about placing a child for adoption, please know we are not all like this. To send her off without even a blanket because a lawyer told you to? What kind of mother would do that? And the total lack of any compassion for the birth mother - who, by the way, is the source of many of the qualities you find so endearing about your daughter - how very sad and small. I am sorry I saw this. There are so many positive adoption stories out there - this is not one of them.
@Barbara I'm sorry that you feel this isn't a positive adoption story. This is what happens when somebody is raw and puts their story out there, always going to be somebody that doesn't agree, etc. I'm fine with that, but just know that I didn't put all the story out there. There are things I chose to now say about the birth mom and some of what she did to us because she was in an unthinkable situation. You don't know what you would have done until you walked in our shoes. I pray that on nobody. You mentioned that you are trying to understand what this video was posted for. Let me tell you. The most obvious reason is because its a testimony of the power of prayer. and I'm not referring to people praying she would be a "holy terror" , we didn't ask that. We wanted our daughter to be where God intended her to be for HIs glory. I remember praying, "God, maybe she'll be the one that tells her birth mom about you and your love and their life will be forever changed." that was my heart as much as it hurt to pray that. But God ended up giving us the desires of our heart just like He says he will in His word. We are forever grateful to our birth mom. Always and forever. God Bless
Somebody can be 'raw' 'put their story out there' and still have compassion. Praying for the child to be 'a holy terror' so the birth mom will have a terrible time is purely selfish, and hasn't got anything to do with the well being of the child. If you wanted to pray, you should have prayed that your child be happy with her birth mom, and not that she suffer until she meets you again. I hope you will show more compassion for Micah as she grows and when she differs from your beliefs and does things you don't agree with. Please, please love her unconditionally and please never wish badly on her again.
I completely agree. The lack of compassion for the birth mother is astounding. It doesn't matter how many previous pregnancies the woman had or how many children she had given up, she still had a right to parent the child if she wanted to.
As much as I understand the reaction of your family and friends (they love you, after all, and want to support you), it strikes me as really mean to roll up in a huge mob for turning Micah over to her biological mother. It's hard for the baby, it's hard for the biological mother, and it's hard for the prospective adoptive parents; that doesn't need an audience. And wishing and praying that she would be a "holy terror"? In order to be that, she would have had to be terrified and miserable; that's nothing to pray for. It sounds really unloving. I'm sure it wasn't meant that way, but it's really disturbing to hear. Also, I wouldn't credit any gods with you getting to adopt Micah. Your attorney told you to send Micah with nothing precisely to make it harder on the biological mother. Even though she might still have struggled and decided against parenting, it was consciously setting her up for failure. If she had had proper support, she might have made a great parent. It goes to show, for me, that the US desperately needs better mental health services and better support for parents so that they can have everything that they need. No child should have to suffer for even a single night just because an attorney wants their paycheck.
I was also very disturbed at this mob mentality. We don't know the birth mother's life story and the circumstances that led to her having to relinquish her child/children. Praying for a child of God to be a 'holy terror' is very unchristian in my mind.
I was adopted from Guatemala when I was a baby I'm 13 now, I don't know what I would do if I wasn't adopted Bc I have such an amazing family and I'm so happy God blessed me in so many ways I have such a good life God is amazing 🙏🏽
What an absolutely gut-wrenching story! You may not have carried her in your body, but you carried her in your heart and that is what brought her back to you. There is NOTHING stronger than a mother's love for her child and a mother and father are not always defined by blood. God knows our heart and always what is best. He also knew that being in your family would serve the best needs of that child. There are NO mistakes by God. He brought her into this world to serve your desire to be a mother. And now you can serve Him, by sharing your story and raising her to serve Him as well. Wishing all of you and abundance of God's beautiful blessings.

I know she's adopted, but somehow she has her father's eyes.
So beautiful.

Beautiful story! I love to see Gods beautiful works! This baby didn't come into this world through your belly, but GOD gave you this child via another's woman's belly. Micah was given to you by God just like any other woman's children are given. GOD is Awesome and I am so happy for your family!
Wonderful question. "Do I want to be pregnant? Or do I want to be a Mom?" Touch my heart. Thank you
Lord bless you with your wonderful family !!😊😊

+MichelleMarieeTV Those are such kind words. Thank you very much!
MichelleMarieeTV I've started watching this type of videos recently. I'm 17, but I'd love to adopt a child or more one day.
A few days ago I read about a mother with 9-year-old daughter who doesn't feel anything for her child. I just can't understand. Even if it haden't been my child, I would have loved it after 9 years of living together.
I remember going with my sister and her husband on the day she adopted 3 children. it was such a wonderful day for them. congrats on adopting such a beautiful child. God Bless you and your family
Thank you for sharing her story. I know what gotcha day is. Mine is in january. I am 27 years old.
it is awesome I am so thankful to have this family I have now
You are amazing for telling your story. This is beautiful. Thank you
That's what scares me the most about adoption. I'm so glad this baby has a family who loves her. All the time. With the good and the bad. God bless you all.
This was an awesome story, I nearly cried listening and feeling your pain of when you had to surrender her. God totally had a plan for you all along, Micah is incredibly blessed to have you for parents.
Your story is such a blessing! Thank you for sharing! God had an amazing blessing in your family!

For those saying you are being harsh, they have no idea. Adoption is a hard and harsh thing. Those other videos you watch, don’t show you the lows. She was raw with you. This is the reality of adoption.

This is amazing. Your family is beautiful. Much love x

I cried so much .. So inspiring.
Wow. God has a plan and he will always watch over his children. I can't even imagine the pain you felt when you had to hand over your daughter. I cried thinking about it. I do not have children yet. I would love to adopt if God decides that is what I should do. I love children and to think about the number of little children and babies who don't receive a mother's love hurts my heart. Thank you for telling your story. You are a beautiful family.
Beautiful! I loved every second

God bless you and your family!
I'm moved beyond words
Micah has such a calling!
Amazing story God bless you guys!
So you just gave me faith ❤
Amen to a beautiful family
Wow! This is such an Isaac story! Idk if you remember but, God told Isaac's father to sacrifice Isaac. He tied his son up and put him on the sacrifice table and lifted his axe. Then God's Angel told him to stop. God did that to test Isaac's parents' love not only for Him but their son too.
+Hannah Rose I would have stood firmly between God and my son, fists raised. In my opinion, Abraham failed that test pitifully...
+Krikit It wasn't a test of Abraham's love for his son. It was a test of his loyalty to God.
+Hannah Rose I mean, think about it. Abe knew God really well. He probably knew that God was going to intervene in some way.
Hannah Rose Regardless of what he "probably" knew, he DEFINITELY knew that God was asking him to do something evil, and should have refused.
SO touching! Amazing story
Oh my gosh how old are you? You look so young and radiant! You can't be over 25!!
+Cashie〈3 oh my word... awww thanks.. I'm 38!!!!! hA.. creeping to 40!!!!
I cannot love this enough.
this is so beautiful thank you for telling your story
With respect... how can the same god be called all powerful and yet the implication be that had there not been leagues of others praying for this child to torture the birth mother, that she'd not have come back? Is not the sign of faithful servants to surrender to your god's path? The cognitive dissonance is just too much. Adoption is amazing and wonderful, but the laws protect birth mothers for good reason - the more christlike response would have been to offer compassion and love to her. I just don't know what to even think about this video. I am happy for Micah that she is happy and healthy.
I hate it when there is such a beautiful story and I can hardly hear what they are
saying due to the loud music in the background.
Please take this in mind when preparing the story.
My sisters and brothers are adopted from Kenya
Wow a amazing story I almost cried wow😭😭
I'm going through an agency that has a 4 day period, before the adoption is final after birth. Update: I'm not sure actually. This is all SO scary! I pray that IVF works for me....
i was adopted when i was 10 month old and i was like what i didi not even no and im a 11 years old
This is an absolutely beautiful story. I cried and boohoo'd. And this seemed so bitter sweet that she had to be a "holy terror." But God takes us through hard times to get us to be where we need to be, even the little babies.
This is completely off topic, and ignore me if this seems tacky asking this here, but where did you find your bedding and pillows? They are amazing and exactly what I have been looking for.
@Kimberly Park than you so much for your kind words. HA.. i notice stuff like that too.. The bedding is from West Elm and that pillow is actually from mexico, a little boutique in cabo. :)
Brooke Bello, am sorry if my comments were harsh or bad, I am a mother of three, I have a sister that never had children, but those words from her friends and families were harsh to. We don't know what is inside that birth mothers heart, when your pregnant you bond with a child, so for her to vent after giving birth it's reasonable, she needed time, and prayers to change, rather than such horrible words, send her a child naked, that's the child you wanted to be your, the child you never conceived, a child that was not in your belly for 9month, morning sickness, and all that pregnant women went thru. She was treated hardly because she changed her mind, because she's poor, you cannot buy a life with money
I noticed the harsh attitude towards the birth mother too and who the heck brings everybody to a drop off! That just floored me!
may . god bless
These adoptions where birth mother is known, almost never work out well. The only thing worse is when the desperate couple befriend the birth mother.
God bless u r family
+silvana jederian Thank you so much.
This was an independent adoption? I was advised to go through an agency to avoid adoption disruptions and have financial losses. I live in Massachusetts. I'm not sure how long the birth mother has. How horrifying.
adopting from orphanage home, and giving a child a gift of becoming a parent to that child is a big blessing, but hating a woman who have to make a big choice of a life, 9 month plus 30days, for her not to be.confused it's harsh, delete ya video, that child will hate.you when she knows what you did, a business of someone choosing you, for their big gift and you behave the way you did, ask God to tell if that was right
WHAT IS ALL OVER YOUR BED?
Lmaooo
I was just wondering if you chose Micah's name or if the birth mom chose it.
+ZombieMarvel210 Hi, great question.. Actually, her birth mom was nice enough to let us name her. We had heard the name right after we married in 1998 and had loved it and kept it for our first child, boy or girl.. It perfect for our Micah!!! :)
am sorry what you went thru, but ma question that I always ask myself, and people that adopt do you ever think about, the mother who made the child, the choice made by her within a moments of her fears, and the pain they go through, you even gave her her child with no cloth, when you were celebrated after that babyshower birth with ya family and friends did you ever think about that woman who gave you that child, what she might have been going thru? easy come, b4 30days you even prayed her all the curses, it's was a bad situation 4 both you guys and her to, I wish.you behaved different, remember the child.is always a 4th party where, they don't have to have a choice, sometimes some cases shows us how we as human beings are selfish, they try to find their real parents, some find them some don't. I wish if we.can allow both mothers or father's to be in this child's life for a short years, or even both fathers, so that the real mother has time to heal and know she made the right choice, as well as when this child grows never have feelings that those that made him and and kept him/her rather than aborting loved theme so much to gave them to the right parents at that moment. but no we are humans and selfish.
Jada never said they prayed that Micah would be bad for her. Other people sent her e-mails that said they prayed for that. As for the clothing... obviously Micah had clothes on at the drop off but why should they pack a bag for her if her birth mother felt like she could take care of her? The gifts from the baby shower were given to the Black Family for Micah.
I am pretty sure that all adoptive moms realize how hard it is for a birth mother to give up a child since they have gone through infertility or miscarriages or stillbirths. I don't think that they take what the birth mother is feel lightly
*feeling
+Brooke Bello Very eery for any christian to pray that
What if out of frustration the inexperienced birth mom lashed out at the baby because that happened on the first night back with her.
Could have been tragic
Juliet Katakanya. You do know there is such a thing as an open adoption, don't you? Thats where the biological parents are part of the childs life! Don't be too hard on the adoptive mother because her attorney gave her bad advice! But pray that the child has a wonderful life with parents that love her! God bless!
i wish i could find them my name is Alexandria Beasley and i wish i meet them my b day is Jan-31 2005 PLS if you know something about them PLS tell mee thanks
Alexandria Beasley when you are older, search your birth parents last names, and place of births, you can do this on a family tree website, if you know their last names.. you can always contact the adoption agency you came from and ask them who they are once you turn 18.. I wish the best for you, and I pray warmth love and light to you 💛
For you guys everything is business even a life of a child is business, but that's your culture, money is more important to you, but remember you won't buy love and the truth.
i want to adopt.how do i go about this? when,because of my skin color,i can't buy or rent a house.
who can help me adopt a lot of females,please?
Music is too loud!
Background music on this video is so loud and annoying
How old is she? Micha I mean
She should be around 11 now
I have never commented on one of these videos before, but I am trying hard to understand what this was posted for. As an adoptee AND adoptive mother, I found it profoundly disturbing. To anyone who may watch this who is thinking about placing a child for adoption, please know we are not all like this. To send her off without even a blanket because a lawyer told you to? What kind of mother would do that? And the total lack of any compassion for the birth mother - who, by the way, is the source of many of the qualities you find so endearing about your daughter - how very sad and small. I am sorry I saw this. There are so many positive adoption stories out there - this is not one of them.
@Barbara I'm sorry that you feel this isn't a positive adoption story. This is what happens when somebody is raw and puts their story out there, always going to be somebody that doesn't agree, etc. I'm fine with that, but just know that I didn't put all the story out there. There are things I chose to now say about the birth mom and some of what she did to us because she was in an unthinkable situation. You don't know what you would have done until you walked in our shoes. I pray that on nobody. You mentioned that you are trying to understand what this video was posted for. Let me tell you. The most obvious reason is because its a testimony of the power of prayer. and I'm not referring to people praying she would be a "holy terror" , we didn't ask that. We wanted our daughter to be where God intended her to be for HIs glory. I remember praying, "God, maybe she'll be the one that tells her birth mom about you and your love and their life will be forever changed." that was my heart as much as it hurt to pray that. But God ended up giving us the desires of our heart just like He says he will in His word. We are forever grateful to our birth mom. Always and forever. God Bless
Thank you so much for your sweet words!!! God Bless you girl!!
It's not that deep fam
Somebody can be 'raw' 'put their story out there' and still have compassion. Praying for the child to be 'a holy terror' so the birth mom will have a terrible time is purely selfish, and hasn't got anything to do with the well being of the child. If you wanted to pray, you should have prayed that your child be happy with her birth mom, and not that she suffer until she meets you again.
I hope you will show more compassion for Micah as she grows and when she differs from your beliefs and does things you don't agree with. Please, please love her unconditionally and please never wish badly on her again.
I completely agree. The lack of compassion for the birth mother is astounding. It doesn't matter how many previous pregnancies the woman had or how many children she had given up, she still had a right to parent the child if she wanted to.
As much as I understand the reaction of your family and friends (they love you, after all, and want to support you), it strikes me as really mean to roll up in a huge mob for turning Micah over to her biological mother. It's hard for the baby, it's hard for the biological mother, and it's hard for the prospective adoptive parents; that doesn't need an audience.
And wishing and praying that she would be a "holy terror"? In order to be that, she would have had to be terrified and miserable; that's nothing to pray for. It sounds really unloving. I'm sure it wasn't meant that way, but it's really disturbing to hear.
Also, I wouldn't credit any gods with you getting to adopt Micah. Your attorney told you to send Micah with nothing precisely to make it harder on the biological mother. Even though she might still have struggled and decided against parenting, it was consciously setting her up for failure. If she had had proper support, she might have made a great parent.
It goes to show, for me, that the US desperately needs better mental health services and better support for parents so that they can have everything that they need. No child should have to suffer for even a single night just because an attorney wants their paycheck.
I was also very disturbed at this mob mentality. We don't know the birth mother's life story and the circumstances that led to her having to relinquish her child/children. Praying for a child of God to be a 'holy terror' is very unchristian in my mind.
I guess people cannot, according to you, support the adoptive family. You are heartless.
@@user-gk-y8t it is also UnChristian to wish ill on the adoptive family.
@@user-gk-y8t You have no compassion for the adoptive family.
@@user-gk-y8t I am disturbed by your lack of compassion for their friends. I suppose you can't support the adoptive parents.
Just a woman talking, not a gotcha moment. Title diseving to us that like watching the gotcha days
