Those words say it all. How beautiful a gift a beautiful little girl to give and to entrust to a family. Your family is one I would like to grow up with your amazing
I went to a foster home just before I turned 15 I went to a boys ranch at 14 but it was funny I went for a visit Thanksgiving 1974 and after Thanksgiving weekend I was getting ready to go back to the boys ranch my foster mom came to my room she asked me if I loved it there I said yes she said then why are you packing I was puzzled she said everything has been taken care of, I was very lucky had the greatest foster parents a boy could have they were military and they were strict but very loving I still call them mom and dad they had three boys and a daughter they adopted and myself I lived with them until I joined the Army April 1976.🎉
My son was two when we brought him home. He had five homes before us. Trust for him was hard. We had to work hard for him to trust. He has autism, so high functioning . 37 years later he is amazing . He was non verbal til 5. The walk was amazing.
My late wife and I adopted four children after having four of our own. One was special needs that couldn’t even roll over. He had a five year life expectancy but lived to be 34. He passed away 10 months before wife of 58 years passed. Jesus has been my strength for the year and one half.
As an Australian I approve of the Bluey Themed birthday.... I'm also an adopted kid - well I'm 58 now but was adopted at 6 days old - I am so happy to see such a wonderful family she's now a part of
I’m in Texas and my friend fostered a baby from the day she was born , the mom wanted to sign rights over immediately but she still had to go through a process and it took 2 years until the baby was adopted. So many different stories with adoption ❤
Happy 2nd Birthday Olivia. 🎉 What a wonderful birthday celebration. Jessica and Bert you, both did an amazing job adopting her and what happy memories you, are making. Blessings 🙏💞 to you and your family.
I've been watching you guys for YEARS, way before Olivia was born and it's so clear seeing how much Livy has completed you guys! She's right where she's meant to be 🥰
It's heatrwarming to see how Livy just fits right in! It feels like she has been a part of your family forever. Her strawberry blonde hair fits right in with mom too.
When I saw birthday things being put together, I was thinking, it can't be Olivia, she can't be 2 yet! ...oh my goodness, she has been beautiful from day one, and now she is really coming into her own... Happy Birthday, Livy! God bless you, and your whole wonderful family! 💗🎂💗🧁💗🍩💗
I have been fostering 2 kiddos for over 4 years. The goal shifted from reunification to adoption over 2 years ago and we are at the final stages of adoption now. It is a very slow process where we live. I have loved following your family's story. Every adoption is so different and yet there is some sense of comradery over the similarities of experiences.
God placed Olivia with the perfect parents! Happy Birthday 🎂🎈Livi.🎉🎉When you pick her up and hold her imagine her doing the same for you. One of my daughters towers over me and she would pick me up and squeeze me until arthritis came upon me. She was not a planned baby but I couldn’t imagine my life without her in it. God knew exactly what I needed. ❤🙏✝️
So special!!🎉❤ It’s a special day for us to 5 years ago today we got custody of 2 of our grandchildren and in January will be 3 years since we adopted them . 🤍
Happy 2nd Birthday beautiful Olivia! Hard to believe it’s been 2 years since she completed your family! What a special blessing for all of you! Seems like it wasn’t that long ago that I was balling when you brought her home! You probably can’t imagine your life without your little princess! Loved when she said “sticky”! Love her story! ❤
I can't believe that Livy is already 2!! I remember watching the process of you guys getting her. Seeing the love that she has for you all is so wonderful. Just do me a favor and make sure that you celebrate her "gotcha day" (which is the day that your adoption was finalized), too, if you're going to be bringing up that she is adopted. This will reinforce just how special she is (not that the other three are not, but as someone who's adopted it makes a difference). Remember, one day, she will watch these videos. I know this is also helpful for those going through adoption processes themselves.
Happy Birthday sweet Olivia!!!🎉❤ The bittersweet side of adoption....just got word a week ago that my Biological Mom suddenly passed before I got to meet her. What a journey the grieving has been. I am not able to attend her celebration of life but I will be there in heart!!! ❤ My grandma and sisters are sending me some of her ashes as well. All that to say....God Bless yall for all the blessings and opportunities you are providing Olivia with ❤❤❤
This made me think of my nephew when he was an infant until about two and a half. I babysat for him every Friday night. My sister and brother in law went out on date night. He loved Thomas the train. And I still listen to the opening song LOL. He’s 19 now and in med school. It seems just yesterday he was a baby in my arms. I love babies hands. I would look at Ethans hands and wonder what they’re going to do someday. Those hands will be operating on peoples hearts. They grow up so fast. I watched your children grow up into the good kids they are now. I hope you keep vlogging so we can watch Livvi grow up.
I love how you make each one of your kids feel special by organizing these birthday festivities. Each and every one of your kids are extrelucky for having you as their parents. You should feel proud of yourselves.
Happy Belated Birthday Olivia!!! 🎉 You are one special little lady!! How can it be two years already that we met you for the first time. You have been a shining little light running around behind the scenes and sometimes the scene. It looks like you had an awesome day celebrating you with your special family. May the Lord bless you as you continue to grow into who He created you to be. 🎉
Happy 2nd Birthday Livy and thank you to the birth mom who gave her life and and gave her the best possible outcome you guys are amazing and such a inspiration god bless you all ❤
I’ve been a subscriber before the adoption of Livy & the journey that came with it. I just became a foster parent 3months ago to a baby girl & it’s been an honor. The call of having to ask if i could foster a child to getting her 4 days old & seeing how fast my 7 children adapt to it & instantly fall in love with our baby girl is amazing & priceless.😢❤ I love watching you’ll it inspires me. Happy Blessed Birthday Livy 🎂❣️🫶🏻
"Thank you for accepting her" said Bert... We love her, Bert!!! As much as we love Audrey, Evelyn, and Garrett!!! Olivia is very special in our hearts as well!!! Blessings❤
Happy Birthday! My daughter is about a month older than Liv. She was born early and weighed 1lb 8oz. She is a happy, thriving, almost 29lb, 2 year old now. I'm so happy they are both doing so well. Loved her little gasp when she saw the balloons. So cute! I hope my daughter wants a Bluey bday party next year. We are big Bluey fans, too!
Happy Happy birthday, I remember when your mama said, I'll take her and your dad said, Yea I could be a dad again!!!! I'm crying as I write this because your family has meant so much to me over the years!!!!! I love you all so much!!!! FyI you have brought me closer to God!!!!
Happy Birthday sweet girl!! She is just so cute and smart!! Christmas is going to be so much fun this year too as she is about the right age that she will start to understand. Maybe not completely the reason for the season yet but the joy of it and all the pretty lights and so on. Can't wait to continue to watch her grow!
I love you guys so much! You loving her the way you do heals my heart. Watching her journey has been magic! So much love to you all! Remember God moves in perfect ways...he knew you'd be the family she needed. ❤
Your children are a reflection of you ❤ you guys are a wonderful example of what love ❤️ is ….but than agin look at your parents ❤they thought you that ❤ keep it going ….blessings for you and your entire family 🙏🏻
This adoptive story was a joy to hear, thank you for your input on this subject. We can all learn from your experiences on raising Olivia. Happy Birthday girl, I can't believe it's been 2 years already and you are so full of life and energy.
Happy Birthday...bit late I know...cute and adorable girl🥰....thank you Somers family that you adopted Livy and give her a warm and loving family ❤❤❤best thing that could happen to her and you ...hold her tight and may the bond be everlasting and strong❤
My boys were 15 and 12 when I brought my adopted son home. They are now almost 18, 15 and 2.5 and it's been amazing. He is my best friend's nephew and had a rough start but he is doing great now. He was diagnosed with autism just before he turned 2 but has been in therapy for over a year now. He is such a blessing to my whole family and absolutely adores his big brothers and his cousins(who are also teens).
My Grandaughter who was 2 in July adores Bluey ,if she was allowed to watch Bluey on TV all day then she would. Her face when she’s watching an episode is amazing,full of smiles ,a beautiful thing to see. Happy birthday Olivia 😊
Thank you to Livy’s birth mom for choosing life and giving Livy the best life possible with such a beautiful and loving family ❤❤❤ God Bless you ❤
💯 ❤❤❤
IT'S a beautiful thing when it happens correctly ❤

You were so blessed as a teenager to find a strict but loving place to thrive. Thank you for your service
God bless your adoptive parents 🩷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
OMG, i teared right up reading your story. So wonderful.
Happy Birthday Livy can't believe you're already 2.
Happy Olivia. 🩷🩷. I watched her from the beginning. It is so wonderful how God put you all together. God's continued blessings!
💙♥️♥️♥️💙♥️
That baby girl is definitely right where God made her to be. She is a blessing! Hold her tight! Happy Birthday, Olivia!
It doesn't take blood to make a family, all you need is to love, and the family part just happens. 😊
Amen! Perfectly said!
My son was two when we brought him home. He had five homes before us. Trust for him was hard. We had to work hard for him to trust. He has autism, so high functioning . 37 years later he is amazing . He was non verbal til 5. The walk was amazing.
I don’t think a better family than yours exist. She’s a very blessed little girl.
My late wife and I adopted four children after having four of our own.
One was special needs that couldn’t even roll over.

Thank you for sharing that amazing experience
So polite of a 2 year old! We need more kids like her!!! It's obvious you're doing a great job and great parents!!
