    I gotta tell ya, I’ve been working with children for over 30 years. During those years, I paid very close attention to how my coworkers interacted with children. Some were “so-so”; and very few were actually genuinely good with children.
    After watching this video and seeing how you are with Tiger, I just want to tell you that you’re a genius, you’re a saint and I desperately wish there were millions of other moms, mentors, and teachers that were just like you.
    You are a true blessing!

      You're absolutely right. It's a beautiful thing whenever a person has the charitable heart to accept a needy child into their heart and home to offer that child(ren) every necessity for emotional, mental and physical endless happiness, contentment and love, with all they require throughout childhood and life. Whilst it's also very commendable for an individual(s) not to accept responsibilities and commitment for what they've not any abilities to fulfill when it comes to the needs of raising children. Patience are a unique gift that everyone isn't privy; however, I do believe they've the unique gifted ability to give in other ways that hold importance's just as wonderful and uniquely special as an adoptive parent. ❤️

    I've only seen a few tik tok videos and this entire time I thought that Tiger was the biological twin of one of the other kids, it was just genes being weird . I think it's because she looks a lot like her dad. Also at first I was like "what kind of name is Tiger??" then I realized all the kids have animal names and understood it was a cute way to keep the kids' privacy.

    • @annaf3915
      @annaf3915 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      But not what the child wants to hear. My foster son asked me: "When you were all grown up did you want to have a child, and then you found me? Was that what you always wanted?" I simplified things by saying yes, of course that's all I ever wanted and now I got it and another little baby as well. Which he sees as unneccessary, but that's another story to be told.
      I just don't like the "helping" part of the narrative. You have 1 or 2 or 5 children in your family, you decided to have them, biologicallly or through adoption, don't tell them they're just there because you're "helping" them.

    • @Audrey-xh5wv
      @Audrey-xh5wv 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      @annaf3915 thats a fair perspective. I interpreted the quote as putting the emphasis on the child's wellbeing and not on an adult's personal want for a child. (like prioritizing what the child needs and what the adult can provide, instead of the adult's personal family goals.) although I definitely agree that your response was very appropriate and ideal! it was the most compassionate for what he needed to hear

Seeing how you speak with your daughter who is an adoptee warms my heart so much. You're lighting the way for other parents who have or will adopt children. This is how mothers who have adopted their kids, speak with their kids about their adoption. The little girl in me, and the adult in me thank you.

      I was adopted by my sperm donor’s sister. She was literally the single mom, she never brought home a man, she raised her children and she raised her daughter’s son and her brother’s daughter, (me), and she did the best she could by us. I, now have temporary custody of my grandson, who was recently diagnosed with Autism. Both of his parents, ( his father is my son ), are drug addicts and there was domestic abuse and neglect in the home. My heart breaks for him everyday. Mothers like you and my mom are rare.

      Children need to be talked TO and not talked AT. There's a gigantic difference. When you look a child in the eyes as you have a conversation, it teaches them trust and it makes them feel valuable. When children talk to adults, they love it when we get down to their level and look them eye to eye to show that we are listening. These kids are so lucky.
