- November is national adoption month, so I wanted to share our families adoptionjourney.
I am truly humbled by all that God has given me especially my eight children. I have some great children and I’m so proud of how they’ve grown up and how hard they work.
I’m very thankful that our seven children that we adopted for their family support for me and my husband and raising our children. I’m very thankful that they also brought us in to their home and call us family. Their birth families are amazing and they have done so much to be a support for our kids and for us.

I'll tell you what, if you were the mother of everyone on this planet, the world would be an amazing place, thats for sure.
It just dawned on me that maybe some day your children will adopt children and continue on your family tradition.😊
Wow!!! Great story… and you deserve it!!! ❤❤❤
Hope they do gods purpose
GOD bless you and your family
😊😊@@AlabamaT
The world needs more of you and your husband.♥️🇨🇦♥️
Every time I hear you say Hailey just wanted a big family, to live on a farm and go to church I cry 🥹 what a blessing to be able to provide that!!! You guys are such a beautiful family!
My husband adopted my daughters from a previous marriage. We also adopted our son together after being empty nesters for 15 years. We are so blessed to have them. They make me who I am today.
You and your family are amazing people! Love watching your videos! Blessings to all of you.
God placed all of these children in your family, what a blessing!
I agree with the open adoption. It helps with the healing process. Shalom 🕊
I think the Bells adoption story is going to benefit many people. Thank you for sharing! We need more of this kindness in this world ❤
Heather , you and your husband have done a wonderful job, with the kids. God bless you and your family.
I have five adopted kids, with one that died of cancer. God bless me to have my daughter who passed for 12 years. My kids overtime told me that they weren’t adopted but they are plain and simple my children who have The same blood as their dad, because in many ways, the things that makes it similar to their dad changed their blood to become my own as their dad and them as their children. Even though I am Mexican and they are Caucasian when people ask how we are one of different Their natural parents races. My children respond by saying they are 100% Mexican because they were raised that way. even though I made sure that they knew what the original culture they were. My kids did not forget their culture, but they tell me they are more Mexican than I am, because I don’t speak Spanish, etc.. I cannot help bring their Biological families into their lives, because they came in the most horrific circumstances. Every time I see the Bell family, I don’t see them as an adopted family, but as the family of the same blood, because every Day The very simplest of things they do for their kids and the kids do for their mom and dad, I believe That their blood has changed, and now they are plain and simple, a regular family and not an adopted family. The thing that I love most about your family is watching the kids, joking with each other and getting angry at each other and doing things for each other without even asking the task to be done no more than one time. Bravo,😅🎉 The Bell family for showing the other families on TH-cam. How a real family with adopted kids to truly be an original family. I have a question to ask. Would you consider adopting again?
I would 😊
I asked that same question!😊
Mama Bell, your stories are great, and it helps that you tell the stories well. On another note, I was born in 1970, and back then we recycled our gift boxes. One year I received a snowman gift box designed exactly like your shirt you are wearing. Even the colors being in the same pattern and Frosty's smile being the same way. We used it for many years before it finally wore out. Thank you for bringing back the memory. Happy holidays Bell family!
My husband and I raised 3 of our 5 grandkids and when our granddaughter, Angel, went to college, she told us we needed to become CASA reps. That was the most fulfilling thing we've ever done and our CASA kids would call us their "Meme and Pawpaw".
In 2020 we had to quit because of our health but we really enjoyed and still see our "adopted" grandkids.
The way you did about putting out their story, you did it right. You talk to them you ask them you are allowed them to think about it and most of all you didn’t take advantage over the fact that they were adopted in order to make money. Your husband and you are still working their businesses and showing the kids how work should be done, instead of taking it vantage with TH-cam, and their husbands, quitting their jobs because they are making money off the backs of your children. When you make videos, you show the real bells especially when you go shopping and Isabel and Noah are teasing Woodbeach other or Isabell and her sister mad at each other because they were either having a bad day etc. and not showing your children, as always been happy all the time and showing their smiles all the time, as if they were the Stepford wives, etc. you show us your true family. As for your husband and yourself, you guys have shown what the value of hard work truly is. As a result, your children know what the value of hard work is, and as a result know The rewards of this philosophy. Your kids aren’t sitting around thinking that by doing TH-cam is going to make you rich because that is the only thing the kids have TH-camrs I think that is the only way To get rich.
Thank you so much
God bless you, Mrs. Heather, for opening up your arms and your heart and your home for these sweet babies. Gideon was your miracle baby. You're the cutest, sweetest family ever!!!!! ❤❤
Unlike the dd where lush said she tries to treat the adopted kids the same as her biological...
No doubt the bond a biological child and the parents have a special bond. Just like biological siblings but you all still have the love to love them as if they were your biological kids
@@loveislove-le5njyes 🙌🏻 Lush does it ALL WRONG !!!! Which is why I unsubscribed longggg ago! But Miss Bell has always seemed to treat every single one of her children with the same amount of love and respect! She’s not more worried about the content and you can tell her children ARE NOT FORCED!
Plus, she makes sure she cooks healthier foods & just is an all around great mom/person to watch.
OH! & also she had that eye opening moment about 7 months ago, and decided to take down videos that her kids didn’t like or didn’t wanna be in and now only lets them be in the video if they choose to be!
Mr.Bell is a keeper!! Regular men come how with a dozen roses.. Not Mr.Bell he brings the whole freakin bush!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 DO NOT let that man go!!! Lol You have an amazing family and thanks for sharing hun!! 😊
That's enough now... I'm so kidding I'm bawling like a baby. Your story is so special .. Blessings to you and yours from me and mine !!!
It takes special people to do open adoptions. I think it’s a beautiful thing to allow the birth parents and family still be involved. You can never have too much love.
Every story is beautiful. I loved hearing about y'alls adoption story. Y'alls kids are blessed to have y'all.
Especially not going into details of their past. Like why parental rights were terminated or whatever the reason for the adoption.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, touching story. When God is in your story, He makes all things beautiful 🙏🏻✝️😊
What a beautiful story and family.
Heather your family are lovely & I love watching your videos. It’s such a special thing you have done. You can see the amount of love your family have for each other.
You & Luke are fantastic parents. I have 7 children & they have all shaped me into the person I am today.
Much love to you all from the UK xx
Loved your video.
Former foster mom. I was blessed to adopt my oldest from foster care, as a single person. Later I was blessed again with having a boy with my husband.
I always say that one of my boys grew in my heart, and one just below my heart. Can not imagine not having either one.
Heather, Father God has blessed you with a handsome and beautiful family, so don't feel so unworthy of anything and i think that you do yourself and family very well. thank you for everything that you share with all of us. i am from a very loving family, my mom raised us with all of her hearty and we too came out pretty darned good. so kudos to you
Love that you were willing to allow for an open adoption.
Heather thank you so much you and Luke are very special people for what you have done for them an can tell the love is there for them and that you have a very loving and caring family God bless each and everyone of you this is why I love your channel God bless you Heather ☺️🥰
You are a very very special person.
There are angels that walk among us and you are one of them.
Your story made me cry. You are a very special lady. ❤
Thank you for sharing their stories 💞
Such a sweet story I shed a few tears my self god is so good 😘
I just love you Heather. Your a beautiful person, wife and momma. May God keep on blessing you all.
Thank you for sharing your family's story, I know that you have shared it here and there but I never tire of listening of it. It's so heartening to hear that your kids want to foster and adopt too. God bless you all, and the biological families too! :)
You are amazing Heather!! And you did and are still doing an awesome job raising the kids and being the best mom ever. May God bless you ❤❤
Such a beautiful story! You made me cry! We love you guys ❤
Heather...you are an awesome Mother and those kids are so, so lucky to have you and hubby in their lives!!!
In a world where you can be anything, Be Kind. Heather, You and Luke have certainly taken that saying to heart! God Bless you all!! Love your channel!
You are a blessing to your family and so many others. Ive watched your video's and always wondered how does she do so much, obviously you have the patience of Job. May God continue to let your light shine.Thank you Heather
Mr. & Mrs Bell I truly believe this was Gods plan 🙏🏼 I’ve said it before that your paths crossed for a reason 🙏🏼🤍 Even when I watch your videos which I love btw 🥰 I never think these are their” adopted kids “ I just see a big happy family! Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏼🤍🤍🫶🏼
As long as the biological family can respect boundaries. Having an open adoption is a great option!
With 2 out of the house. Could you foster again if you and your husband wanted?
We can
@@Justthebells10 that's great. I can relate to adoption in that my biological cousin found us on 23 and me back in 2019 and turns out we went to the same high school!! She was class of 06 and I was 08 and turns out we had the same lunch period. Sat on different sides of the cafeteria
What a wonderful story! So great to know there are such kind people like you in the world.
Heather you had me in tears, in a good way. I'm so glad that you were able to adopt, Noah,Brendon, and Robert. Some people would only !opt one or maybe 2. All your kids are soooooo lucky. And so are you and Luke!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
And Gideon is so lucky he's not a single child. Having siblings is a good thing!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
I'm one of 7 kids...
You should show pictures when you tell your story so we can see what they looked like then.
That’s a great idea
Beautiful story to know how you became Bell 10❤️❤️
What an amazing story . Great kids, you're blessed to have them . Just like their blessed to have you . Heather I love the snowman sweater. Where did you fine it at . It's cool?
I’m not sure where I got it 😊
What a beautiful family that are meant to be together, thank you for sharing.
What is beautiful story, God blessed you and your husband with those children, your awesome family is amazing and thank you for sharing your family with us!❤❤❤❤❤
thanks for sharing your stories Heather! we have a large family, which includes 8 adopted children, (sibling group of 3, single adoption and kinship sibling group of 4) sadly some of the kids' birth parents are either absent, unidentified or addicts and not the safest for them to be exposed to. we try our hardest but most of them don't have relationships with biological family. But our family is big as it is and they are accepted and loved just the same!
You both are great parents. You are very loving Godly people to bring in all these children. God bless you all.
I just want to love your neck!! (Southern expression for "hug you"!!) You are such a wonderful, beautiful, caring soul!! Your children are so very fortunate to have you and your hubby as parents!!! I just appreciate you so very much!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story of your family!! Big ol hugs and love from MamaJane in South Carolina
🌻💙What a beautiful feel good story , you guy's has a heart of gold & lot's of LOVE to share may God continue on Blessing your beautiful big FAMILY💙🙏❤🙏🌻
Both you and the children are the luckiest people. To share love and memories of a lifetime with each other and us. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤
I never heard your story before so, this really helps. Thanks for being GREAT parents to all of them. I was never adopted myself & went through abusive families from birth to 18 yrs. The families just wanted the money every month & it took a toll on me. You & your Husband actually love each child & they felt it. I was never loved & they never helped me with school work so I dropped out! I have 2 adult almost perfect kids & grandkids who I love soooooo much! I broke the chain of never being loved, and I tell my babies 50 times a day that I LOVE YOU! I'm still crazy tho..lol keep them always & never stop loving each child/young adults ever! God has bless you.
I love how much love you show to the world and your family.
Heather, as a adopted child myself, I wish I would have had you as my Mom. I lost my biological parents at a age when it was so difficult to understand. My mom had psychological problems and tried to kill herself, my dad was a older gentleman that the state didn't feel could take care of four children, which started my foster care journey. My parents were my whole world, especially my dad and brother. We buried my dad when I was 14yrs and he was 88yrs old. Our parents wanted to adopt my brother, and he said that we were a packaged deal, and we wanted our other sisters also in the family. My youngest sister came to live with us, but our older sister said we were betraying our family and moved away, but the three of us were adopted. Make a long story short, my parents adopted another sibling group of three brothers and than two single boys, so we're a family of ten also. So your story touches a place in my heart and I love how you share everything with your followers. Please keep the journey going, I didn't have as great a childhood as your kids, but people like you are rare and special. All my love, Mj. Keller❤
I am so glad there are people in the world like you.❤❤❤
Joshs story is both heartbreaking and beautiful. You were meant to be his mom..
Beautiful story. Thank you for continuing to share your family with us.
What a beautiful story Heather. You and your husband are amazing parents and have raised a beautiful family. God Bless you all.🙏
Beautiful video. There’s someone out there that needed to hear your story. I have 2 daughters who have gone through the foster care and adoption process. We’ve loved everyone of those kids like our own and our one daughter has kids from other count each year. That was hard because we had to say goodbye but have still kept in contact and 3 have came back o the states to visit. 💞
You all are amazing!!!! You are so precious! Those kids are truly blessed and y’all are so much more blessed in having them!!! Love you guys! Congrats on the engagement!
Crying 😢 I feel like our stories align although I’m in the beginning part of your journey. wonderful video
I am so happy for you all and I'm grateful for you all. God bless and keep you all. From Bakersfield California 💪🏽🙏💖🐝🐢P.S. you all keep telling your God planned story. 😊
I really cant express to you how much i love your family, and how happy i am for you guys to have been able to come together!
I grew up with people around me telling me adoptive kids arent the same as your birth kids, and the connection isnt as strong. But I've always told them that just because your heart cant accept loving and caring for other kids, doesnt mean i cant.
I have an adoptive uncle that i love, i have "adopted"/sponsored grandparents who truly loves me as their very own, because i was. Just because we dont share blood, doesnt mean we cant love and truly bond like a family.
Your family is living proof that you can love and connect with others and become a strong family.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how you feel fortunate that their families accept you. So many people are judgmental and self-righteous and see it as the other way around.
Heather you & hubby have the biggest heart!🎉🎉
Very beautiful story!
Thank you for adopting.. my Husband was adopted at 3 weeks of age. I spent about a year after my Mom passed away in foster care with a fabulous family.
Mama Bell, God knows what he was doing. He brought the two boys just to see how you would raise them. God was right, he knew exactly what he was doing and he was very proud to see how fantastic you were going to be as a mother and your husband as a dad. When I was talking with my mother and I was 20 years to college to become a child psychologist, it was a judge that I knew, and at the time he did not like how foster children were being treated in the foster care System at the time and I was doing a paper about the throwaway kids that he told me that I was going to adopt a five year old little girl because he didn’t want to put her in foster care because she was throwing away by her parents. It was my mother that alway when something was always on our mind and it was her, they gave me that small piece of advice. My college tuition was used to adopt her and I had my parents blessing because I was smart in school add received scholarships to pay for it. Both of my parents said that they saw my college education As an investment in my future.
Thank you for sharing your family's story. I love watching your family's videos 😊
Love that you make sure that you have you're kids approvels before you share things about them.
I am the youngest of 12 kids, i have 6 brothers and 5 sisters.
I have watched a few of you're cooking videos and a few of you're shopping videos.
It was like watching my Mom cooking for our large family.
Shopping and telling you're kids what are the better deals, that what they have asked for is not needed and them respecting you for saying no.
You brought back so many memories of my childhood, of my Mom and all that she has done for us.
My Mom was always calm and loving. I see that in you. That is a gift not many people have.
You truely are a gift to you're kids, they are blessed to have you in their lives as their Mom.
My Mom cooked and baked. She had many cook books. Not once have any of us kids see her open a cookbook. Never!
The way you know the amount that goes into each dish, so like my Mom.
Want you to know just how special you truely are.
Such a beautiful story, thank you for sharing!!!!
I grew up in Foster here from 7 to 18. I also have endometriosis and haven’t been able to have a kid. I love your story❤
Thank you for sharing your story! Oh my gosh, what a wonderful story!
Hi Heather….thank you for being you…and thank you for showing your love and light in the world. I’m 44 with 3 grown daughters and I definitely did the best I could with the knowledge that I had. I was raised by a step mom who loathed me and my siblings from my fathers past relationships. So although I was raised by a mother figure it never felt warm, cozy or nurturing. My relationship with my step mom felt like a business transaction, a very quid pro quo type situation when it came to anything with her. Although I raised my girls in a completely different environment full of love, care, empowerment etc I even to this day feel myself wanting to have a mom in my life. I real person who will make me feel like their proud of the things I’m doing, etc. I know sounds silly at my age but I wanted to tell you that you touch lives of those you’ve never even met just by seeing the things you do for your kids. I really wish someone had done for me. 😢 Your family is lucky to have you.
TYFS this is such a Blessed and Beautiful thing!❤
I’m not much of a religious person, but God bless you for what you do and for keeping these adoptions open.
you have been blessed to have a amazing family ❤
What a beautiful story. Wow!! I love all of it!
I happen to be watching this on Mother's day and crying happy tears!! I too had Endometriosis and was told I could never have kids but through the grace of God I had twin girls who will be turning 31in a few weeks. Happy Mother's day 💓
You guys are the best, I follow you with love. Greetings from The Netherlands❤
I am very proud of you for having a wonderful family & what all you do for them 💕. I love every one of you & also your videos 💕. Thanks for sharing , May God Bless You All 💕🙏💕🙏💕
Hi, I just subscribed at the advice of another TH-camr. After watching this, it all makes sense 😊❣️❣️
Beautiful family!
Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony with us!
I love that you did everything in the open! Honesty is still the best policy.
Knowing your roots is empowering.
❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story. We wanted to adopt, couldn't afford private adoption. Had a horrible, disappointing experience with trying to adopt through the county. Initial social worker took a year to do home study, a potential match was negatively influenced by the child's social worker who was against interracial adoptions. Then our social worker (different one from home study) just stopped returning calls. So frustrating and disheartening, especially when there are so many children needing loving homes.
Aldi's does stock some things only at certain times of year. For example, specific products for Oktoberfest, such as three different flavors of frozen spaetzel, certain sausages, breads. There are too many to mention. Also, seasonal boxed teas concentrates Chai Latte, London Fog, and Dirty Chai.
You are the best mom! ❤
You are the most generous, giving woman. A true Proverbs 31 woman.
BEAUTIFUL!!! 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you so much for sharing. What an incredibly strong, loving family. I just watched the video of Hannah at 21, purchasing her first home seeing the pride, the work ethic that takes is incredible
Hugs
What a beautiful way to start the day! Your family story is amazing!!
I am not crying, you are 😢🥹🫶🏻 loved listen to you ❤
im adopted from Korea 19 years ago. I stumbled across your page and you inspired me to become a foster parent when i get older! You are the best mom online ever! I respect you and your family so much!
😢 I’m so in love with you and your journey of your family. I wanted to be a foster parent but unfortunately I’m not able to do so 😢. May God continue to bless you and your family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness, tears are flowing here.
You and your husband are definitely Blessed by Our Lord. You have adopted all these children out of pure love, and it shows.
Thank you for being the definition of Godly, Loving people making others lives better.
May The Lord always Bless you and keep you always. Numbers 6:24 - 6:26. 🙏🙏❤️
THANK YOU for being who you are. The world would be a nicer placr if we all took a oage out of your playbook,

Your making me cry. So beautiful! My brother and sis in law adopted after raising three daughters God made a way for a fourth. It has opened my heart to adoption. Children need safe loving homes.
