Agreed. Very much liked that. I mean, you can open with saying the name of podcast and then your names or whatever but then right into a prayer would be awesome.
Rejected by both parents and raised by grandparents! Was always the “redheaded step-child”. God has redeemed it all and as I get older I realize what He protected me from and prepared me for!
Danielle and her sisters had a mom and her family. She's strong woman wasn't used to help from me a man. That explains why at times she took on more without ask for his help. Danielle you are a wonderful mom. God Bless you.
I loved the prayer intro. Family is hard, and everyone has a story when it comes to family. I think this podcast is fantastic because people like me need to realize that even if it looks like another family has it all, that doesn't mean that there isn't hard stuff going on. This podcast is very encouraging and I just want to tell you guys don't stop! We love you guys here in Alabama ❤❤
Danielle, thank you for sharing your story. I absolutely love how Adam chose to start w/ opening w/ prayer. That was absolutely the perfect way to intro into your story. I grew up w/ both my parents, however my biological father was not a nice person. He was an Atheist and an alcoholic and abusive in every manner. I look back and reflect and wish that it would have been better to not have him around. There was 5 of us kids. My mom was Italian, Catholic and did nothing to protect us kids from his abuse. So my childhood was challenging and myself and my twin sister were never close to our mom and to this day have a strained relationship w/ her. My father committed suicide in 2004.
You did great! It’s nice to see how you still respect your mom even with all that you’ve been through. That shows the love of Christ in your life! God bless you!
Aww Danielle! You handled that beautifully. I could see how incredibly hard this was for you. Thank you for sharing with us. Yes we've wondered for years, not that it was anyone's business. I think you sharing your story will help others!
I love how her voice perked up and she got so happy when Adam asked if it was okay to pray. I would highly recommend you all watch "Show Me The Father", by the Kendrick Brother's . To God be the Glory.
Danielle, we have almost identical stories. Growing up I always said the same thing about not missing anything not having my father in my life. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I saw it. Seeing friends and even my half sisters with dads makes me see what I missed. It’s real and sometimes it just takes longer to see it. Dads are so so important. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Your story literally mirrors mine. I'm 39 and my dad has not been in my life or my brother's life since I was born (im 15 months younger than him). My parents were married for 7 years before I was born and then he left when I came. My mom raised us a single parent and my grandparents stepped in and helped her where needed. My grandpa is my father figure and my uncles (moms brothers) are so supportive. And my cousin's are like sisters to me! You are not alone and there's nothing wrong with feeling like nothing is missing. It doesn't define you! your story is yours! I feel the same way about my " donor" as I call him ❤
Thank you for sharing your story Dannielle, I pray by releasing it you can continue to heal. Your past hardships have made you the awesome mother you are today. Continue to put God first and He will continue to guide you and your wonderful family.
Your story and my husband's are so similar. His father wasn't around, but he never missed him because of his extended family's involvement in his life growing up. Coming from a two parent household and only hearing stories that were different, this shocked me at first. But now I see how God provided for and protected him. It's a real thing that God does. He did it in his life just as He did it for you. That's important to hear. Not easy to spell all of this out for all to hear. Good job!
I’ve watched every episode of Outdaughtered and now the podcast and I’ve never been able to quite read you guys…. You have alluded to the editing of the show contributing not really getting to know you guys. I’m appreciating this podcast! Adam - thank you for praying on the recording of this episode! THAT definitely points towards who you are as a person!!! Thank you for not shying away! 🧡
I’m 65 and the baby of 4. Parents stayed together but shouldn’t have. Dad was an alcoholic, mom worked 2nd or 3rd shift. My older sisters had to have me tag along. They hated it. I was responsible since 4th grade. Cooked and cleaned, picked up my dad’s mess, etc. Didn’t have grandparents. Stayed a lot at my friends house often. I think there are a lot of us with similar upbringing. I did marry 3 times and it was hard on my 3 kids, from 2 different dads. I can relate to your mom and wish I didn’t remarry. My story would take 10 episodes. You are great parents, doing a great job!
Sending you love Danielle! I grew up without a "bio father" and totally understand a lot of what you spoke of. Thankful that God fulfills those voids with loving people. 💜
I know how Danielle feels. I lost my grandparents before I met my husband and got blessed by my children. But I wish every day that they could be with us.
My nose went on a run too. I feel this episode in my own journey. In most of these waysand in so many different ways. Danielle, you 3 girls are strong, loved, and are so gracious. Thank you! Adam, you too are a gracious man for being so patient and intuitive as a husband! Thank you!
Danielle, I’m glad you are telling your story as I’m tired of reading about this or that click bait that I know isn’t true. I know this had to be difficult for you but you did great explaining everything.
Awesome Danielle! So Proud of you. This will bring even more healing to you as you tell your story. Thank you so much for choosing to do this. I am a grandmother raising my 2 grandchildren. We lost their mom(our daughter) to drugs a year ago and to see the impact your grandparents had on you, i can only pray the same in my situation. Thank you again
Love that you prayed ❤❤❤ Danielle, I know you hate crying, especially in public, but you’re just being real, real emotions, real hurts, and a lot of people can relate and will feel better just hearing your stories. Thank you so much for being vulnerable. And Adam, that IS a farm. 😊😂
I don't do IG but I am going to listen bc I enjoyed the family nature of your "reality" show. As a believer I love when we can be transparent and show how God has given us peace in circumstances and how He is so faithful in every situation. Thank you
Adam how you prayed for your wife, just beautiful! Danielle...we have very simular childhood backgrounds. I knew my mom, she was part of my life as a young girl & then she walked away from my life. I too blocked everything out until I had my own children & then I went to therapy. My mom was toxic, it really was best she was not in my life. My dad raised me with my grand parents on their Farm. I had to work hard as a young girl, I had to help raise my baby sisters. I grew up fast... You both amaze me ❤
Love love Danielle she is like superwoman she can handle it all ! God give the biggest challenges to the strongest people 💪🏾 keep up the good work Dani ❤
Hey Adam and danielle!,adam,that was a beautiful prayer you said .I think that would be a great way to start every episode. Danielle,thank you for sharing your story with all of us.I have been praying for you, I mean I pray for the both of you all the time. But I have really been praying for you Danielle and I just want you to know that it's okay to cry ,because it takes strength to show that emotion and it's very important for the girls to know that it's okay to cry .The Lord will get you through the tears.I admire y'all so much. My mom was a single mom too,she raised my three brothers and I right by herself with the help of my grandmother and grandfather. I was so lucky to have her as my mom. I have cerebral palsy and I was sick a lot growing up and she always had a positive attitude about everything .the reason I'm telling you this ,because in a lot of ways you remind me of my mom, because you have always raised those beautiful girls the same way. I will look forward to the next episode and I will be praying for all of your family.😁😍
I agree with a lot of people about saying Thanks for being so open about your past. I always wondered about your dad but never dwelled on it. I do miss your mom tho. Loved this pod cast.
It's good you opened up about all this! It will help you process and heal from what you didn't even know you needed healing from! Hugs and prayers! You are nit alone! 🤗🙏♥️
Hi! I just made a video on how yall have helped me about being a mom of a NICU baby!! when I had my first daughter was 2.8lbs and she was in the NICU for a month and that was the most hardest thing I’ve ever been through!!! Thank yall for sharing yalls story. God bless yall!!!
Is there anything more precious, besides Jesus, than a husband who prays for you? I am so grateful for mine. Adam is a blessing. I love you both so much, it is super frustrating to have a deep tell all then repeatedly say, "I don't want to share that. I don't want to talk about that."
Me too! My bio dad isn't a Christian. Thankfully I had a godly grandpa and a uncle in law who showed me what to look for in a godly husband. Married to a wonderful Christian man for 25 years and counting
I completely understand where you are coming from about dad. My dad was around a little bit more but not much. I’ve always said & some would say it’s crude but he’s a sperm dónar.
Thank you so much for sharing about your past. I know it wasn't easy but I also have similar background and it's nice to see that you've turned into a positive and faith filled lifestyle.
Danielle you did an awesome job and could tell it was hard. My mom's father left their family when she was 6 weeks old and my grandmother had 2 boys and 2 girls to raise and this was in 1924. It was tough then. Myvaunt who was the oldest child has to clean houses to make money just so they had food to eat. The saddest thing was my mom wanted to see if he was still alive or had family as she never knew her father. She was 79 years when this happened and then she passed away before getting info mailed to her. Now I'm in the middle of ancestry trying to find info as that was my biological grandfather. I pray for you both everyday as we go through hard times. Prayers...
This is good thank you for sharing. We raised our nephew. He is now in college. We worked really hard to make up for who he didn’t have. Ty knew his dad loved him. I know his dad loved him and his sister. He did not know how to be a dad.
Aww .. I never knew my grandparents.. I met one grandma once but didn’t know her.. I think there is soo much you learn from them and I always wished I had known them. We all grow up missing a few details .. but you realize as you get older none of that matters as much as you surround yourself with the people you love. 💕 I had the best Dad and Mom and I will always remember that they did the best they could.. ❤🙏🏻❤️ I miss them so much…. I now am a gramma and they are the sweetest little people ever!! God bless’s us all in so many ways !
At 46 years old, I am in seek of a husband that prays with and for me!! I didn’t have that in past relationships so I love seeing that that in Adam. Gives me hope that good men do exist. I love yall and your sweet family!!!
Danielle, For me it was interesting listening to you talk about how you and your sisters were perceived and then you talking about Hazel, Riley, Lulu, Parker, and Ava, and then what you said about Blake because it actually made me cry.
Adam and Danielle I have been watching you all since the quints were babies my granddaughters love watching you all. I just want to say it’s okay to cry you have a heart and you have feelings so don’t ever apologize for that. Love your family and I am really enjoying this podcast. I’m sure your story is going to help others. Good call Adam starting the podcast off with prayer😊
Thank you for opening up and trying to be vulnerable! I know it’s hard! ❤ but I would say that It looks like Adam is always coming in very prepared for the podcast with a clear idea of what to talk about in a structured way and Danielle seems very defensive throughout the episodes. It might help to jump on with a plan :)
We must appreciate D'Buz and her sisters. Look at how they turned out! I mean I understand women who don't walk the straight line, if such a thing happened. It mustve taken alot of determination for them to not let what happened affect them negatively. That's brave! :-)
Thanks for sharing your story with us❤ I had a similar experience growing up with my family and I’m so blessed that my grandparents were always there for me too.
Families all look different in everybody's life. There's no shame in having a family that looks a little different than everybody else's. Your mom did the best she could with what life handed her. I'm sure if she could have seen her future, things might have been different for all of you. Since we can't see the future, she plugged away at doing the best she could. You all turned out to be wonderful caring people! I absolutely love your guys story! Brings joy to alot of people! Thanks for sharing!
@daniellebusby I grew up very similar and honstly I cried along with you. I know I never knew my dad growing up. Big prayers for you both. Love your story danielle. I know im not the only one and neither are you. Thanks for opening up!!
You had a good life Danielle. I didn’t have a loving father in my home either and I was left alone a lot while my mom worked. It was very lonely. I wasn’t blessed to have loving grandparents in my life who helped raise me either, but you did. You are blessed. I grew up doing a lot when I was younger too. Now Adam sounds like he had the ideal life growing up. Kids can be kids and still learn how to do things at a young age. I started working at the age of 12 and earning my money. My kids had a wonderful childhood playing in the mountains and being outdoors a lot, being creative, etc., but I also taught them the value of work and chores and how to do their laundry, clean, get jobs of their own as teenagers, etc and they are very independent, successful, happy adults with beautiful families. I raised my children on my own and it wasn’t easy. I say always be grateful and look at all you do have. Count your blessings and thank God every day of your life. For me life has been long and lonely and not the life I dreamed of, but I did my best and did a great job raising my kids. I’d hate to think they saw me as you see your mom. They were my top priority. I gave them all of my love and was there for them the best I could be while also working. We all have different stories about our lives. Be grateful.
Wow Danielle I feel for you. Yet you ate such a strong woman. I feel for you and look forward to the next episode, I see where you coming from when you spoke about blayke. That was you when younwere her age ❤❤❤
I think that is the amazing thing about Forgivness is that you can truly forgive someone and forget what theve done in the past without it effecting your future, that is true freedom, my Mum was similar and I feel so free now I have truly forgiven her and my "Father"
Thank you for sharing a part of your life that is so personal and difficult to talk about. You are a wonderful mother and should be so proud of the upbringing you have both given all of your children. 🩷
Danielle, I just have to say I can relate a lot with your story. I am an only child, my dad was in my life as my stepmom made sure that I knew him. My mom did remarry at one point and divorced, but she also had the same tendencies as your mother with mental instability, the bad decisions, the relationships with men. I also spent a lot of time at my grandparents on the farm, and some said that my grandparents raised me and those were also the good times in my life, until my grandmother passed away. And even being 53 years old, I am piecing things together. I believe there is a lot that the Lord has blocked from my memory as a child probably for my good. Just so you know, our youngest daughter is named Blake 😉 and I can’t wait to hear more of your story.
thank you for sharing this part of your life ❤ i experience a similar situation in my own life & it’s not easy. i adore this family! side note: i think it would be cool if you had a camera that focused on whoever was speaking at that moment!
Thank you so much. It will come in due time. Extra camera take a lot of extra work. We have the equipment for it, but we will eventually get a team to help with production things like this.
What a great intro! U guys r really doing right by ur girls! Especially in the world! Way to lead them to God! What good influences and parents ur! ❤❤ God bless!
I know what it is like to not have a dad. When I heard mine passed away, I never cried. He didn’t mean anything to me. I thought I would have grieved for the father I never had, but I didn’t. My dear friend who’s a therapist said, she saw me heal from that void 20 years before so of course there was nothing to grieve. Don’t let anyone ever say, they know what you are going through as they don’t unless you’ve lived the disfunction. Thank you for sharing!
This is beautiful 😍 Praying before anything is amazing 👏 May you all be blessed❤ Danielle as long as you forgive him, you are fine. It might be daily whenever the thought comes up. But ask Jesus to give you the strength, and He will carry you through. ( All the way from South Africa ) ❤
Ten years ago, when I began following you two on social media, BEAUTIFUL Blayke was so little, and SWEET quints hadn't been born yet. From the first day, 10 years ago (I remember it clearly), I fell in love with both of my brother (Adam) and sister (Danielle) I don't have religious background, so naturally, I don’t look at things through the lens of religion or God. But after years and years doing meditation, some form of a sense has awakened in me and always tells me: what is the right choice or what is the wrong choice. And much more, of course. and I've learned to trust this sense. You two, ten years ago, were the results of that sense. After ten years, I can say again it was absolutely the right choice to follow you. For me, as a non-believer, you two are the only believers that I really enjoy listening to your beliefs. I always felt pure HONESTY and LOVE in you. I,ll be with you to the end and even beyond the universe. 🤩❤👍
Don’t know if you’ll see this Danielle, I am your cousin from Nola! Your description of my Uncle Fred and my Aunt Mary were spot on. Loved those people. Spent many summers with Jude, Dan, Freddie, Guy, Lanette, Yolande and your mom. Your grandparents were just lovely people. I could go on and on but I just wanted to reach out. I still stay in touch with Dan and Betty regularly, and Guy every so often. Take care girl, Pop’s would be so proud. Bernie
And your Pop’s and my dad, Uncle JB, loved their farming that they used to challenge each other ie; who grew the biggest tomato, who harvested theirs first etc. Then either we’d go to Lake Charles of they’d come to Gretna. Looking back on those times, certainly some of the best of my childhood.
greatfull i had good parents that were very much present!my mom grew up as foster child not knowing who her real parents are and why she was taken but state this was back in fall river mass in 1952.
So do you and your sisters have the same father?? I agree not giving him any “fame”! It’s gotta be a relief to get this off your chest..at least I would think! Thank you for sharing! You both are very lucky to have a relationship like you do! I was 18 when I got married “catholic” after 43 yrs still going! The priest told us the most important thing in a marriage is communication…I could agree more!
I totally understand i remet my father when i turned 40 im 47 now i always said i dint need a dad untill i saw him in person ans saw my self in him my nom was young too she had my brother and I by age 18
Danielle, you're a little bit younger than my niece. The era of young ladies at that time, teen pregnancy was epidemic, and it was not uncommon to have a bunch of grandparents raising these babies. We had it happen in our family. Now my parents are gone, and it's passed on to me. My niece is a grown adult with her own child, but we call her our daughter. Her mother is in the picture, and is capable at this point. But you can't undo those relationships that formed when she was very young. She chats with her mother, but she relies on us for stability.
I think you should use prayer as your intro. every time. I just respect you so much more than ever!❤🙏
Great prayer 🙏 ❤
Agreed. Very much liked that. I mean, you can open with saying the name of podcast and then your names or whatever but then right into a prayer would be awesome.
💯🙏
Rejected by both parents and raised by grandparents! Was always the “redheaded step-child”. God has redeemed it all and as I get older I realize what He protected me from and prepared me for!
I cannot imagine how challenging it must be to want to tell your story while trying not to hurt others. ❤
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words, I got a bit of anxiety watching her struggle
Needed to her this story today 😢 nice to know others can understand how it is when you have a father like this ❤
Danielle and her sisters had a mom and her family. She's strong woman wasn't used to help from me a man. That explains why at times she took on more without ask for his help. Danielle you are a wonderful mom. God Bless you.
Wow. The power of prayer at the beginning. Thanks for shining Gods light so brightly, without hesitation. So impressed and inspiring
I loved the prayer intro. Family is hard, and everyone has a story when it comes to family. I think this podcast is fantastic because people like me need to realize that even if it looks like another family has it all, that doesn't mean that there isn't hard stuff going on.

BEAUTIFUL story Danielle ❤️

Strong beautiful woman inside and out ❤
Loved that you all where so comfortable praying before your podcast so neat
Thank you so much for sharing about your past. I know it wasn't easy but I also have similar background and it's nice to see that you've turned into a positive and faith filled lifestyle.
Danielle you did an awesome job and could tell it was hard. My mom's father left their family when she was 6 weeks old and my grandmother had 2 boys and 2 girls to raise and this was in 1924. It was tough then. Myvaunt who was the oldest child has to clean houses to make money just so they had food to eat.

This is good thank you for sharing. We raised our nephew. He is now in college. We worked really hard to make up for who he didn’t have. Ty knew his dad loved him. I know his dad loved him and his sister. He did not know how to be a dad.
Aww .. I never knew my grandparents.. I met one grandma once but didn’t know her.. I think there is soo much you learn from them and I always wished I had known them. We all grow up missing a few details .. but you realize as you get older none of that matters as much as you surround yourself with the people you love. 💕 I had the best Dad and Mom and I will always remember that they did the best they could.. ❤🙏🏻❤️ I miss them so much…. I now am a gramma and they are the sweetest little people ever!! God bless’s us all in so many ways !
I can relate to you so very much Danielle! You did a great job telling your story
At 46 years old, I am in seek of a husband that prays with and for me!! I didn’t have that in past relationships so I love seeing that that in Adam. Gives me hope that good men do exist. I love yall and your sweet family!!!
Danielle, For me it was interesting listening to you talk about how you and your sisters were perceived and then you talking about Hazel, Riley, Lulu, Parker, and Ava, and then what you said about Blake because it actually made me cry.
I can truly relate to your story in many ways. I hope you forgive him, even if he doesn’t deserve it. Doesn’t mean he has to be in your life.
Something’s wet in my eye too Danielle! 😢 Love hearing y’all’s stories. It’s great to see the unedited version of you both.
Adam and Danielle I have been watching you all since the quints were babies my granddaughters love watching you all. I just want to say it’s okay to cry you have a heart and you have feelings so don’t ever apologize for that. Love your family and I am really enjoying this podcast. I’m sure your story is going to help others. Good call Adam starting the podcast off with prayer😊
I just saw this episode! Kisses from Buenos Aires
Thank you for opening up and trying to be vulnerable! I know it’s hard! ❤ but I would say that It looks like Adam is always coming in very prepared for the podcast with a clear idea of what to talk about in a structured way and Danielle seems very defensive throughout the episodes. It might help to jump on with a plan :)
I'm thankful for your story Danielle.
Love the prayer!!! Definitely should be a new way of starting your podcast! Love your family!!!! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it!
Thank you for sharing Danielle! 💕🙏🏽
We must appreciate D'Buz and her sisters. Look at how they turned out! I mean I understand women who don't walk the straight line, if such a thing happened. It mustve taken alot of determination for them to not let what happened affect them negatively. That's brave! :-)
Thanks for sharing your story with us❤ I had a similar experience growing up with my family and I’m so blessed that my grandparents were always there for me too.
Families all look different in everybody's life. There's no shame in having a family that looks a little different than everybody else's. Your mom did the best she could with what life handed her. I'm sure if she could have seen her future, things might have been different for all of you. Since we can't see the future, she plugged away at doing the best she could. You all turned out to be wonderful caring people! I absolutely love your guys story! Brings joy to alot of people!
Thanks for sharing!
I have been waiting for this! Love that u guys are so open and it helps us relate to ur family
Love love triple love watching your family❤❤❤❤❤
Thank u 4 sharing your story I look forward 2 seeing the next episode & than find out where is mimi
Thanks for sharing. Makes sense why you appear very strong and capable ❤
@daniellebusby I grew up very similar and honstly I cried along with you. I know I never knew my dad growing up. Big prayers for you both. Love your story danielle. I know im not the only one and neither are you. Thanks for opening up!!
You had a good life Danielle. I didn’t have a loving father in my home either and I was left alone a lot while my mom worked. It was very lonely. I wasn’t blessed to have loving grandparents in my life who helped raise me either, but you did. You are blessed. I grew up doing a lot when I was younger too. Now Adam sounds like he had the ideal life growing up. Kids can be kids and still learn how to do things at a young age. I started working at the age of 12 and earning my money. My kids had a wonderful childhood playing in the mountains and being outdoors a lot, being creative, etc., but I also taught them the value of work and chores and how to do their laundry, clean, get jobs of their own as teenagers, etc and they are very independent, successful, happy adults with beautiful families. I raised my children on my own and it wasn’t easy. I say always be grateful and look at all you do have. Count your blessings and thank God every day of your life. For me life has been long and lonely and not the life I dreamed of, but I did my best and did a great job raising my kids. I’d hate to think they saw me as you see your mom. They were my top priority. I gave them all of my love and was there for them the best I could be while also working. We all have different stories about our lives. Be grateful.
Thanks for sharing your childhood with us. I'm sure it took alot to open up about everything. Blessings!
Thank you for sharing Danielle. I can relate in many ways. God bless you and your family 😊
You are so welcome!
Wow Danielle I feel for you. Yet you ate such a strong woman. I feel for you and look forward to the next episode, I see where you coming from when you spoke about blayke. That was you when younwere her age ❤❤❤
Love your story so far. Yall are much younger than me but the way we grew up is very similar and loved my childhood
I think that is the amazing thing about Forgivness is that you can truly forgive someone and forget what theve done in the past without it effecting your future, that is true freedom, my Mum was similar and I feel so free now I have truly forgiven her and my "Father"
Thank you for sharing a part of your life that is so personal and difficult to talk about. You are a wonderful mother and should be so proud of the upbringing you have both given all of your children. 🩷
Danielle, I just have to say I can relate a lot with your story. I am an only child, my dad was in my life as my stepmom made sure that I knew him. My mom did remarry at one point and divorced, but she also had the same tendencies as your mother with mental instability, the bad decisions, the relationships with men. I also spent a lot of time at my grandparents on the farm, and some said that my grandparents raised me and those were also the good times in my life, until my grandmother passed away. And even being 53 years old, I am piecing things together. I believe there is a lot that the Lord has blocked from my memory as a child probably for my good.
Just so you know, our youngest daughter is named Blake 😉 and I can’t wait to hear more of your story.
I've always wondered about your Dad. Thank you for sharing.❤
Thanks for watching!
It would be interesting to have your sisters and you can talk about your memories and what ones were the same and different.
thank you for sharing this part of your life ❤ i experience a similar situation in my own life & it’s not easy. i adore this family!
side note: i think it would be cool if you had a camera that focused on whoever was speaking at that moment!
Thank you so much.
It will come in due time. Extra camera take a lot of extra work. We have the equipment for it, but we will eventually get a team to help with production things like this.
What a great intro! U guys r really doing right by ur girls! Especially in the world! Way to lead them to God! What good influences and parents ur! ❤❤ God bless!
Thank you so much!
I know what it is like to not have a dad. When I heard mine passed away, I never cried. He didn’t mean anything to me. I thought I would have grieved for the father I never had, but I didn’t. My dear friend who’s a therapist said, she saw me heal from that void 20 years before so of course there was nothing to grieve. Don’t let anyone ever say, they know what you are going through as they don’t unless you’ve lived the disfunction. Thank you for sharing!
This is beautiful 😍 Praying before anything is amazing 👏 May you all be blessed❤ Danielle as long as you forgive him, you are fine. It might be daily whenever the thought comes up. But ask Jesus to give you the strength, and He will carry you through. ( All the way from South Africa ) ❤
You’re all such a cute family and loved the fun you always had with your sisters and brother in laws. Nothing like family!
Danielle You did great talking about Your family and when You grew up thank You for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Now you got me crying
Ten years ago, when I began following you two on social media, BEAUTIFUL Blayke was so little, and SWEET quints hadn't been born yet. From the first day, 10 years ago (I remember it clearly), I fell in love with both of my brother (Adam) and sister (Danielle)
I don't have religious background, so naturally, I don’t look at things through the lens of religion or God. But after years and years doing meditation, some form of a sense has awakened in me and always tells me: what is the right choice or what is the wrong choice. And much more, of course. and I've learned to trust this sense.
You two, ten years ago, were the results of that sense. After ten years, I can say again it was absolutely the right choice to follow you.
For me, as a non-believer, you two are the only believers that I really enjoy listening to your beliefs. I always felt pure HONESTY and LOVE in you.
I,ll be with you to the end and even beyond the universe. 🤩❤👍
We love you Didi ❤
Thank you for sharing
Aw nice video Adam and Danielle 💗💚🙏🏼
Don’t know if you’ll see this Danielle, I am your cousin from Nola! Your description of my Uncle Fred and my Aunt Mary were spot on. Loved those people. Spent many summers with Jude, Dan, Freddie, Guy, Lanette, Yolande and your mom. Your grandparents were just lovely people. I could go on and on but I just wanted to reach out. I still stay in touch with Dan and Betty regularly, and Guy every so often. Take care girl, Pop’s would be so proud. Bernie
And your Pop’s and my dad, Uncle JB, loved their farming that they used to challenge each other ie; who grew the biggest tomato, who harvested theirs first etc. Then either we’d go to Lake Charles of they’d come to Gretna. Looking back on those times, certainly some of the best of my childhood.
greatfull i had good parents that were very much present!my mom grew up as foster child not knowing who her real parents are and why she was taken but state this was back in fall river mass in 1952.
Busy family❤❤
So do you and your sisters have the same father?? I agree not giving him any “fame”! It’s gotta be a relief to get this off your chest..at least I would think! Thank you for sharing! You both are very lucky to have a relationship like you do! I was 18 when I got married “catholic” after 43 yrs still going! The priest told us the most important thing in a marriage is communication…I could agree more!
Happy I discovered your podcast. All I can say is hugs.. Now I need to catch up
Welcome!!
I absolutely loved that you all prayed beforehand.
I totally understand i remet my father when i turned 40 im 47 now i always said i dint need a dad untill i saw him in person ans saw my self in him my nom was young too she had my brother and I by age 18
My daughter loves Out Daughter. She has watched the show start to finish about 5 times. Will you guys have a new season coming soon on TLC?
Danielle, you're a little bit younger than my niece. The era of young ladies at that time, teen pregnancy was epidemic, and it was not uncommon to have a bunch of grandparents raising these babies. We had it happen in our family. Now my parents are gone, and it's passed on to me. My niece is a grown adult with her own child, but we call her our daughter. Her mother is in the picture, and is capable at this point. But you can't undo those relationships that formed when she was very young. She chats with her mother, but she relies on us for stability.
the best family 😊
My dad is the oldest of 14, so i was the 2nd oldest granchild( of 50ish) and was babysitting 4-6 kids(cousins) at 10 years old! Newborns, included! 😮
