Dave and Jenny are so incredible May GOD be with you always ❤
I watch your show in South Africa and was so happy that you shared your story of Sylvia's adoption. Go well.
God bless you Dave and Jenny. Thank you for trusting God and His timing with your family. May God continue to light your way!❤❤
Thank you Dave and Jenny for sharing your adoption story. Love yo show!
Thank you
What a heart warming look into the Mars family story. We are so blessed to hear good in our world
Why doesn't Jenny and Dave spend more time with Sylvie at least share her birthday have Silva come out to the shop or have Jenny take her with her to go pick out some things for the house
Don't understand the question here
That's exactly what I posted above! They show precious intimate moments with their biological kids....n that's it ...they showed an episode where they went for ice cream...she ate from each of their ice cream but when she got to Sylvia...she stopped ... it's so obvious they make a difference between their biological children and Sylvia
You people make me sick. It's none of your business. They are great people.
I love Dave and Jenny and how focused and determined they were(are) not just in their work, but most importantly, with their family.
Precious story of God’s faithfulness and love. Adoption, a beautiful picture of His adoption of us. Thank-you for sharing 💗
I am shocked by some of these comments. It is malicious gossip! The comments are so negative and they are being made by people who don't actually know anything about the family. These are real people. They deserve respect on this platform just as they would if they were standing right in front of you.
My twins are now 27. And I did and still do go up to twin moms and say you will live and they do grow up . All too soon. I love you guys. Your guys and your house designs. Wish you guys could reno my house in PA.
Thank you for sharing your adoption story. I enjoy watching your famous HGTV “Fixer Upper”, I just love them both in how they open their to everyone in renovations and serving others especially adopting children in giving them a beautiful and comfortable life. GOD Bless you both.
Fixer upper is Chip and Joanna Gaines. Dave and Jenny’s is Fixer to Fabulous

Beautiful and loving couple beautiful story
They are a very special couple.
Love watching your show you're family is adorable
I love Jennie Mae's the day sylvie came to America and she held her in her arms I wouldn't put her down I knew her love was genuine every family gathering on the show I see sylvie she's not excluded but included they genuinely love sylvie as if she's from their own loins I love them
I love the show that Dave and Jenny have Fixer to Fabulous, I love Dave and Jenny thy are so careing and Loving ,down to earth. I want to thank you Dave and Jenny for telling your story about adopting your daughter and having your twin boys and your other daughter it was so enjoying to hear your story. Love from AKRON, OHIO ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
This is the best! Thanks!
Absolutely love this couple❤
Dave and Jenny I have watched many many shows of yours and love them all but today the show was S4E8 about the dated log cabin which turned out so fabulous but I also saw you two get away all by yourselves for a date night so to speak and you said talked about shop talk and how the day went when you said "wait a minute we weren't going to talk shop or even abut the kids when you both fell silent and laughed as to say that IS OUR WORLD OUR LIFE TO TALK ABOUT, and I loved it so much when you said that. My husband and I adopted a beautiful new born from Wichita Kansas and were so thrilled to get her and hold her for that first time then we had a son happily and now our life felt whole. I have to say talk about your kids all day long if you love it and share their joys of their day and their accomplishments always because it is so hard to miss ONE THING about each childs life and when they go off to college the home is QUIET and lonely and your heart feels a bit empty so be prepared to have date nights to the movies and eating out with friends and fall back in love for a second time but do not miss one minute of them going through their lives. We lost our son at age 22 suddenly and went through rough times but as we remembered him wiht love we still had our beautiful girl to go on and live for and life is good once again with much work and love. So ask the kids about their day at school be there love them as I know you do by listening to your video's but empty nests are hard to get use to so practice now like you did in that series I loved it and love your family. God Bless You from Jeannie Vangas in Kansas
Such a lovely couple and interview. Thank you for sharing. God has truly blessed this family. 💕🙏
Can y’all please feature Sylvie more on Fixer to Fabulous?
Exactly! They talk about her adoption but on the show they only show intimate moments with their biological children...
She’s. I’d enough to knwhat she wants and might not want to be on camera or interested in that aspect of her parents jobs
*She’s old enough
This is why I chose to adopt in the US. I had considered international, but wasn’t willing to go through something like this. And, we didn’t have the money or connections they have. Glad it worked out for them!
You don't know what all she has and probably
still working through.
DON'T MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS TO JUDGE!
IT ISN'T!
GOD BLESS THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.
AWESOMENESS
Thank you Dana so much, for sharing the Marrs' story. God bless you Jenny and Dave! "Fixer" was my wife's and my introduction to North West Arkansas. After much research into the area, we just returned from Bentonville, ( last week in Oct.) and were completely awestruck with the beauty of the area and the complete sense of community. Every person we met was so genuine and open about their experiences living there. Our week there was filled with so many amazing stories and memories. Looking forward to returning soon!
Brad, let me know next time that you're in Bentonville. I'd love to say hello and treat you to a coffee! Thank you for the kind words about the interview -- Dave and Jenny are such lovely representatives for our area! -- Dana (dana@downtownbentonville.org)
@@DWTNNow Hoping to return in late July. Keep the coffee hot!
Amazing Grace
Amazing family
I just wish I could convince my hubby to start the adoption process. I'm tired of waiting to have children of my own.
Such a good story though.
I know a couple who had similar issues adopting from the Congo but they didn’t give up knowing God was still in control.
This actually gives me such confidence that God will fight for all of our children! I am believing for 3 adult children who have walked away from God BUT I see God’s hand in miraculous ways. I know God is their shepherd and will continue to fight for them (for all of our children)! He WILL finish the work He started in them!
Why didn’t Sylvie ‘s room get shown in renovation? You have a beautiful family.
Pls don't judge. Sylvie may have attachment disorder or other psycho-emotional issues having been in an orphanage and foster home in a war torn country and perhaps she prefers not being on camera or touched. These types of adoptions can be very complex. They appear excited to have adopted her and glad she is a member of their family. Let's not make presumptions based on edited television footage.
Please just let them be happy. And pray for them.
Amen.
Yeah u all would say that but I'm sure you would show more attention, support and affection to an adopted dog! YOU ppl are unbelievable
Good deal😊
❤
I love these people.
Usually when I see people on social media or celebrities I always feel that they are duplicitous or that there is something they are hiding.
No one is perfect only God is but I feel with these two David and Jenny what you see is what you get.
I'd like to believe it because of these two are not decent people then I have no faith in humanity.
This is,a tough situation to be in. I feel bad for their daughter she had parents and could not see her new parents! I would not want the publicity.
I love the adoption of a wanted Child !! BUT WHY DO PEOPLE GO OUTSIDE OF AMERICA TO GET ADOPTIONED CHILD !!?? SO MANY CHILDREN NEED LOVE AND ADOPTION TOO IN AMERICA 🇺🇸!! ❤😊🙏🙏
I'm just curious why you adopted outside the US?
They make adoptions complex which is ridiculous. You have a child who needs a supportive family and that should be focus. You have a couple or a solo parent wanted to take a child in and you put them threw the ringer over and over. Most of the kids have been tossed away like trash. Adoption agencies need to make this process earlier so the kids can start living there best life.
I totally agree. They need to make adoptions quicker for the child. Children need a safe stable environment. Not a long drawn out process. Stop making it so hard and start thinking about the child.
Love your family. Have you thought of adopting another African child?
No because clearly after watching the show for YEARS ...They dont want the one they have
Bro Like that is not what’s happening at all. 1. They love Their daughter and faced all of the trials and worked so hard to get their daughter home, 2. They have 5 children and adopting another is probably not right for their family dynamic or don’t want any more children adopted or not. Also that experience was probably emotionally traumatising
All the unwanted children in the US. Why not one of them? ❤
One of who?
Sometimes being matched with a child can be difficult. Unfortunately, states make money with kids in foster families and it’s not as easy to adopt. Some families go where the child they are matched with is.
Cut the hogwash the Marr's are alright, that child is very happy .
I adore Dave and Jenny, but something feels a little off. Sylvie rarely smiles, she doesn't look like a happy child, and you don't see much interaction between them. We see Dave and Jenny doing so much with Luke and charlett, like riding horses and birthday parties, etc. But where is Sylvie? I'm sure she would love to ride horses, or just go see them. She wasn't at charletts birthday party. They got charlett a puppy at the place they renovated,( not for her birthday) . We don't see Jenny taking Sylvie to get her hair done, or really anything like that, why? I'm sure it was a rough transition for all of them like Jenny said, but it just seems they favor their biological children more than Sylvie. As if she made their lives miserable and maybe carry some resentment. I'm sure Sylvie feels out of place, at least that is what it looks like by her sad face. Sylvie was making strawberry short cake for mothers day and Jenny didn't say anything, like "that's so sweet", kiss or hug her. I Pray I'm completely wrong!
My God, I pray you are WRONG. Your comment is detailed and HEARTBREAKING. Wow!!!!
I pray that it's not true as well there's no interaction at all I love to watch their reno show most of the time she's wondering around she isolate herself a lot😢
Carmen Perez & lindelwa mondi YOU ARE POINT ON💯💯💯💯 I've noticed everything you said and have been waiting for the right moment to say the same thing I don't think you should adopt a child without adopting two children of the same race you can tell she didn't even interact with people of her saying race whether it is through a church or organization and they are struggling to tell this story and when I saw her baking the cake and their reaction I said to myself oh now she's the maid😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
I think
You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. They may not show her much because she might not want to be shown, & they're respecting her wishes.
Why
ARKANSAS
..AND BENTONVILLE..
??
I ..do not see any mountains
?
Always has to be naysayers who think they know
everything about someone else's family as to what is
going on or should be taking place .
You need to take care of your own family because you
don't know what others might be saying about your
parenting and making unnecessary remarks that aren't
true at all.
JUDGING IS UGLY!
I dont see the love for her
This interview does not align with whats shown on t.v. Sylvie is rarely seen. Poor child. 😢. No love. They regret getting that child... Investigate!
Dave! REMOVE YOUR HAT! IT's rude to wear your hat inside!!!!!
It ain't rude when it's your personality chill out damn
