Hey!! We Have a P.O. Box!!
Crazy Good Life
P.O. Box 3071
St. Johns, AZ 85936
You were def meant to be Jared & Shelley’s child. I’m glad you didn’t have to jump around from foster houses. You got lucky ❤️
i agree!! i'm so grateful for them!!
I feel like her story said they actually did jump around a lot before Shelly and Jarod
So proud of you for speaking out about your story Lacey! I have watched you guys from the beginning as a social worker I admire all of you!
Lacey you are a wonderful young lady and you must be thrilled to be part of a lovely family who love you so much. I know your sister is still living with you but what about your brother. Where is he now.... I hope he is as happy as you are. Love all the way from the UK x💖x
@@veronicaarmstrong9792 her sister is not living with her anymore she moved back home with their parents and siblings wait who are you talking about?
just a minute in and i already love the way you talk. yes mom and dad are those who act like parents to you and not those who gave birth to you. i love your mentality
it’s just the truth
tbh when i first started watching crazy middles i literally thought that lacey was shelly’s biological daughter.
Same! Spitting image!
why
@@bethanymiller5631 I think it's because Shelly and her look so alike but not alike at all? Idk how to explain this lol..
Sammmme!!
Same they look alike
My favorite saying is "evey child deserves parents. Not every parent deserves a child"
It was your "Foster Care and Adoption Story" video on Crazy Middles that was the first video I ever saw of theirs. It was what introduced me to you and you're entire Keep It Crazy Family, so videos like this have a special place in my heart!
Me too!
Thats the first one I watched too!
me too
I remember hearing your story on your moms channel and getting super emotional, I can’t imagine what your sibling group and your other siblings went through. You’re family has inspired me to adopt in the future!
I also want to adopt in the future. I want to adopt someone with a disability considering I have a disability, and I bett those are some of the last ones to go since they require more care.
“That is when I meet my parents”
Me: starts sobbing
hii lacey! i love when you said that shelly and garred were your mom and dad. my biological father was never in my life. my step dad raised me from the age of 6. everyone always tells me that “oh he’s not your dad though” but he raised me and has been there. i’m happy i’m not the only one who thinks that way. i love your channel by the way! 🤍🥺
i’ve heard your story 5+ times but this made me cry. i’m so happy you are with your parents
Omg you poor babies. Praise god for your Maternal grandparents and the teachers who flagged things with CPS. I’m very happy to hear you found your forever parents
St. Bernard was the dog breed 💜 Great dogs....gentle giants 💜💜
My brother is obbessed with that dog
I remember listening to that movie years ago, but I don't know what the title was to try and find it again. I remember the movie I watched was where some mean woman owned the Mom of the dogs and the person who owned them was upset that the family took in Beethoven and the puppies. Then I remember the dad of the house hearing the dogs, and the kids trying to trick the dad by saying the barking was coming from outside rather than the basement.
Very clear summary! You can be proud of who you have become!
I was adopted as a one year old myself. More than fifty years ago and I only got to know my birth mom when I was 40. Slowly but surely hearing the story why I was given up for adoption!
I was adopted on 12/12/2001 and I grew up with my 4 biological brothers and we all reconnected with our sister but it's nice seeing that you and your sister and your brother got a second chance at life 🥰
I was adopted on 12/6 and I’m 12. Idk if i have any bio siblings. I’m happy u reconnected!
i was adopted no joke the exact same day as you and year. crazy!
@@kailijanusch me or Lauren lol?
@@emmamori5116 oops sorry @laurengobel
@@emmamori5116 I pray that you love your new family and are living a wonderful life. May God bless you and your entire family!
You an amazing young beautiful girl! May God bless you and take good care of you!
Wow! I think it’s awesome that your parents were really adamant about taking sibling groups. That’s so beautiful.
I hope everyone is safe ,healthy , happy,and having a wonderful day
I am 51 and was adopted by two wonderful parents. God Bless the adopters!
Your adoption story is so beautiful. There were more happy memories from the pre-Wallace years included this time. That's good that you have some of those too. I'm glad you've reconnected with bio family that has helped you piece things together. You are a strong, confident, and beautiful young woman. You should be so proud!!!
The first video I saw on your family’s channel was you talking about your foster care and adoption story! It’s so nice to have seen how much you’ve grown since then x
I really admire you for being so open about your adoption story, I'm sure it will help a lot of people in similar situations 🥰
I loved that you shared the new part of your story you recently learned. I’m glad you are able to reconnect with some of your bio family and they are able to help you fill in those gaps of your story. I’m sure it’s also been helpful to hear about your bio mom since you have likely been curious.
I’m so glad that you are able to open up to us about your life and let us in. It has to be hard sharing a whole life story where you end up in foster care and then find the forever ones!! You were meant to be in Shelly and Jared’s family
WE are so blessed to have YOU all in our lives! ❤️ We love you guys and love seeing you all grow so successfully!
love you kyrie!!
Oh my, the struggle was real for you and both of your siblings. So glad that angels in the form of Shelly and Jarrod DO exist. You are blessed girl! 💝
Really great to hear the full story from the beginning, such a jouney you guys hsve been on, just so amazing that you now hsve a forever family you can call your own......and with your story, you can help so many others out there struggling on their own journey..... You truly are amazing Lacey....God has amazing plans for you.... Keep shining, always🙏🏻..... Much love ❤️🇿🇦❤️
when i first heard lizzie tell the story on the crazy middle channel i cried thats so said you all had to clean your clothes in the lake and hide them for school and cody forgot one day and got hit in the ear for it. glad you could get out of that .
Shelly and jerod are such amazing people for doing everything they have done for so many amazing kids
You are so strong Lacey , keep your head because you are going to make such a big impact on this world . I thank you for being able to tell your story.
I also went through some trauma as a child growing up now I’m 22 and I look at it as it made me a stronger person and made me want to do so much better for me and my 2 kids I have now .. your story was short , sweet and simple . Love it !!
So nice of your maternal grandparents to do what they could, so glad you found a wonderful forever family 💙
I totally saw a sparkle in your eyes and a great big smile when you were talking about your mom and dad. You are so blessed and so are they. 💗
You"re so Blessed the Crazy Middles family were for you because that was the God's Will! You're so Lovely girl!
Girl! You are so strong!❤️ I can't even imagine going through this. Shelly and Jared(Idk if the spelling is correct) are doing an incredible job and inspiring others to do so! I'm so glad for you and all your siblings and cousins who found their actual forever home❤️ and overcame their hardships. You originally belonged to this fam only❤️.
Hope this makes you happy, but when I started watching Crazy Middles I thought you were a natural born child to Jarod and Shelley. I was a little shocked you weren’t. Love watching you grow into adulthood.
It breaks my heart that you had to go through so much at such a young age. Seeing how your life has changed and how everything worked out for the better is truly an inspiration ♥️
Wow. This is super awesome that u found Jared and Shelley because u definitely deserved a loving home that they totally provided for u and ur siblings. I love ur story.
I am very sorry that you had to deal with so much as a child. I truly hope you have truly healed from this 🙏 💜
Some of your story I had not heard even on the Crazy Middles channel that I remember but all three of you are so very lucky that you were given the chance to be with Jared and Shelly because it has been such a great life for all of you.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It sucks that any kids have to go into foster care, but some times, it really is for the best if you're lucky enough to have great parents and families that truly love you.
Thank you for being so open, very brave to open up. So happy you found stability with your family x
Could u maybe make a video with cody where he explains the situation from his view? Maybe combined with a vlog or something like that :)
I loved hearing your story Lacey!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Love you and your family so much!!
I put myself in your shoes as you told your story and you have just got me crying here! I'm sorry your early life was tough. I think you have adjusted well. I'm curious if your paternal grandmother ever faced charges? Jared and Shelly are angels on Earth. People like them don't get enough recognition. They are literally changing the world.❤
What a lovely lady you have become! And what a kind God to place you in a stable loving home! So glad you three got to stay together.
Thank you for sharing your story!! I believe it's very helpful for other children who are currently in foster care, or in a bad situation in their family and maybe will need to get placed with a foster family. I think hearing you talk about your past and how everything got better will help them feel better! And to the rest of us, it's a reminder to be thankful for the good we have, and that even if you're dealt a bad hand, you can play your cards right and go sooo far just like you and all of your family!
Hats off to the courage u showed in all these years.. your hard life made u a very confident great Lacey 💗💗
so happy you and Cody and Lizzie got your happily ever after!
Lacey. You are so inspirational. Keep doing what you are doing
you have the most amazing parents ever!!!! Also, you are blessed for having the amount of siblings you have!!!!!!! 💕❤️
So extremely happy for you to have a happy ever after family❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your story so inspires me to want to adopt from foster care a sibling set. I was raised in a very bad situation drugs and sexual abuse and never taken from it so I had to run away from it myself as a teenager. And I feel so guilty leaving my siblings behind. I wish now I had the courage to of seeked help for my siblings and myself. However I do have my happy ever after because of my wonderful husband of 11 years that God has blessed me with. So I pray that we can get in the position to be able to adopt from foster since we have no children of our own. Love you and your family! Thank you for your transparency of your life story truly inspiring ❤️ God bless you always!
Am really happy that u was adopt by people who love u and wont hurt u and take care of u
You are so strong to tell your story,I cried the whole time because that's the same story of my 4 daughters
I am sorry your daughters went through that. Along with that, it is a joy and a blessing that you took them in. After all, one of the things the Lord said in the final judgement is I was a stranger and you invited me in. He said assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to the least of my bretheren you did it to me. God bless you and your entire family!
Lacey! You are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! ❤️
I remember when you guys had stayed with us for like 3 weeks when stuff went south for your bio dad, he was dating some lady and she was pregnant… my mom was helping him to try to help you guys until he exploded on my mom and he ended up having to leave.. my mom would help your bio dad and his siblings as a kid… you are amazing and I’m so happy to see you in a better spot and you have such a good life now.
My husband and I are interested in adopting out of foster care, and I want to thank you for sharing your story! It’s so helpful to hear from the kids in these situations and not just the parents.
You are definitely blessed to have your parents and siblings. I'm so happy they adopted you.
This is making cry I’m so sorry y’all were treated that way but I’m glad you and your siblings finally in amazing place in life
Lacey I am so happy for you guy's all 3 of you Just know God had his hands an still does in your life. Beautiful
Just started watching a few months ago but I know that your parents have huge hearts and lots of love for all their children. Love seeing all the keep it crazy families (crazy pieces and middles and your channel). So happy you and your brother and sister have a great family now that loves you all so much.
Thank you for sharing your story. You were so blessed to have lovely memories of your childhood. It was a blessing and meant to be that you went to Jared and Shelly. Love your channel and theirs.
I'm so glad your mom and dad made sure they knew the really only wanted siblings and you didnt have to be split up .. you have amazing Parents.. but you are amazing young women and I know you make them proud parents .. also you are so beautiful just wanted to make sure you knew that lol..
So glad you three got to stay together. They try to keep siblings together as much as possible, unfortunately that isn't always the case.
Thank you so much for sharing your story!! We love you lacey❤️❤️😄
It be cool see You and Cynthia morning routine but she films it at home and you film yours at your house. Then put all clips together and fix it. post it on TH-cam but you don’t have too thought, just a suggestion if you need a video idea. ❤️
Thank you for sharing Lacey, you really have matured into a Lovely young Woman. Fate stepped in to save you 3 . And Now your grown up and starting Adult lives. ❤❤❤. So Happy for you.
Aww, this was a super cute video! Thx for sharing!
I’m so glad you guys found your forever family. Also I noticed how you didn’t bash your bio parents/family and you understand hwy
Thank you for sharing your story! So so glad you found Shelly & Jarrod! Good for you & your siblings!
I’ve watched so many of crazy middles videos but I’ve never heard your story told this way. Thanks for sharing it from your perspective!
Thank you again for sharing your foster / adoption story Lacey.
If I heard you right as you said you were born on May 20 ... I was not aware that we have the same birthday but definitely I am older by 24 years this 2021, i will be turning 43. That 's why I love your personality. 😊😊😊
You know I love yours, Crazy Middles, Crazy Pieces and your cousins YT channels because I can relate to all your stories. The big dog in the movie Bethoven you were referring is a Saint Bernard dog. Glad to hear you are reconnecting to some of your family. I believe GOD had made sure you guys end up with your current family for all the things you've experienced. 🙏
Much 💕 from the Philippines.
You are so strong and still do positive it’s amazing
I just want to let you know that I think you and your whole family are all brave. You all have different stories, and even different sides to your stories, but they ALL end in the same way-- becoming a Wallace (aka the Crazy Middles).
I'm looking into doing foster care (into adoption) and am just starting the paperwork process.
I wish you the best of luck and lots of love to you and the Keep it crazy family.
Thank you for sharing. You could not have asked for better parents and they could not have asked for a better daughter. Happy Living!!
It was meant to be for you to be Shelly and Jared's child. You are very mature for your age, be PROUD of yourself 💗💗
You were meant to be with your forever Mom and Dad! BTW, the dog in Beethoven was a St Bernard, I love that dog breed, would love to have one but it gets too hot here and they are cold weather dogs..
I am happy you have Jared and Shelly and I’m also happy you are able to reconnect with some of your biological family. Both are so important.
💕
Family is not only by blood but by Love❤️ i love your family vlogs! It inspire me a lot. After what you’ve been through, you deserve all this!
Lacey ive said it before and I'll say it again its crazy how much you all look alike.. if someone didn't know who was adopted and who wasn't I honestly think people would find it very difficult to work it out if they put all your siblings and all your cousin's (crazy pieces) together you honestly wouldn't be able to work out who was bio children and who was adopted children xx
ikr, just like with Savannah and Crystal over on crazy pieces! x
@@kittyisabel6076 all the kids from the crazy middles and crazy pieces are definitely where they belong they're all a mixture of each parent or aunt or uncle or another cousin xx
She looks so much like crystal, halie, and savannah its really crazy
Some of the cousins look like biological siblings. Like for me at least, Savannah and Lizzy looks alike, Cynthia and Hannah looks super similar like how people thought Hannah and Cynthia, Melinda and Destiny looks similar when Destiny had blonde hair. That’s all very true tho if you put them all together. Would love that for a family picture and see.
@@LolaWeatherly it would be amazing to see all the cousins in one picture xx
I followed you from your family's channel. I didn't know that your dad was raised in foster care. I'm sorry that he didn't break the cycle. Love your sweet bubbly personality! You will do well in life. 😊
It was a sad story to become a really happy story! I’m glad, that Shelly and Jared have a mission keeping siblings together. When I started watching crazy middles, I always thought you three were biological children to them. When Lizzy is 18, in July.. I hope that you can meet your step mom and two half siblings that you, Cody and Lizzy have together. From crazy pieces vlog, I saw your mom’s siblings and mom.. they all look like such fun and happy and loving people from the video Meet my bio family on crazy pieces because I don’t see your mom vlogging them at all that’s why I said crazy pieces. Also glad you felt very confident for sharing your story again Lacey!! Also, did you and Cynthia get your 100K play bottom? If not, you both should open over FaceTime. Love you Lacey! You are beautiful like always and have a great day. ❤️
Which son just had a baby boy? Who's his siblings?
@@reneegoodin1317
his name is Weston and his biological brother is Spencer. Spencer usually hangs with Cynthia a lot
@@reneegoodin1317 I'm assuming your new? If so I suggest you to watch all of their old videos🙂
Love you Lacey! Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️
Your an amazing person Lacey! Keep being you! Much love! ❤❤
My mom grew up in fostercare and describes that she has lived two lives too!
I love sit down videos like this from you. Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you for opening up to all of us and telling us your story. I’m so glad that you have such a loving family now. You deserve it all.
You're the best Lacey

Lacey you and all your siblings are such true inspirations !!!!
