Nothing hurts more than seeing someone with deep family issues. I understand them so deeply and it’s actually so painful. Everyone acts like fostering is the better tomorrow but it needs so much reform.
I just watched the movie based on Miss Regina and I literally was falling apart. I stopped the movie and came to research Miss Regina and found this. My heart is exploding with pain triggers of my childhood and being a crumpled up child thrown away into a failed system for orphans and children abandoned. I am working on writing finishing publishing my mom's and I lost story. Regina has given me the rivers rage in my ocean of disheartenment and lost hope of ever being loved the way my mom would of if she did not die leaving me her seven year old daughter to this world of cold and unloving humans.
30 years of pain & missed happy healthy moments & a life with a loving mother that she will never get back. Peace’s comes with forgiveness & that isn’t easy so Regina is immensely strong, resilient, beautiful, graceful. May God continue to bless her & her mother Jean 💓
Just watched her gem of a movie with tears in my eyes. God brought these two together after such a long journey. ❤ Jeanne planting those seeds of unconditional love and confidence in Regina has made what could’ve been a tragic story into a beautiful and inspiring story.
It just goes to show you that anybody can love a child isn't it funny that some of us only look at the color of one's skin but God words tells us he looks at our hearts because he knows exactly who we are on the inside and he alone has the ability to love us completely and we also have the ability to love each other too if we choose to it was a wonderful movie I enjoyed watching it with my family my eyes were filled with tears the ending was beautiful she finally got to become her mother & adopt her and made her daughter God bless...🙏
Woman of GOD!!! I wrecked when I watched the movie of how her story really touched me. I cried like a baby but the Lord had his hands wrapped around her, and gave her double for her troubles!!!!! I say triple! Something about the way she speaks really speaks to my spirit!! I am thankful for your story and how much you love the Lord. You are an inspiration!
The one fact that made me upset through the movie… Is that the black lady in charge of the foster home was making all the things against Regina. She was so attached to her little mentality of separation, while the other lady , the one that wanted Regina so much with love and desperation in her heart. I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️, but being racist is a two ways street.., We need to reflect as society. It’s my humble opinion as a south American girl 👧🏻… That’s my opinion …
Welcome to racism in America hurt people hurt people. There is no colorism or racism in South America ? Now think about that question before you answer because racism is happening all over the world .
Your opinion is shrouded in ignorance. First, you don't know what racism is. Racism is the practice of the racial group in power denying human and civic rights, material resources, educational access, and an overall quality of life towards the racial group who isn't in power. Those who are the agents and beneficiaries of that power system who benefit from it and complicit are racists. Black people have not created nor sustained a power system to oppress any racial group including white people.
Next, peer reviewed academic research has supported that Black children who are adopted by Black family do better than children adopted by white people. That's typical. That court wasn't going by the white woman is a racially inferior person and using that to deny her adoption! The court was going by sound scholarly supported evidence and took into consideration culture and shared experience. Being rooted in your cultural identity is very necessary and important to have a healthy self esteem and positive self regard. This woman's story is the exception and not the rule. Many Black children adopted by White people have told of the challenges they go through and problems they experienced. This is one story and an exception. So, kill that racism on both sides talk. It's ridiculous.
It’s so true. All children need love. My mom was a victim of child abandonment back in the 50s. She still remembers the sting of her parents dropping her and her 2 siblings to a married couple who were friends with her dad. It took years that she told me from the age of 6-9 , he sexually abused her. She also felt like no one cared about her. Sadly, it took me decades and maturity to really understand my mom. Kids know and don’t forget how u treat them. Back in that era, there was a lot of ignorance. It’s sad but the only way things change is when something drastic happens, either someone is damaged mentally or died or some action that remove blinder’s from people’s eyes.
Ms. Regina Louise I'm so proud of you. You are amazing. And I love you. 😘 "When our mother and father forsake us, the Lord will take us up." KJV The Lord has blessed you with a forgiving heart. Although many do, I don't think it is morally right for a parent to pursue a dream over caring for a child who is too young to care for themselves. Especially without securing someone else to take care of that child. With that said, I don't think the Lord honored his pursuit. I sure never heard of him or his music. But I will admit that your perspective of not holding it against him for pursuing his dream is healthy and commendable. But most of all supernatural. I am very impressed that you waited for the right person to portray you in the film. Angela Fairley's portrayal was gripping! She embodied the pain that you suffered. She was divinely appointed to play this role because Angela Fairley became you. I could not stop crying. I'm so happy those days of pain and rejection are behind you. I believe you are an inspiration for foster children all over the world. I too was a foster child at an early age. But never in the system. I got passed around from one aunt to another. Until: A great aunt who I had bonded with wanted to adopt me. Fortunately she instilled Christian values in me. She taught me to pray every night at bedtime. And took me to church. But by that time my mother decided to retrieve me. By then she was married and had another child, a son. I was about 5 or 6. But we never bonded. I never felt loved by her. However, with time, like you I had to recognize and accept that there was something inadequate in her and try not to take it too personal. Not allow her issues to define me. But they were hard chapters to live through. But: "The Lord gives us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness." KJV
I understand this movie and I gave birth to a child and my mom God rest. Her soul took her under her wing and NOW my grandma took on the role of her life but my own teenager asked me why don't you want me I told her I do but my expenses are well we both are on social security income and my grandma told me I was not going use her this child as a pawn but we both want to be in each other life but Money shortage is the problem I was not even able to buy anything for Christmas cause my money went to rental and Bills I was left with $2 so I pray that I will be able to get paid stimulus Money for 2022 cause I will make it up to her and pay other things off and put for Bigger apartment 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
I am praying for you but don't forget to take her or him and spend time with your child every chance you get because mommy times are always special. I lost that as a child from my mom it hard to get it back, I love my mom but I am still hurting for the lost of my childhood memories with my grandmother is not enough 💔 😢 God bless you sister.
Hi not to be in your business but did everything work out for you cause I’m on social security benefits and have three kids now I started out with just my 1 who is 16 now and when she was 11 I got pregnant with my 2nd child which 4 now and then 2 years later with my 3rd which is 2 now and I’m here to tell you that I did it with social security benefits for just that one for years I worked at a temp not making over what my check was and still paid bills and took care of all my child needs and holidays make it happen I had help from my mom and her dad but I still did a lot on my own and was determined to make it happen and now that she is 16 and I have the two toddlers I’m still on social security and make a lot happen with my mom still and they dad but I hope everything worked out for you and your daughter cause it’s not about what you can’t provide it’s the time and your daughter would’ve been happy with that cause my 16 year old didn’t care about much but time and still the same now
I wish the hosts had prepared more for this interview. It felt like they were just trying to meet the segment time limit. I wanted to know if you ever got her records? Did any of the hatefilled adults get their karma?
To God be the glory!! She is God's child and she is AMAZING!!!

U know she got back double in her life that taking God gave her who he know she need in her life
Woman of GOD!!! I wrecked when I watched the movie of how her story really touched me. I cried like a baby but the Lord had his hands wrapped around her, and gave her double for her troubles!!!!! I say triple! Something about the way she speaks really speaks to my spirit!! I am thankful for your story and how much you love the Lord. You are an inspiration!
I believe the Foster care system should be overhauled. And certain Social workers should just be fired and prosecuted for all the evil they’ve done
I agree with you 💯

Good afternoon
I am pround of you..
Is this the show wit robin roberts produce
I wish the hosts had prepared more for this interview. It felt like they were just trying to meet the segment time limit. I wanted to know if you ever got her records? Did any of the hatefilled adults get their karma?
I would be very upset with a parent who abandoned me. Period! 😠 And the system is broken!
Was the segment too short? Maybe
If its meant be Its up to me
The froster care system makes me so stinking mad
I wonder if she got to see her siblings
