I’m adopted. I only seeked out my biological father to confirm my blackness. With that being said my mom and dad are the ones who raised me. I really had no desire to connect with my biological family. You’re a good dad stay strong.
Me too girl! I was adopted from Haiti and am so grateful my biological parents giving me and my brother up so we could have a fighting chance. My parents not only gave me a childhood I couldn’t have even wished for (it was amazing), but they are the ones who gave me a bed, clothes/shoes, security and unconditional love since the first moment we came together. I can’t believe how blessed I was that their hearts told them to adopt me and my brother, we were always meant to be theirs 💝
My mom was so loving, but she had so serious mental health issues and she had to leave us and she went to a mental hospital. We visited her there as much as we're allowed to. We loved her so much and my dad tough us to love her too. Her brain was sick...not her body. I love her and I raised her with my children. She needed to be raised. Why I don't know but, I did it for her, because I always loved her and I would do ANYTHING for her.
Im glad your there for him Peter.Ive gone through this with children I helped in Atlanta as an advocate.I hope this visit goes well for him so I'm going to stay positive and just be glad for him that he has you any way this goes!
Yes they are adorable 😄. But everyone, even children should wear sunglasses, especially now. Sun exposure is why we develop Cataracts. It may be that Peter knows this and is protecting his children's eyesight, or it may be that the children just like wearing sunglasses 😎😎. Ideally, we should be wearing sunglasses and hats from infancy. I'm in my mid sixties, I wish I had begun wearing them sooner, but I did begin wearing hats in my teens, and sunglass clips on my eyeglasses at 39 when they were available to me. I don't have cataracts yet. I'm sure I will at some point, my eye doctor says they are inevitable, but I can minimize the damage. So I never step outside without sunglasses and a hat. I developed a nice hat collection. 😃

@@JessieI I still say it's to protect their identity.
You know, it could be, anything is possible and Peter never says why. Amazingly, large sunglasses do seem to provide enough disguise many times. Apparently humans need to see a full face to make a good ID. But in cases where someone is well known, sunglasses are not always enough, ask celebrities if they always work 😆. I doubt Peter can hide these two from anyone who presently knows them, but it's probable that when they are adults these videos will not identify them very well, if at all. Few people resemble their childhood photos.
Yes, it could be so. Only Peter knows. Humans definitely struggle to identify people without seeing a full face. Covering either the bottom or top half presents a problem for us. Sunglasses may not be a perfect disguise, ask celebrities 😄, but they're better than nothing, ya? People who know the kids now are likely to recognize them even with the sunglasses. However, because most of us do not very much resemble our childhood selves, these sunglasses may provide an extra layer of protection/disguise for them when they are adults.

You are such a great dad. I see how it’s nerve racking but you have created a safe place for him, always. I’m sure he appreciates the unconditional love.
I cried and cried. 1. My son moved away for a great job and I miss him every...single...moment. I live alone. 2. My son is adopted and it broke my heart and chocked my throat when I told him he didn’t come from my tummy but came from another lady’s tummy. One day, he will travel abroad to meet her and it will equally break my heart because I won’t be there. My son is 21 next month.
Peter I really feel for you. Our daughter was placed with us as a foster placement aged 15 months and adopted at 6 and 2 months. When she was about 10 or 11 I woke up one morning just knowing she was 'on loan' to us and on her 18th birthday her biological grandparents, who had become part of our family, passed on a letter from her biological mother and that started a horrendous few years until finally now we are totally estranged. I was 'used' to care for our grandson for most of his 9 years of life, and for that I am very grateful and I would give anything to havd her back in my life. She even denied I was her mother when I was in a shop with her and that hurt .e so much. I know as foster/adoptive parents we are supposed to be so happy when they reunite but what happens to us, who cares how we feel when our child goes off to someone who is really a stranger to them. I so hope you have a better outcome than I did.x
Very sad Almost ungrateful... But at least you did your best, this is what must people fear. All that dedication through the hard times, love and look after them until they become productive adults and then the biological parents who sometimes caused pain and neglect gets the reward of a balanced young adult. Seems unfair to me, but that’s life...
Unfortunately that's what happens in some cases adopted kids you raise to adulthood and then they move on with their life from adopted parents, and some of them to bio parents that literally didn't raise them, they weren't there for them glowing up when they needed some one when they wanted a parent at activities when they were sick who was there there adopted parents, but then the bio parents get to do the adult stuff just visit with the kids from time to time grandkids sorry you don't get to do that stuff, maybe you should ask what you did wrong that they don't want you in their life now, cuz it was nothing then why can't they have both adopted parents and bio parents in their life.
You are such a sweet man and great father ! It is so scary to let our kids go off in the world! He knows he has a safe loving home to come home to. Sending you a big hug! ❤️
It’s touching to see how attached the little ones are to Zay, you can tell they have a strong bond. And Peter, props to you for letting him have this is experience and supporting him unconditionally 🖤 this type of support and encouragement is so necessary
I hope it works out for Zay, but I wish she spoken with you before he left. Just as a sign of respect. It's been 4 long years. That's a long time. I think it's important to have communication between you, Peter. I hope for Zay's sake it goes well. But I do hope he comes back. A stable environment is so important.
Peter is the best father on social media. Wow I'm amazed at how wonderful he is. What a blessing for these beautiful children. The tears in his eyes talking on the way to drop him off is heart wrenching bc he wants to be happy for him but loves him so much he has all the fears of a great parent. 😢
You sir, are such a respectable man. You have the balanced emotional and rational love and temper restraint that a lot of people can only dream of! Hat off to you, sir!
It’s fantastic to see how much you impart in these kids' lives. I remember when you remodeled Zay’s bedroom, and he jumped on you to hug you. He feels ready to see his mom because of the security, support, and love you gave him. Now he knows that he is known. Your support during this time says it all. Have fun, Zay! We hope to see you soon.
You can tell how much Xavier is loved by how sad the kids were when he left. Peter bless you for being so supportive of Xavier. I pray his trip went smoothly.
With such short notice, you handled it well. What Zay may not have understood at the time is that you also need time to process the reunion. Not that you didn’t want it to happen, but you also needed time to process what was happening, to go over your questions, to have time to even think of your questions, to reassure yourself that you raised him well, and time to get used to the idea of letting go. You’re such a rock for these kids. I think they forget that you’re human, too.
The hardest part for a parent... Is letting go, on their life yourney.. no matter how old they are.. I recognize, the showering of loving advises, you as a parent give the kids. You are their safety net. And they know it. But.... they will never, ever forget this showering advise, filled with love and safety. You are a great and loving parent, too your kids. They will always remember.. that you gave them a good start, into their upcomming adult life.. 🙏🥰
Just my personal opinion she could have ask to talk to Peter for some insight at least. Yes his a adult! Bu his living with someone be grateful 🙏. Happy for him ❤
So true! She should be grateful & respectful enough to at least ask to speak with Peter first. Someone who has been caring for your child fantastically for 2 years. Zay is a complete new person from when he arrived at Peter's. Well done Peter. Zay, we love you so much and just in case you see this, please stay safe and don't rush things. Please, take Peter into confidence next time and don't spring a surprise like this on him next time. Do respect his feelings as your Dad. Just one night is not enough to tell your Dad you're travelling about 8 hours to see your Mum you haven't seen since you were 12/13 to spend a week. You're such a sweet boy and we all can see it. So please don't let Mum or someone else come in between you and your Beloved Dad Peter. Its ok to build back your relationship with your Mum but do it right & slowly. Sending prayers & loads of love to you all. 🙏💙💙💙💕🙏
Hope his mom will appreciate his independence, treat and speak to him as an adult, respect and listen also appreciate his opinions. If even he decides to stay, you have given him a great foundation and positive advice. He will not forget you
Ok I decided that you need a WARNING LABEL SAYING YOU WILL CRY ON ALMOST EVERY POST. It's a good cry that shows you care about this family n you r just human. These are lives that are really CHANGED FOR THE BEST. EVERY FOLSTER SHOULD USE THIS AS A MODEL ON HOW TO. GOD BLESS ANYONE THAT DOES THIS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, 5 years! This will be an intense experience for both Zay and his mother! I'm really happy for him and I commend you, Peter, for helping him along the way of becoming a man. You and the rest of the family have given him the stability he needs to shine! ❤💖💖
Peter what I really love about you is your concern for the children that you have in your life and how much you love them completely but most of all you respect their feelings and decisions they make for their lives. What a wonderful blessed person you are 💝💓💝
Peter is a big teddy bear. I used to kiss my adult kids on their heads like he just did. So happy no one is perfect i hope he n his moma gas a great bonding time. God Bless
This video is a year old, but in the time he's been with you, you showed him how family life 'SHOULD BE'. He's old enough now to observe and realize what the situation is that he's in. He now has some 'Good Life Experiences' to compare to and judge a situation/s and he'll know how to handle his own life situations going forward. As a parent, you can teach them, but what they do with the info is on them going forward. I LOVE that you stressed and made sure he knows that you will ALWAYS HAVE HIS BACK, and 'You need me, I'm there!"
When you love something, set it free…” I know you are going through so many emotions and love does that.❤️ Your love for your children and their love for you is apparent and solid! You’ve done a great job, Peter. It’ll be ok. You’ll see! Hugs! 🤗
We love you and your children God has given you a mantal to gather the chicks together heal love and let go in their best interest but still a home to always have you dear sir are a true father God bless and keep you safe 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just watched the premiere. I have mixed feelings about this. Of course I hope it all goes well. I hope his mother has surrounded herself with good people and has a nice boyfriend. I thought Zay wanted to go to community college? Or maybe a trade school? He is such a great kid. We just want to protect him. You are an awesome person and father Peter!
I have many mixed feelings. I don't know the situation as to why he's not with his mom. Mom is a nurse with a fiancé. Zay is a wonderful young man who seems to know what he wants to do as a career. And of course he's 18 now. I am thinking positive and praying for Zay. Peter has been such a perfect dad for him. I can't wait for an update. I'm a nervous wreck. And Peter is also. The little ones already miss him. Where was Anthony?
@@mariafulton1213 Peter is too busy living out his fantasy to not notice that an 18 year old boy should be holding an 8 year old girl that way and at all as far as that goes and she in not his sister and even if she was his sister, no holding her in his lap......PERIOD....PS...did you hear the little girl asked to sit in his lap when they get back in the car?
i will pray for you and him. I was able to adopt my son when he was 2 1/2. The relationship had tough times and his choosing to see his birth mother when he turned 18 was disastrous in many respects. My heart aches for him, but I am paying a price for her actions of the last 54 years. So, again, I will be praying for all of you.❤❤❤❤
Good-luck, Zay! I hope you enjoy your time with your mom! May it be a joyful and safe trip! It's wonderful how supportive you are, Peter! I hope you get lots of happy calls from Zay while he's away - letting you know he's fine. Lots of Love, Jaden XXXOOO
It’s true, what Peter said. Even when these kids parents do bad things they love them. And that’s the heartbreaking part. But Peter gets that and that’s so important to help these kids through it. They are in the best home.
Peter you are a good person, this mother should have involved you, the disrespect that she has shown is inexcusable. She is a nurse, as a healthcare worker myself I am appalled at her approach, she gives others care but!! Nuff said. I left an abusive marriage with four children, I was there for my children through thick and thin, I hope she is not recognizing him now because he is in the lime light, for the mighty 💰 Zay should have also told you that he was speaking to his mother, he is living in your house, I recognize he is going to be 19, I hate the despise that is being shown to Peter, that does not sound right. Honesty is so important. SNEAKY MOTHER PASSED IT ON.
Though I love Zay, I felt the same. I was quite angry that Peter wasn’t involved in the arrangements. I’m not even Peter, but I feel hurt and used after involving my emotions. Thank God Peter has a heart of gold. I wouldn’t stomach it tbh.
I also expected the mother to be the one and talk to Peter before she made her arrangements. Its kinder annoying that some people take others for granted
@@kyererebrendahatukunda1370 INDEED. The boy is smart for himself, I’m sure Peter sees what this young man is up to. I hope he does. Peter is a level headed man life has taught him a lot, he sees through this young man. My opinion, he is doing Peter a FAVOUR, because he could have turned out differently in Peters home even though Peter was a good mentor to him, let his mother deal with him moving forward.
Peter.. I hear LOVE when you express yourself.. May God continue to implant that in you and allow you allow them Grow. They sure will NEVER forget you.
Look at the "love" that 18 year old shows holding that little 8 year old girl in his lap. It was also cute that the little girl asked to sit in his lap when they get back in the car.
@@bessieking3797 I was being sarcastic...That 18 year old man boy should not be holding that little girl on his lap like that..wtf....that's not his sister and even if it was his sister, I would put a stop to it......that man boy was enjoying that. It was crouch to crouch as he held her tight.....UNACCEPTABLE......PERIOD.
I was able to see transparently how much you love Xavier today. I always knew you did but I was happy to see how much you really do love him. I always thought he was the luckiest kid to have gotten moved away to go live with you. Bless your hearts and thank you for sharing.
Gee Peter...you wanted to cry...I did too. It really is tough. Over this time I've been following you & you kids, I also have begun to feel protective over them- & I am miles away! So I can't imagine how you are really feeling inside. I do hope that Zay enjoys time with his Mom- he is such a lovely boy & so deserving of all things good.
What protection do you feel for that little girl being held that way by that 18 year old boy? She also wanted to sit in his lap when they get back in the car. "he is such a lovely boy & so deserving of all things good" He don't get to have a lap dance from an 8 year old girl wiggling in his lap.
@@evonne437 I noticed that closeness as well, but with some discomfort. Perhaps better that he's gone before there'd be an undesirable relationship between the young man And his half sister. Some nasty things happen in life. As a parent you have to be sensitive to how children relate. Life is full of good as well as negative spirits.
@@maqangazamanyezile218 First...I don't know if any of these are real brothers and sister same parents. If Peter adopted them, they are still not brother and sister as we know the meaning. All this family love talk doesn't stop me from saying something when it comes to little girls. I know he is gone for now, but I bet Peter will let him come back. Peter needs to talk to the little girl about jumping in men's lap especially if he is going to dress her in booty shorts and dresses and swimsuits.
To see you fighting back the tears and sadness after Zay got on the bus and then when you were sitting in your “safe place” made me want to cry with you. But it just shows that you are doing a wonderful job being the BEST DAD and bringing these beautiful ones into your heart and home and showing them what a parent should be like. Thank you Peter for sharing with us a little vulnerability and that you are a loving dad. Sending Zay prayers and love on his travel and his destination. I truly hope that his experience turns out to be positive and helps him with maturing and becoming more of a man and person. Your imprint on him will definitely guide him through life. Much love to you Peter and family
I think you did the right thing. He is 18 years old and considered an adult so he should as much as possible make that journey on his own...however, I admire your consistent support of the kids! It's true...our children, no matter the age, will always be our children!
You are the most caring honest Dad to your kids .Your understanding & passion towards what they do is above 110% . I always enjoy watching your family .
Peter, you are an amazing man, father, and brother in Christ. Your love for your children is a wonderful example of how parents, siblings and families should be. Thank you for sharing your journey, Brandi and Mark
You are so Amazing!!! I can see how those kids respond to you and the needed attention you give them. You are a Treasure; wish there were more people like you.
Oh how I cried watching this ... So happy, scared and excited for Zay.... Peter you're simply a beautiful human!! God bless, you are all in my prayers ❤️
I felt your feelings. Fear, sadness, mixed feelings. Praying for you and Zay. You did a good job protecting him and teaching him good things. It's hard to let go. Now is the time to have faith and Trust God with all of your heart. Pray that Zay has discernment as he visits his mom and has an exit strategy if need to be. I'm glad you kept pressing him to call you. I'm glad you got his mom's number. Hope and prayers.
@@FosterDadFlipper I know I wish I could hug your fear away. I've never had children and I know God only let's us borrow children for a little while, but it's just so scary these days to be any kind of parent. Please let us know how he's doing. Thanks for sharing today so we can pray for you. I've been an aunt and a teacher, but never a parent. I just wonder why he chose to go so fast. I hope he wasn't manipulated.
I wish him the very best of the best in this life.That was some good advice.Set no expectations when it comes to people, that way you you don't get hurt. Will miss you Zay!🥺
Zay has grown into such a good brother to the kids. I always notice his awareness, kindness and affectionate interactive qualities with them and also with the dogs. Dad I think you have become his best friend. BTW I get a kick out of your very expressive daughter 😆
What an amazing man Peter is. The world needs more men like him. ❤

I was 'used' to care for our grandson for most of his 9 years of life, and for that I am very grateful and I would give anything to havd her back in my life. She even denied I was her mother when I was in a shop with her and that hurt .e so much. I know as foster/adoptive parents we are supposed to be so happy when they reunite but what happens to us, who cares how we feel when our child goes off to someone who is really a stranger to them. I so hope you have a better outcome than I did.x
Very sad
Almost ungrateful...
But at least you did your best, this is what must people fear.
All that dedication through the hard times, love and look after them until they become productive adults and then the biological parents who sometimes caused pain and neglect gets the reward of a balanced young adult. Seems unfair to me, but that’s life...
I am so sorry for your loss. So painful. Maybe your daughter will come back some day. I hope so. 🙏❤️
Unfortunately that's what happens in some cases adopted kids you raise to adulthood and then they move on with their life from adopted parents, and some of them to bio parents that literally didn't raise them, they weren't there for them glowing up when they needed some one when they wanted a parent at activities when they were sick who was there there adopted parents, but then the bio parents get to do the adult stuff just visit with the kids from time to time grandkids sorry you don't get to do that stuff, maybe you should ask what you did wrong that they don't want you in their life now, cuz it was nothing then why can't they have both adopted parents and bio parents in their life.
So sorry to hear about the pain you must be feeling . A big hug to you both x
I'm so sorry for your pain!
You are such a sweet man and great father ! It is so scary to let our kids go off in the world! He knows he has a safe loving home to come home to. Sending you a big hug! ❤️
It’s touching to see how attached the little ones are to Zay, you can tell they have a strong bond. And Peter, props to you for letting him have this is experience and supporting him unconditionally 🖤 this type of support and encouragement is so necessary
Beautifully said!
The kids are amazing I’m attached to them like they are to me 🥰
This man is a gold, I wish there more of this human being that will take care of more foster children. I love you man so much from my ❤️.
Thank you Peter for the love that you are giving out to them. On behalf of the entire world 🌍, I say thank you.
Thank you for your kind words
Hallelujah! 🙏
You, Sir, have changed these children's lives ❤ you are awesome!!
I hope it works out for Zay, but I wish she spoken with you before he left. Just as a sign of respect. It's been 4 long years. That's a long time. I think it's important to have communication between you, Peter. I hope for Zay's sake it goes well. But I do hope he comes back. A stable environment is so important.
You are a wise man
Peter is the best father on social media. Wow I'm amazed at how wonderful he is. What a blessing for these beautiful children. The tears in his eyes talking on the way to drop him off is heart wrenching bc he wants to be happy for him but loves him so much he has all the fears of a great parent. 😢
You've given him wings, and also a nest to come back to. That's all you can do, papa-bird.
love this! ❤
Thank you for being willing to document this, it's so important ❤️ Love you all
We love you too
You sir, are such a respectable man. You have the balanced emotional and rational love and temper restraint that a lot of people can only dream of! Hat off to you, sir!
When he kissed him on his head,I wanted to cry and I did .GOD Bless this man.
You are a wonderful beautiful example of a terrific human being❤❤❤
It’s fantastic to see how much you impart in these kids' lives. I remember when you remodeled Zay’s bedroom, and he jumped on you to hug you. He feels ready to see his mom because of the security, support, and love you gave him. Now he knows that he is known. Your support during this time says it all. Have fun, Zay! We hope to see you soon.
You can tell how much Xavier is loved by how sad the kids were when he left. Peter bless you for being so supportive of Xavier. I pray his trip went smoothly.
With such short notice, you handled it well. What Zay may not have understood at the time is that you also need time to process the reunion. Not that you didn’t want it to happen, but you also needed time to process what was happening, to go over your questions, to have time to even think of your questions, to reassure yourself that you raised him well, and time to get used to the idea of letting go. You’re such a rock for these kids. I think they forget that you’re human, too.
Yes, I don’t think it was well thought out, the mom should have spoken to Peter. I think Peter is hurt, he just doesn’t want to upset Zay.
The hardest part for a parent...
Is letting go, on their life yourney.. no matter how old they are..
I recognize, the showering of loving advises, you as a parent give the kids.
You are their safety net. And they know it.
But.... they will never, ever forget this showering advise, filled with love and safety.
You are a great and loving parent, too your kids.
They will always remember.. that you gave them a good start, into their upcomming adult life.. 🙏🥰
Wat a great father u r! Ur children r so blessed to have u! U r an angel! I wished all kids could have a parent like u! God bless u and ur children!❤
Just my personal opinion she could have ask to talk to Peter for some insight at least. Yes his a adult! Bu his living with someone be grateful 🙏. Happy for him ❤
So true! She should be grateful & respectful enough to at least ask to speak with Peter first. Someone who has been caring for your child fantastically for 2 years. Zay is a complete new person from when he arrived at Peter's. Well done Peter. Zay, we love you so much and just in case you see this, please stay safe and don't rush things. Please, take Peter into confidence next time and don't spring a surprise like this on him next time. Do respect his feelings as your Dad. Just one night is not enough to tell your Dad you're travelling about 8 hours to see your Mum you haven't seen since you were 12/13 to spend a week. You're such a sweet boy and we all can see it. So please don't let Mum or someone else come in between you and your Beloved Dad Peter. Its ok to build back your relationship with your Mum but do it right & slowly. Sending prayers & loads of love to you all. 🙏💙💙💙💕🙏
@@peejesusc yes thank you I'm not crazy at least
@@lovemidou9619 You're not Dear and thanks for speaking out, I'm with you on this.💕
I have my concerns!!! 🙏
I thought the same, it would have been respectful to Peter.
The other kids are thinking what about my mom. I can feel there hearts. But PETER IS THE BEST MOM/DAD
You're probably right. Even the little guy is probably wondering, "when will I see my mom?"
You're a very kind man God bless you more
Hope his mom will appreciate his independence, treat and speak to him as an adult, respect and listen also appreciate his opinions. If even he decides to stay, you have given him a great foundation and positive advice. He will not forget you
Ok I decided that you need a WARNING LABEL SAYING YOU WILL CRY ON ALMOST EVERY POST. It's a good cry that shows you care about this family n you r just human. These are lives that are really CHANGED FOR THE BEST.
EVERY FOLSTER SHOULD USE THIS AS A MODEL ON HOW TO. GOD BLESS ANYONE THAT DOES THIS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
God bless you, Peter, for being such an AMAZING father figure to all of your foster kids.
Thank God for children instead of going home and crying they would rather go play in the park make themselves happy
ALL I CAN SAY IS GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!! ☦️🙏💕🕊️
You never cease to amaze me. Are you for real ? What a blessing you are to this world Peter ❤
Oh, 5 years! This will be an intense experience for both Zay and his mother! I'm really happy for him and I commend you, Peter, for helping him along the way of becoming a man. You and the rest of the family have given him the stability he needs to shine! ❤💖💖
Peter what I really love about you is your concern for the children that you have in your life and how much you love them completely but most of all you respect their feelings and decisions they make for their lives. What a wonderful blessed person you are 💝💓💝
Your not losing him. You are his safe place and his forever. He will always love you
Peter is a big teddy bear. I used to kiss my adult kids on their heads like he just did. So happy no one is perfect i hope he n his moma gas a great bonding time. God Bless
YES ❤🙏❤
This video is a year old, but in the time he's been with you, you showed him how family life 'SHOULD BE'. He's old enough now to observe and realize what the situation is that he's in. He now has some 'Good Life Experiences' to compare to and judge a situation/s and he'll know how to handle his own life situations going forward. As a parent, you can teach them, but what they do with the info is on them going forward. I LOVE that you stressed and made sure he knows that you will ALWAYS HAVE HIS BACK, and 'You need me, I'm there!"
When you love something, set it free…” I know you are going through so many emotions and love does that.❤️ Your love for your children and their love for you is apparent and solid! You’ve done a great job, Peter. It’ll be ok. You’ll see! Hugs! 🤗
Yes set it free is the best way to love
I am glad he got to see his mom. The more parents the better! I am glad for you and him and his mother ❤️
We love you and your children God has given you a mantal to gather the chicks together heal love and let go in their best interest but still a home to always have you dear sir are a true father God bless and keep you safe 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just watched the premiere. I have mixed feelings about this. Of course I hope it all goes well. I hope his mother has surrounded herself with good people and has a nice boyfriend. I thought Zay wanted to go to community college? Or maybe a trade school? He is such a great kid. We just want to protect him. You are an awesome person and father Peter!
I know he is learning to search what he wants in life and I’m blessed to be part of his journey
its so hard on the kids with these decisions😢 Lord give him Wisdom to make the right decisions!! You did a good job Dad Peter👏👏👏
I have many mixed feelings. I don't know the situation as to why he's not with his mom. Mom is a nurse with a fiancé. Zay is a wonderful young man who seems to know what he wants to do as a career. And of course he's 18 now. I am thinking positive and praying for Zay. Peter has been such a perfect dad for him. I can't wait for an update. I'm a nervous wreck. And Peter is also. The little ones already miss him. Where was Anthony?
@@mariafulton1213 anthony was at camp
@@mariafulton1213 Peter is too busy living out his fantasy to not notice that an 18 year old boy should be holding an 8 year old girl that way and at all as far as that goes and she in not his sister and even if she was his sister, no holding her in his lap......PERIOD....PS...did you hear the little girl asked to sit in his lap when they get back in the car?
i will pray for you and him. I was able to adopt my son when he was 2 1/2. The relationship had tough times and his choosing to see his birth mother when he turned 18 was disastrous in many respects. My heart aches for him, but I am paying a price for her actions of the last 54 years. So, again, I will be praying for all of you.❤❤❤❤
Your an amazing human being. You have the light of Christ beeming all around you.
This is the first video I've watched and I have to say what a wonderful man you are Peter... I'm so moved. Bless you...
Peter that was great advice that you gave Zay not to have any expectations when he meets his mom. Then he won’t be disappointed.
Good-luck, Zay! I hope you enjoy your time with your mom! May it be a joyful and safe trip! It's wonderful how supportive you are, Peter! I hope you get lots of happy calls from Zay while he's away - letting you know he's fine. Lots of Love, Jaden XXXOOO
Thank you for your kind words
Hello how’re you doing?
It’s true, what Peter said. Even when these kids parents do bad things they love them. And that’s the heartbreaking part. But Peter gets that and that’s so important to help these kids through it. They are in the best home.
Peter you are a good person, this mother should have involved you, the disrespect that she has shown is inexcusable. She is a nurse, as a healthcare worker myself I am appalled at her approach, she gives others care but!! Nuff said. I left an abusive marriage with four children, I was there for my children through thick and thin, I hope she is not recognizing him now because he is in the lime light, for the mighty 💰 Zay should have also told you that he was speaking to his mother, he is living in your house, I recognize he is going to be 19, I hate the despise that is being shown to Peter, that does not sound right. Honesty is so important.
SNEAKY MOTHER PASSED IT ON.
100% 👍. That's how humans are supposed to act.
Though I love Zay, I felt the same. I was quite angry that Peter wasn’t involved in the arrangements. I’m not even Peter, but I feel hurt and used after involving my emotions. Thank God Peter has a heart of gold. I wouldn’t stomach it tbh.
I also expected the mother to be the one and talk to Peter before she made her arrangements. Its kinder annoying that some people take others for granted
@@kyererebrendahatukunda1370 INDEED. The boy is smart for himself, I’m sure Peter sees what this young man is up to. I hope he does. Peter is a level headed man life has taught him a lot, he sees through this young man. My opinion, he is doing Peter a FAVOUR, because he could have turned out differently in Peters home even though Peter was a good mentor to him, let his mother deal with him moving forward.
Peter..
I hear LOVE when you express yourself..
May God continue to implant that in you and allow you allow them Grow.
They sure will NEVER forget you.
you made me cry, thanks for sharing. I understand your feeling, kids are always in our tip of heart.
Look at the love and security that little boy shows towards his foster father.
Look at the "love" that 18 year old shows holding that little 8 year old girl in his lap. It was also cute that the little girl asked to sit in his lap when they get back in the car.
@@evonne437 All are wonders to behold. So much love SHOWS.
@@bessieking3797 I was being sarcastic...That 18 year old man boy should not be holding that little girl on his lap like that..wtf....that's not his sister and even if it was his sister, I would put a stop to it......that man boy was enjoying that. It was crouch to crouch as he held her tight.....UNACCEPTABLE......PERIOD.
@@bessieking3797 In her little booty shorts.
I was able to see transparently how much you love Xavier today. I always knew you did but I was happy to see how much you really do love him. I always thought he was the luckiest kid to have gotten moved away to go live with you. Bless your hearts and thank you for sharing.
It's awesome that everyone gets along so well with each other -- even better than a biological family!
I’m only 25 but I think I’ll eventually foster once I’m established and free God willing 💫🙏🏾
Peter is a King!
🤩
Gee Peter...you wanted to cry...I did too. It really is tough. Over this time I've been following you & you kids, I also have begun to feel protective over them- & I am miles away! So I can't imagine how you are really feeling inside. I do hope that Zay enjoys time with his Mom- he is such a lovely boy & so deserving of all things good.
Sad for you Peter. What if he doesn't return?
Thank you so much, not an easy road
What protection do you feel for that little girl being held that way by that 18 year old boy? She also wanted to sit in his lap when they get back in the car.
"he is such a lovely boy & so deserving of all things good" He don't get to have a lap dance from an 8 year old girl wiggling in his lap.
@@evonne437 I noticed that closeness as well, but with some discomfort. Perhaps better that he's gone before there'd be an undesirable relationship between the young man And his half sister. Some nasty things happen in life. As a parent you have to be sensitive to how children relate. Life is full of good as well as negative spirits.
@@maqangazamanyezile218 First...I don't know if any of these are real brothers and sister same parents. If Peter adopted them, they are still not brother and sister as we know the meaning.
All this family love talk doesn't stop me from saying something when it comes to little girls.
I know he is gone for now, but I bet Peter will let him come back. Peter needs to talk to the little girl about jumping in men's lap especially if he is going to dress her in booty shorts and dresses and swimsuits.
How many of us get to live a life where we really make a difference to so many lives - Peter has. He is wonderful.
To see you fighting back the tears and sadness after Zay got on the bus and then when you were sitting in your “safe place” made me want to cry with you. But it just shows that you are doing a wonderful job being the BEST DAD and bringing these beautiful ones into your heart and home and showing them what a parent should be like.
Thank you Peter for sharing with us a little vulnerability and that you are a loving dad.
Sending Zay prayers and love on his travel and his destination. I truly hope that his experience turns out to be positive and helps him with maturing and becoming more of a man and person. Your imprint on him will definitely guide him through life.
Much love to you Peter and family
I think you did the right thing. He is 18 years old and considered an adult so he should as much as possible make that journey on his own...however, I admire your consistent support of the kids! It's true...our children, no matter the age, will always be our children!
I hope his visit goes well. I was in tears seeing him get on that bus! Can’t wait for the update!
You and me both! We will keep you posted
Ooh me too,, tears,,, his grown up a lot, living with his new family,,, have a nice time,,
Me too. Zay has matured a lot. All of a sudden, it seems
You are the most caring honest Dad to your kids .Your understanding & passion towards what they do is above 110% . I always enjoy watching your family .
Peter is too busy enjoying his fantasy to not notice that an 18 year old boy should not be holding an 8 year old little girl that way 110% hands off.
Peter, you are an amazing man, father, and brother in Christ. Your love for your children is a wonderful example of how parents, siblings and families should be.
Thank you for sharing your journey,
Brandi and Mark
You are so Amazing!!! I can see how those kids respond to you and the needed attention you give them. You are a Treasure; wish there were more people like you.
Oh how I cried watching this ... So happy, scared and excited for Zay.... Peter you're simply a beautiful human!! God bless, you are all in my prayers ❤️
Always in my thoughts and prayers, beautiful, fully known family members 🙏 ❤️
I felt your feelings. Fear, sadness, mixed feelings. Praying for you and Zay. You did a good job protecting him and teaching him good things. It's hard to let go. Now is the time to have faith and Trust God with all of your heart. Pray that Zay has discernment as he visits his mom and has an exit strategy if need to be. I'm glad you kept pressing him to call you. I'm glad you got his mom's number. Hope and prayers.
It’s really hard to say goodbye not knowing
@@FosterDadFlipper I know I wish I could hug your fear away. I've never had children and I know God only let's us borrow children for a little while, but it's just so scary these days to be any kind of parent. Please let us know how he's doing. Thanks for sharing today so we can pray for you. I've been an aunt and a teacher, but never a parent. I just wonder why he chose to go so fast. I hope he wasn't manipulated.
@@kkm64 I agree!!!
Peter, our world is a better place because of you! Praying for you and your family.
I could see how worried Peter was to let him go away on his own. Such a parent thing to do.
Love extended from heart to heart with God's light & love. ❤love❤
I love watching the little boy cuddled to Peter this shows that he love and trust peter
You are their safe place and them knowing that as they explore the world and themselves IS the very definition of love AND that IS ENOUGH! ❤
Awwwww! I don't know why I am crying after watching this, what an incredible dad you are 💕💕
Ur an amazing family. God blessed the world with you. Xx gods love and strength to you all
I wish him the very best of the best in this life.That was some good advice.Set no expectations when it comes to people, that way you you don't get hurt. Will miss you Zay!🥺
As a foster child I must tell you the profound impact that you make in a child’s life. God bless
Zay has grown into such a good brother to the kids. I always notice his awareness, kindness and affectionate interactive qualities with them and also with the dogs. Dad I think you have become his best friend. BTW I get a kick out of your very expressive daughter 😆
It's hard but so glad you gave. ❤
This boy has thrived with you! So mature and happy.
