I have been watching some of your really old videos that have been popping up on TH-cam. One of them that just got me was when Annavea, was riding her scooter outside and she stopped and said I just want to be adopted. And the other, was when Weston and Spencer went on the visit with their mom, and Weston came back crying and Everyone hugged him. You guys have so much love in your house.
I grew up in foster homes and group homes and would have loved to have found a family like this so glad you help the children and keep the siblings together. You all are amazing.
This is so cool for Mason. How is he feeling about meeting his sister. I really hope they can develop some sort of relationship. This is so exciting. It made me cry a little bit. I have four younger siblings and the three younger ones are still children. I talk to my brother, who is. I think he’s 13 or 14. Last time I saw him was when he was about 2 1/2 almost 3 and last summer was the first time I talk to him it’s a whole long story, but I’ve only been able to talk to him about five times and I don’t even know my two younger sisters.
We have a similar family journey. The big difference with us is the healing process of our kids seems to be taking years. We have a lot of behaviors that you seem to not have. I enjoy watching your journey as it makes me feel like we are not the only ones with a huge family. ♡
They don't share the triggers as they are personal and everyone went through counseling. Everyone is different. I have two adopted cousins from china: the first at 6 months old had a good orphanage. The second one had a bad one and was 9 months at adoption. She had reactive attachment disorder that required help for years. At 24 shes a good wife, mother and takes care of her mom. I hppe you and yours can deal with the hand delt them.
❤❤❤. So thankful there are folks like y'all that give life a new meaning for so many kids. How wonderful would it be if every child got a forever home.
Love your family , you can tell they are close and love each other, and that they are so loved by you both !!❤️. Love watching your videos and miss when you don’t do them .
Great video! My heart is already preparing for Mason to meet his little sister. The story about the librarian with Lizzie, Lacey and Cody made me cry. You have an amazing family.
Love and logic parenting has always sounded so interesting! Would you consider doing a video on it? How you found it, why it works for your family, etc? :)
I am some what new to your channel. Thank you for taking the time to answer questions. Shelly, My daughter adopted a child. She did indeed send out birth announcement. We have a very large Irish family. And we do not get to see many of them until the week of St Patrick's day. Plus they sent so many gifts for the child. So it is not strange.🥰🥰
I’ve been watching your vlogs for a while and I almost knew all the answers. Just before you answered the favorite memory question I was like meeting Anevaeh for the first time. To my surprise you picked the same! 😱 Love you guys 💕
@@Itsmehii88 lol not the way you’re thinking. not everyone is capable to help and provide for those in need. they provided a new (very loving) family for 18+ kids, that’s insane. they know what they’re doing and they’re killing it. they were made to share their love ❤️
I haven’t got the right words…you’re both, wonderful, awesome… lovely…I wish I could find better words.. You are so lucky, and so are the kids . Thank you for all that you do and also for sharing ❤
Thank you so much for always explaining and answering. I like to watch your old vlogs from 2015. They are so edu-taining and informative. I appreciate your consistency in advocacy to foster and adopt. Stay WHO and HOW you are! So thrilled for the news about Mason! Be crazy and happy, much love 🥰
I love the your family ! As an adoptee myself to know there are loving parents like Shelly and Jared to bring children and siblings together is incredible, you are both amazing . I’ve loved watching your journey with adoption ❤💓
Beautiful Parents with loving giving GOLDEN HEARTS,you were meant to be parents to all of the kids you have,the way you both look at each other show a lot great vibes the love you have for each other is magnificently beautiful
The sibling groups were so lucky to be placed with you both where a loving family welcomed them with loving hearts and adopted them where possible.. Yes there are single children too, but have to agree so many sibling groups are split up due to lack of placements for more than one child. Has I would think the majority of adoptees want to adopt one child at a time, some maybe two but a lot are not situated to take on more than that. Thank goodness for those who are equipped to do so. Blessings to your wonderful family and your sister and Aaron too for adopting sibling groups. Blessings to all those who have adopted siblings and to those who adopted one or two at a time. Hope this makes sense lol.
You 2 were made for each other and to do what you do for all your kids your both just amazing people all around.. shoot you make me feel like family just through a video lol.. ❤❤
i like that you keep the family together. most people who adopted only want one kid and don't care how much that hurts the kids by spiting them up. i feel in my heart thats a selfish thing to do to kids. i feel they need to be together growing up together. if i ever find the right man i will be keeping family together.
When you talked about adoption day being like you got new babies I suddenly remembered that really old Crazy Pieces video of Alexs, Hannahs, and Brodys adoption in which they are pretending to be babies at the beginning.
sadly sibling groups almost always get separated. my siblings and i were all separated when we were removed from our mothers home. i was lucky enough to be placed with my fathers family, but my three siblings had no contact with their father's and were not as lucky. we were all about 2+ hours away from eachother. we were fortunate to have a family member plan and facilitate sibling get-togethers. without that who knows if we would even still be in contact today. being able to keep siblings together lessens the blow of loosing almost everything they have ever known just a little bit.
I just love your family!! You guys are amazing!! I hope that one day you will have some more kid/kids that need to be adopted while your license is open cause they would come into a very loving and caring home!! ❤
Love you guys and crazy pieces. I waved at you all as I went through Arizona by your old town St. John's. In Wyoming now but would love to meet you all one day.
Hello crazy Middle's thank you for another amazing video your family makes my heart happy and I appreciate all your videos and the work you put into your videos but more than anything how much you love and care about your kids you are one of the most amazing families thank you for all you do ❤️❤️🥰🥰
You guys are amazing! I would LOVE to foster to adopt but know it is a heartbreaking journey sometimes, and I don't know if i could handle losing them after getting so close to them. Husband and I are trying to concieve naturally and i have PCOS so making it sooo much harder. I feel like i am MEANT to be a mom!
Would you be open to doing a series of videos of adventures with each of the kids. I really enjoy seeing the relationship you have with each kid individually. its really nice and special and would be interested in seeing more of this.
I don't think Shelly and Jared know how many people wish they could adopt them. I love my parents but I wouldn't say no if they adopted me. They both are so much fun and loving xxx
I have a friend who adopted a baby boy and about three or so years later adopted his sister that had been born. I think adoption is wonderful and totally support anyone who does this. How is Jonathan doing? I haven't heard anything about him really in along time. Just curious but if you can't share I understand as well.
I never get tired of hearing stories over & over again. ❤️😍 btw, always meant to ask: have you guys ever had contact again or have updates about Kason's older brother & Harlan, Aubrey & Addison's eldest brother?
I think it's great that you keep in contact after they move out. They are your kids and good parents don't cut the cord when your kids move out.

What a wonderful world it would be if there were more people like you guys.

He doesn’t know that she will be in town
Happy to hear that Mason will meet her sister! ❤
Your story is amazing, you were made for this! I can't wait to start my adoption journey x

Such a lovely, lovely family. You are fabulous, what you do is fantastic.
Congratulations on wanting to grow your family through adoptions. Singles or groups of siblings, both are a blessing.
You guys are amazing. It is so wonderful that you keep siblings together. I used to be a foster parent and loved it.
I haven’t got the right words…you’re both, wonderful, awesome… lovely…I wish I could find better words..
