wishin for a disabled child is disturbing. I never prayed for a disabled child and always planned to adopt. She almost seemed sad that her child did not have down syndrome. There is nothing wrong with people with disabiliites but to wish that on your own child is sad
@@cathy2earth Hmmmm, I think your view of things may be quite different than hers. Not every human who has a special child is fully equipped to care for their special love. However, some humans are more equipped to handle the unique challenges that others struggle to navigate. I think she was eager and willing to have the opportunity to have those types of children and to provide her special ability to cope and love them unconditionally. I am almost certain some of this stems from growing up with Mary Beth and seeing how cruel and insensitive "normal" people can be to those with different needs. I can't even imagine what that is like today with the unidentified faceless keyboard warriors who make uncalled for, crass, and quite honestly unintelligent comments about people for any reason. I'd be willing to bet that her naturally born child would have wonderful things to say about her as well and likely wouldn't wish for a "normal" family for anything. I'm pretty confident that their whole tribe thinks that they are one of the most normal families around and that is amazing!
@@GarbageMan2025 i have a severely disabled child and his life is not easy. My son is my love of life though. My channel has many videos of him. My son does ABA, PRT, in home speech, in home feeding therapy, in home OT, in home urgent response services, conductive education at March of Dimes and music therapy. For rec my son does Challenger Baseball, special Olympics soccer, adaptive rock climbing and adaptive dance. His therapy and rec alone cost 11000/m not to mention his school is 85000/yr called New Haven. My channel has all about me. I ddont wish my sons strugles on any child. Not so no named you just apparently cant figure out how to look at somones channel. My other son died of cancer and I have videos of him. I run a charity for terminally ill children, i do advocacy against ther troubled teen industry. Go away your the faceless keyboard warriors.
Omg Cameron!! I was his nurse for years in the group home. I'm so happy he has a loving family now. Idk how I even came across this video but I'm glad I did
Her explanation on how these young men don’t see color, age, disability, etc is truly what more people should be looking toward as inspiration to making this world a better place and how so many more people should be living their lives. This lady and her husband are truly amazing people for what they have done. Great videos sir!!
You don't feel so different when five of you are the same. What a great group of friends - hanging out, having fun, looking after each other, and gently ribbing each other..
Can we clone this woman? Not only is she loving but the way she acknowledges how important it is to teach these boys to be independent, she’s extremely smart. Love her. And the boys are a blast.
I had a son when I was 22 with Down syndrome. He has been the biggest blessing in my life. He is my angel on earth. He is now 35 and I feel blessed to be a part of his life. This couple is awesome and so very very loved!
You know, I remember hearing once, that this is not a disability, but a superpower that they have to love and accept everybody. That changed my heart, and this story here is reinforcing that so much more.
I've met some hateful ppl with it too. They're people. Putting them on a pedestal of they r innocent and can do no harm is weird af. Tho u meant well u r contributing to ppls misinformation. It is a disability, and yes, ppl with it can be hateful.
Thank you so much for everything you do for all of your boys. I lost my cousin Kevin just over a year ago. He had Down Syndrome and passed away just after his 65th birthday. He graduated from high school, drove a car and worked all his life as a cashier. I miss him terribly as I was only a few months older than him and we were inseparable all our lives. I hope that everyone who sees your videos will realize what wonderful people they truly are.
I just recently found your page. I'm a 58 yr old male and I hadn't cried in a long time. The boys touched my heart. I'm so glad they have you. Bless you. Much love from Orlando, FL
It has been my honour to know my friend's Down Syndrome brother. He was the much wanted son after three daughters. His mother was advised to put him in a home. Instead, his family have adored him daily, travelled with him, partied with him, and encouraged his amazing art skills. Tomorrow, he turns 60, surrounded by his extended family of 50 plus, including nephews, nieces, grand nephews, and nieces, his three sisters having organised a huge celebration He is a savant,remembering everyone's birthday or anniversary. What a blessing he is. All children are precious.

My husband and I were "gifted" a beautiful baby daughter in 1989 who happened to have Down syndrome. Amy has enriched our lives, she has given us an understanding of what God's love is for us: unconditional. Amy and her friends love each other unconditionally. Wow. That is so amazing. So many of our friends and their families love "with conditions." Amy doesn't like loud noises, changes (as in power outages, thunder, fireworks, etc.) BUT she LOVES her friends and family with no strings attached. She is a beautiful GIFT from God. Amy loves her brother, sister-in-law and her nephew. We are blessed!!!
When I worked in a care home there were many people that just didn't belong there. I can only imagine the pain those boys felt before you found them. An angel. Some people are just meant to be special parents.

I know it's cliche but you literally feel the love watching them. I love her outlook of purposely wanting a kid with disability, that's great! I know it's difficult but we need people like that
I’m a disability support worker here in Australia, it’s always a great honour and pleasure to support adults with Down syndrome. They’re honest, non judgmental, willing and able of so many things but must if all they have nothing but love for everyone and everything
I have worked with Down Syndrome/ Special Needs children too. It is so surprising to me just how deeply, truly and sincerely they love people. I have to wonder what it is that makes them like that.
What a beautiful family! I love the different personalities in the boys but love that their big, big hearts and smiles are shared so freely with everyone they meet. Very thankful for this video today! ❤
I’ve been a nurse for 35 years and started working with adults with developmental disabilities 2.5 years ago! I absolutely love each and every one of them and the staff who care for them are incredible people!
I don't understand why people would make negative comments 😢 Thank you so much for being patient with those people and allowing them to see their mistake.
I don’t think I I’ve smiled and laughed so wholesomely this much in a really long time. I bet there is never a dull moment in that house. Thank you Jesus for such wonderful and caring people. I’m vibing a bit higher from this
i have a tender heart towards people with Down Syndrome. This family proves what a blessing they are and how much they can enrich every life they touch. I am almost jealous of the mom but I am even more thrilled for each of those young men, that they have a family that clearly loves them and made the sacrifices necessary to make that happen for them.

I've dedicated 25 years of my life to this population in supported living in their own homes, and the elderly as well. And, my response is the same as yours when it comes to how much more enriched my life has become because of their presence in it! Such a great video to represent daily life, and the love and giggles that come along with it. Thank you, and thank the guys for the laughter I experienced right along with them! 💜💟💜
Your family is beautiful!! ❤ I used to work with adults that had developmental and intellectual disabilities. I first started working in the residential setting for almost 2 years and then I decided to join the day program. I was with them for about 12 years. We did everything from leisure activities to volunteering at various places in the community.
They are the best people in the world. They are full of sunshine. And make you laugh so much. I have met two and they are so lovely and upbeat 😊 Love them.
I worked in retail and hospitality for years. My favourite customers were Down Syndrome folk ( special shout out to Mark). They treated us with respect and friendship, which is far more than I can say for many 'normal' people. RESPECT for this family ❤
My cousin had Down syndrome he was the sweetest guy he past away in his 50’s our family reunions have never been the same God bless you you have a home over flowing with love
What a beautiful family!! I was fortunate to work with developmentally disabled adults at a day center 20 years ago. It was hands down the most fulfilling job I have ever had and count it as one of the best experiences I have been blessed to have. So much love and fun and all of the clients we had were just shining lights! Thank you for sharing! All your boys are wonderful!!
The are beautiful boys and brings happines and love and sunshine in our harts. We wish you all the best. We have twin boys with down- syndroom. Greetings from Belgium.
I worked with young adults with Downs Syndrome many years ago (teaching independent living skills and getting them jobs in the community), and am convinced that they are role models for the rest of us on joyful living and unconditional love. I also learned that they would do anything for me when it was politely requested, but they could be very stubborn if I was trying to force something.... Another great lesson for me!
I worked in a “facility” in Indiana in the late 1960’s (I was only 18) and my heart LOVED them and I look forward to seeing them all in heaven some day. What an amazing family!
It’s beyond me to comprehend that anybody anybody would put down a down syndrome child they are so precious. They are so giving they are so loving and I have a member of my family who has a down syndrome brother and one day on a visit we were chatting back-and-forth for hours and he came up to me. He goes. Thank you for talking to me because nobody in my family talks to me. It broke my heart!! I make it a point to always extend myself to any child born with any disability because they belong on this earth like everybody else and when I hear of people putting down children, such as these beautiful boys it just beyond me to comprehend ‘’why why would they ever ever make such comments” life is a gift and everybody deserves to be here. Love changes everything.
Im so glad i found this itcwarms my heart. Ibhad a little brother with Downs. I loved him so much. I used to care for him and took him to the movies on weekends. He would have turned 66 this month Nov 8th. He died 4 days after his 12th birthday. I was devastated. I just turned 69 and watching this I cried with happiness. Thankyou ❤
I was a support worker for special needs adults in a group home. They are so full of life, love, and laughter. I really miss them as I'm retired now, but do run into them once in awhile in public. They light up and run to hug me. I'm just as happy to see them. You seem like a person one enjoys being around. KUDOS to you.
I’m a 76 year old RN and have specialized in the care of special needs patients in their homes. I really appreciate hearing this adoptive mom’s heart for these young men.
I worked for many years with adults with developmental disabilities. My absolute favorites were the ones with Downs. Everything you say about them is true. The world regards them differently but once someone gets to know them, their hearts are changed. We need more individuals like them in our hurting world. Thank you for giving us a wonderful example of selfless love. ❤️🙏
😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏 wel dun im proud fo evreyone tha being so frendly towrds peopl muc lov to u peopl fro rescting peopl wit disabiltes and evry 1 drffent we are all humnabeigns
I rarely watch a video from start to finish. I am balling my eyes out at the compassion this family has. This gives me so much hope for humanity. If I could afford children, I would definitely consider a special child, likely autism and/or downs. Thank you for this video!
I love this family,how lucky you all are! My Uncle Joe lived with us when my grandparents passed. Six kids ,13 Neice’s and nephews ,tons of friends ,we are all better people because of him. He was so funny his sense of humor like my Moms. I miss them both everyday , I only wish my kids met him. He was popular in our town everyone knew and loved him . He did have a tiny bit of racism when he moved in but that quickly and completely disappeared when he joined our family. He was abused at his high school boarding school by someone of color ,punished by being locked in a closet he was 35 at his graduation (sharing in general Down’s syndrome kids are born like everyone else and taught to be racist your family learned from you to be accepting and tolerant )Thank you
You are such a blessing. I have a mentally handicapped brother who lives with me he is 71. Although he does get on my nerves sometimes he is really no problem. I t makes me sad that people so readily give Down syndrome children up. They deserve a happy home just like normal children. Bless you!
Today is Thanksgiving 2024. I am so thankful for David and Jackson and ALL the wonderful people with Special Needs. I am so thankful for the amazing families that adopt. Thank you Lord for all your blessings. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
That is a home of pure love. I miss working with adults with Downs Syndrome and other developmental disabilities. It's a privilege to work with earth's angels.
I’m absolutely an aw. I have a brother with Down syndrome who can’t walk or talk, but is an absolutely bundle of joy when it comes to music (he’s also a huge Justin Bieber lover) and movies as well. Seeing this brings tears to my eyes. This family is absolutely so amazing. Dear Mom and Dad you guys both have a heart of gold. God bless you and the family so much. Thank you for taking care of these boys and giving them so much love when so many others didn’t want to do so. :(
I Pray this puts those people sitting on the fence into action about adopting. A Great Beautiful video. I had a critical care son for 25 years. Best Best days of my entire life. I may not have known God like I got to know Him in that time. It was like having 12 kids in one, it was a hard road but the Lord was with me every step of the way. Always RUN towards where God is leading you-don't waste pne minute out of line in Gods' Will. What a Beautiful Blessed Family !
Your family is beautiful, and I am so in awe of you for giving these young gentlemen a chance to love and grow with happiness and to be a family. They're AWESOME!! ❤
People with down syndrome are a blessing sent by God honestly, I totally understand why this woman was wishing to have a child with down syndrome because I’m sure it teaches you a lot, and it probably really shows you how to live life to its fullest and find joy in everything. People with down syndrome are unapologetically themselves, and I think a lot of people can learn from that.
It takes a very special person to do what you do and have such a love making me tear up. Beautiful and a blessing for so many. Thank you for sharing this wonderful family story. Very inspiring for many families. Thank you so much for being you
I agree with the reader who termed it as a moral vacum in their hearts those voicing negative comments about this family. Perhaps they missed out on love something this family has an abundance of.
Good for you mam! I have always wanted a Down syndrome baby too but it never happened. I’m 56 yrs old male I love this video! You’re so blessed good for you!
What a beautiful mother you are, and not just that, a kind and steady human being. A pleasure to hear you speak and hear your stories. All the best to you and your family.. 🙏💜
I used to work at a school for special needs children, Downs, Cerebral Palsy etc. Every working day when entering the door, there was 20 kids aged 4-18 waiting for me at the door, telling me how much they'd love me and how much I was missed since yesterday. Best, most rewarding, easiest and enjoyable job ever. Loved those kids
I think they are Angels. No matter where you go in the world, no matter the race. They are so gentle and compassionate,never hold grudges, they enjoy the moment of life they are in. ( unspeakable shame on those that abuse them.)
These boys sound so loving and caring. ❤ bless their hearts for their kindness and bless you guys for adopting them.❤❤❤❤ My ex and I adopted a special needs child who was 6 had fetal alcohol and ADHD and is now 37 and in a wonderful host home .
What a beautiful family and story. My sister had Down Syndrome. I loved her dearly, we were very close. She taught us all so much. She went home to be with The Lord at the age of 16 back in the 80's. She had diabetes and her blood sugar dropped in the night.
@@StoriesMadeWithLove my husband watching next to me didn't get it. Why would you be happy your child has Down Syndrome? He hasn't had the opportunity to know and be loved by someone like your boys. I grew up with my dear friend Jori who has Down Syndrome and every moment spent with her was filled with laughter and joy. Yes, they have a disability, but their ability to love and brighten the lives around them far outweighs their challenges. I get it. I would be overjoyed as well. Your boys are so lucky to have you, but I'm sure you feel like the lucky one. You all deserve each other. I am so touched! ❤
I would’ve loved to hear how her son Cody felt about everything. I feel it was odd that we didn’t get to hear from him nor her husband. Why weren’t they included in this? I think she is a good woman for taking them in, but I have questions since they didn’t take part. I just hope her son Cody didn’t feel replaced and that she husband doesn’t feel that way either and it just as passionate..and the fact they didn’t participate does make me wonder. I also hear they are on social media. I don’t think children should be exploited on social media, nor do I think adult children with disabilities should be. So ai hope that isn’t happening. Idk what her social media is or if she is doing that, so I am not claiming that is what she does..just saying I hope it isn’t.
I can't imagine the moral vacuum that must exist in the hearts of anyone making negative comments about this wonderful and loving family.
They need our love to melt their hearts!

I have worked with Down Syndrome/ Special Needs children too. It is so surprising to me just how deeply, truly and sincerely they love people. I have to wonder what it is that makes them like that.
What a beautiful family! I love the different personalities in the boys but love that their big, big hearts and smiles are shared so freely with everyone they meet. Very thankful for this video today! ❤
We love that too!!! Thanks for commenting!
I’ve been a nurse for 35 years and started working with adults with developmental disabilities 2.5 years ago! I absolutely love each and every one of them and the staff who care for them are incredible people!
Way to go!!!!
I don't understand why people would make negative comments 😢 Thank you so much for being patient with those people and allowing them to see their mistake.
They are the very people who need this kind of LOVE!!!
dnt wrry ym frend dnt be 😢 be 😀😀🙂🙂😃💖💖😎😎
I dont see any, they must have deleted them all
I don’t think I I’ve smiled and laughed so wholesomely this much in a really long time. I bet there is never a dull moment in that house. Thank you Jesus for such wonderful and caring people. I’m vibing a bit higher from this
Amen!
To say that I admire you and your family would be a total understatement!!!! May God bless you and keep you always.
Thank YOU!
i have a tender heart towards people with Down Syndrome. This family proves what a blessing they are and how much they can enrich every life they touch. I am almost jealous of the mom but I am even more thrilled for each of those young men, that they have a family that clearly loves them and made the sacrifices necessary to make that happen for them.
They are truly a blessing. We hope more people will just give them a chance and if they do they will be blessed too!
I love downs syndrome people! they are not judgemental, they're usually very loving and welcoming, who wouldn't want a bezzie like that?!.

I wish I could work with people with Down syndrome I really do.
I've dedicated 25 years of my life to this population in supported living in their own homes, and the elderly as well. And, my response is the same as yours when it comes to how much more enriched my life has become because of their presence in it! Such a great video to represent daily life, and the love and giggles that come along with it. Thank you, and thank the guys for the laughter I experienced right along with them! 💜💟💜
We love to hear this!!! Thank YOU!
Your family is beautiful!! ❤ I used to work with adults that had developmental and intellectual disabilities. I first started working in the residential setting for almost 2 years and then I decided to join the day program. I was with them for about 12 years. We did everything from leisure activities to volunteering at various places in the community.
They are the best people in the world. They are full of sunshine. And make you laugh so much. I have met two and they are so lovely and upbeat 😊
Love them.
Wow!! You’re wonderful people. People with downs are also some of the most loving people in the world.
So very true
I worked in retail and hospitality for years. My favourite customers were Down Syndrome folk ( special shout out to Mark).
They treated us with respect and friendship, which is far more than I can say for many 'normal' people.
RESPECT for this family ❤
My cousin had Down syndrome he was the sweetest guy he past away in his 50’s our family reunions have never been the same God bless you you have a home over flowing with love
I have a 34 year old nephew with down's. He one of the most loving, compassionate people you could ever encounter.
What a beautiful family!! I was fortunate to work with developmentally disabled adults at a day center 20 years ago. It was hands down the most fulfilling job I have ever had and count it as one of the best experiences I have been blessed to have. So much love and fun and all of the clients we had were just shining lights! Thank you for sharing! All your boys are wonderful!!
Thank you for watching and for caring!!!
I love this woman’s heart. God bless.
The are beautiful boys and brings happines and love and sunshine in our harts. We wish you all the best. We have twin boys with down- syndroom. Greetings from Belgium.
Hello Belgium! Thanks for commenting!
💖💖💖💖❤❤️
I worked with young adults with Downs Syndrome many years ago (teaching independent living skills and getting them jobs in the community), and am convinced that they are role models for the rest of us on joyful living and unconditional love. I also learned that they would do anything for me when it was politely requested, but they could be very stubborn if I was trying to force something.... Another great lesson for me!
You are so right! This is exactly what we won't our movie to show the world!
They are a gift to any of us that are lucky enought to meet them in life and you are so right in what you say about them .
I worked in a “facility” in Indiana in the late 1960’s (I was only 18) and my heart LOVED them and I look forward to seeing them all in heaven some day. What an amazing family!
Wow! We'd love to hear your story!
This lady is love in person. So beautiful.❤
It’s beyond me to comprehend that anybody anybody would put down a down syndrome child they are so precious. They are so giving they are so loving and I have a member of my family who has a down syndrome brother and one day on a visit we were chatting back-and-forth for hours and he came up to me. He goes. Thank you for talking to me because nobody in my family talks to me. It broke my heart!! I make it a point to always extend myself to any child born with any disability because they belong on this earth like everybody else and when I hear of people putting down children, such as these beautiful boys it just beyond me to comprehend ‘’why why would they ever ever make such comments” life is a gift and everybody deserves to be here. Love changes everything.
Thanks for your comment
Don't say 'put down' that's what we say about animals.
@@ajrwilde14 when I say put down my dear, I’m referring to verbally talk in a negative way!!!
wow that’s so cool that them having a playground is helping them lose weight the boys look so good🖤
Im so glad i found this itcwarms my heart. Ibhad a little brother with Downs. I loved him so much. I used to care for him and took him to the movies on weekends. He would have turned 66 this month Nov 8th. He died 4 days after his 12th birthday. I was devastated. I just turned 69 and watching this I cried with happiness. Thankyou ❤
Thanks for watching
I was a support worker for special needs adults in a group home. They are so full of life, love, and laughter. I really miss them as I'm retired now, but do run into them once in awhile in public. They light up and run to hug me. I'm just as happy to see them. You seem like a person one enjoys being around. KUDOS to you.
Thanks for commenting!
These folks are so sweet and kind
Love these people what a blessing to have people in our world like them
God bless you
I’m a 76 year old RN and have specialized in the care of special needs patients in their homes. I really appreciate hearing this adoptive mom’s heart for these young men.
Thank you!
How beautiful. Every now and then the algorithm gives you just what you need to turn your day around. TY TH-cam
So glad you watched!
Yeah every so often YT hits a home run.
I worked for many years with adults with developmental disabilities. My absolute favorites were the ones with Downs. Everything you say about them is true. The world regards them differently but once someone gets to know them, their hearts are changed. We need more individuals like them in our hurting world. Thank you for giving us a wonderful example of selfless love. ❤️🙏
😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏 wel dun im proud fo evreyone tha being so frendly towrds peopl muc lov to u peopl fro rescting peopl wit disabiltes and evry 1 drffent we are all humnabeigns
Yes they are truly a Blessing from God and I speak from the Heart on that !
I rarely watch a video from start to finish. I am balling my eyes out at the compassion this family has. This gives me so much hope for humanity. If I could afford children, I would definitely consider a special child, likely autism and/or downs. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for sharing! We are glad this video touched you
I love this family,how lucky you all are! My Uncle Joe lived with us when my grandparents passed. Six kids ,13 Neice’s and nephews ,tons of friends ,we are all better people because of him. He was so funny his sense of humor like my Moms. I miss them both everyday , I only wish my kids met him. He was popular in our town everyone knew and loved him . He did have a tiny bit of racism when he moved in but that quickly and completely disappeared when he joined our family. He was abused at his high school boarding school by someone of color ,punished by being locked in a closet he was 35 at his graduation (sharing in general Down’s syndrome kids are born like everyone else and taught to be racist your family learned from you to be accepting and tolerant )Thank you
Thanks for sharing!!!
People like this need to be protected and supported by all means necessary!
its amazing what watching these types of videos does to someone i was super depressed these past few days and watching this has brought me happiness
This warms our hearts and gives us the motivation to keep making these videos. Follow us for more videos. We pray your depression will disappear.
You are such a blessing. I have a mentally handicapped brother who lives with me he is 71. Although he does get on my nerves sometimes he is really no problem. I t makes me sad that people so readily give Down syndrome children up. They deserve a happy home just like normal children. Bless you!
Today is Thanksgiving 2024. I am so thankful for David and Jackson and ALL the wonderful people with Special Needs. I am so thankful for the amazing families that adopt. Thank you Lord for all your blessings. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
We are sooooo thankful for families like yours who step up and get involved!! Keep on sharing the LOVE!!
What an awesome inspirational family! A home filled with love , compassion and caring! Wishing all of them the very best in life !!!
thank YOU!
What an amazing bunch of men! And Mom is so special.
You have a beautiful family. Your boys are a blessing and spread sunshine
I get to be the uncle of a very special little guy with Downs. He is a treasure.
We know that's right!
What a wonderful family! ❤ 😊
💖💖💖💖💖😎😎😎
That is a home of pure love. I miss working with adults with Downs Syndrome and other developmental disabilities. It's a privilege to work with earth's angels.
I’m absolutely an aw. I have a brother with Down syndrome who can’t walk or talk, but is an absolutely bundle of joy when it comes to music (he’s also a huge Justin Bieber lover) and movies as well. Seeing this brings tears to my eyes. This family is absolutely so amazing. Dear Mom and Dad you guys both have a heart of gold. God bless you and the family so much. Thank you for taking care of these boys and giving them so much love when so many others didn’t want to do so. :(
You get it!! Thanks for your support!
I Pray this puts those people sitting on the fence into action about adopting. A Great Beautiful video. I had a critical care son for 25 years. Best Best days of my entire life. I may not have known God like I got to know Him in that time. It was like having 12 kids in one, it was a hard road but the Lord was with me every step of the way. Always RUN towards where God is leading you-don't waste pne minute out of line in Gods' Will. What a Beautiful Blessed Family !
That's a powerful testimony!! Thank YOU for sharing!!!
This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank YOU!
What a lovely home lovely young men bless them all.
Thank you
Your family is beautiful, and I am so in awe of you for giving these young gentlemen a chance to love and grow with happiness and to be a family. They're AWESOME!! ❤
Thank YOU!
People with down syndrome are a blessing sent by God honestly, I totally understand why this woman was wishing to have a child with down syndrome because I’m sure it teaches you a lot, and it probably really shows you how to live life to its fullest and find joy in everything. People with down syndrome are unapologetically themselves, and I think a lot of people can learn from that.
Yup!
Always loved down syndrome and autistic people they are always beautiful people
It takes a very special person to do what you do and have such a love making me tear up. Beautiful and a blessing for so many. Thank you for sharing this wonderful family story. Very inspiring for many families. Thank you so much for being you
We are so happy you enjoyed our video!!! Come back for more beautiful stories!
I agree with the reader who termed it as a moral vacum in their hearts those voicing negative comments about this family.
Perhaps they missed out on love something this family has an abundance of.
They need our love more than ever! Share the LOVE!
May God bless 🙏 this amazing family 👪
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank YOU!
Happy New Year to this wonderful family and amazing parents . May you all have an abundance of Joy , Health , and Peace in the coming year ❤
Thank you all so much for sharing all sides of your wonderful, encouraging and heart warming story!
Good for you mam! I have always wanted a Down syndrome baby too but it never happened. I’m 56 yrs old male I love this video! You’re so blessed good for you!
This is heaven on earth. Thank you so much guys! ❤❤❤❤❤
What an inspiration this woman is. The world could use alot more people like her. Thank you for being You! Those young men are awesome!
We agree!
My baby brother has down syndrome and autism and he is such a great kid. Watching these videos always gets me crying in a good way
Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful mother you are, and not just that, a kind and steady human being. A pleasure to hear you speak and hear your stories. All the best to you and your family.. 🙏💜
I used to work at a school for special needs children, Downs, Cerebral Palsy etc.
Every working day when entering the door, there was 20 kids aged 4-18 waiting for me at the door, telling me how much they'd love me and how much I was missed since yesterday.
Best, most rewarding, easiest and enjoyable job ever.
Loved those kids
Me too! Same wonderful start to the day!
Omg I know there a lot of laughs in that house! I have worked with kids who have Down syndrome and they are such a joy to be around 😁🫶🏾
Mom's and Dad's like you are a huge blessing to all those sweet boys. I myself want to adopt Down Syndrome. Thank you so much for your huge heart.
Check out RODS.org to learn more about special needs adoption!
This Group Of Young Men Are So Infections!!! I Hope To See More Of Them Spreading There Love & Joy!!!!!
Thank You for giving these young men a stable home life and all the love you can muster God Bless
Isn't it a beautiful thing?
my wife and i adopted two at different times in our life they are now 24 and 26. what a joy they are
That's so awesome!
I think they are Angels. No matter where you go in the world, no matter the race. They are so gentle and compassionate,never hold grudges, they enjoy the moment of life they are in. ( unspeakable shame on those that abuse them.)
Oh my goodness! How awesome for them, and you too! I adopted two boys, normal and people say they are lucky. No, I am . What a gift.😊
These boys sound so loving and caring. ❤ bless their hearts for their kindness and bless you guys for adopting them.❤❤❤❤
My ex and I adopted a special needs child who was 6 had fetal alcohol and ADHD and is now 37 and in a wonderful host home .
Thank you for sharing!!!
@ your welcome.
Merry Christmas.
What a beautiful family and story. My sister had Down Syndrome. I loved her dearly, we were very close. She taught us all so much. She went home to be with The Lord at the age of 16 back in the 80's. She had diabetes and her blood sugar dropped in the night.
It take a very special family to accept a down syndrome child. Thx for giving them a family that loves them.
Dunno why this popped up for me but so glad to meet this beautiful family. 😊💕
We are glad too!
An absolutely delightful group of young men. Would be proud to call any one of them a friend. Hats off to mom and dad 👏🏻
I love how she was “over joyed” when she thought her biological child had Down Syndrome. She is an angel.
You get it!
you forgot the /s
@@StoriesMadeWithLove my husband watching next to me didn't get it. Why would you be happy your child has Down Syndrome? He hasn't had the opportunity to know and be loved by someone like your boys. I grew up with my dear friend Jori who has Down Syndrome and every moment spent with her was filled with laughter and joy. Yes, they have a disability, but their ability to love and brighten the lives around them far outweighs their challenges. I get it. I would be overjoyed as well. Your boys are so lucky to have you, but I'm sure you feel like the lucky one. You all deserve each other. I am so touched! ❤
I would’ve loved to hear how her son Cody felt about everything. I feel it was odd that we didn’t get to hear from him nor her husband. Why weren’t they included in this? I think she is a good woman for taking them in, but I have questions since they didn’t take part. I just hope her son Cody didn’t feel replaced and that she husband doesn’t feel that way either and it just as passionate..and the fact they didn’t participate does make me wonder. I also hear they are on social media. I don’t think children should be exploited on social media, nor do I think adult children with disabilities should be. So ai hope that isn’t happening. Idk what her social media is or if she is doing that, so I am not claiming that is what she does..just saying I hope it isn’t.
