You know you're a parent when, "Are you eating books?" and "Don't lick my mirror, please," are normal phrases.
Lol. I have no idea but that's funny
ROFL I laughed at those too.
So true
either a parent or you work in a kindergarten
Can confirm, I've already asked my 1 year old son to stop licking my mirror probably twice..
Gentlemen, take notes... This is what a Man looks like.
Amen!
TRUTH!
Preach!
And what does a woman look like? He didn't birth those kids you know (-:
@@contactpq so?, he was nice enough to adopt 5 kids just for them to stay together.
"Major, are you eating books?"
"Don't lick my mirror please."
Those made me laugh so much, the way he said them so casually
This man is a perfect role model for this world.
I love this!!😇😇
hes that one dream that comes true.
Awww...right?!
eheheehehehhh
He didn't even have to yell and they stopped immediately. Now that's parenting... discipline does not have to hurt nor does it have to be loud. I love this man and never even met him. Awesome Dad.
This man is a saint, a pure Saint. Lord send this man a loving wife, he gives so much love he deserves a special person to fulfill that need we all have.
Amen. Let's all pray for this man and his "family" to be blessed by a woman worthy of him.
I think he is doing just fine on his own....... stay out of his way!
@@pommefrites9761 I really feel this. Yes of course he is doing just fine but the idea of the wife wouldnt be mentioned in this program if he didn't suggest it being advertised. He deserves to receive love from a peer too, its quite important to ones wholesome well-being. (I'm really responding to other posters too but I am saying, yes, lets pray for him )
@@peggymaystacy9358 the video said he wants a wife
@@pommefrites9761 the ego,to think he deserves a nice woman because he does all this. You think a woman is the greatest thing in a mans life huh? Not even close
Not all heroes wear capes 😭❤️
Some wear clothes
Amen amen
Well said
😭😭❤❤❤❤🙏🏽👍🏽
Many blessings to him and his family🙏
“Don’t lick my mirror.... “. Said so casually. Definitely should be caring for kids.
Knighting Gale lol it’s normal for kids to keep doing that though I know I did 😂
yes....
👍🏾😇❤️
@robinhood123454140 yep, as children should also be spoken to with respect 🙏🏾 They model behavior.
I'm so glad they were all blessed to have been adopted by him 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾
My 2yr niece is always licking my mom’s mirror 🤣🤣🤣

Duly noted
“ we got a lotta years to go but it’s alright, it’s all good” what an amazing father!
This was my favorite part too :) Oh to learn such loving patience.
May his basket never be empty and his heart forever full. 😭❤️
Amen!
you need more than one basket, you need ten baskets(are you out of your mind)
Amen
Amen! Amen!♥️
Amen🙏🏽
“They deserve to be raised together” Absolutely true!!
As an adopted daughter, I absolutely agree. I would give one of my legs to come back and be adopter with my sister*
I found her just one years ago after 20 years, and I'm in love with her. We also have other biological siblings, but between us there is a special connection. I would be happy if growed up beside her...
@@LuckeyWlas I am sorry you were separated from your siblings. That is not fair on any child!! I am glad you are reunited with your sister!! That is wonderful!!!!
So true and god bless him for adopted them all.
@@LuckeyWlas you have your whole life in front of you. enjoy it, cherish.
“Dont lick my mirror please.”
I burst out laughing and crying at the same time 💜 I love this man
same😂😂
@Thalassa C u like daddies?
Me too 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣
this man is the world HERO still in 2020. honestly i'm Speechless, this is how this man have faith in humanity. god bless you Brother.
This guy’s patients is stronger then diamonds.
Patience
Stronger than bedrock
Patience* than*
Everyone who think that they corrected me for my mistake I honestly blame it on apple auto correct it’s low key a drag.

He's doing more than most biological dad's do for 1child
*moms
@@anonymous4213 well..in my case it's dad's
True
You don't know most biological dads.
@@user-mh9dx7nz2r feeling guilty?
the way he is just so happy sacrificing his life so these kids can be happy. His heart is just gold and you know that he would never look back. Truly glad people like him exist.
The way he talks, you know he is a person with a kind heart, let alone the amount of love.
"Don't lick my mirror please" God bless this man 😂
He shud say don't lick the mirror. Hope he realize ,, what he say was not in the right context. Continue the good work by keeping those kids safe. God bless you and keep you.
@@colleenshay3173, whose mirror is it? The semantics are not important here, believe me.
Colleen Shay it’s the same as when your mom tell you to take your feet off her coffee table🤷🏾♀️
@@colleenshay3173 What in the world are you going on about?
Keeping siblings together god bless you. I hope they appreciate his sacrifice for them when they are older
jim page they will that's my prayer
They we appreciate this man I promise you.
Mashaaallaah jzk
Way to go! Such cute siblings!🥰🙏🙏
He sacrificed his leg.
Am I the only one in tears while watching this? God bless this man!
No way.
Nope. I’m crying with you!!!
Nope
God doesn't exist
@@despot2180 but keep that to yourself cause he is real :)
"Are you eating books?"
"don't lick my mirror,please"
All the same kid XD
Major 😝
"Don't lick my mirror please" 😁
He said it so calmly without a threatening tone.
Haha! You can tell he has been down this road many times now. Bless him!
Dawn Patterson Exactly How It’s Suppose To Be If Your Trying To Be A Good Parent 🤷♀️🙄
I’m a dance teacher and I say that almost daily.... sigh
@@hayleymarse2853 LMAO!!!!
Someone needs to submit him for an extreme home makeover. I’m sure he could use some extra rooms!
Looks like a big house to me. And nice. 2 bedrooms will do. It is actually good for siblings to share rooms.
@@robingarrett3171 it'll probably suck when they get older though
@Erica Cruz-Swanson well, teens definitely need they're own space. As a 13 year old I can confirm most of the kids in my school would want their own room and privacy
Or maybe set up a college fund for donations. A lot of children.
extreme home makeovers is a scam, alot of the people cant pay the bills for the homes
This makes me smile because I was adopted into an African-american family when I was 2 but had been with them since I was 2 months. Things like this is what we need in this world right now.
You can just tell from his face what a kind person he is.
If there’s a heaven, this guy needs to have multiple seats reserve
Amen to that!!
There is! No matter how many good deeds we do here on Earth, we need to have Yahusha as our savior in us and to obey Him!
😆a stadium for him and his kids!
There is but not by works Ephesians 2:8-9 but, by knowing we are sinner and accepting Jesus as are savior John 3:16-22.
J. Rosado I think so , multiple 🥺🥺🥺
To the 17 people who disliked this... what is wrong with you?!
I agree with you
Their evil and miserable.
Same thing that's wrong with you. In your profile picture you look like a bratwurst trying to play as a human.
Steven Daley yassss
Steven yes what's wrong with them....?🙄🤔
My beloved mom was a foster mother for 20 years and fostered so many children in those years. One girl came and spoke in her funeral services and thank us for still being part of her family. This man has a heart of gold!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Our first foster son left us because he wanted to go back to his biological mother and step father.
Two years later, we got a knock on the door. It was our first foster son. He apologized for an hour and a half for things that we didn't even remember.
He is now a nurse in Central Ohio.
Sounds like your mom also had a heart of gold! 💛
he is a living saint. this is what you call a true man.
I can't believe he's single, bless his heart
I believe those 5 kids are why God has allowed him to remain single until now. Maybe a wife would've prevented him from adopting 5 kids so young at his age. God blessings upon him and I pray that God Himself sends him a God fearing submissive Proverbs 31 woman. Bless his heart
He is divorced
@@youpretty5343 ew
@@youpretty5343 your version of beauty is yours and only yours . 18 at his age ? You are a strange one
not everyone needs a "wife" to be happy. you say it like you feel sorry for him. lol lame
If all men can be fathers like you this world would be a different place,
Big Los 💯
@@JOJO-sn5zo I was just thinking this. Depicting Men as "strong mothers" it make me sad for the guy. We completely looked over Mr. Thomas was more than likely depressed. Divorced Dad of two dedicates his life to raising other people's kids. I'd love to hear the story from his own kid's perspective.
If all PEOPLE could be parents like this you mean, sexist creep
It was a woman who left them.
AMEN
This is the type of person I wouldn't mind sacrificing myself to protect.
“Every child that I have had it was my goal to make a different” wow!!, you did sir you did+++ love how you think-
His children will gather around him in his final moments. It will be a sight to behold.
GalaxyKane all those kids he fostered and adopted over the years around him in his final days is picture perfect
Christmas in his home, oh my!!! Would love to see those pictures. November 2019
Let them do some living first okay instead of morbidly thinking about the end.
Made me tear up. What a good heart you have, sir. Great work.
I hope the publicity gets them lots of financial help, including scholarships, childcare, maybe a bigger house, big, reliable auto, vacations, a boat, etc. What a wonderful story, and a fantastic angel who adopted them all. 👼
This is what Prolife looks like, he saved children's lives emotionally and physically!
Gosh. Please. More people should really add that to that belief.
It’s simply being a decent human no matter what by doing the right thing.
Amen!!!!!
With all the horrid news today, this was an actual breath of fresh air.
100% "ahhh"❣
So true, Santa has his wish list ready to be delivered.
I swear!!!!
Agree🙏👏👏👏
Definitely! 💞
There's a special place in heaven for people like him. He's got such a big heart!
I concur, continuous BLESSINGS to all📿
Yesss it is and I know several women that can't have children and ended up adopting children in their family that was on drugs and I've alwayzz said that was their special jobs from god to help the weak or those in times of despair
As an adopted child myself, this hit close to my heart ❤️
I’m happy that you got the love you deserved. 🫡💯
"Don't lick my mirror please."
I cracked UP
God bless his heart. I am seriously inspired by this man.
I pray these children grow up loved and blessed beyond measure!
This MAN has a special place in heaven.God BLESS HIM IN JESUS NAME.
Amen 🙏💖
Oh, yes! God is Faithful! Beautiful Heart!
Amen
How do you all even know if he's a child of god in the first place? I don't believe the video said that. And EVERY place in heaven is special. Are you all catholics or something? The catholic church is the antichrist!
Amen. 🙏🏾
This man has a heart of pure gold. For whoever disliked this video, you really need to go see a counselor.
Epy I agree
Agree
Pretty hopeless
Must be bitter feminists
And we hope that he would live longer and prosperous to see all of his children's become a happy families.
„Papa! Papa!“ - „Yes?“ Amazing! It melts my heart!
The highest power bless this man.
One in a hundred million person right there.
I say bs... there are plenty.
Big Pimping more like 1 in a million
@@qtallenandrews3715 find me more than 70 of them and prove me wrong
He's gonna die.
If religion had anything to do with it, every kid would be adopted. Religion is not an indicator of anything but gullibility.
God looks at this man and smiles good people indeed still exist.
Yes!!
Definitely a Good Democrat. 👍💙✌
He was reading the Bible to the children! .. I love it!.
😁👍🏽👍🏽
@@MisTracy39TheVeganLady Amén❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am also a single dad of 2 kids and your life is truly an inspiration. These kids in your care will definitely be great humans
This is how you save the world, one child at a time, or in this case 5 at a time ! God bless them all.
1:58 " papaa pawpaa 🤨" awww that melted my heart 😭😭😭
If everyone was like this then we would be a lot further along as a people and a planet! What a great dude
if everyone was like this everybody would go crazy
Austin Miller yah but people also have kids for themselves and it’s not physically possible to adopt every child
Hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *Gasp* hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I dunno Chief.
Awesome Human Being, PERIOD 💯
Yes we would and what an awesome guy
What a great man, those kids are gonna love him so much when they’re older
There needs to be some kind of special prize for gentlemen like Lamont. This is an amazing story.
Ever wondered what an angel really looks like?
👆🏿❤️
This man is!!! And Angel in human form
Copy right of angel
Righht 💞
FactZ
Wow, beautiful comment.
I was adopted at birth, along with my older brother and younger sister. All from different birth mothers. I am so thankful that those kids have had a wonderful life with an amazing dad!
God bless you! I hope that you are finding your place in life, too.
" all from different birth mothers " you mean to say from adoptive mothers?
My Dogs Best Fren Nope. Birth mother is biological mother, adoptive mother is the one who adopts them. She and her siblings have different biological mothers but we’re adopted by the same adoptive family, it sounds like.
My sister and I were adopted at birth too! 😊
me to ..God bless
Kirsten S. Kirsten S. Kirsten S. honestly kirsten i get it now.. but if you and OP learned how to use pronouns properly we wouldnt be here. like no way adoptive mother means the mother who adopts 🙃 like i didnt get this far on this youtube video not knowing what a biological mother is 🤣 sheesh..
Wow. What an amazing man. I will think of this family when I’m feeling down.
This man is otherworldly. Some people can't even properly take care of one child, ad this man has literally dedicated his life to save kids from potentially staying in the system. What a man! 👏👏🥇
Oh, when the little boy said "daddy" it melted my heart. They know who loves them.
That is a noble man.... We need a million more like him.
Just a million?
c'mon guys why cant u b one..
A billion or a trillion
kind souls like this make the world go round- bless him
God has a special place for that man in heaven, a very special place.
"They deserve to raise together"
I cried 😭
Note: there is so many orphan siblings out there raise separately.. i am one of them
Oh I'm sorry you had to go through that separation. Are you able to contact your siblings?
💔 that's painful. Praying for your strength and reconnection with your sibling/siblings
Me too
It's great to see a black man doing this! We need to do this more in our communities.
the world needs more men like him, whatever the color... he's amazing!
A lot of black men are actively great mentors. It's just not broadcasted as much as it should be.
This guy is "the man" hands down most inspiring story ive hurd in a long time...im adopted and i think this why this story "touched" me this guys an angel on earth.... your the MAN
This man is a national treasure and we need more like him
Lamont Thomas is a true earth angel and a hero
God bless him
@@juggerswood ok..stop repeating yourself....
@@juggerswood how do you know he could live 30 years more.
@@juggerswood nope 😊
I can totally see Ellen having him on her show.
Will the TAXPAYERS who pay him well and ALSO PAY FOR their rent/food/health care/COLLEGE be on Ellen too ??.??🤔
@@doublezero3338 have a seat!!
@@doublezero3338 monthly pay for a child is like 170 , which is not enough to care for one child, and not to mention all government help disappears when you legally adopt. Coming from a former foster kid. You sound ignorant.
Is there a way to get her to see this?
👍
This is what a true hero looks like.
Lamont Thomas- you are a living saint. Blessings for doing this and raising so many others before them.
These children are so lucky to have such a saint to love them
He found his purpose....A man on mission with warm and kind heart.
What a wonderful man....Gave up a relaxing retirement of fishing to take care of these babies. Such selflessness, we need more men like this! God will have a special place for you sir.
This fellow is God sent. Love his smile and actions. Kids are happy around him. Hope the kids will make him proud when they grow up and become successful and good citizen. Bless
Father of the year? More like man of the year ♡♡♡♡♡.
TH-cam just seems to know when I’m loosing faith in humanity!
NORML Ikr !!!
Fo-real
This guy gets it
So you lose faith in yourself? Just somersault off the second floor of a mall.
NORML right!? Lol
God bless him!
I was adopted and I losed my 3 sibling (founded them just one year ago, after 20 years).
I don't really feel the less of my biological parents couse I have gorgeous adopted family, but I ALWAYS felt the less of my brother and sisters.
If you can, adopt siblings together, it's very important for who loses everything!
❤ the way his kids are dressed, and especially his soft spoken personality! GBU Rose 🌹
Wonderful man, how very lucky these children are.
I just have a lot of respect to this person. He is a great dad .
"Are you eating books?" I laughed at that
This man has a huge heart, he's so wholesome
Omg he’s amazing and selfless for saving those kids. One person could make a difference
Would love to see them 10 years from now .
@Marc3... when you do what you love, it's never "work". Since he's only 48, I'll bet he has MILES to go! :)
Me too
I hope he finds the perfect wife to help him raise those babies. What a kind man.
No words to say how happy this makes me. Bless them forever!
Any woman who gets to marry this man should be blessed , he is a wonderful role model, loving father , amazing heart. He's truly incredible
He’s such a soft spoken person and also a caterer? Those kids will be living good
This man deserves a medal and all the support he can get for making a difference in this many lives.
Why isn't this a big story on everywhere. This man is so kind and has alot of Love. 😍💓 what a truly wonderful person 🎉

You are a father hero. For taking in children who were abandon is a big undertaking you made. I wish this world have more people like you. You are a aingle father too. May God bless and your kids.
