I would love to read a book from you on HOW you raise your adopted children. How do you strengthen their self-esteem, sense of self, how you deal with haters, how you teach them about their biological origins, all of that. Not necessarily from a factual scientific perspective (because lots of those books exist) but more about how you do it personally. And then also how raising adoptive children has changed your parenting. Okay lol, I'm going to watch the rest of your video now but I just wanted to get that out.
Deborah Ayanna agree, I would buy this book ❤️
I second that!! 👍👍
I'd buy it
The poop story has me in tears 😅😅😅 this is the most relatable parenting story ever 🙌🤣🤣🤣
🥱😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
I am adopted and grew up knowing I was. There is an old book my parents used to read to me which is called” the Family that Grew” about adoption and how an adopted child is chosen, which makes them special.. my copy is in pieces but it is one of my most precious possessions. Don’t know if it is in print now but it is such a special book for an adopted child
I think it would be cool if you made a children’s picture book
Yes! Especially a book that biological children could read in a family that fosters/adopts.
So sorry you have been having some internal struggles! This year has been so hard on everyone. Would love to hear more about it and your coping mechanisms when you’re ready. I had a baby in April and have been on PPD meds. Trying to stay positive every day that this will end soon and we will get to see friends and family again and get some help with the kiddos. Love you and your channel!
7:56 you’re such a good mother and woman 😭 I definitely need a lesson or two in grace
A book about how you cultivate your heart for family. In this day and age, what you are doing in your successful *MARRIAGE* where you raise 8 children together is incredibly counter cultural. It wasn't always. A book about getting back to the roots of family life and how you cultivate your heart for marriage and motherhood.
My husband and I have know each other since 1991...meaning, we have GROWN UP TOGETHER! That familiarity definitely factors into our current relationship. VERY comfortable with one another 🙃
I have 11 kids and I laughed until I cried at the poop story! I love your channels and get so much encouragement from you. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Love your videos! So inspiring and motivational! Love how you just keep it real. God bless from Northern Ireland!
I’m so glad you mentioned the flirty sarcastic nature of your relationship, me and my hubby are jr high sweethearts and the same way lol
You are the best- Your answers are so real & honest- very wise, too! How special for your children to be raised in this family. I love everything about You, CR, the kids! How exciting to have this homestead - including the extended family eventually living on the land!
God bless you & the family.
Advocating for and caring for so many children with different personalities, needs, backgrounds, etc. I feel like that could definitely become a book quickly! I love your family dynamic!
Oh my gosh Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas film ever. I live in Derby in the UK and last Christmas the cathedral showed it on a large screen which was the most amazing experience to watch. I am not normally a Christmas lover due to past Christmas experiences but with all the stuff going off right now, I feel the need to celebrate something. So Christmas it will be. 😀🎉
😆 oh the poop!! I unfortunately have the worst story IN THE WORLD involving me and poop so I’m with you when you just have to laugh and realise life is too short. Also, the story the CR the other day and the horse fly had me rolling around with tears streaming down my face 😂
Thank you, Angie!
You are such a blessing!
HOW do you LEARN to laugh things off and let things roll off your back and have fun even on such hard days? and not take things too seriously?
Oh my goodness the poop story had me laughing so hard my belly hurts. That is so something my twins would do 😂
Aw i hope when you said you're struggling to weigh up what you are/aren't enjoying anymore about your job that doesn't mean quitting TH-cam!! Of course you have to do the best for you, but the internet is definitely a brighter place for having your family in it ☺️
The poop catastrophe story had my literally laughing out loud, but only because it is SO relatable!!! You’re so right, if you can’t take these moments and learn how to laugh at them then you’re going to make yourself miserable. Gotta roll with the punches! ❤️ You are inspirational to me in countless ways!!!
I wondered about your previous dream of travelling the country with your family, in your trailer. Is that still something you are interested in or has the new property changed that?
I had some the same question 😊
I had a really bad day until now but your poop story made me giggle. I don't want to laugh at your carpet's expense haha but thank you for this raw honesty!
I think you have a "Fun" farm. Its fun and educating for your children; its fun for you to get your "dream" pets; its fun for us watching your videos too. I think one day your dream is to bring children (special needs maybe) to your farm for "fun learning" and maybe therapy for them too. ❤
It's not fun, it's hard work every day...you're just confused lady....
Great Q & A Angela. Can't wait to see part two. I saw you in an interview the other day on 700 Club. ☺ Hope you and the kids have a great Halloween.
Awww, you're awesome! I'm so excited for this stage of your life and watching your dreams come true.
I’m with you on the definition of a farm. We live on 2 acres and only have 4 chickens and a small garden. But we’re constantly calling it our farm. Our favorite saying when doing any type of outdoor maintenance is “Farming is hard!” 😆
I’m literally lol-ing as you’re telling the poop story! I’m sorry, but 😂. You’re perspective about those situations is right on.
I absolutely love your videos! You and your family inspire me. Love from a Brazilian follower 🇧🇷❤️
also, I’m really impressed with the manner of women you are. You inspire me to be closer to Our Heavenly Father and focus on the manner of woman and mother I am. Have you shared about your upbringing? I’d love to know how you’re able to “tap into” those strengths of confidence and collectedness. I often feel like I don’t measure up. I can be very militant on myself and I become overwhelmed and discourage. I know you’re human and all, but you seem to have a good grasp of things. It’s hard for me to imagine myself in your shoes.
I think a book on mom misadventures would be hilarious.
Would love farm videos. Animals, books and routines. Plus more homeschool book hauls :)
I think your hair always looks super good but I also did love the curls!
Love your Rosie adoption story. We have a daughter from Korea who just turned 30 yrs. old. Your story brings back memories of her adoption! We are so lucky to have her. She is now married and is a pre-school intervention specialist. Best of luck to you and your beautiful family!
More of these videos. Love to get to know ppl on a personal level. New subscriber here 🙋🏻
Have you seen the Xmas movie with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. Maybe Four Christmases? It’s hilarious 😆
You and CR’s flirty banter is seriously beautiful. The way you guys look at each other is with so much love it fills my heart.
My partner and I are similar. And also met in middle school. Interesting correlation!
The holiday is definitely a Christmas movie, one of my favs ❤️🙌
Thanks for the video!:) You and your husband are so cute!!:)
About you and CR!! That's my husband and I too. We've known each other since my husband was 12 and I was 13, so it definitely reads into our relationship in our 30's. We have moments of immaturity and tons of laughter. It's fun.
I died when you said Christmas with the Kranks because that has been my go to the last couple of years! Didn't expect you to say that! Never hear people talking about it
I love that movie! It’s great to watch whilst wrapping presents. :)
I need to hit lotto, you guys are living my dream!!!!! Love the new puppy and all the work you have done so far amazing.
I absolutely
I have 2 kids and I'm exhausted. Angela how do you so it????? The thought of a 3rd child is not even a thought! Seriously what am I doing wrong?? I commend u!! A family of 8 with a farm😩😩 yall pray fa me!!! Angela keep up the excellent work!!
My guess for what your dream is for your hobby farm is for it to be a therapy farm. 😁
Yes, or a working small farm for young adults with special needs.
Ditto!!
Yes, the holiday is a christmas movie for sure! It’s a favourite of mine as well. This Q & A was fun! I really like to see you and CR together, you seem to have a great relationship. I have chickens, they are so fun and we love the fresh eggs 🥚 would love to have a minipig, your pigs are sooo cute 🐷🐷
I’m sure it’s awesome to get fresh eggs every day!
I love Rosie's adoption story
I think you should write a book about secondary infertility. I honestly didn’t even know it was a thing until I watched your video and I think it’s important. Adoption would be great too!
Would you please write a children's book on embryo adoption? I have a 3 year old and am currently pregnant, both being conceived from embryo adoptions. I have only seen a couple books and nothing that really comes from a Christian perspective. While my 3 year old knows she's adopted and completely loved and so wanted, I really need something for her to read and is tangible that she can say that's my story; see how special I am.
Why don't YOU write a book? You are the perfect person to do it.
I had been meaning to watch this video since yesterday but with homeschool and working hadn’t had time til this morning. We have a rule in our large family that we never eat out more than once every couple weeks. So last night we decided to go get burgers for take out. The kids grabbed the dogs for our car ride- one of which is a 10 week old labradoodle puppy. He got scared and pooped all over the 3rd row- it was such a mess and I got so frustrated cleaning it for 30 min afterwards. So thank you for sharing your poop story! It made me feel a little bit better!
PLEASE READ YOUR NEXT BOOK TOO! It was such an easy listen 💜
Thx for the update!! I truly admire how much u do & with SUCH GRACE❤️😘🙏🏻 #momgoals #youresochill 😘
Completely agree with your analysis of your adoption journeys. Our first one started very wide open but thankfully we got matched with our older 2 in 9 months so we had a goal we were pushing for at the end. But it was all very non-date constrained initially, and we felt like there was little we could do to control the process. Our second time was for their twin younger brothers, so it was a done deal that we would be adopting them unless something went completely sideways. Everyone was working toward the same goal to finalize their placement with us and very much looking to make that happen as quickly as possible.
I loved hearing about rosies adoption! I’m tearing up♥️
I thoroughly enjoy your videos and watch your channels everyday while having my morning coffee, you and your family are awesome! Love your videos and family! Wishing you all many blessings, peace, love, and joy!
I'm definitely team children's picture book about adoption. Like the picture book you wished existed to read your kids to get them ready for adoption back in the beginning.
I watch The Holiday every year!! Puts me in such a good mood.
I watch all your video regardless of this aspect but I loved what you did with this thumbnail! ❤️
The poop story was just real life. Thanks for sharing about your ways to stay positive 💕
You live large and inspire others to do so as well. I really appreciate that about you.
A book about starting a mini farm as a family!!
Love how you explained your relationship with hubby.
I love the visual instant gratification of creating something with my hands are doing some project with my hands.
I also get copper highlights in the fall with darker blonde. Love copper.
I'm so glad you have comments. Thank you so much for taking us along on your hobby farm. It's so much fun. I read something on TH-cam about how to have a chicken sit in your lap. You'll have to look it up. Also there is a book about house bunnies that it so cute. One lives in a lighthouse. Don't know if it's still in print. Love watching the little pigs!
Farm children's book. Use your mixed ethnicity children as the ones in the book. So fun!!!!
This is great! Thank you for your answers! 💕
I can think of a future book in several years from now as you are starting your journey on your new property and hobby farm. If you aren't already, start journaling little stores and experiences that you and your family have. Would love to read a book about the reflections, stories, lessons on a farm, raising children on a hobby farm, funny, happy, challenging stories. You could also wrap your faith around the book as well.
I'd love a book about your journey to and life on the farm! :)
Me and my husband are the same way 😂🤷🏻♀️. Honestly most of my friends seems to have the same relationship with their husbands and it seems to work. Your poop story 😂. I feel that. We have a new puppy who pooped on the floor then my 1 year old decided to stick her foot in her own poop later that same day 😑😭
My husband and I had what I consider the best compliment given to us at a restaurant one time from a sassy teenage waitress. She thought we were just friends and was surprised that we were married because we were laughing, high fiving, and hanging out like best friends. She meant it as a burn but we were actually quite proud😂😂😂
Is the dream animal a Ostrich ? Also would love a children’s book 📚
I enjoyed this video! Everyone’s relationship/marriage is different. I’m a mom of 8 as well. 💛
Infertility and the adoption process from the different aspects you experienced and how not to get discouraged
❤️
I love my silkie 🥰 she actually lays really well too and just hatched out four babies for us! They are sweet, every flock needs a few token silkies 🥰
I just wanted to tell you Angie I enjoyed that QNA it was very good and interesting God-bless you all I like your little Mini farm and I love your house it's so awesome
Good morning pretty lady!! Saw the Llama pics and they’re so cute!!!
Angie thanks for the poop story you started it when i was eating it was funny that BB 8 is just a hand full !GOD BLESS you all!!
We have the same taste in classic Christmas movies! Muppets and White Christmas all the way! And when you were talking in your recent vlog about starting Christmas as soon as Halloween is done... My best friend in highschool and I had a tradition where we finished whatever we were going to do for Halloween and then came back to my house and watched White Christmas. 😄 Because that's when Christmas started for us!
I love hearing about Rosie's adoption. Can you please help me find the airport video? I've tried using a link in one of your videos but it did not work. Thanks! I love your q and a videos.
If you type in "Rosie's emotional airport homecoming" into the search bar it should come up :)
The Silkie is a breed of chicken named for its atypically fluffy plumage, which is said to feel like silk and satin.
Mariela Que you’re so awesome 💘
Totally off topic but your makeup is absolutely beautiful!! What products do you use?
I have 2 silkies, they lay eggs too! They are so tiny and adorable and tell my big chickens what's up😂
I’m sure it’s awesome to get fresh eggs! They’re a heck of a lot better than store bought.
I would love a book with funny stories and memories like your poop story! 😂
I’m a mom of 7 and I totally get the poop 💩 story. 😂 😂 😂
How many people were in the middle of watching the Miller Fam and got notified of Angela’s video, not sure what to do, then fished watching the Millers and jumped over?
same
I saw both. For me angela inspired me on my day on day life.
I just love listening to you talk about your family. You are a strong lady a Amazing Mommy and a wonderful wife and a sweet daughter ❤. I raised 3 daughters think every Mom is quite Amazing we do it all. Just seems to never stop but we just keep on going when my kids were in middle school and high school I took 5 kids in that their families weren't treating them good. I took on working 2 8 hour jobs then a 3rd job a couple of the kids were out of school and working but they were living in their cars so they helped get my kids fed and to their after-school activities. It's not easy being a single mom i got a divorce after my 3rd child was 1. I never got a dime from their Dad. I never had enough money for bills or food. I went days without eating as long as the kids ate that's all that counted
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love animals we had about every kind of small animals and can't tell you how many cat's and dogs we had during the 18 years my kids were home. People dropped off dogs all the time we had 2 acres then another 10 in back with a pond we rented. My kids loved animals too. They were always begging me to take a animal when someone was giving it away. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. 😁❤
You will absolutely love your beautiful new Pyrenees puppy. As a mom to 3 of them (ours are indoors...) they are amazing dogs. Loving and insanely smart.
I would look a book all about your adoption experience and advice xx
You should make your 2 book about how your life change like you move to a fram and how fram life is and more
I'm laughing so hard at the toilet brush story, because no word of a lie 2 days ago i pulled out my toilet brush to scrub the toilet and found that exact same mess of poop in there LOL
As a chicken mom (lol), if you get silkies make sure you careful when mixing them with other “normal” chickens. Because they look so different other chickens will peck at them badly.
I really think you should write a book about the after math of adoption. Post adoption depression, bonding, trauma ect.
I loved your q&a. I have been wondering recently: do you plan to bring back your podcast with CR?
Love your. Craziness,you guys are a breath of fresh air.You are so pretty and always look immaculate X🌹
I'd love to hear more about raising Rosie! What parenting and homeschooling her looks like, compared to the other children
The holiday is my fav Christmas movie!!! I watch it every year. You guys may enjoy the family man with Nicholas Cage
I would love to read a book on how to be sooooooo incredibly calm and having time for yourself and work with 8 kids??!!! Like I have 3 I go to work and currently in school and I’m going crazy!!🤪
Omg I want silk chickens and also the frizzle! They are so cute!
Enjoy your videos! I have to ask you why you chose llamas for your new mini farm? I have heard that llamas can be difficult animals, but alpacas are great animals to raise. Wondering why llamas were your choice.
It's her favorite animal
Alpacas are just as difficult... They all spit at you if they dislike you or if you do anything unpleasant... I am a vet:)
Another book 📖 I’m buying that too. I have the first one and when I get time I read it it is worth it
I love you and Your husbands flirtiness and picking, it is not the most conventional and it is another look at a relationship for us younger and it has honestly I admire y’all. The conventional, sitting in each other laps giggling fairytale is all we see and people think that if that isn’t their relationship then there is something wrong.
Susu want to talk about this? Because I see this type of behavior in my marriage and I’m not sure if I like it 🙃
Melinda Munoz Different styles of flirting for different couples. But if you’re not comfortable with the pick-on-me flirting style, you should let your husband know asap!
