And now they just adopted another baby last week ❤️❤️❤️
Ik Benji is SO cute
And he's the cutest little thing!
yupp🖤.
Pls how mach cost
My favourite part is that like at least a year before hand one of their sons said they wanted them to adopt a brother
*I Gave Birth to my Adopted Twins.*
Me: *spends time to figure out what this meant, gave up and just watched the video.*
Lol I'm reading the comments trying to figure it out rn.😆
why did you take the kids
I did that tooo 😂
K A R E N yeah basically 😂
Good move!
For everyone confused who won't watch the video: she carried and gave birth from an ADOPTED EMBRYO -- kinda like IVF procedures, just this is not the genetic material of her or her husband. Because all the material was donated/adopted.
She wanted to get pregnant and experience giving birth again, but they were having fertility issues so she could not conceive. That is all :)
Keisha James This comment should be pinned to minimise all the other comments
Keisha James 👌🏻 well done
Keisha James so does she like get them from someone who doesn't want them 😂😂😂 sorry I'm confused asf
Keisha James ohhh so kind of like a surrogate but with eggs and sperm?
@@datgirlmeredith5370 Exactly!
Reading the title I thought she gave them up for adoption and ended up adopting them accidentally or something
Same
Same
Nini2 x sameeeeeee
AHAHAHA SAME!!!!
I thought that her mom kept the children
they deserve more recognition than the damn Ace family...
I guess.
Tyah Scott i Know
@@ms.rstake_1211 dont say I guess
That's a very low bar to hurdle
What's wrong with the Ace fams?
The twins are now big sisters to a baby boy 💖😭
Sweet Benjamin 😊😋
Lmao I was so confused by that title
Saaaame I was like "is that a fun way of saying you cheated???"
Same my Brain stopped for a moment
Adopted embryos
@@jenaibrazell6243 yeah we watched the video we got it
Same 😂😂😂
“Just because it’s different and hard, doesn’t mean it’s bad.”
I like that.
As with most things
**sees cute babies**
Me: _Brain.exe has stopped working_
I will now count to 3 and then I am still the unprettiest TH-camr of all time. 1...2...3. Thank you for your attention, dear FRIENDHSOP
@@AxxLAfriku Why are you everywhere?
Your profile pic show's that
Friendship you have 69 likes 😏
**Sees unoriginal TH-cam comment**
Me: Still likes anyways
what a wonderful couple. these are the types of people that should have children. people who want a child so much and do everything they can to have them. thanks for making my day!
People where I live go unusual extents to accomplish that. It's alarming to think someone should take it upon themselves to delay or bar that.
They’re able to afford giving these children a life and be loved.
That is my goal, to get to where I can have an adopted child along with my own- a) give love to someone whom needs it b) teach my children you don’t have to be blood to love and be family
sam M
same but I'm kinda afraid of the adoption process being too difficult and expensive.
sam M
That’s so sweet!
That has been the path I'm known for, helping with two girls from Sao Paulo and two boys from Lagos. But note I only succeeded swerving around the legal things because there are trust issues with the people carrying it out. So in a way they aren't supposed to be here. Avoid the main method if possible. It's worth it. True family comes from the soul.
Яaven Caster you can adopt through foster care (if all the stars align) without losing money, but of course that too can have its complications but it’s possible
Best most selfless channel ever!!!! Go watch their channel and get sucked in. Their new baby (Benji) is just really really sweet!
My bf is a carrier for cf and I have brittle bone disease, but am fit and strong enough to carry a baby I just worry about genetics, and embryo screening cost £20,000 so this would be a great option! Never really heard of this as hadn't looked into parenting much yet but it's definitely something I'll bear in mind now!
@Speaking Truth yeah it is. My sister has it too and has got 4 kids, all hers, it's 50% chance of passing it on and none of hers have it she is so lucky but I don't think I would be! She did have to have cesareans and I probably would too. We have both had 40ish breaks but always heal normally and you wouldnt know to look at us, we both work full time jobs on our feet etc.
This does seem like a great idea for you, but whatever you choose to do good luck to you!
She said in one of her latest QnA that it was like 6 thousand for the twins
Go to Prague. I saw a story that a couple went there, took a week long European vacation, and came back pregnant. All for under $6,000, including the transfer and meds, and genetic testing. Do your research first, but maybe an option?
I hear you. I have T1D and my mate is on the spectrum. One day he became a blood or organ donor to a receiver who happened to be pregnant, and everyone considers him like a true father despite us being barely teens at the time (different donor laws). I couldn't bring myself to do anything embryo-related.
The title isn't "confusing" it's attention grabbing and doing its job well. I'm surprised embryo adoption isn't more well known, and glad for this public education.
still confusing
Its not popular bc its freakin expensive.
It’s attention grabbing by being confusing lol
I feel like the terminology itself is misleading, Adopting refers to taking in a living being. "embryo adoption" implies "life at conception" which may be true for many people but it isn't a universal belief for the origin of life. "cryo-embryo salvaging" and "Embryo donation recipient" would be a less click-baity term to use IMO.
because this is not adoption, its a fucked up way to look at recieving a donated embryo and making all embryos into some sort of living thing. its not, this is not adoption, and they should not receive any recognization for this. they adopted living breathing children before which is indescribably life changing for said child who was being adopted.
I've been watching this family for years and would highly recommend checking them out. There is a link for This Gathered Nest in the description.
Mellissa 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’ve never heard of them until right now- but after hearing about them, their channel name is not only fitting but also just so lovely and quaint.
Same I started watching after Rosie's adoption video
Omggggg I love the, too!
I love them 💕💕💕💕💕
I have never heard of this before and I am incredibly grateful that you shared this story. I have a genetic disorder which has a 50% chance or better of being passed on to a biological child. It is because of this that I decided at the age of 12 that I would adopt. I never thought that I would be able to be pregnant, which, for me personally, as a young woman is both scary and a natural desire. I still intend to adopt, but knowing that I can potentially carry a child without passing on my genetic disorder (which for better or for worse can vary in severity and is not something I wish to pass on) is a gift. Even if I never do it, now I know it's a possibility.
Margaret Thym hi. Just to let you know, IVF has a testing procedure called PGD (pre genetic screening). They can test your embryos for a specific genetic disorder and you can select to only transfer embryos without the disorder.
Wishing you the very best in whatever option you select.
I didn't know this was a thing. I'm intrigued.
케이티애기 same
I felt it was kinda like reverse surrogacy.
It's literally been one of the original premises of IVF from the beginning, they're just using a new marketing term for publicity
Wait. Were they created in a lab? Im confusion
@@someonenew2672 no, left over embryos from another couple that didn't need them
Basically the same thing as a surrogate but she gets to keep the baby at the end
Pretty much
Ohhh 😯 I see that makes more sense. 👍🏻
CUTENESS OVERLOAD and i must be not the only one who confused by the title lol
Your not
Shane squad 💜
Hey!! Yeah I didn't understand it
Why are u everywhere
Iconic I love your pic I live Shane
It is a wholesome story. Thank you BuzzFeed for educating us ❤
Samantha Ronco Yup, you’re correct, Noah was adopted from Congo and Jonah was a domestic adoption.
buzzfeed doens't educate people. it brainwashes people
while everyone else seems to be confused by the title/video, I'm just here super happy to see The Branniff Family expand their audience!!! Been subbed to their channel for almost 2 years now, LOVED EVERY SINGLE VIDEO.
What a wonderful story. Embryo adoption can save so many lives of babies who would otherwise be discarded. Hats off.
Gaby Champion 🙌🏼🙌🏼
It’s amazing that they were connected to the birth mother blood yet they’re not biologically related. Wow! Amazing. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy, Benjamin. ❤️
I’ve been following this family for like 2 years. They are hilarious, loving and sweet.
OliviaAlexandra Weber hey there!
Omg it's ThisGatheredNest!!! I didnt expect to see them on buzzfeed!!
Michelle Anne hey there!
Awwww......how beautiful!They are your children even if they are embryo adopted.This is amazing for parents that want children and have fertility problems.All you need is love and they are your children.
I absolutely love their channel. Thrilled to see them here
Payton Vandy thanks!
Payton Vandy Same! When I saw the thumbnail I already knew what was up! Hopefully this gives their channel and boost is subs!
Me too!! I’ve been watching them for so long!
i've been watching this channel for years. Love that they're getting recognition
The Truth 🙌🏼😉
I’ve been following this family since they adopted Rosie! I’m so glad their story has been shared
I appreciate you bringing light to this lesser talked about option for having children. As a woman born without eggs or ovaries who can’t conceive.. this is something I would genuinely look into. So thank you
I am a huge fan of This Gathered Nest and it's so exciting to see them on buzzfeed! I hope this sends them some well deserved subscribers!
Stephanie Cho 😉
So am I! I was like whaaat
I never knew embryo adoptuon was a thing. Very informative video 👍
When I saw the thumbnail I was like Angela?? Why are you uploading this now and then realized that this is buzzfeed. IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. I seriously love you and your nest(family)
Me but U 👌🏻👌🏻😉
This is so cool! My boyfriend and his twin sister are adopted embryos and I had no idea how the process went. Thanks for the education.
Love CR and Angie. This Gathered Nest is a beautiful family. Thank you BuzzFed for bringing awareness to them. They are truly special people with hearts of gold💛💛💛💛
anye76 we appreciate the kind comment and the support!
I am an egg donor and I love seeing stories of families who have given birth to adopted eggs. you guys are amazing and I love your family.
Who ever reads this comment, have a super great day! 💜☺
I'm holding you to it. Lol
Have a good day as well!!
Sha&Shan DIY awwww ur too sweet.. same to u hun..💕💕
It's 8 pm while I'm reading this
No u
Awww! I have been following this family since the adoption of their daughter from china. They are such a lovely family! Chicken and Milly are adorable babies. ❤💓
I'm an adopted embryo...and I'm a triplet.
Triplet as in you were conceived by the same person or did all of you complete your births in the same person
I've been watching This Gathered Nest for over a year now. Wonderful family! It's cool to see them getting media attention; I hope they inspire others to adopt.
Immediately I saw the thumbnail and her red hair and recognized this gathered nest! LOVE THEM they’re amazing
I love this family. I have watched This Gathered Nest for several years now. They are wonderful people. ❤️💜
This Gathered Nest is one of my FAVORITE youtube channels. I've been following their family since they announced that they were adopting Rosie from China! :)
Emma N 😉
Emma N ME TOO
Me too!
Me too! I was from Handan.
How amazing! I think it is so sweet that you adopt babies that no one wanted. More people should do this.
I knew these people since they had less than 10K subs.. didn't hear from them in a while nor have I looked at their youtube channel in a while.. good to see them! congratulations if you guys read this!
omgg same samee since they adopted noah for meee
I didnt even know there could be embryo adoption, its amazing that you can carry and grow a baby in your womb that is not genetically related to you. It's very sweet
How did I not know Angie was doing this..
Emma Sprigle 😉
My thoughts exactly!!!
well welcome back then, binge watch them, the girls are great!
They mentioned it one of their vlogs.
She posted on community
I love this family. I've been following them for years since they first started adoption. But haven't been up to date with them in the last year or 2 so had no idea they decided to go through embryo adoption. Honestly, so wholesome! They have huge hearts and if you enjoy family channels, you'll really like them
Iqra Arshad thanks for the kind words! Don’t be a stranger 😉
This is how I want me family to look when I’m older - a bunch of kids that are adopted that have different cultures 💛
OMG! I'm Angela's fan for 3 years. So surprised to see her there. She is smart and beautiful. Their family is very interesting to watch!
Anna Tairova hey thanks!
Yay this gathered nest is my FAVORITE
They really are an awesome family you should check out their Channel their daughter Rosie is so amazing their boys are incredible I absolutely love the way she takes care of her children and she loves every single one of them so very much
Crystal Case ME TOO
wow i'm so proud of andrea. i've been watching her for three years now and i'm glad more people can get to know her amazing family
Andrea or Angela ?
I love Angela and CR and all of their adorable children! Such a fun family to watch on TH-cam. Love them. ❤️❤️
If anyone ever asked me to have a child for them I will in a heart beat. To give life is beautiful ♥️
*Unrelated topic*
The way he looks at her ♥‿♥
That's a sign of family
Wow... I didn’t even know this was an option... I would love to do this if I were to ever have issues with infertility. Also, side-note, I really love this couple! The love they have for each other and their children is so heartwarmingly apparent 💕
Angela and CR are wonderful and I love watching their videos, so happy they got a chance to share their story with a bigger audience!!
U guys r my heroes!😍 Ppl don't seem to understand then I explain my point of view, that family can come in many forms and sizes and that dna doesn't have to play a part in it to create that bond 😍 thx 4 showing the world that when u feel like a family you aren't "like a family" u ARE a family 🙌
Was anyone else confused by the title
THOROUGHLY!!!!!!!! 😆
I was very confused
YEP
Sugar&Spice no it’s actually not clickbait
Sugar&Spice not click bait!!! You just don't understand the eggs are not their own so they adopted the eggs and used them to give birth
I thought this was going to be something like in the Handmaid's Tale where the Wives pretended to give birth while the handmaids actually gave birth. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. This was heartwarming.
I thought this was this gathered nest! I didn’t realize it was buzzfeed at first!😂
Also who else noticed that they’re in their homeschool room!?☺️😂😂
this world surprises me each day ..babies are a wonderful gift when you are ready for one.
This family is great, and they don’t stage things like some channels, also they’re naturally funny, if you can subscribe to them I’d suggest it.
I love this family. They're what love is about. Race is one human race and that equals LOVE.
Megan Slonksnis 🙌🏼
Angie! Love her & CR's channel! Such a beautiful, open soul. God bless your heart!!
Melody Rose thanks!
I can't believe Angela has a Buzzfeed video! You guys need to subscribe to her! Love her and her family!
So brave, so strong, so generous ❤️💪 This is such an amazing family!
So 7 children not Biologically yours But 7 kids and they’re all yours. LOVE that ❤️
I absolutely LOVE this gathered nest!!! Such a wholesome and kind family 🤧❤️
I adore this family so much, I have been watching their videos for like 3 years now and I love them, they are a wonderful family.
I love them do much. They recently adopted a newborn baby boy
This is my absolute favorite family. I cannot express how much I adore every single one of them and the message they share: family is chosen and special. It makes me emotional to see how wonderful and inspiring they are. ♥️
This video warmed my heart. They are so sweet.
I’ve watched this family since they adopted their Daughter Rosie from China, so inspiring ❤️
Thank you so much for this. I am a practicing Catholic and most ART methods are out to me. Before I watched this I had never heard of embryo adoption. However, since the embryos might be disposed of anyway, this looks to be an alternative option for me. Thank you sooooooo much!
It has been a privilege watching ivy and Amelia, as well as Rosie, Jonah, Noah, kennedy and Shelby grow! Thanks Angela and CR! 💖🇨🇦
How have I never seen this video until now?! I’ve been following the Braniffs for years!
I love the Braniff family so much and have been subscribed to them for years! It’s been amazing to watch their journey and I’m so glad they were able to share one of their stories on such an awesome platform. Hoping that everyone watching checks them out! The world needs more people like Angela and CR❤️
Kayla Cull awe thanks! Very kind.
I knew exactly who’s family this was from the thumbnail I love this family so much they are the best!!❤️❤️
Stephanie F 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Me too! I love them so much!
I couldn't even tell. They looks so much like you both. Very beautiful story and interesting to learn about! God bless your beautiful family ❤🙏
My twin and I are a product of embryo adoption and it is no different from our two siblings that are genetically my parents’. Family is much more than genetics 😊
i think those are the cutest babies I've ever seen
It's been a long time since I've watched a buzzfeed's video I actually found interesting and good. Loved it❤
The greatest TH-cam family of all time. Love you guys!
Kate Lynch ❤️❤️
Im so confused rn when i saw the thumbnail
I’m more confused about your name-
Yall dont know that vine (im offended)
Boom a child
me and my twin are adopted, not through the same way though.
but you guys are doing such amazing things! giving these kids a future is such a blessed thing to do :)
RONNIE ❤️❤️
This gathered nest is one of the best channels to watch! Love you guys!
Bianca H thank you for all the support!!
The embryos are from people who had left over and don’t want to terminate them, so they give them to people who can’t produce eggs or sperm or just don’t want to go to through egg collection. So many embryos will never be used, so it’s beautiful to give them an opportunity
Title: I have birth to my adopted twins.
Me: I am confusion
OMG I can't believe they made this video with BuzzFeed. I watch them on their channel and I love them so much ❤
Martina.xoxo 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love this gathered nest! I also love the idea of embryo adoption. I really would love to adopt, but ive always figured it would be a child who has placed for adoption by his birth parents. Ive always wanted an open adoption with a birth family and being able to have that opportunity to bring people into my family for such an amazing reason. I also think embryo adoption is just the coolest thing, but im not sure I want that many kids to be able to do both. I want at least one biological if the universe decides that path for me, but I don't want anymore than three. This momma is something special with her 7! Her kiddos are just the most precious!! I am so thankful there are families like theirs out there cause I certainly would not be able to take on all she has!
Abbie Leber hey there!
CR8GFU _ I should add and this dad too!!!! You guys are such an awesome family to watch!!!!
@@gymblondie I understand your point but to my mind, the embryo adoption isn't the "coolest thing" because if you want a child and are looking into the adoption option , there are a LOT of children living in orphanages that are waiting for a family and I believe the families adopting should prioritize over frozen embryos that aren't born yet. Plus, we live in an overpopulated planet and I am not sure that having more children via embryo adoption is the best adoption, considering that there's already plenty of kids waiting for a great family :)
@@annalefrancois3423 Im pretty sure thats what I said. Im not sure if you are agreeing or if you are stating your opinion is different than mine. I meant I always planned on an adoption that wasn't an embryo adoption. Its incredibly interesting but I don't think with the amount of kids I want, it would ever be an option because I would "traditional" adopt first. I'd love an international adoption, that would be first and foremost in my mind, but there are plenty of children in the united states that need homes as well. Sorry if my comment wasn't clear, I still think embryo adoption is the "coolest thing" because how cool that our bodies are able to do that and science and technology has figured that out.... thats the way I meant it, but either way I think adoption is an amazing thing and I would love to have my family grow with it someday. I
Hi! I’m also a mom through biology, adoption, foster care adoption and IVF. We made 13 high quality embryos! 😳 Needless to say, I don’t intend to have 13 babies and we consider placing our embabies for adoption. I found out that if this is something the bio family would consider or want, you could also have a relationship with them! Just like an open adoption. In MY opinion they already exist and are also worthy of a change to thrive and a loving family! ❤️ Best wishes!
They are an amazing family. To be able to have and give life to kids that are not your own and adopt kids from another country, go through so much emotions ,paper works, investigations etc . You do have to go through a lot to adopt and idk if I would’ve had the patience to do that 5 times.
Ok but my biggest question is wtf do they do for a living where they can support 7 kids!?
Miss_Kisa94 she used to be a photographer, now she’s a TH-camr and her husband works at a bank I think! Most of their children are homeschooled 😊
Honestly though, it’s really none of your business....
@Speaking Truth yea but adoption is expensive and I'm guessing so it embryo adoption
@@tozzilil ahhh ur one of those people who just need to fight / defend a TH-camr who A. Can defend themselves if they want .... B.if someone says anything negative
It’s really not that impossible. I’m from a family of 10 kids and we all lived very comfortably with my parents both working full time, my dad in a warehouse and mom in an office. Never needed any type of extra income
I love this family and their vlogs. Angie is so understanding of the adoption process and is such a warm presence. As parents these two are amazing and it's refreshing to see.
Danelle J awe thanks!
Never heard of them, but they are so cute! Nice couple.
*I gave birth to my adopted twins*
Me: WARNING WARNING, BRAIN IS OVERHEATING. SHUTTING DOW IN 3...2...1...
**sees title**
Me: *_i am confusion .-._*
**two hours later...**
Me: *_okay I'm just gonna watch the damn video_*
♥️♥️♥️ this family needs more attention. Been following them for a while and i love every single video on their channel
Linh Pham thanks Linh!
How are people confused by the title? Embryo adoption isn't new. How sheltered and ignorant of the world are people who frequent Buzzfeed?
So many options for having a family. I didn't know about this one. I've struggled for infertility for almost 10 years, as do many women. Thank you for making this video. ❤️
