I have been in the process of trying to adopt a legally free/waiting child. EVERY single agency I’ve spoken to has tried to discourage me from adopting one of these kids saying they are too “difficult”, have too many “needs”, and there is a “reason” why they are waiting and no one else has adopted them. How sad; no one in my state seems to be advocating for these kids. The agencies make it so hard to get through the red tape; not as easy as in the movie.
Many agencies require foster before adopt, because state laws desire most for reunification. However, due to addiction issues, housing issues, or job retention on birth families part, these cases often move to adoption. They begin in foster. Foster families have the first choice of adoption before they’re moved to general adoption. Most often than not, foster families adopt.
We ALL deserve a second chance ❤❤❤❤❤❤🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I think it’s good to know what you are getting into. Some children have a lot of extra needs. This isn’t a bad thing, they just need a specific person who can give them extra attention and care. I think some people feel called to care for maybe more challenging children, and they are really amazing individuals.
They are telling the truth. I am speaking as someone that was adopted.
@@practicallyheidi8505 your saying these kids don’t deserve a chance?
I was a foster child from 13-19. My foster mom handled “specialized foster kids” which means she took the difficult kids and would try to help us through our trauma and help to heal the wounds and move on. She was amazing. I plan to follow in her footsteps as soon as my babies are old enough for me to focus on another one.
It's so wonderful that you want to help those in need , I imagine it will be a great blessing to you as well as them. God bless you and yours. 😃 👍
God bless her and you.
Good for you!! I truly admire that and respect the hell outta you for what you do for those kids!!!☮️❤️🙏🫂🇺🇸✝️
Your foster mother is an angel.
Can I get some advice? We have family members who are fostering and these kids are so bent, not broken, but man. They steal, they do all sorts of things which I suppose is rooted in fear as they have no safety, no one chooses them and maybe those who do are so deeply disturbed or addicted etc they don't have much hope left. So in my estimation they need to feel safe, seen, valued, chosen. Can you help me understand perhaps what they can do for the kids, from a former kid in foster I figure you would be a good one to as. I would foster but I got reported for spanking my kids and am automatically disqualified. I sometimes think I would like to help people coming out of foster at 18 as some may need help adulting, finding a home base, being encouraged.
My husband and I did not become foster parents in order to adopt. We had the intention of fostering teens in hopes of providing a landing place while helping to prepare them for adulthood. However, one thing our agency told us over and over again was to not have an expectation of what a child placed in our home would be like. We decided to be open to whatever came our way. In October 2021 we were asked to take in two sisters aged 1 & 2. Though we were not prepared at all for little ones, we agreed. In December 2021, we were asked to take in their two month old brother. We again agreed. In July 2022, we were told their mother had had another baby and were asked if we would take him in as well. We felt very strongly that we should do everything we could to keep the siblings together so we again agreed. I can honestly say DHS worked so hard to reunite these kids with either of their birth parents, and gave them so much time and grace and opportunity. And we were happy to be a part of that reunification process, but it was never a safe or consistent environment for them to return to. We are now in the final stages of adopting all four siblings.
God bless you and your future together! ❤
God bless you and your family. Truly inspiring. I will be praying for you ❤
I adopted my daughter. I met her when she was 10 and adopted her when she was 12. God lead me to her, I truly believe this. I went to see this movie on June 29. I love this depiction. What a beautiful story. I am thankful for my large family that were there for my family, this was by no means easy. What an amazing experience for a community. God, brought me through. My daughter will be 20 and has given me more in life than I ever gave her ❤ Thankful I listened to Gods calling. So many children in need.
May God Bless You. I thank God for your life for helping others.
I was in foster care and facilities parts of my life growing up and let me just say for most of us, that is a very broken, abandoned, and lonely road we’ve had to walk alone. Thank God for His presence in my life while I was going through those things. Thank God that I was able to find happiness in God later on down the road. I will never abandon the beautiful children that God has blessed me with. Raising them and giving them the life I always needed but never had, is healing my heart from all the past trauma ❤️🩹
Praise God for His redeeming love! He brings beauty from ashes in ways we could never expect. Thanks for telling your story. 💓
❤️🙏
The government doesn't want the children adopted. This is one of the ways they traffic them. Unfortunately the guidelines/requirements are so strict that it's almost impossible.
Absolutely right. They also use those high adoption costs like a business to profit off the ones who are trying to do the right thing smh basically selling them. It’s so messed up, there’s some horrible people at the top.
Drum roll.... they are modern day SLAVES. Once they end up in the prison pipeline, they are blocked from certain jobs, they have to become wage slaves. And prisons get free labor off of them too
Yeah the trailer kinda triggered me. Maybe 39 years ago children and teens were adoptable now the goal is to keep children in the system so they can justify their government jobs. I think this will send alot of false hope to people thinking adoption through foster care is easy.
@@jamesrobinson2138 I recently started trying to adopt and was shocked at the cost! it feels so unethical, especially when it comes to infant adoption. Literally feels like people are selling these babies to the highest bidder. I decided infant adopt was not for me because of this so decided to try to adopt a waiting child from the foster system only to be met with another set of unethical issues. Change needs to happen and laws need to be set in place to protect these kids.
This is true, my spouse and myself tried it, the government made it hard. We stopped the process because it was exhausting.
Dear Candace,
Hello, from an adoptive mom in South Africa. I do believe it is a calling. I knew I wanted to adopt from the moment I learnt what it was as a child. I told my now husband 2 weeks into dating that I had this calling and thank God he was 100% on board.
What we didn't know at this stage is that we would face the great heart ache of Infertility. I married later in life and was completely brainwashed by the liberal left and was focused on what I now believe were the wrong things in my 20s!
I am passionate about educating women about their fertility and not to wait. God works all things for the good of those who love God and while the grief of infertility continues to sting, I am amazed at the beautiful family we have been given. We are in the process of adopting our third child. I think it's important to go in with eyes open... these kids have had a big break in attachment. But by God's grace we pray continuously that Jesus will heal their hearts as they journey forward with the cards they were dealt. I believe God does something spiritual in an adoption. After all He adopts us us into His Kingdom.
Yes, Good shines a light on adopted parents for the amazing work they do. Thank you for stepping up in this way. ❤❤
God bless you
No one puts Candace in the corner! I was shocked and delighted that you put out a video today, on the feast day of Peter and Paul no less! I love that you had on this amazing couple, I am so looking forward to seeing this film! I don’t go to the movies often but this is one film I know I cannot miss! Children are so precious and we live in a world where we worship death! We need to wake up in this country and realize how our actions are going to shape the future of this country! We need to spend less time worrying about ourselves and more time investing in our communities like the families depicted in the film! And it seems you are going to be the one to wake up the people who have been complacent for too long, as our society unravels and the weakest among us are taken advantage of or fall by the wayside. “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” God bless you dear sister! God bless America. Christ is King! 🙌
Our son just turned 4 years old and we have had him since he was 6 weeks old. We have been trying to adopt him since we first got him. The biological parents have had all 6 kids taken at birth. The judge gave the biological parents 5 years to get their act together. We consider our son a biological son. He’s the child we have because I had a total hysterectomy in my early twenties from cancer. Also we have never taken any money to take care of him. It’s terrifying to think in about a year for any reason the judge could give him back. Also the 6 weeks before we got our son the biological parents did horrific things to him our precious little boy. Not only our heart breaks but I can’t imagine our baby crying himself to sleep wondering why mommy and daddy got rid of him.
I've had my 14 year old for going on 7 months. It's hard but we have faith we are doing our part. We prayed to let the right kid come into our life. And I continue to pray to help guide me with every conversation we have. Please pray for us as she is still trying to understand real love from a foster dad.
❤ praying for you all.
So much respect 🫡
🙏🙏🙏
Blessings to you!!
Inspiring. I’m an adult that was a foster child for 17 years. The foster system is awful and to find a good family is Unique. Families of Faith were always the ones I remember and appreciated. One day I too want to become a Foster Parent. Glad Angel Studios created a movie about the Foster system. My life changed forever for the better and I encourage you to take a child in if possible. God bless all good foster parents.
God bless you Jaimie. 🥺🙏🙏🙏
My daughter and son in law did just this . 2 years of fostering and finally an adoption last fall. The realities of the system are horrible but my daughter a woman of faith and has my stubborn persistence ! Our newest grandson is a beautiful addition to our family we are blessed.
I love this ❤
I recently started the process of trying to adopt and was shocked at the cost! It feels so unethical, especially when it comes to infant adoption. Literally feels like these babies are being sold to the highest bidder. I decided infant adoption was not for me for this very reason. I decided to adopt a waiting child from the foster system instead, only to be met with an entirely new set of unethical issues. Something needs to change and laws need to be set into place to protect these kids, because the way the system is now is not working.
As someone who's mom isn't able to love me- it hurts so much when I hear fellow conservatives question what's wrong with these kids.... What's wrong with their parents that they weren't able to provide love and compassion? I'm lucky my dad is well adjusted and took care of and loved me, but not everyone is blessed with even 1 mentally stable parent. It took me years to understand it wasn't my fault that my mom left - my heart breaks for these kids. I can't imagine what they've been through.
I’m so sorry about your mom and glad that you a mentally healthy dad. we are all human, warts and all. I think everyone knows the kids are hurt and wounded but it’s still hard on the parents. Even with bio kids they can be so challenging that parents are tested big time
Bless you ❤
Who's asking what's wrong with the kids? I've never heard anyone say that.
@@racheljames7 neither did I. Everyone knows kids are hurt and traumatized and no one blames them. The Op is just projecting
I'm 58 yrs old,was adopted and very grateful 🙏
Im part of this world, and I want you to know that I love you. May the Peace of God bless you and be with you.
I adopted my daughter through foster care, my youngest of 4. I can not suggest more than this pathway. These children do go through HELL! I have a 2 month old that just entered care blind from abuse and a skull fracture.
OMG! I pray that she recovers mins, body & soul! Such HEINOUS Abuse & Betrayal that so MANY children live through, & some that don't even make it at the hands of the ones that were supposed to LOVE & PROTECT them!
These MONSTERS SHOULDN'T even have a flea to care for!!!! They DON'T even deserve the air that they breathe!!!!
Thankyou so so much for stepping up in this way 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
You are not just helping these children, but the whole of society. You are the people that should be getting awards and you are by God. Thankyou again 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you taking in these special children -
All of God’s children are special. The hurt children can have the most powerful testimony about love and the power of forgiveness because they were saved and loved by God through parents who love them and want them. ❤
We adopted 3 siblings a few years ago and I went from a mom of 1 to 4 in under a year.
Hardest thing I’ve ever done and even though my in laws told me to take them back if I can’t handle them when I asked for help ONCE I refused.
Our adoption story is amazing and tragic all at once. We gained 3 beautiful children but lost at least 30 family members because they believed we should have never adopted because they are more likely to have “issues”
I chose my kids over my shallow in-laws.
My mother in law lives directly across the street and never once asked to help out.
I was the devil for ruining their blood line.
Plus we adopted 3 Mexicans and we are white. We live in a community of 90% Mexicans.
You should see the looks we get when we go out.
I wish you could see how beautiful they are.
I can’t wait to see this.
Wow! Thank you! ❤
Praise God for your lives.
Bless you!!
I fostered several children. Most of mine were sibling groups for emergency periods only. It was amazing to help keep them safe while grandparents would get their home approved. I adopted my oldest (11yr old) from FC. Once I stopped I adopted my husband's 2 kids and I wouldn't change the experience. I loved it. I couldn't do it again at this stage of my life, but loved what I did.
My Precious neighbor, who grew up in foster care, adopted 4 siblings from foster care, adding to Her already large family. It's amazing how close ALL the siblings are, and I GET to be a proud Mamaw to them ... Absolutely selfless and beautiful ❤️
I’ve fostered and adopted from different countries in Colorado. It’s ALWAYS HARD. But so rewarding. You will learn so much, and be stretched to the limit. But it’s absolutely worth it. ❤ if you have true love to give and motivation to step into messy things … please get involved.
As a first time foster carer in Australia in the far north, we did it for a year before we just couldn't continue. It's important to note that it was not the kids, yes they had their traumas BUT the government made it so so hard on every level. (The foster kids here are not available for adoption due to being indigenous). The kids moved to a known carer and we still stay in touch but we are heartbroken. 😢
I’m sorry you went through that. The Government always does what it can to screw over everyone. In this case it’s evil because of the children involved. 😢😢😢
I pray that the Lord uses this film to soften a lot of hearts. I worked directly with abused and neglected children for 7 Years. It truly is heartbreaking what they go through, but also, how badly they are treated by the adults around them. I've always had a heart for these children and sought to show them what I could of Gods love. I hope that I can adopt at least one of these children someday. The closer I get to God the more my soul desires to help those that are often deemed 'the least' in society. Their souls are priceless, they are beloved children of God.
I was adopted at birth and am now 26 years old. I'm also an only child. I love my parents, but I just want to say, if you are going to adopt under 3 I would say, raise the child knowing that they are adopted. Tell them about their birth parents and how you became their parents. It doesn't negate you as being the "real parents", but your child has the right to know their actual birth story (my mom would lie when I asked about mine, disgusting honestly). They make books, which apparently I was read a baby but that's it. I wasn't told until I was 9 in an applebees of all places. When you're a child, it feels like just a fun fact about yourself. Then you grow up and you're in biology class, and your homework doesn't make any sense because you don't share the same genes as your parents. You go to doctors appointments, and your mom tells the doctor HER medical history and not yours. You get in fights with your parents and are told you're property, and they bought you and don't need to respect you. Then you go out with friends, and your mom tells you don't let anything happen to you because you're my one and only. So you develop a crippling fear of the world. Then you find out you can inherit a mental illness and closer to the age it would show, your parents could care less about educating themsleves on it or being a support system. (They were warned when they were being interviewed that I could have the issue and if they're sure they're okay with that) I had to find my own psychiatrists and medicine and figure out a lot on my own. That's something that still enrages me honestly, considering I already have no one around me with the problem but my own parents didn't even want to try to help. Bottom line, my parents fucked me up, and it could have been a lot different had they educated themselves and realized they were adopting a person and not just a baby. So get your kid the mental help they need, raise them to know their actual back story, and for goodness sake be honest about their medical history and don't lock it away in your safe until they ask about it when they start to have medical issues. (It's a privilege to know your medical history) If you're adopting, do it for the right reasons and not selfish ones. Also, be prepared to have them want to look for their birth parent. My friend helped me find mine, and I finally saw someone that was a spitting image of myself. My mom said she was ugly LMAO, so I have not acted on it. It's a lot for everyone, but it's a beautiful thing when you do it right. I'm grateful but at 26, I'm still working on this in therapy. I know every person's case isn't this extreme, but just an anecdote from someone that went through it and will always. So just be there for your child and think about how they're going to feel about all of this. I promise you they will always look at you as their real parents, and nothing will change that.
I had a closed adoption, and my agency shut down when I was 2. So that's when we lost contact with my birth family. Every birthday I think about finding them
I am truly sorry for what has happened to you and I hope you can forgive your parents shortcomings. I just adopted my sons last month from foster care who are biological brothers. I want to be open with them. I even have little play dates with their biological grandmother. I've invited their biological mother (through grandma) but she hasn't showed up. My eldest is 4 and I've been trying to tell him that he's adopted but it's just so funny he doesn't grasp anything. I'm so interested to see when he'll have a full understanding
Thank you so much for sharing your story!!! I have a different story but I understand the anger and deep pain of having parents with "good intentions" that screw us up. May the Lord Jesus Christ guide you to the whole truth you need. Jesus is the only way to the truth and life! I'm still in so much pain and anger, I dream about knowing the truth and how relieved I will be.
I’d hate to tell you this, but every single parent fucks up their kids. It sounds like you had it light. From a person who was abused by her birth parents, maybe you could develop some gratitude for your adoptive parents. You were adopted for a reason. It could have been A LOT worse.
You'll be in my prayers, God will help you find them when it's the right time
Thats what I'm afraid of..example...you were adopted by 3...and there's so much anger and resentment. Makes me think that older kids would be even worse ,bitter,etc. Than you are😢
Candace this is such a beautiful story to share! I absolutely believe the church needs to step up in this area, if every Christian even adopted or fostered one child we wouldn’t have the epidemic of the system that we do right now. Can’t wait to see this movie and I hope it lights a fire under Christians. This is what God has asked of us, to take care of the widows and the fatherless 🙏🏼
I totally agree!!
As a side note from a non-christian, it would be great if you all could stop forcing women to have babies, before you take care of the unwanted children in the world. You all sound like hypocrites. Don’t just say you’re Christian, be Christian.
Scriptures reads "...orphans and widows" James 1:27
I agree 100%! American churches support orphanages all over the world, but ignore the orphans down the street from their church.
Adoption of children isn’t mandated by God’s Word. And that’s my issue is that people use it as a mandate. When, I believe, God is saying to take care of them in any capacity you are able to that doesn’t necessarily mean adoption.
I have a lot of close experience with this. I have a close relative that fostered over 40 kids at different times, many of them handicapped. He had a saintly wife before she passed and they did not have children of their own, so they helped children in need.
I also have a close relative that fostered children with other grandchildren living there, and it did not turn out well. The kids (no fault of their own) had been abused, and carried that over when they were fostered and started abusing my relative's grandchildren. It was discovered very quickly, so they were put back into the system and we are hopeful that there wasn't long term damage done.
I am a father of 3 biological children, and the thought of putting my own children in real danger for someone else's children is so difficult. I know the need is so huge, and I want to help, it's just so difficult to commit to that at least until my children are older.
I would watch the movie in theaters but I would cry because I can relate too much. I was adopted twice, first at age four and the second time at age sixteen. So I wouldn't mind watching it alone.... so I can cry in peace. Lol 🤣🤣🤣. Seriously though, it's about time this crisis is talked about in media.
Hey Candace, huge fan of your work and love everything you do. You truly are inspirational. I wanted to spread the word about a Non-Profit I love, V4CR- Veterans For Children's Rescue founded by Craig Sawyer. Light needs to be brought to this and hoping our Candace community can support the cause in donating to this organization run by Veterans- going out and quite literally saving children from child sex trafficking. I know this hits both heavy topics of yours in protecting our children as well as supporting our veterans. Would love and appreciate a shout out for the line of work they do and help keep their organization going! May God Bless you and your family and thank you for all of your hard work!
Everyone should take a moment to honor the late Senator Nancy Schafer who fought the good fight for kids in the CPS system and lost. God bless her for trying. Redrum.
Yes, RIP hero Nancy Schafer. Never forget
@@sarahbritt1234 thanks!
My husband and I looked into fostering but we’re a bit scared off by the fact the government requires all of you to be vaccinated completely. While we do vaccinate we pick and chose. If there was another way we would!
They are ALL poison and have never stopped a single disease.
Probably a State thing, Ohio doesn’t require that.
@@marygram14 huh!!! Interesting! I live in one of the most conservative states so I was surprised when we were looking into it! So disappointing.
Yup! A d they're denying Christian families if they wont "agree" to "gender affirming care" down the road if its "requested." The state does NOT want Christians to participate in this solution. We need to figure that part out.
@@Mrsmom3432 effen screwtube deleted my anti liquid poison injections.
I really enjoyed reading all the comments on this interview! On the negative comments, I have heard of sad stories of families returning children who were too difficult, etc. All the families I have known personally, however who adopted, fostered and adopted children successfully. The key for them, as far as I could see was church community support. I’ve also heard some friends say not to adopt out of birth order, which I think is wise advice. Providing a safe and loving home for a child is in my opinion one of the highest charities that you can give. I think too many people however, have this mindset that if the children grow up to have problems, they somehow failed or it wasn’t worth it. Love is always worth it! And we shouldn’t expect a certain outcome of financial success or stability. Love the child and let God take care of the rest. You never know when that love will come back to the person as grace, perhaps at the end of their lives!
One thing that frustrates me is that there are plenty of worthy couples out there that would happily adopt.. but the cost is so high. My husband and I would consider adopting in the future.. but we would probably never be able to afford it. Some of these children are better off with a low-income family then they are sitting in the system waiting for someone that has a ton of money. I know my husband and I are good parents to our daughter even without being able to give her the world financially. Why can't they make it more affordable
Hey there. Not sure how it is in your state but when you adopt through CPS, adoption is free. Foster families receive monthly assistance and minority children adopted at a certain age will receive adoption assistance through the age of 18.
Try being a foster parent first, then adopting the child from there. Haven't done this myself, but I've heard it's easier and remember, the Lord will always provide, just keep it in prayer
And as a foster parent who adopted from foster care can also about numbers. The more kids you open your heart and your home to the more likely you are to get one that's available for adoption. After I took in my second placement I was so frustrated because I knew I wanted to adopt...and almost stopped being a foster parent. But as soon as I came to that revelation about opening my heart to more children the 3rd child who came in was the one. And after he came 2 more of his brothers were born and came directly to me form the hospital. Just last month I adopted all 3 of them from foster care. I had one biological in-between and so I have 4 that are ages 4 and under.
They don’t care about the kids, they make the cost so high so nobody can adopt them and the ones that do, they try to recoup the cost of taking care of said kid and put it on the people trying to do the right thing. Also, a lot of them go missing smh just like the kids coming across the border 😢
@@Happy-Mama8431 unfortunately what can happen is CPS will lie to a couple and give them an extremely troubled child who will likely cause lots of turmoil when being raised.

I understand where the heart comes from but my husband lived the life of a family fostering the ‘bad’ youth and I wouldn’t wish that upon any child. She had the troubled teens in and out of her home constantly bringing drugs in and one even went so far to accuse my husband (who was then a child) of S.A. 😢 At first his whole family went against him and said terrible thing to him until it came out that she falsified everything and had a track record of falsifying assaults to get out of trouble for her drug use. These poor kids didn’t make themselves like that but at what cost to your own children? I think we can shine light on those who are choosing not to have kids or have empty nests as good candidates.
The application to even start to be a foster parent or adopt is the size of a book in our state. That’s the biggest problem. They disqualify so many for ridiculous reasons and yet you can sign in a line to get an abortion. It’s set up to make it difficult to help these children.
Maybe ask why. I personally know many who were abused in foster care.
I've been told by healthcare professional that when the mother is addicted and then has the baby the baby is born addicted. This causes many immediate obstacles to overcome, but after getting past that, problems arise again between ages 10 - 12. This could be preteen angst or something more. I don't bring up to discourage, but to inform/look into
healthcare professional are applying a cookie cutter cookbook method without love, but raising children in reality is a personal and private experience which cant be generalised with numbers or statistics. Each child (and each parent) has unique neurodevelopment needs and development and through relationship we create a container for growth and love with authenticity and beauty. That is the parent child relationship, there are challenges and obstacles just like if the child was borne of your body. Peace.
My family did foster care for 7 years. Sadly, most foster kiddos will be in and out of the system for years bc reunification with biological family is always the goal, according to the laws. By the time the judge removes the parental rights - the kiddo is older and typically not only traumatized, but angry. Unlikely to be adopted at that point. Our intention was not to adopt, but to give kiddos a safe space until their parents became able to care for them again. Fortunately, my son’s biological mother knew that she would be unable to care for him after about six months and we were able to adopt him when he was almost a year old! He had already celebrated holidays with us. We got him through months of wearing a helmet and receiving physical therapy services in our home. All with the intention of handing him back. Very hard to fathom bc we got him straight from the hospital at six days old! We are eternally grateful for this unexpected blessing. Praise God. It’s weird to think if we hadn’t taken the step to foster - our own SON would not be ours! What a good and gracious God we have! Christ is King! 👑❤
My heart literally broke and I got emotional when the dad turned on the bath and the baby boy screamed “no!” , I know that feeling 💔
So unfortunately here in Nevada they are saying you have to have all vaccines including Covid in order to foster. How could we fight against that? It’s preventing good parents from taking children who need a home
Is this a statutory law?
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
They never miss a chance to get jabs into people!
If it's not in the State Statue I would fight it
Lawsuit of religious and bodily autonomy, constitutional rights and all that jazz.
Candace, thank you for bringing awareness. We have been a foster resource family for 5 years. In addition to our three biological children , we’ve had the privilege of caring for 8 children, one of which we’ve adopted. We brought a new child into our home just last week and currently have two who are in care. I’m hoping this helps our churches to step up and come around those of us who are in the trenches trying to love children and their families on their worst days. A worthy topic that everyone needs to hear about and while not everyone can add children to their home everyone can do something ( meals, encouragement, respite, support, resources, encouragement or PRAYERS ) .
Love you Candace!!! 5 months ago I went from having my own 2 children to fostering my 4 nieces and nephews! Im a mom of 6 kids now, and Im finally in my groove I guess. Going from 2 to 6 kids overnight knowing they'd be with me for a long time, is overwhelming. God never gives us more then we can handle.
I would love to adopt or foster children. The reason I don’t is because here in New Zealand, those kids are given back to their abusive parents because it’s seen as racist for a white family to raise a Maori kid so they would rather not put those kids in white people’s homes. And then they’re shocked that in my country we have one of the highest child murder rates in the developed world. It’s heartbreaking. (There are little to none non-Maori kids needing a foster or adoption in case you’re wondering why I don’t just look after white kids. I also can’t have any of my own)
I will always love my daughter. I will NOT ALWAYS LOVE her behavior. I never punished my daughter. I only punished her behavior. Also, I never punished her for breaking an unstated rule the FIRST time. We spoke about it. We explained why it is now a rule. And we discussed the appropriate correction/consequence. I can't fathom adopting someone. You have so many years of trust/understanding to build up in a short period of time.
God Bless those that do Foster!
God Bless you for doing this, I have 6 children, 4 of them are adopted. Children are a gift from God, they bring joy and happiness into our lives like nothing else can in this world. Its not always easy but they are always worth it.
Thank you Candace for bringing awareness to this film and ultimately for bringing awareness to the needs of our children.
I was in foster care it was a nightmare that started with being dragged from under a bed away from my family and put into the system ,moving home to home milestone and so on. There needs change in the system. To the good foster parents and adoptive parents thanks for the good you bring to a dark place.
Will this movie be shared in international cinemas as well? Having watched “A sound of freedom” by the same studio was groundbreaking and this movie sounds as well as looks to me like it will definitely be great to watch. Speaking as a Zambian, I would love to support the movie by seeing it I the cinema too and encouraging others to see it as well.
My sister in law is a new found lesbian. She is now a foster parent which is amazing. But she is fostering a baby and last week she was feeding him and his first word that came out was dada. Well he got yelled at to not say dada because he’s not aloud to because he had two moms. I was floored. It’s human nature to say mom and dad. But sadly he’s being raised up by two woman who just aren’t in it for the right reasons. Breaks my heart.
She probably shouldn’t have a child if she’s pushing her sexuality on him.
The state finds her fit for it so I have no say so in it. Sad stuff.
Yelling at a child for saying dada is crazy to me. As a lesbian and a foster mom, i know a child needs a father, or father figure in their life. Your sister in law should never have a child under her care, she’s a monster.
Candace is gonna hit 2M subs soon!!!!!! 🍾🍾🍾🍾
Can’t wait to see the next cup!! 🥳🥳😂
YAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS
It happened so fast which tells me people really relate to what she talks about.
@@Alicossio I have said many times that I would love to see Trump-Owens 2024
Quite irrelevant... I'm pretty sure Candace doesn't care either. She does what she does and you can't put a number of subscribers on it.
My aunt adopted two children. They were twins, And she had them for. I don't know 6 or 8 years everything was fine. The kids came to her fairly young. And then all of a sudden the boy started like threatening to kill them and threatening to kill his sister. They would wake up to him in their bedrooms with a knife. The other extreme is you get attached to these beautiful babies and children and you have them taken from you. There are good fosters and adopters and there are horrific foster parents and adopted parents. Such a hard topic
I 100% agree with you. Some other placements are very successful, and others totally fail. While some children really need and do well in foster care and adoption, others get to be abused. And sometimes, the caregivers get to be abused by the children.
Would love to adopt, but we don’t vaccinate or have extra money. Would love to see reform in the system
The system isnt fair
I hope this changes things
Having to give back my 7 month foster son after 5 months was heart wrenching
Watching him end back in the system abused and rehomed again is gut wrenching. The only upside is that he goes to school with my son and is one of his best friends. If he ever needs help as a teen I will be there. It's rough.
I was pregnant at the time. I bonded with him in so many ways. He was my 2nd son before I had my 2nd son. ❤
I'm adopted and I'd say y'all need to be all kinds of on to it and ready to deal with the psychological impact on the child of being abandoned. Parents get your tool belt and box ready before you commit! On behalf of a lot of adopted people xx
Thank you for the wonderful insight
Thank you for the insight. Adoption is a huge commitment that people should pray and think about for a while. It’s a decision to make soberly
I think people absolutely tend to overlook that an adoption is a traumatic event for a very disadvantaged child. The adoptee perspective needs to be heard and truly considered before someone decides to insert themselves into the unfortunate life of a child.
The majority of these comments are positive towards adopting and fostering so I wanted to give a different perspective. Fostering and adopting is great but I personally have seen it done very poorly that's why I say It isn't for everyone. If your home has some big issues or you want to be a "hero", don't adopt or foster. My step mother and father adopted and it was horrible because their reasoning and hearts weren't in the right place. Also their household was not in order. I don't want to go into all the details but it was extremely hard and at the end of the day I think another family would have been better suited to adopt their adopted kids...it definitely wasn't a good choice for the household as a whole. We also found out through adoption that many adoption agencies, especially international have a problem with kidnapping and selling kids to orphanages so if you do adopt make sure you vet the companies extremely well. Anyway I'm not trying to say don't adopt or foster, just trying to give a different perspective. Can we also talk about how the surrogacy craze and IVF has helped closed the doors to more people adopting?
I adopted both of my children. My oldest was my cousin Ive had him since he was 2 months old and my youngest was my nephew; he was taken from my brother and his mother and placed into foster care for a little under a year and I fought the state for him and hes been legally adopted for 9 years now. I couldnt love them more if I had given birth to them myself
My friend had foster siblings her whole life and she felt very neglected because there was so much attention on these “troubled” kids.
Just because you want to adopt someone, doesn’t mean that someone wants to be adopted by you.
Who’s screening potential adoptive parents for cluster b personality disorders. The stories you need to be listening to are those of adoptees. Kids don’t want or need your performative sympathy and pity.
and some kids do need it more than a foster system where they are getting zero attention or care... even the performative kind of sympathy and pity can get someone through
I was adopted by my parents in 1970 & so was my brother in 75 (not biological, but legally) . By God's grace, we we adopted by great parents who love & support us still. My dad passed away, but my mom, brother, & I are as close as any family you will meet. We've never desired to look for biological donors.
I'm really glad you are back I love watching you
My husband and I have been foster parents for the past 3 years. It is such a challenge and a blessing. Our biggest manta has been that God doesn’t call us to a life of comfort. He calls us to help the widows and orphans. If we are pro life, we need to be willing to take in these children as the body of Christ.
My aunt and uncle adopted several of their foster children, but two of them the State of CA deemed too damaged to adopt, which makes no sense to me. They did as much as they could to help those two, but eventually had to let them go. They refused all the love showed to them. The other several adoptive children took in all their love eventually and are now living their own lives all grown up
This should be in cinemas around the world it’s a whole lot better than the Garbage Hollywood is producing.
I have my tickets! I can't wait to watch, and I have always planned on adopting! Lord, give us all extra courage, grace, wisdom, mercy, and strength! In Jesus' name, amen!
What about if your state demands the entire family has va*cines in order to be eligible to foster
Christ is King ✝️✝️✝️
Amen!
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of light; true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And the third day He arose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets.
In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen ☦☦☦
Visit Orthodox Church in America ☦ only Church of Jesus
@@bojanbabovic111 Uhhh, no. We don't need you up in here pushing anything. Clearly we love Jesus. That is all that is required. Belief in Christ.
@@ChristIsKING_John11 There's only Church of Jesus ☦ I am obliged to "push"
I work at a boys home which holds 62 kids on 165 acres along with horses, therapists and heart-strong staff. These boys are ages 13-17 and yes, they are traumatized and i have learned a lot on how to deal with them. It makes me grateful for my own kids at home and realize they aren't as bad as it could be. I wish i could save them all ... but i plant seeds in many and feel as if I'm doing Gods work
Celebrating my 4th ofJuly Holiday to watch this powerful film. Thank you Candace for this Special Saturday Show to promote this movie
It would be good to hear from the fostered children too. God bless that community for helping those children. I often think about fostering children but my husband doesnt think we have the mental strength to deal with a possible troubled child. But i pray for strength and understanding so that one day we can help a child in need of love and a good education. ❤
My family did foster care for babies when I was 12-18 and it definitely prepared me for fatherhood
Candace, could you please drop a book and documentary recommendation list?
Viewers, can you like this comment so she can see it!!
“Narcissists tend to have an idealized self-image, and adoption can serve as a means to further enhance this image. Adoptive parents may view themselves as exceptionally kind, generous, and selfless, reinforcing their own positive self-perception.”
called altruistic narcissism, or communal narcissism. a lot of 'do gooders' are narcissists deep down and incapable of true empathy, kindness or compassion behind closed doors and in the silent moments...what kids (and everyone) ACTUALLY need.
My family and I are attending a showing on the 5th ❤
The thing I wish they did differently with The Sound of Freedom was provide some kind of info on how we can help the kids! I was a bit disappointed that they just offered the opening to buy movie tickets for others. After watching the movie, I was ready to take up arms & go into the jungle to save someone. All that to say, I’m glad they are making this movie & connecting us to ways we can make a difference with the crisis they’re highlighting with the film
I have always wanted to adopt since I was a child. We moved from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya after our mother passed and my dad couldn’t work and take care of eight kids by himself so he thought we would have a better life here in the states so he sent us to live with our mothers side of the family. Long story short it wasn’t pleasant but it was Bette than some of the stories we read. I wanted for a long time to adopt and care for a child better than I was and love them completely. My only reservation is I don’t want to repeat the cycle, I have my own kids and I feel guilty at times for yelling and wonder if it’s normal but I ask any parent what “normal” even is? 🤷🏽♀️ I just respect and love people who treat children fairly amongst their biological children especially, people who give them absolute love, affection, and good morals. Thank you all, trust me it’s “easier” on that side and most of us are forever grateful and want to “repay” the people who love us better than ourselves…
*I loved the movie "The Blind Side"! One of my all time favorite Sandra Bullock films!!!!!!*
I’m 30 and can have kids but am choosing to adopt. My option based on logic was either to be childless, or to adopt. Because I realize the world doesn’t care about children. It just doesn’t. So rather than create more, which humanity as a whole gives me little incentive to do to be honest (hot take!) so why not help the ones already here instead? Because so many were born into terrible situations and birth “parents” who even enjoying harming them and neglecting them whether. Idk I just love kids too much. I have a lot of both personal and professional experience, compared to the average person, my age and have seen a lot and know a lot of what really goes on that most don’t experience or get to be apart of. I just hate telling people that I don’t want kids of my own because the first thing they typically assume is something like “oh you don’t want kids because you don’t like kids. That’s a good thing because there’s already too many people who don’t want kids who are having them” when instead of me being one of those people, I’m the one not having them because of people like that. That makes sense and theres people out there that feels similarly.
My father-in-law and his wife adopted 5 kids. And have seen part of the damages people go through in the systems. I have seen 2 of the girls grow into adulthood and have there own children. My ex-wife kept turning to drugs. So she was out of my sons life most of their life. So it's hard
Thank you so much Candace for this wonderful episode. I am looking forward to seeing this movie next week. Sending you and your family lots of love and light. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We adopted a foster child, and it is NOT easy. I wouldn't change her being with us for the world, but it does change your family dynamic permanently. It's worth it but its work. God help these children and family find the resilience to overcome their trials.
I love you so much more on this one than the last! You seem lighter and more free. We get to see your kindness, compassion and grit and it looks wonderful on you 💗
As a social worker, Candiace thank you for this show
My friends just adopted 3 siblings after 10 years of infertility. Praise God for their "yes" and thank you Jesus for bringing the children to loving parents.
yes, i have a difficulth child (who is 45 now) and there were sooooooooooo many times when i was not able to feel deep love to him, only deeeeeeeeppppp pain. I pray and pray and now he is so different thank you God!!! but yes, that was a good point this gentelman made: sometimes your own kids make you very unhappy
What a nice couple! Thanks for showcasing this for us Candace
Never foster or adopt a grown child until your own kids are emotionally stable
I'm glad I found a channel I can binge watch. I feel like Candace is someone I would hang out and have dinner with and march into battle with at the same time.
This is not a small problem that can be ignored, it is an urgent problem and if humanity fails to protect children it will disappear. We also need to combat the reasons that lead to the expansion of this situation such as the trivialization of sex. I come from a city where there are no children without adoption because the number is manageable
Candace, you and Tucker are the only people I tune in to watch as soon as a new clip drops. All other conservatives have sold their souls (Daily Wire / Douglas Murray / Jordan Peterson etc etc)...Keep doing what you're doing!

Nope adoption is not for me, neither fostering, props for those who chose to
I do wish trailers would give away less details- I feel like most trailers these days is liking watching the entire movie itself.
You are 100% correct. I am at the point where I mute/look away when they're airing, so I don't have to be subjected to the movie trailers!
@@dbdouglas
I'll be honest. Same 😅
I miss 90's trailers when the voice of a man said things about the movie and We saw very little of the actual scenes, in my opinión they were better than just cuts of the scenes y edited together
@@EarCandyPisces 👍🏻😅
As a Christian, I believe it blesses the heart of God when we adopt children in need. In the same way that God has adopted all of us; and calls us sons and heirs of his kingdom even if we didn't deserve it. That is the wonderful grace of God. ❤
I have looked into adoption due to fertility issues and what stops me is the expense. 😢 why is it SO expensive to adopt a child?? If anyone in the comments section has any tips please let me know.
Can we please get to two million followers already!? ... I need a new cup 😂❤!
lol I’m so with you!!!!!!
I’m a former Canadian Fed Employee. Our foster care system is broken cycle. The majority are not screened properly and take children for the tax free payments. The foster parents that truly provide loving conditions that even pursue to adopt the system prevents. My personal conclusion it’s a multi million agency Foster parents Lawyers Judges Social Workers Net Work
What a wonderful couple. Wordless. God bless them always!! Thank you Candace
This is my only problem with IVF fertility treatments. If you can't have your own child, there are so many that need a family. Even new babies the younger we can get them safe. The better off they are
I’ve always had a desire to adopt a child/children but never thought I could afford it. So that’s a hurdle I need to conquer.
But this movie had me crying like a baby…but it also awoken in me the desire to do something about this.
The Bible calls us to love the widows, the sick and shut in and the the orphaned.
Our job is to follow Gods calling; His job is the outcome. He will provide
I was recently telling my husband how I would like to foster/adopt a child. 2 weeks ago I discovered that I've been blessed with a third pregnancy 🤣
I've known for years that unless I foster or adopt a child that I'll probably never have any kids.
I meet people that adopted children from other countries. Umm the teacher had to place his adopted daughter institution after his wife died of cancer. Another adopted her daughter from Japan and she graduated from college. It isn’t easy. The couple have to have time to give the child the needs they need.
Weekend upload? Woah.
i just said the same thing we're getting spoiled
Same reaction. I'm like...wow... I'm so spoiled. Thank you and we love you Candace and team!
