- The Daultons share their inspirational story about their adoption of 9 children and encourage Christians around the world to also adopt.
The Daultons were shocked when they gave birth to a son with Down Syndrome. God used the experience to show them the value of their new child. They went on to adopt 9 children, all with Down’s Syndrome. Heartbreak, chaos, and love fill their life and their home.
This story is from October 2015.

I just cried when the father said "there are 4 billion christian and there should be no orphan bed filled"...
Absolutely true. Christians do adopt the most out of any demographic but we have no excuse for the number of children still without homes.
He is so right.
Now imagine if everyone that could, whether they are Christian, muslim, jewish, buddhist or any religion, or atheist, would consider adopting. There would be no kids left behind in orphanages and the foster system.
@@l.s.9717 The foster system doesn't work like that. Kids in the foster system aren't up for adoption. The primary goal is reunification with birth parents or care until adulthood.
@@Marzi29 Oh I see, that makes sense. But why do so many kids age out and spend years in it?
These people aren't just good Christians, they're simply incredible people.
I was just thinking the same thing!
Amen
Natalia H yes they are truly a human being with a pure caring heart and mind
imagine they choosen to adopt the children with disability than the normal SALUTE❤️❤️❤️
Yep
Guys Jesus Christ is coming back ! Turn away from ur sins , repent ! Turn away from ur wicked ways . And ask yourself “ am I truly living for God ? Or the world. “2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ( remember what God did for guilty sinners ! He died for us ! Jesus Christ died for us ! We disobeyed God , on judgement day he will judge us for what we did on earth . But if u accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, God can let u go ! Bc Jesus Christ died for us ! He paid the price ! U don’t have to go to hell ! Jesus is the only way ! Repent and trust in Jesus
IMAGINE if everyone in the world CARED this much. Now that would be heaven on earth.
'....thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven...'

I want to live in it.
If only ...
No if someone cared it would be cynical
i have down syndrome and i am 36 years old but we are all more alike then
different we are just like you we can walk we can speak we can be who we want
to be my name is victoria bowman and i want to tell you we have a voice don’t
think of the past and let in the new
I love downs syndrome people! You have the purest hearts, and aren't afraid to show emotions. Like angels sent directly from God to make everyone else better people. 💟
Do you have a job and are financially independent, like most people?
Did you become who you wanted to?
And if you did you surely realize it's because you're not severely affected by trisomy 21, many of your peers are a lot more affected and will never have a standard life =/
If you were pregnant and could choose would you rather have a chikd with DS or without?
Could you give a DS child the full care, for life, they need? Unlikely as they're most likely to outlive you.
Couldn’t agree with you more Victoria 🌸
💕💕💕
That is wonderful Victoria!!
Oh wow! My aunt has Down syndrome and she lives with us. She is 45!❤️ she can read and write, and do math problems. She’s sweet,kind and loving!
My brother is 64, same reads, writes, loves music, loves everyone but misses mom and dad more than anything.
My little Sister (10) has Down Syndromen to and i think that she is one of the most happiest person! I love here! 😍
I used to go to work with my dad and his co-worker had a daughter with downs. She was 33 and the sweetest girl I've ever met! She would ask me what kind of tablet I had everyday so she could get one! Her name is Cassie

She must be a very special lady!
I adopted a child in foster care who had experienced abuse. She’s an adult now. She received an associate’s degree. She’s working in a domestic violence shelter, and she had stayed in one when she was still with her birth mother. She has two beautiful daughters, which allows us to be grandparents. My daughter has been my hero for what she overcame. Many challenges and so worth it.
I am not a Religious person but I love this people ❤️
Love is the beginning of Christian faith. You are more religious than you think. This is an amazing story.
Love is just the beginning get to Know God. He already knows you though. He knew you before you were in the womb . He loves you dearly 💗. Your soul is worth saving
@@jasmin3255 ❤️❤️
Well you suck then. Become a Protestant Baptist so you don't suck.
@@jasmin3255 The Bible is 100% scientifically proven. I hope you never adopt a child.
This family is the proof, that there is still hope and good people are still existing.
No one is a good person, this is proof that God exists , God is love

What a truly incredible couple, they are living their calling to the fullest. Let us all take a lesson from them.
What incredible people to do something so selfless.😄
Absolutely 🙂
I love this. The kids grow up feeling completely normal because everyone has it in their family. By that, they don't try to catch up with others but can focus on their strength together
You just said it love!
Really?
What about after the parents get too old to care for them and they aren't self sufficient?
@@d-meth if u make them as independent as possible, they can live independently if needed. I mean definitely they would be easier with a care giver but it is possible. My daughter has 17q12 deletion syndrome (genetic disorder similar to down’s) just much rarer and she’s very independent and she’s only 5. She even puts on her own pull up diapers. She can’t dress herself yet but she can put her shoes and undress herself. Granted, LOTS of therapy - everyday! But it’s so worth seeing them love being independent.
@@crystalortega2156 sure, but when she's 20 will she be as independent as "healthy" young adults?
Will she be able to work and live independently?
Even now she's 5 and still in diapers (yeah, pullups are diapers) and can't dress herself. Will the gap close or widen with age?
And it's awesome that you can afford all the necessary therapies but not everyone can =/
Many of those kids end up in group homes and later in care facilities (as soon as they age out of foster care systems).
It's sad, it it, I get it. They do deserve great lives like everyone.
BUT
Not even healthy kids have great home lives. And they're kids that can manage without extra care and are totally independent around age 20.
Unfortunately most people will still prefer "healthy" children to children with known issues even if only for the cost and time of rearing 🤷🏼♀️
Most don't have extra resources and if they do they want to invest them into making their kid stand out from the crowd of "healthy" kids and not just catch up to them.
It's just reality. Sorry.
@@d-meth my daughter is declared disabled so she gets her therapies through Medicaid (which I learned that after she was 2 that I qualified for Medicaid and disability - wish they told me earlier) so I’m blessed with that. The Down Syndrome kids will also qualify for Medicaid through disability but no one tells you that. My daughter’s daycare told me and that’s how I knew. As far as pull-up/diapers, my daughter has a neurogenic bladder (in English, means she can’t feel her pee because the nerves are damaged due to the spinal cord injury she was born with) she also can’t feel her poop for the same reason. So that’s why I was very adamant about teaching her to change her diaper and learning how to do it herself because she will be in pull-ups the rest of her life. Now, that’s another thing. I didn’t know until she was 4 that I could get her diapers for free too through Medicaid. They don’t tell you any of this stuff at all. It’s horrible. My daughter’s fate is unknown since it is a rare disorder and not much research has been done. But I try to make her as independent and keep her as healthy as possible and do as many surgeries and procedures to make her live as normal life as possible. I can’t even tell u the number of surgeries and procedures she’s had tbh. As far as work and live independently, I pray for it. But only time will tell. Thanks for asking! I love when people are interested in my daughter’s condition and willing to learn just as I had to.
This family used to attend my church. I would sit next to them every Sunday. They really had their hands full because the kids were up and down. But they always seemed loving kind and patient. God bless them for their sacrifice for these children.
Do they get a lot of money ? For the kids I heard they do
@@jamesheath7507 what does that matter
Aren't you special.
@@jamesheath7507 yeah I don’t know
@@llamalady8700 trolling I see. To God be the glory that there are families out there like this that care. Not trying to be special just confirming that they are the real deal.
As an adopted child I commend you for changing all these children's lives! God bless your family many times over.😀
I hope you are doing okay and remember you are always loved!!!
I am a guy who is unable to have kids on my own and I already knew from the young age of 7 (when I didn't even know I can't have kids) that I wanted to adopt a child or more - exactly for the reason because every child needs a family and every child deserves a chance in life! I am not religious but I do got a heart full of love to share!
U can be a foster parent
I hope you get to adopt and share a father's love to a child!
What a heart touched video. “Who would want a child with Down syndrome?” Seriously I couldn’t believe my ears. 😒
It's sort of a hearts are in the right place, but with a bit of condescension. It is also a very said truth of neglect that some people do not adopt children with disabilities. They stated they had no idea about down syndrome before their child had it so it is understandable as people new to mental heath issues they don't quite grasp the full sensitivity of the issue.
Really?
Most DS fetuses are aborted.
And those kids are in orphanages because their bio parents left them at the hospital after birth.
@@d-meth Yeah like I said it's a sad reality but regardless if you were a person with DS listening to this how would you feel if someone said nobody would ever want them.
Well people that are poor would not want a disabled child at all.People can't afford to take care of the child.
@@fur8104 Yeah again it's sad but true. Doesn't mean someone with that disability should have to hear that when they are already suffering. I still think they did God's work. It's just that one sentence can be very damaging. No one wants to be told they aren't wanted by anyone because of something they can't control.
I believe the lord has lead me to this video, I submitted my record of interest to adopt on Monday, 15th March, I should hear within 5 working days if I’ve been approved.
Did you?! 😱
They have accepted my record of interest and I have now been moved on to the next stage, fingers crossed once all the paper work is done and I’ve done the training courses I will go to panel who have the final say, it takes around 6 months, so a fair amount of time but here I go!!!
Congratulations!! I will pray for you 🙏🏻
Congrats and a God Bless
@Blass what’s wrong with being subscribed to Mr Beast? Maybe she likes his videos😂
I pray that one day I'm in a place that I could adopt at least one child with a disability.
It broke my heart to hear the dad talk about how many orphans there are in the world compared to how many Christians, therefore there should be no orphans left in orphanages. Unfortunately being a Christian doesn't automatically give people the financial means to do what their heart calls them to do. I have one daughter that I adopted and I've met children since then that I felt the need to care for them and give them a home, but I only have the room and finances to care for one.
If God wanted you to have more kids, He’d bless you with the means to do so. These people could’ve had a nice house, nice cars and I’m sure a really ice retirement. But they’re storing their treasures in Heaven. Which is what we all should be doing.
Plenty of Christians with the financial means to do so would rather produce their own natural families. They tend to have huge families too.
They pay you to foster and many adopted kids from foster care still receive monthly subsidies until they are 18. Most states give these youth free college and medical until age 21. Even with excluding really poor Christians there are enough middle class and rich Christians to do this.
If there's a heaven, this couple and their children will be first in line at the gates. This is so beautiful. This is what humans should be.
It’s amazing how honest they are about their faith and how even when they were angry at God they kept their faith...that’s a powerful thing
“4 billion Christians in the world and 200 million orphans, there should not be any orphans” (paraphrased)
This is God’s work, this is what it means to be a Christian, to love as God does.
I’m so sorry for all the losses this family endured. They can rest knowing these kids experienced love in their final days thanks to them. God bless this family.
This family used to go to our church! My friend and her family works for them! They're very sweet people and care so much for everybody.
When she said "Even now 30 years later it still brings tears to my eyes, because you're always a mother" it choked me up. That bright tears to my eyes, I caught even imagine the amount of pain
These beautifull parents are beyond generous and loving. They are an example of selflessness and true Christian values. God bless them and their children.
God bless this beautiful family.
God never makes mistakes. These children are perfect exactly the way they are. They teach us to live life to the fullest and to love unconditionally. God knew how much the world needed people like them and how much joy they would bring. He always knows what he’s doing
Hello Melissa 👋
Those babies are so precious. If I had money and somewhere to live I would love to adopt downs syndrome babies. They need lots of love and they give you lots of love.
God bless this people. They are what we all should aspire to be. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My daughter is 23 with three children of her own, and since she was 15 years old she always said I want to adopt a little girl with down syndrome. Till this day she says she's waiting for god to put that one special adoption in her life.
❤🙋♀️🙏
I love how the father said “There are four billion Christians….there shouldn’t be an orphan left…” . So true! Every child is a gift from their Heavenly Father. God may have taken one of their children as an Angel. Clearly this was to open up their hearts and home. 🙏❤️
There are four billion Christians...and eight billion persons in the world! Every child deserves love and a family, and as long as they have a good heart, the religion does not matter at all 😊
It's so unfair that we still have children suffering all around the world :/
@sophiaoliveira4610 exactly
I just want to tell David: it's not only Christians who should adopt. It's anyone with the means to, with a good heart, a loving heart, ready to open their home.
Thank God, there's people like you guys - we need more of you!
May God bless you all rich fully. Glory be to God.
God bless you...i also have a child with down syndrome...thanks god for everything...they are blessed kids...thanks for the humanity of this parents
@@najmissaoui2204 glad you’re happy :)
God bless these two they have such a massive heart
This is so sweet to hear what they did for the children, god bless because god is good!
I am sitting here crying my eyes out feeling the love of God through you all. You both are true examples of how we should all be living our lives.
You inspire me beyond words.
Thank you for all you do and the love you show. I pray we can all become like you two.
Much love and blessings to you all!! ❤️❤️
I don’t think so there is such word in dictionary which can be sufficient to describe these people. I Just love them, hats off to you. May god blessed you forever.
SO beautiful - reflecting the Father heart of God.
They are so humble...they are amazing Christians
Humanity is never truly lost
It’s not even about Christianity--it is about the depth and size of the hearts of the adoptive patents. They are wonderful people with a huge capacity for love. ❤️❤️❤️
These people are everything!🙏
when this dad (and mom) tear up for these special little ones it’s so beautiful and courageous to see.
This made me cry, we need more people like these people.
Start with yourself ❤
Im adopted god bless u both. And my condolences to the baby u lost. God always has a plan.
What a beautiful family!
I worked with Down Syndrome children in a school in NY and I found they were so loving and wanted to hug you all the time.
Thank you for saving all these wonderful children.
You are definitely the best parents ever.
What a beautiful couple never cried so much watching this you both are pure souls Jesus children ❤ ♥
God blessed those children who passed with a loving family to hold them on their way to heaven. 🙏🏼
Was just scrolling thru RUclips when I saw this suggestion and recognized it immediately!
I know this family! Their daughter was in my elementary school class, and we’ve been close friends since I was 7yrs old. We went to the same small school all the way thru to high school and we graduated high school back in ‘03, and we’re still very close friends now. My siblings to her siblings too.
Small world.
Such an inspirational story. This couple have been blessed with such a beautiful family. People with Down’s syndrome are so loving and are very talented in their own unique way
Wow the Love that this couple has display is so unconditional true love just like Jesus.....may you be blessed beyond measure......your crown is waiting for you both good and faithful servant...what a great love
Families come in all different shapes and sizes. This family is a loving team of awesome parents paired with the blessings of beautiful sweet kids!
This couple is amazing legit angels!! God bless them !
These peoples are soooo awesome with an heart out of this world. God bless them, protect them and sustain them ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
What a treasure you both are. Mom, you said you were not a good Christian, how wrong you were and God knew it. The love that the two of you have isn't at all common. The word says true, Christianity, is to take care of the widows, and the orphans, and you even took on those with this special challenge. My sister was downs, and I even hoped I would have a downs, baby. How precious and lovable they are. I came from a family of 13, when Debra got older, there would be 10 or 12 show up at my mothers on a Fri. afternoon, and Debra knew what everyone of them took, in their coffee or tea. She also had quite a sense of humor, and loved Jesus. When you walked past her bedroom, she was always talking to him. Wow, does our Lord have a special place for all of you. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. I certainly hope you never again say you weren't one of those good Christians. What a way to show the GLORY OF GOD, to those who do not know HIM.
You can tell this couple's life is filled with true joy and meaning.
Simply amazing ❤❤❤. Their hearts are beautiful.
Oh my gracious. How great is our God. 🙏🤗 Y'all are totally amazing. I would love to just sit with you and pray with you and talk with you. My goodness, your testimony of the wonderful grace God has given you. The love he poured on you and thru you. My heart is overwhelmed. Amazing. 😇🤗

I am too old and not in good health, but after watching y’all and the love you have for those beautiful sweet babies , I would take care of them and love them ,if I could.
Thank you for what you have done
God has spoken to me, at first I was just listening and it’s was so heartwarming and made me happy. Then when he said there should not be a single orphan because of how many Christians there are I full on started crying. I was told I’d never have kids, then I got pregnant and miscarried. When that happened my husband and I felt in our hearts we wanted to adopt. A couple months later I got pregnant again and my baby girl came along. Then after that I got pregnant yet again, but sadly I miscarried. The second time was the hardest and I was so bitter about it. But only God knows why I had to go through that again. Now in December baby #3 was born. My husband and I have mentioned in passing how much we would like to adopt. And I think it’s gonna be time for us to get our things in order and get prepared, maybe a baby or older child with Down syndrome. This has truly spoken to me. I can’t hold back my tears, not of sadness, but of happiness and purpose.
God works miracles people may he bless you for all the things you do to love and cherish them children.
"Some people are really good Christians" Words from a really good person. Who wouldn't doubt or blame their God after loosing a child? It's just natural and I'm sure her God understand.
God bless these people
What a beautiful family. Lots of love to you all.
Bless you, I can only hope to be a quarter of the person you wonderful guys are
These people have the biggest heart taking care of these special kids I have a down syndrome daughter thats adopted and she's fifty three now and it takes patience to teach the kids to function to their level but they can learn more than you think
What amazing spirits to have in this world - Keep shining and sharing your light. Thank you!
Stories like this renew my faith in people ❤️
What beautiful hearts God has placed in you. Thank you for yelling from the rooftops the love you have.
Beautiful family with beautiful hearts ❤
You did good in taking them in. Being well acquainted with Down's people myself I should know that they are the nicest anyone could know.
I LOVE the Downs Syndrome population, they are so near and dear to my heart! I applaud you for what you have done!! Your children are all beautiful!! We grew up with a Downs boy in my hometown of 600 people. He was treated just like any other child in his family and in our town. To this day when I see him he has the biggest hug for me and tells me he loves me. I also worked in some facilities where I fell in love with everyone of them. The last facility I worked at was all males (98 of them), where I became a member of their family!! I learned all their little quirks and some of their habits and the workers in the facility were their family! My last job was for nine years, changed management, and all department heads were let go, I was the last one. She was fired four months after me. However, that was the best job I ever had!!!
What a beautiful family I just love them.
This couple is amazing!!!
Such good parents god bless you~~~
What beautiful people these two are. They are truely amazing.
God bless you. What wonderful people you are!
What an absolutely beautiful and amazing couple. How anyone could give this video a thumbs down is beyond me. God Bless them both.x
Thank you for adopting!
Hello Tim👋
God Bless them! TRULY inspirational and moving.
