- After raising three kids of their own, Susanne and her husband Moritz care for seven foster children. There's never a dull moment in their household. Though, after 15 years, their first foster children are ready to leave the nest.
18-year-old Kai is starting his training to become a police officer, while 16-year-old Sandra will move into a home for people with cognitive disabilities. Sandra, in particular, is finding it hard to leave. Like her fellow foster children, she has grown very attached to Susanne, whom she calls Mama. Susanne, too, is finding it's not easy to let go. One foster child after another is leaving home, while her own kids have already left. Some even have families of their own. They still all get together on weekends, but how long will that last? A report by Almut Maria Röhrl.

I was raised in a foster family, but nothing like that, mine was during the great depression and a lot of unhappyness in the family and around me!
Hope you now living peacefully ❤️
Wow . Must of been such a contrast. Would make for a good biography
We need more people to provide this gift. Too bad it is nearly impossible in the USA.
thanks DW, just cried for 12 mins.
Amazing and so much inspiring TO DO GREAT FOR KIDS AND WORLD!! SHE IS AN ANGEL!!
Incredible lady.
She is a great mother.
yes its good to raise the kids like this way great mother she is and many many love to her from pakistan
She’s wonderful and successful at mothering.
What a great story!
What a woman. This is what I want to be for a mother a home Maker a worker and a amazing woman like her .❤️
That’s adorable. Already, the foster children’s own babies are recognizing the caretaker as grandmother.
I was a foster kid. from age 7-18. ( In the USA )
It was HELL. Was never allowed to do anything. Not allowed to do any kind of extra school activities. All the money my father left me via SSI was stolen by the foster company.
Every Christmas and birthday was eventless. Foster parents didnt want to spend their money on you, only their kids. Parents just collected whatever tiny paycheck they got and didnt spend anything on you. If you didnt "behave" and acted like a normal kid or teen they would just load you up with drugs/meds because the doctors had deals to push it out. No field trips at school, no spending the night at friends houses. Nothing. Just stay inside or in the yard.
At 18? Youre just kicked out. No help or funding from the state.
U commented years ago but I just wanted to say im sorry for what you had to go thru.
We need better foster care systems in europe aswell but its nice to see that atleast some kids can have a good childhood cause everyone deserves it, including you.
Hope your life turned around and your doing better
wonderful family
She’s an angel ❣️
Touching and inspiring!
When you are used to watch just English speaking videos although you are a German and suddenly recognize that the people in the video are German peaple lol
What great people 👍👍👍
The practice of fostering is different in the city; l live in. It is sad to say the least.
Is there a second part?
How wonderful, I would love to be a foster parent. Sadly it’s quite hard to be one in japan.
God bless you
This is cute🤗🤗😘😘
Wow the the children are like if they are raised by their biological parents.
lovely
Worst part of this doc? It ended soon. Oh well
Yes I agree!!
Biological mother cannot be replaced with
There bio parents who cant take care of their kids and for those kids ppl like this is their best chance of a good life.
