    Hillary, you are definitely a “real mother” and you and Rich’s story of unselfish giving is inspirational.
    God blessed you both and you saved 3 lives with that blessing.

    Rich, a few years ago my wife and I were struggling to have kids and she mentioned fostering and adoption. I was totally against it then, however after hearing you share your story my heart changed and now we have two of the most beautiful girls. Thanks for opening up about this and helping me bring my kids home.

    Anyone that says you're not a real mom can't be happy in life. If I had the resources and time I would adopt a house full of kids. A mom is someone that loves conditionally and gives their life to children. That broke my heart to hear that. God loves and thanks you both for giving those little ones a beautiful loving life♥️

    Rich and Hillary, thank you for taking children into your life and giving them all you can. There are so many children out there that need a family. Anyone who says you aren't "real parents" are idiots and good on you for not giving them the time of day. Stay strong, stay positive, you rock!

    You are a real mother Hillary, I’m adopted and never once do I ever see my parents as anything different. My mom always told me, “you may not have been born under my heart but in it.” It’s not about the biology it’s always about the love and care. From what I see these kids have two amazing, selfless parents who will always love them and that is what being a mother and a father is all about. Bless you all.

Honestly better off and get along better than a lot of the typical biological families I know. You're doing the right thing.

    I love this video. My mom couldn’t have any other kids after me. She felt like our family wasn’t complete, and when I was 5 we got a call saying that there was a little boy who belonged in our family. When I walked into the room, he turned and smiled (I swear he smiled even though he was only 3 days old) and I knew he was my brother. I know that God intended him to be my brother from the very beginning. I know that God also knew that my mom’s body wasn’t going to be able to bring him to our family, and we are so grateful for the family that did bring him to us. I hope that your video will bring knowledge and inspiration to many people.

    I’m 90 secs in and honestly this will probably be my favorite series. One thing that made me a follower of Rich was his mother as a man. I’ll never be at fit as him or get to do some of the things he has. But I like seeing the parts that I do relate to and can learn from.

    "when am I sacrificing too much for the future that I'm missing out on the present". As a father of 4, I feel ya. On top of my full-time job, I'm a National Guardsman. Between work, drill and annual training, schools, and two deployments I've missed my fair share. Best tip I can give you is learn to be okay declining invitations to events. Plan family outings and prioritize them over other invites. I'll also take days off where I'm not doing chores or catching up on anything else other than personal time with the wife and kids.

    THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING TO WATCH, PLEASE MAKE A NETFLIX SERIES 😄 thank you so much for creating this, it's so raw and genuine. You all have such a beautiful family!💓 I love how you showed the real parts of parenting and I also loved Rich's advice for future parents, "Don't listen to anyone". A lot of people try to give you advice on how they think you should raise your kids. Everyone is different though and different things work for different families. I find it so disgusting that people were being hateful to Hilary. I have been mom-shamed before as well, so I know how much that hurts when you're doing your absolute best. She is definitely a REAL MAMA, you can see that deep unconditional love in her eyes and her mama spidey senses kick in anytime possible danger appears. It sounds like she and Rich just want to spend as much time with their babies as possible. That is SO admirable and refreshing. You can see that they are both making the most of their time with all of their beautiful babies and soaking it in. I loved Crossfit before but now I love it even more because this is the high quality of loving, caring, and resilient people that it draws in.🙌💖🏋🏼‍♀️

    For health class, we watched a video on The Fittest Man. I was amazed and impressed and even shocked when I watched it. But the main thing I held onto, was how the family were Christians and had such bold ams strong faith in the Lord.
    Afterwards, I wanted to learn and see more about your family. Then I found your YouTude channel. You guys are amazing.
    Hillary, your an amazing mom. You don't have to have given birth to be a true mother. A true mother is someone who loves and cares for a child or even just another human. I'm a 'mother hen' to my guy friends at school. I worry about them and care about what happens. You want to protect then and let them know they are loved.
    And that's who you are💙

    I just have to say from a family that went through the infertility I am so glad that both of these two get to be parents. They are what parents should look at being.
    I look at them and I can’t help but tear up cause I understand the missing out. I understand the pain of failed test. I understand rich saying “there is nothing you can say to make it better”.
    I am so glad you shared this cause it is something that is so personal that it is actually allowing us to separate rich froning crossfit god to rich froning dad of 3.
