I am adopted. I got bullied at school once over it and went crying to my father. He said..."What's the problem? You were chosen by us, they were accidents!! They're just jealous.." Never had another problem with it....
I tell my son that Superman, Batman, the Skywalker twins, the Twilight kids: ALL adopted and amazing (they wish they were so cool!) This really shuts the playground bullies up full stop! 😉🤣
Lady C this was a delightful topic! My husband was adopted as a baby. His adopted mom was in her mid 30's. She always longed for children. She adored children and became a school teacher of younger children. She loved her son and he loved her so much. He stayed with her and helped with finances until he was 36 when he met me. She became my good friend and people thought she was my own mom when we went shopping together or went to lunch. We always planned to buy a big house and all live together. Sadly, she passed away this year. . Her son is the kindest man and smart with tools like Misha. A very manly man. I have always said you can tell what kind of a man a man is by the way he treats his mother and the animals around him. God bless you and your sons Lady C.
My parents told me the same thing. I was NO accident and that I was wanted VERY much. That's why they named me Hope. Because they hoped and hoped for a child.🥰
Impressive how lady C son put the question to his mother & just let her speak. No interruptions, just eye contact all the time and occasional nod of the head.
I love how Misha is listening to his story of adoption, that maybe he’s heard many times. He genuinely seems enthralled ... it’s beautiful what you’ve done Lady C.
When I was 16 I had an unexpected pregnancy. I knew at that moment that this child was not "mine", but someone else's - adoption. I decided to go through a reputable agency (closed adoption at the time) and I received counseling and support. I did get to see my son several times while he was awaiting his new parents and I to this day do NOT regret my decision. I wanted to give this child a chance to be loved by a family that could give him what he needed at a time that I just couldn't. Thank you for this video. It has strengthened my decision of many many years ago.
I’m adopted and it’s the greatest gift a woman can give an abandoned child. To become their mother is a gift to that child. My adoptive mum passed away last Oct and she was my guardian angel, I held her in the end how she held me. Lady C you are also your son’s guardian angel, a gift from god. Xx
My "baby" who is adopted, now 17, is my greatest love. I worried that I wouldn't feel for him the way I feel for my 2 biological children. I can tell the you that I feel the same love and connection. I got him at 2 months old.
I have older friends whose grandchild is adopted from Russia. She has a magical life- is in college now, and is very sweet and unpretentious, and very lucky and grateful. Thank you Misha and Lady C. I think this video is one of your best, for Misha and Dima to hear again, especially.
I tried to adopt from Russia but the agency put me later to get one kid from kasakasthan but I did change my mind when I returned from deployment. I don’t regraded
Very interesting but very sad for the children in this country during that period of time. I am so glad you did not give up, the boys are really blessed to have you as there mother.
My son and daughter in law also adopted a little black girl after the birth of their daughter, they are 22 months apart,because they wanted to give the opportunity of a better life to a child in such a circumstances. They had 4 years later a little boy. So I have 3 grandchildren which I love with all my heart.
Surprisingly, Dima and Misha, her two tandem-twin boys look like they could be her natural-born sons,...and, they adore and respect her and vise versa..
Dear Lady C, thank you so much for this touching and sincerity-filled video. Being Russian myself I'm so happy that both boys became part of your wonderful family and avoided the scarring Russian orphanage system that leads so many into life of poverty, addiction and crime. You raised wonderful men that are a joy to listen to and to look at. 💕
As an adopted child now nearing 70, i can say from experience that it takes a very special person to adopt and nuture a child in any circumstances. I have the utmost respect for Lady C, and truly appreciate hearing her adoption story. I can only speak for myself of course, but I do feel immensley grateful for having been adopted by a loving and caring mother. I suspect and also believe that Misha and Dima feel the same gratitude and know that not every little child is as lucky. 'Yet another reason that lady C is to be admired and respected.
Very few young girls give up their kids anymore in CDA most children in foster are ruined before birth...FATAL ALCOHOL AND DRUGS. THEN CRUELTY IN FOSTER CARE MANY TIMES SEXUAL ABUSE. I WAS A SOC WKER WORKED IN SHELTERS ETC I HEARD I SAW!
Absolutely wonderful story. Funny your son is adopted but your son actually looks like you Lady C. And your son’s comment about adoption goes to show what a wonderful mother you are lady C.
I didn't realize Misha was adopted until Lady C mentioned it. I always thought they looked alike too - especially from the mid-nose to the upper forehead.
Lucky children, she really wanted her precious children. So many "naturally born" are sadly neglected, unloved. God blessed Lady Colin Campbell with two beautiful boys.
Yes and so many ppl want to have a child and can't and would be wonderful parents, while there are others who are popping them out that should never be allowed near children. That seems so unfair. Luckily some of those who can't have their own are able to adopt and give those babies a good life.
Dear Lady C, I recently subscribed to your channel and only watched this episode yesterday. I absolutely loved and enjoyed every minute of it. You truly are a remarkable woman and the boys are extremely fortunate to have such a great mother.
Lady C ... what a treasure you are. And yes, in Australia, they still destroy children in the foster system. Adoption is very difficult. I saw it from the inside, and you're right, the system keeps people in a job. Monstrous. I wanted to adopt a family. Ended up having my own and illness followed. I just 'adopt' other young people who come into my scope. Your boy here is a treasure. To have a Russian heritage is also interesting. Hugs from Australia.
Lady C your assessment of the social services racket and of the damages they routinely caused and continue to cause on newborns and infants in their care(and older children as matter of fact) is exactly on point and has been my very experience in America. There is a special place in hell for those so-called child protection services officials.
Years ago a co-worker of mine wanted to become a foster parent and had to take classes to do so. They of course discussed all the tragic circumstances they may come across. In one of the classes they were asked about why they were interested in fostering and a man stated quite plainly that his girlfriend was in the 'business' and making good money so he wanted to get into the 'business' as well. My co-worker cried for weeks over everything she heard. This was in the US. So sad.
I ran into the same thing here in Canada. They'd rather have children in foster care than be adopted. I've met some really wonderful foster parents through my work as an RN, but the poor kids get bounced from family to family and somehow this is supposed to be better than stability?! By trying to adopt, I found out it's a very very broken system. How sad.
My comments about the US adoption mess has disappeared but it also has its problems getting babies to loving homes in a timely manner. Why is that? No basic trust in people's reasons for adopting, one supposes.
I would only mention that being someone's biological child is no guarantee of anything intrinsically good. Lady Colin just oozes love and material instinct; a quality not all women possess or aspire to...two very lucky boys indeed.
I was raised as a foster child my whole life. It really messed me up. My foster mom died when I was 19, she was my best friend. My brother died 10 yrs ago. My dad & I never got along. That was a nightmare. The rest of my family never accepted me. I have no immediate family alive. I never got married. It's hard. I'm fortunate in other ways. I have my faith. I have good close friends,. that are like family. My natural parents were around when I was young & it took a toll on me. I miss my mom, I know she really loved me. I should have adopted when I was younger. I would had been a good mom.
A wonderful heart warming story... No, you couldn't have left Dima there, you would have forever wondered about him every time you looked at Misha.. Bless you all so very much... What a Love Story!!!
Salutations to you Lady Campbell for loving without limitations. I adopted a beautiful.chubby little baby of 4 months old and she is now 25 yrs old and busy with post-graduate studies. My absolute pride and joy. Your son is more than welcome to look us up here in cape Town, in South Africa if ever he visits here. You could be his escourt ... THE MORE THE MERRIER.
Oh my goodness, the women who are fortunate enough to call Lady C their mother-in-law, I am SO envious 😭 They will have such an amazing time with her !!! All the best to you Lady C 😊
I was adopted. It took me 4 yrs to get away from them. I was 10 when I got adopted (long story) I wasn't allowed an independent thought and was not listened to or believed. They had me put in reform school. Bad mistake, I loved it & had a house mother who appreciated me and cared for me. I was with her until her death. Then it was a large group home, loved that and a few years later joined the Army. Had a good self made life. Adoption does work for alot of people. For me it didn't, I do wish all of those adopted people out there. Make sure you have someone to talk to.
I have no doubt you mean well, so I say this with absolutely no malice. With that being said, a child is special regardless if someone “wants” them or not. Adoption is a beautiful act of love, but I think we should always teach our children that their worth has nothing to do with how other people feel about them.
That's ridiculous, so what you're saying is babies born and raised by biological parents aren't special but just average or not worthy? I understand what you're trying to say but that's a ridiculous comment.
Susan Oh what you’ve been through. I’m so sorry. It’s wonderful to read that despite the torture you endured, you determinedly worked to come out in top. Bless you. And may you bless others with what you have learned about how children everywhere and anywhere should be treated. Godspeed.
This was very heartwarming and honest. Both your children are lovely and well mannered. You did a wonderful job raising them and I can see the love you have for each other.
I wish I would have known this ten years ago!! We were TURNED DOWN as parents... no baggage, no debt, no bad reci, no divorces- it was unbelievable. I turned against the adoption system then as it was obvious it was screwed up or corrupt or both. I feel for and pray for the poor children.... 😥
So sorry that happened to you! Same thing happened to my friend who lost $20,000 to get a baby from Central America, to be turned down over a year later. So sad!!!
It cost us nothing to adopt our three daughters through the state of Missouri Division of Family Services. I think private agencies might charge. I do know of adoptions that have not been very satisfactory-some from the child side, some from the parental side.
I am EXACTLY here. I am 40, married and have been doing fertility for 4yrs now. IVF this year, if it doesn't take adoption is my next plan. We have SO much to offer children, LOVE, beautiful ranch, family, hard working, solid footing. Social Services IS STILL THE SAME.
I chose not to have children of my own... for many many reasons... I have faith that if God wants me to be a mother he will put children in my life that are in need of what I’m able to give them.... sooooo many out there. Good luck on your families journey.
I hope your situation regarding expanding your family. I was a foster carer for years, concentrating the harder to place children. It was tough, but brought such great joy to me, my Son and all the children I cared for. I only stopped because of my ill health. Some Foster Carers went on to adopting children. This mat be something for you, if IVF doesn't work. I hope you have a child now. Their are so many children in need. Social Services are still a nightmare, but if you stay focused anything is possible. Blessings to you and your family xXx
I can't tell you how much I loved this discussion. The outpouring of love and admiration between you two was palpable. I am delighted that the good lord brought you together. Misha, I am a genealogist and work with a lot of people who have been adopted and I've found that some of them carry feelings of rejection by their birth families which brings great pain. I think most people don't want to bring up the discussion of adoption because it may bring these negative feelings to the surface. It's a subject I'm very careful of until I know how the adopted person feels about being adopted. You are such a loving son to your mother and I can see the love she has for you in her eyes. May you find a godly woman with whom to have children. Blessings!
Your son's got the best mother they could have ask for . Your heart is so big to take both boys at once and give them the Best up bringing. Plus so educated mother of all the knowledge you have shared with them. Hope both your son's realize how special they are.
Kids do torment you. That's for sure. But, what a wonderful torment. Both of my boys are a wonderful blessing to me. I enjoy them so much. I feel very blessed to know them.
I can't believe the fact that Georgie actually made me cry 💔 during the last few seconds of talking about adopting Misha and Dima her whole demeanor completely changed from being a hard headed business woman into a doting mother . When Misha was talking about how people ask about being adopted her face was full of surprise and love ... tiger mummy's instinct .
I just started following and had never heard of Lady C before. I was so touched by her adoption story. The 3 of them are so fortunate to have found each other. Congratulations, even though it was 27 years ago. I am so happy for all of you.
I was hoping to see photos of the babies with Lady C. It would have been nice ! Thankyou for sharing that beautiful story l am not surprise Lady C took the two babies ; this is who she is a big hearth.
I loved the story of your adoption. Lady C. you are so loving towards your children. Misha and Dima are very sweet and respectful young gentlemen. It is obvious they were loved to bits by you. I really admire you the more I watch your channel.
Wow what a long drawn out process that only shows the dedication you had to adopting a child. His appearance in this video shows a kind, gentle and well rounded young man you have brought up and there is clearly very great love and warmth between you congratulations Lady C.
Bless you for speaking on this. 💜💜💜 We adopted our beloved son who is the greatest joy of our lives! 🌞✌🥰 I'm especially tickled by this as a British/Asian/Jewish mother... My first Cavalier was a great big brother for our son. Yours is a wonderful and inspiring story. THANK YOU! 🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️ #ruthlessmumsunite #internationaladoption #blessed
This beautiful women is their mother in everyway ,a mother is the person who. has brought you up ,a mother is a person who loves you no matter what ,a mother is a person who would lay down her life to protect you !!!!!!🤗🇬🇧
Dear Lady C, Can you and Misha please create a video where you talk about what your day to day life is like at the castle, currently (summer and fall) during the quarantine? Is it quiet? You have done some wonderful documentaries in the past. One of my favorites is the dinner party you gave in London with a hired butler, and chef. And you also talked about hiring staff. Now, it would be fun to learn little details about life at the castle during this quarantine. For example, Mickey is a lap dog. Is she also a bed buddy or does she sleep in her doggie bed? And what about your fabulous cats? Do you go to the local food shops yourself or does the grocer deliver? Do you and Misha cook? It would be fun if you and Misha take your cameras into the family kitchen and talk about food...! Hope you will consider it.
I would love to see that also. I have watched the video about hiring a butler for the dinner party. I also watched a video about renovations of the castle...it was GREAT!
@@angeliaandrews7090 Those are really great & still on YT. I wish full episodes of MTV Europe's The Royal World with her sons & Tyler Markle was available... I don't usually watch reality TV but a Life at Castle Goring w/ the Ziadie-Campbell family would be outstanding! ✌💜😉
Everything happens for a reason , but I feel so sorry for the Chernobyl baby , what a life he would have had , and how loved and wanted. But how lucky and loved her two boys are 💙💜💚
Of all the videos you have made, this one is my favourite. Lady C lights up recalling the moment she saw her babies. I am so happy you shared this story with us.
Thank you for such a lovely video. I was luckily adopted in 1967 by the most extraordinarily kind, loving and generous people who have unconditionally loved me all my life. Mum, couldn’t have her own children and grandma, like your daddy, was super cautious but my momma tells me that as soon as grandma saw me she too loved me like I’d been born to the family. Unfortunately not enough babies are adopted out these days and the message should be love your child enough to give it a better chance. Not to keep a baby, destroy it then have it put into care when you can’t cope. I totally agree with you Lady C. Thank you for your candid interview, the chord which it struck within me will resonate for the rest of the day x
I adopted as a single mother from the foster care system in Canada. Adoption is expensive and very difficult. I’d do it all again a thousand times over to have my little girl. Your love for your boys shines through.
After having 3 of my own, we adopted another one. The very best thing we ever did! Our adult children adore her, as do we, and she has added so much to our lives! Adoption is a blessing for everyone evolved!
I adore Lady C, it's such a pleasure to listen to this wise and down to earth woman. And to hear her wonderfully natural laugh always brings a smile to my face.
I admire the great effort & determination you had in adopting your children. When you lovingly said, “And I met you” . Next you opened your heart to your second.❤️❤️
I love everything about her both inside and out. A very special beautiful lady indeed, her knowledge knows no bounds. Always pleasant, on point, just simply a pleasure to look at, listen to and learn from. Lots of love 💕
My grandmother was adopted, my sister adopted a son, and my cousin adopted a daughter. It was evident to me that the children my sister and cousin adopted were connected via the soul.
What a wonderful lady colin Campbell is after seeing this latest video about how she came to adopt her two boys. She is the proudest and most loving mother and those two boys are very lucky to have her.
I absolutely love this story of how Lady C built her family! No family is perfect, but if the love is there, and clearly it is here, why should this family be any different? Thank you so much for sharing such a personal story. I, for one, would love to hear a follow up with both of your handsome sons. 🙏❤️🙏
Yes thank you this was very heart warming Lady C you are a remarkable Lady and you can see how much love there is between you and your sons thank you again for allowing us into your family life xx
Lady Colin Campbell and Misha, this is fascinating, because my family moved to St. Petersburg in January 1995 until early 2000, and my sister still lives there. She helped children who were living on the streets and orphanages for years, and it was very difficult for the Russian people during that time. There have been a lot of abuse stories involving children adopted from Russia, which has made it more difficult to adopt. At the same time things have gotten much better in Russia as far as care, and many children from the orphanages and the streets have been adopted into Russian families, and she still visits the orphanages that are still there, and they are much better looked after than they used to be during those years.
Such a wonderful program! I realize it is 2 years old, but it is one of your best segments!.. You have a wonderful son (very handsome). It brought such warmth to my heart to hear that you are an adoptive mother and the love you showed. Bravo!
I admire Lady C for taking two boys and filling their loves with love and comfort. I conceived nearing 40 thinking that I never would be able, so I understand the yearning for children and the joy they bring. Its terrible to think of the children in the world who are suffering so I commend anyone who tries to make a difference.
What an inspirational figure, Lady C. Your childrens are blessed under your guidance and leadership. Strong bonding between a mum and child. Education begins from home.
I did find this really heartwarming and you can see the love between you only a mother and child could have,there are many children like you said Lady C that grow up broken within the system and that’s sad …I’m so happy for you and your sons you had the love to bring them both home,you’ve brought your boys up really well polite and respectful and more then anything they know there loved by you ❤❤❤❤
I am adopted. I got bullied at school once over it and went crying to my father. He said..."What's the problem? You were chosen by us, they were accidents!! They're just jealous.." Never had another problem with it....

I'm sorry for your loss.
So sorry for the loss of your beloved Mum-in-Law.
HERE..HERE !!!! I AGREE 💯

You could see the love in her eyes how she's looking at her son!

Absolutely. It's touching to see their love.
Absolutely - that was the first thing I noticed at the start of the video...the love and pride in her eyes

He’s being an “active listener”, lovely to see.
Yes, but I'm sure he enjoys listening to her, because I could listen to her for hours
A very warn connection.
Oh, he just adores her. Wonderful
Yes, he was raised properly, with manners and respect. Kudos Lady C❤️

There is a special place in hell for those so-called child protection services officials.
Beautifully put! It saddens me how few people realise how evil the system can be :(
Years ago a co-worker of mine wanted to become a foster parent and had to take classes to do so. They of course discussed all the tragic circumstances they may come across. In one of the classes they were asked about why they were interested in fostering and a man stated quite plainly that his girlfriend was in the 'business' and making good money so he wanted to get into the 'business' as well. My co-worker cried for weeks over everything she heard. This was in the US. So sad.
@@pamostman516 - shocking isn't it! They should never be allowed in.
I ran into the same thing here in Canada. They'd rather have children in foster care than be adopted. I've met some really wonderful foster parents through my work as an RN, but the poor kids get bounced from family to family and somehow this is supposed to be better than stability?! By trying to adopt, I found out it's a very very broken system. How sad.
My comments about the US adoption mess has disappeared but it also has its problems getting babies to loving homes in a timely manner. Why is that? No basic trust in people's reasons for adopting, one supposes.
I would only mention that being someone's biological child is no guarantee of anything intrinsically good. Lady Colin just oozes love and material instinct; a quality not all women possess or aspire to...two very lucky boys indeed.
Mickie the star of the show, resting on the sofa, love all 3 of u (hi Lady C & Misha!)
@Kitty Mason Really? At which minute?
Mickie snores throughout the video.
@@tinalouisestagg Ahahahahaha so cute!!!
Micky was so sweet sleeping on the couch the whole time.
yes i noticed that,
I love how Mickey is listening so intently in the background. She's probably wondering when her story of adoption is going to be told.
Lol
God bless you and your children Lady C.
I was raised as a foster child my whole life. It really messed me up. My foster mom died when I was 19, she was my best friend. My brother died 10 yrs ago. My dad & I never got along. That was a nightmare. The rest of my family never accepted me. I have no immediate family alive. I never got married. It's hard. I'm fortunate in other ways. I have my faith. I have good close friends,. that are like family. My natural parents were around when I was young & it took a toll on me. I miss my mom, I know she really loved me. I should have adopted when I was younger. I would had been a good mom.
A wonderful heart warming story... No, you couldn't have left Dima there, you would have forever wondered about him every time you looked at Misha.. Bless you all so very much... What a Love Story!!!
Salutations to you Lady Campbell for loving without limitations. I adopted a beautiful.chubby little baby of 4 months old and she is now 25 yrs old and busy with post-graduate studies. My absolute pride and joy. Your son is more than welcome to look us up here in cape Town, in South Africa if ever he visits here. You could be his escourt ... THE MORE THE MERRIER.
This by far is my favorite chat. The love and mutual admiration is so clearly demonstrated.
It is so sweet to see that no matter how old a child gets, a loving story is so comforting
Wonderful video!! You’ve been a wonderful mom, Lady C. Dedicated and strong.
Oh my goodness, the women who are fortunate enough to call Lady C their mother-in-law, I am SO envious 😭 They will have such an amazing time with her !!! All the best to you Lady C 😊
No matter what topic you pick you have a natural talent in making it interesting. A fabulous raconteur.
What is beautiful about adoption is that your parent/s 100% chose you.
Adopted children are special because they are choosen.
Genoarose B. that's a ridiculous comment
I was adopted. It took me 4 yrs to get away from them. I was 10 when I got adopted (long story) I wasn't allowed an independent thought and was not listened to or believed. They had me put in reform school. Bad mistake, I loved it & had a house mother who appreciated me and cared for me. I was with her until her death. Then it was a large group home, loved that and a few years later joined the Army. Had a good self made life.
Adoption does work for alot of people. For me it didn't, I do wish all of those adopted people out there. Make sure you have someone to talk to.
I have no doubt you mean well, so I say this with absolutely no malice.
With that being said, a child is special regardless if someone “wants” them or not.
Adoption is a beautiful act of love, but I think we should always teach our children that their worth has nothing to do with how other people feel about them.
That's ridiculous, so what you're saying is babies born and raised by biological parents aren't special but just average or not worthy? I understand what you're trying to say but that's a ridiculous comment.
Susan Oh what you’ve been through. I’m so sorry. It’s wonderful to read that despite the torture you endured, you determinedly worked to come out in top. Bless you. And may you bless others with what you have learned about how children everywhere and anywhere should be treated. Godspeed.
This was very heartwarming and honest. Both your children are lovely and well mannered. You did a wonderful job raising them and I can see the love you have for each other.
I wish I would have known this ten years ago!! We were TURNED DOWN as parents... no baggage, no debt, no bad reci, no divorces- it was unbelievable. I turned against the adoption system then as it was obvious it was screwed up or corrupt or both. I feel for and pray for the poor children.... 😥
In the United States it costs about 100K to adopt, we had friends who wanted a child but didn’t have that kind of money.
So sorry that happened to you! Same thing happened to my friend who lost $20,000 to get a baby from Central America, to be turned down over a year later. So sad!!!
It cost us nothing to adopt our three daughters through the state of Missouri Division of Family Services.
I think private agencies might charge.
I do know of adoptions that have not been very satisfactory-some from the child side, some from the parental side.
I’m so sad that happened!
l can resonate with your story. l too was told l was too old by UK Social Services . I was 42 !
I am EXACTLY here. I am 40, married and have been doing fertility for 4yrs now. IVF this year, if it doesn't take adoption is my next plan. We have SO much to offer children, LOVE, beautiful ranch, family, hard working, solid footing. Social Services IS STILL THE SAME.
I chose not to have children of my own... for many many reasons...
I have faith that if God wants me to be a mother he will put children in my life that are in need of what I’m able to give them.... sooooo many out there.
Good luck on your families journey.
4 years! $$$$$$$$
Good luck.
I hope your situation regarding expanding your family. I was a foster carer for years, concentrating the harder to place children. It was tough, but brought such great joy to me, my Son and all the children I cared for. I only stopped because of my ill health. Some Foster Carers went on to adopting children. This mat be something for you, if IVF doesn't work. I hope you have a child now. Their are so many children in need. Social Services are still a nightmare, but if you stay focused anything is possible. Blessings to you and your family xXx
I can't tell you how much I loved this discussion. The outpouring of love and admiration between you two was palpable. I am delighted that the good lord brought you together. Misha, I am a genealogist and work with a lot of people who have been adopted and I've found that some of them carry feelings of rejection by their birth families which brings great pain. I think most people don't want to bring up the discussion of adoption because it may bring these negative feelings to the surface. It's a subject I'm very careful of until I know how the adopted person feels about being adopted. You are such a loving son to your mother and I can see the love she has for you in her eyes. May you find a godly woman with whom to have children. Blessings!
Your son's got the best mother they could have ask for . Your heart is so big to take both boys at once and give them the Best up bringing. Plus so educated mother of all the knowledge you have shared with them. Hope both your son's realize how special they are.
yuck
Kids do torment you. That's for sure. But, what a wonderful torment. Both of my boys are a wonderful blessing to me. I enjoy them so much. I feel very blessed to know them.
What a wonderful thing you did in adopting your boys, they are a credit to you.
I can't believe the fact that Georgie actually made me cry 💔 during the last few seconds of talking about adopting Misha and Dima her whole demeanor completely changed from being a hard headed business woman into a doting mother . When Misha was talking about how people ask about being adopted her face was full of surprise and love ... tiger mummy's instinct .
Lady C is certainly very highly intelligent. Now I see she is also very caring. You can see how much these two love each other.
😘😘😘. You can see how much you all love each other.
What a lovely man Misha is !
What a wonderful story of love and persistence.
Yes.
I just started following and had never heard of Lady C before. I was so touched by her adoption story. The 3 of them are so fortunate to have found each other. Congratulations, even though it was 27 years ago. I am so happy for all of you.
I so love these two! ❤️
Agreed! I normally don't follow users IDK personally but I just looked at Misha's Instagram... he's so adorable. 🌞
Are we going to meet Dima? What happened to Leo?
I got goosebumps when she told her son a beautiful baby boy had become available (3rd time lucky). Lady C has a beautiful soul.
I was hoping to see photos of the babies with Lady C. It would have been nice ! Thankyou for sharing that beautiful story l am not surprise Lady C took the two babies ; this is who she is a big hearth.
My respect to dear Lady C with the adopting two Russian boys to raise. Being from Russia, I could relate to your story. Thank you.
I loved the story of your adoption. Lady C. you are so loving towards your children. Misha and Dima are very sweet and respectful young gentlemen. It is obvious they were loved to bits by you. I really admire you the more I watch your channel.
Wow what a long drawn out process that only shows the dedication you had to adopting a child. His appearance in this video shows a kind, gentle and well rounded young man you have brought up and there is clearly very great love and warmth between you congratulations Lady C.
Bless you for speaking on this. 💜💜💜 We adopted our beloved son who is the greatest joy of our lives! 🌞✌🥰 I'm especially tickled by this as a British/Asian/Jewish mother... My first Cavalier was a great big brother for our son. Yours is a wonderful and inspiring story. THANK YOU! 🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️

This beautiful women is their mother in everyway ,a mother is the person who. has brought you up ,a mother is a person who loves you no matter what ,a mother is a person who would lay down her life to protect you !!!!!!🤗🇬🇧
Dear Lady C, Can you and Misha please create a video where you talk about what your day to day life is like at the castle, currently (summer and fall) during the quarantine? Is it quiet? You have done some wonderful documentaries in the past. One of my favorites is the dinner party you gave in London with a hired butler, and chef. And you also talked about hiring staff.
Now, it would be fun to learn little details about life at the castle during this quarantine. For example, Mickey is a lap dog. Is she also a bed buddy or does she sleep in her doggie bed? And what about your fabulous cats? Do you go to the local food shops yourself or does the grocer deliver? Do you and Misha cook? It would be fun if you and Misha take your cameras into the family kitchen and talk about food...! Hope you will consider it.
That would be awesome!!!
I would love that too!
I would love to see that also. I have watched the video about hiring a butler for the dinner party. I also watched a video about renovations of the castle...it was GREAT!
@@angeliaandrews7090 Those are really great & still on YT. I wish full episodes of MTV Europe's The Royal World with her sons & Tyler Markle was available... I don't usually watch reality TV but a Life at Castle Goring w/ the Ziadie-Campbell family would be outstanding! ✌💜😉
Oh please, this would be so interesting 🙏💖
Everything happens for a reason , but I feel so sorry for the Chernobyl baby , what a life he would have had , and how loved and wanted. But how lucky and loved her two boys are 💙💜💚
Of all the videos you have made, this one is my favourite. Lady C lights up recalling the moment she saw her babies. I am so happy you shared this story with us.
Thank you for such a lovely video. I was luckily adopted in 1967 by the most extraordinarily kind, loving and generous people who have unconditionally loved me all my life. Mum, couldn’t have her own children and grandma, like your daddy, was super cautious but my momma tells me that as soon as grandma saw me she too loved me like I’d been born to the family. Unfortunately not enough babies are adopted out these days and the message should be love your child enough to give it a better chance. Not to keep a baby, destroy it then have it put into care when you can’t cope. I totally agree with you Lady C. Thank you for your candid interview, the chord which it struck within me will resonate for the rest of the day x
I adopted as a single mother from the foster care system in Canada. Adoption is expensive and very difficult. I’d do it all again a thousand times over to have my little girl. Your love for your boys shines through.
I was a foster child...chosen...loved...and blessed by the parents I was with. Thank you for your story.
A beautiful story...how blessed you are to have each other.
Every child is precious. Your lovely sons have been lucky to have you as their mum, Lady C.
After having 3 of my own, we adopted another one. The very best thing we ever did! Our adult children adore her, as do we, and she has added so much to our lives! Adoption is a blessing for everyone evolved!
I adore Lady C, it's such a pleasure to listen to this wise and down to earth woman. And to hear her wonderfully natural laugh always brings a smile to my face.
I really enjoyed today's truly heart warming video. The chemistry between you both speaks volumes, total love and respect.
I admire the great effort & determination you had in adopting your children. When you lovingly said, “And I met you” . Next you opened your heart to your second.❤️❤️
Enjoyed your adoption journey. It is nice to have a parent that wanted their children.
I love your adoption story , very fine young men. It looks like you sine great job raising them. 41:56
It’s really lovely to see this tender, and sweet side of Lady C. Thank you so much for sharing such a touching, personal story. Very special.
I love everything about her both inside and out.
A very special beautiful lady indeed, her knowledge knows no bounds.
Always pleasant, on point, just simply a pleasure to look at, listen to and learn from.
Lots of love 💕
My grandmother was adopted, my sister adopted a son, and my cousin adopted a daughter. It was evident to me that the children my sister and cousin adopted were connected via the soul.
What a wonderful lady colin Campbell is after seeing this latest video about how she came to adopt her two boys. She is the proudest and most loving mother and those two boys are very lucky to have her.
What a wonderful story Lady C and Misha. Heartwarming, beautiful. You have brought up two wonderful young men. Bless you all. Xxx
What a brilliant outlook on life you have Lady C, coupled with wisdom, courage and love. Bless you both. Thank you for your story.
I absolutely love this story of how Lady C built her family! No family is perfect, but if the love is there, and clearly it is here, why should this family be any different? Thank you so much for sharing such a personal story. I, for one, would love to hear a follow up with both of your handsome sons. 🙏❤️🙏
XXXXX
Yes thank you this was very heart warming Lady C you are a remarkable Lady and you can see how much love there is between you and your sons thank you again for allowing us into your family life xx
I absolutely loved hearing about how you adopted your boys. Always love lady C.
Love Lady C & son, Misha
A lovely story, beautifully told, by a most wonderfully "ruthless" woman. Thank you so much for sharing Lady C. God bless you and your sons.
Please don't ever stop making videos you two. I could listen to Lady C all day. 🥰
Me too! The depth of her experience and knowledge about such an array of subjects is magical.
Misha hasn't taken his eye's off you once, what a special bond you have 💙
Lady Colin Campbell and Misha, this is fascinating, because my family moved to St. Petersburg in January 1995 until early 2000, and my sister still lives there. She helped children who were living on the streets and orphanages for years, and it was very difficult for the Russian people during that time. There have been a lot of abuse stories involving children adopted from Russia, which has made it more difficult to adopt. At the same time things have gotten much better in Russia as far as care, and many children from the orphanages and the streets have been adopted into Russian families, and she still visits the orphanages that are still there, and they are much better looked after than they used to be during those years.
Good news.
Thankyou for that insight. So glad Putin improves life for all slowly but surely.
Such a wonderful program! I realize it is 2 years old, but it is one of your best segments!.. You have a wonderful son (very handsome). It brought such warmth to my heart to hear that you are an adoptive mother and the love you showed. Bravo!
I admire Lady C for taking two boys and filling their loves with love and comfort. I conceived nearing 40 thinking that I never would be able, so I understand the yearning for children and the joy they bring. Its terrible to think of the children in the world who are suffering so I commend anyone who tries to make a difference.
What an inspirational figure, Lady C. Your childrens are blessed under your guidance and leadership. Strong bonding between a mum and child. Education begins from home.
This lady is a beautiful being in all ways!
I did find this really heartwarming and you can see the love between you only a mother and child could have,there are many children like you said Lady C that grow up broken within the system and that’s sad …I’m so happy for you and your sons you had the love to bring them both home,you’ve brought your boys up really well polite and respectful and more then anything they know there loved by you ❤❤❤❤
