    Hannah and Brandon started their own nonprofit called Growing Inclusivity. They are currently fundraising to build an inclusive playground + garden at gofund.me/61ceca81 . I just gave a thousand bucks and if you are interested you can consider contributing 5 dollars at the link above. Many people contributing this small amount will allow them to create an accessible space for both disabled and nondisabled people. Thank you!

    I love that they adopted older kids from foster care. so many ppl will only adopt newborns, but there are so many older children who still desperately need a family. Hannah seems like a very empathetic parent who fosters the ability to have very open lines of communication, which is so important. their family is so cute 🥰

      I must emphasize how much newborns are desired over older children. I was listening to an adoption lawyer discuss her agencies caseload. She admitted that babies are treated like commodities. Especially white, healthy, non-addicted babies. On the totem pole of human value, an already insane concept, infants are incredibly high, much higher than the distance between unhealthy, nonwhite infants and toddler-adolescent children. It’s so insane that people have been regularly scammed out of “buying” a baby because they’re so desperate and “supply” is so low.
      Anyway, welcome to hell.

      Same! in my early 20s I met a woman who just, well, she just asked a lot of questions. Anything she didn't understand or wanted to know more about she was so not afraid to ask. At first I was in awe but after spending a few days with her I realized how smart all that asking was making her. I guess part of me always feared seeming like I wasn't smart just because I didn't know something, when in reality, asking questions about what's around us is how we learn. Ever since I met that woman, I view people who ask a lot of questions as being very smart (if only I had seen that for myself growing up lol)

      @Kristy Stone Good for you being on it. My parents and family had no idea about anxiety. I developed ulcers in seventh grade and became too thin, but looking back in it, those who tried their best are who I try to emulate. With focus, channeling and recognizing anxiety can become a seemingly positive attribute at times, but I spent years examining context, history, and a bit of philosophy when it comes to the world of business, and was honestly surprised at how many people felt like me. Thank you for your comment. I can only imagine you have your own compendium of how to get through life through the simple pleasures given, realizing the key to life is happiness; but the trick is we must create it, not take it.

    • @kennypitts4829

      @Дм Го My specific point, since you missed it, was to call out the reluctance of the adopted kids to ask questions about their mom before other kids do for them. Asking questions and gaining empirical evidence is extremely important to everyone, especially kids.
      Modern society? I'm 42 and had anxiety due to a serious surgery in fifth grade. I'll let you count back how many years that was. Way before the whole trend of "poor me".

    It's really refreshing to hear a couple talk about how they actually put a lot of thought into family planning. So many people pop out kids because "it's just what you do" and don't really think about what it means to bring a whole new person into the world. Hannah actually asked questions about what pregnancy would be like with her disability, and decided it wasn't for her, and she wanted to become a mother in a different way. I think that's really commendable

And that's exactly what they are experiencing. It's obvious and so uplifting!! Thanks for always sharing. I've truly decided that after going thru a divorce and leaving television for the sake of finances and stumbled upon RUclips, was not by mistake.

    I liked that sentence so much, when she said "we're learning to talk about everything". That's one of the most important things in education, that kids have soneone who listens and talks to them in a respectful and honest way. You can overcome a lot of obstacles in life if you have learnt that as a child.

    I wish I had the temperament and strength of character that Hannah and Brandon have. I have so many mental and physical health challenges, but my ex and I were totally gung-ho about eventually adopting older kids. We both grew up in terribly abusive, broken homes, and we wanted do our part to break that cycle. Also, I’m terrified of handling babies.
    But I know my limitations and I know at this moment that I’m unable to provide a good, stable home for a child. I don’t know when or even if that will ever change. All good parents, and especially adoptive parents, disabled parents, and parents with disabled children, are incredible people.

      I took a yearlong + course for Medically Fragile Children in need of Foster Families. I came to the 💔 conclusion at the time that the children deserved the best and I wasn't there yet even though I wanted to be. Yes I think there's the " I'm diving in moment" but It was the opposite of Hannah's family and their knowledge and abilities of what they knew they could offer. 👍🏿❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    I was a foster child for many years. During that time I barely got to talk to my brother and we weren't placed together. We were in different states in fact!
    Back then (the 80s) while boys had no issues being fostered, girls weren't nearly as lucky. To the point I was told I either had to go to a girl's orphanage, or move to a different state to be in a foster home.
    Any family that offers foster children a permanent home - thank you!

      Hi. My mom fostered 2 different teen girls, 15, from neighboring towns, in the early 80's. At this time, and before, teenage pregnancies were rampant and teens were into drinking parties. One of the girls was into lying for no reason and would convince older boys to pick her up at the end of our long country driveway. My mom could not trust the situation around other boys. Perhaps, it seems at that time, husbands and wives may have not wanted to be around a similar situation. Maybe girls are perceived as being emotional and hormonal and harder to handle. I don't feel that is true.

    It hit me hard when Hannah said people with disabilities can be or do ANYTHING, being a parent included! I am also raising 4 boys and have a disability. But I have always doubted myself if I am a capable enough mother. Especially since I was widowed 10 yrs ago so have to parent solo. I have Autism and ADHD, which doesn’t effect my appearance that much, but it definitely makes life more challenging. Thank you so much for the encouragement and inspiration. Bless you. xx

    Loved this family 🥰 I grew up in foster care and was separated from all my siblings so I would say that you are both super parents for keeping them together, and loving , protecting and mentoring them! Foster kids are not replacement kids, test kids before you beget yourself, and they’re not easy either! You can’t expect perfection because there are a lot of learned behaviors that were cultivated for survival, that need to be modified. The patience and unconditional love it takes to do this makes you both super in my book. Wishing you all health and happiness!

      I appreciate your openness to express such a difficult thing. I think learning from the parents on here especially about how no matter the disability that there is no diminished capacity for love and connection can help to alleviate that fear. I think it is natural for a parent to want the best life for their child, and I think allowing yourself to grow from this is one of the best ways to ensure their life is happy and full of unconditional love for the person they are.
