#adoption #kentucky #family
I'm just going to send my own personal love and admiration out to the bio mom that was capable of acknowledging she could not take care of a child, but had him anyways, and left him lovingly in the right place, legally, with a note and wrapped in a blanket. She loves that baby, and to give up a child because you are aware enough to know you can only survive while wanting your baby to thrive is heroic IMO.
I hope she can see him healthy and happy with a lovely family.
Amen!! I commend the birth mom for the selfless act of loving him enough to giving him up in hopes that he would have a forever, loving home!!

For Samuel's birth mom to think "I can't do this, my baby deserves better," much respect. Rather than doing anything bad to the baby, she knew he needed help and left him at the fire station. Bless this couple for welcoming "Hammy Sammy" lol into their family and hearts. :)
...Love suffusing our hearts
"No Choice
In this lifetime did we meet
Love suffusing our hearts
But in order to spare you the oppression I suffer
We have no choice but to remain apart
Most human lives are divinities incarnate
Who await the Creator’s deliverance
Atheism and evolution are doctrines false
Modern thought and ways harm oneself
So that this weighty message may be spread
We must be apart, owing to the persecution
Until one day the Red Tide recedes

Total respect for the birth mom. 👏 ❤ He is a beautiful little boy 🥰
I agree.. That makes her a mother who loves her son 🙏🏻

@@Johnny-gm9wo How?
No respect for her.
This is fantastic. Fertility issues did not stop them from having a family. They adopted. I'm adopted. Do not get stuck on fertility issues, adopt.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 Very well said
I love what she did with the blanket. ❤

@@Johnny-gm9woWisdom has chased you for years, but you have always been faster 🏃♂️ 💨
Totally agree 👍
@Johnny-gm9wo, How?
Adorable 🥰
Sad that the natural mother surrendered but glad she realized it. And Bravo to those adoptive parents.

@@Johnny-gm9woNow now.
@@Johnny-gm9wo- same response on multiple posts? Do you really have this much hate in your heart?
Congratulations on adopting Samuel.
@angielovesjoe91,

how?
I love how she turned the blanket he was found in, into a teddy bear. That’s so dope.
Race mixing is a bad idea.
@Johnny-gm9wo Cry some more. When you're done start again.
Shout out to the birth mother for making one of the hardest decisions I’m sure a mother can make
God Bless the young woman who thought of her child's safety first and took him to the Fire Station. God bless the family Samuel now calls his.
Amazing family! Love without barriers.
@bambooblue74,

@@Johnny-gm9woI am going to be praying for you poor little troll.

Pray to white Jesus all you want.
Thank God the birth mother didn't throw him in a dumpster and did the right thing and God bless this amazing family!❤❤❤
Are you referring to the case of Alexee Trevizo?
@@squirrmine4843 I heard of several cases of this over the years,not any peticular one.
Two wonderful people making a big difference in this world. God bless America and Americans.
Applause to the bio mom and I wish her the best. And applause to the adopted parents. You guys gave love that all foster children that entered your home. And gave unconditional love to all three boys.
I gotta say thank goodness his birth mom did the right thing instead of just throwing him away to die as so many others have done and thankfully y'all came into his life to give him a loving home 🎉🎉
God bless the birth mother; sometimes is hard and she made a beautiful decision which shows she really loved him enough to make sure that her baby was loved and welcome into a better life.
I hope the woman that gave him life sees this and is at peace and in love with the beautiful decision she had to make to give him a better life. ❤❤❤
The bio mom did the best thing for him. She didn’t hurt him she loved him enough to leave him safe ! Its so sweet they honored her for him in a way by keeping the blanket she left him in.
It takes so much love to give up a child than it is to keep him… Peace and blessings to your whole family and your beautiful darling three boys!
Thank you to the birth mother for doing what was best for your son while blessing and changing the lives for another family all in the name of love.
Sammy is ADORABLE!! 🥰 I'm an adoptive parent through foster care.
@lichi1244eva,
They just destroyed their family.
@@Johnny-gm9wothe good thing is that it's not your family but their own
Wish both mom and baby could be adopted together-how painful and desperate the birth mom must have felt
I thought the same thing. Can you imagine her seeing this and her heart being pulled with so many mixed emotions!?
I agree - I'm an adoptive parent through foster care and like *many* former foster youth and adoptees, I believe that relinquishment should be a last resort and is *OFTEN, NOT ALWAYS* a permanent solution to a temporary problem that has potentially lifelong ramifications for birth parent/s and child.
In an ideal world, the birth mom would have health, educational, mental and financial support during pregnancy and even for a period after birth. Absent that, engaging extended family or kin to preserve family. Only after all of those options are exhausted should this occur.
The world is not ideal, and there are of course situations for which immediate relinquishment is optimal. But I feel for birth mom making such a big decision when desperate or under duress, especially if there were alternatives.
@@lichi1244eva agree so much with you.

Love and prayers to this family and to his bio mom for doing the right thing the right way. We rarely hear of babies surrendered the right way, only thrown away.
May God bless the birth mother & this family for adopting him. This is a demonstration of what love is.🙏🏾
Thank God she had sense enough to realize he would be better off with a family that would love and care for him. Not every child is that lucky, unfortunately.
@Susanbrown2085,
They just destroyed their family.
Kudos to them... I hope birth mom sees this ❤
EDIT: I hope birth mom sees this so she knows in her heart that she did the right thing. Only love for her.
Thanks for your kindness, may GOD richly bless you and your family.
Some people's love is unconditional
This beautiful Mother loved him enough to give him over to a loving family who could take care of him. Hopefully, one day they will meet again. ❤

@@Johnny-gm9wowhy do you say that?
Such a beautiful story God bless this family abundantly ❤🙏🙏
Thats beautiful 😍❤️ im glad that at least they left him at a fire station the biological parents loved him enough to leave him in a safe place
I'm so happy for him.♥️What a beautiful family❤
@kellystanley5892,

This is a private story for the child. When he grows older he'll want to tell his story to whomever HE wishes.
😭Beautiful story ❤️,love you all, such a beautiful family ❤
I applaud the mum for leaving him at a safe place instead of killing him or throw him in a dumpster, and the people who adopted him God bless you.Ameen
So glad to see kind people in the world. The little man's gonna have a good life. ❤
God is Good all the time all the time God is Good ! Thank You for adopting Sammy .😊
Samuel look exactly like them ❤
Who's cutting onions in my bed?!?!🥲🥲🥲🥲😭
Cheers to the birth mom and parents. Beautiful story.
Wish society taught everyone that all life is precious. No baby should be unwanted but happy for little Sammy and his adoptive family.
I doubt he was unwanted. From the note, sounds like mom couldn’t afford to take care of him.

They just destroyed their family.
@@Johnny-gm9wo Whatever do you mean?
@@prtdiva That's what I'm saying. Society/governments teaches people that money is more important than human life.
This should not be. Nature provides everything for free.
What a precious little boy and family. May God guide, bless. and protect this little angel and the rest of his family.❤🙏🙏🙏
I don't know why the mother dropped him off. And I can only imagine how hard it was for the mouthy to do that. I'm just so glad she did the right thing and left him at the fire station. I'm even happier that he got such awesome parents ❤️.
Exactly...birth mom is a hero
@david-dashrr1 I disagree SHe should have put him up for adoption she abandoned him!
Awesome and wonderful to hear of the mother who knew for whatever reason she couldn't or didn't want to mother her child, so instead of killing him or throwing him in a trash dump, she gave him life twice. Thank God for the fire department and the family adopted him♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
What a WONDERFUL family the Tyler family is for taking Samuel into their home! Thank you for sharing this story! ❤
Thank God for this family that accept this child,give him a home blessing ❤️🇬🇾
What a beautiful little child. Beautiful family. God bless them. ❤
He seems so happy, thank y'all
The dad really loves this boy. Their matching outfits, the way he is holding him in a loving and protective way 😢❤!! The boy is lucky!
Hammy Sammy! How cute. This sweet family is a result of loving mothers who wishes the best for their sons. Blessings to this family and all family who share in the gracious deed of being parents for those inmost need.
Thanks for highlighting this story. The bio mom is my hero. I read too many stories about mothers throwing their babies in the trash. She was brave and did the right thing.
This is so beautiful and what a beautiful family.
May God bless this entire family beyond their expectations.
Thank God for people like these, I love them.
God bless every humans that adopts children❤
This story made me cry. Such beautiful family❤❤
God bless you more for giving a home to these boys.
Hes so cute.
the topic of toddlers being a handful came up when Samuel kept trying to jump off his dad's lap and his dad said, 'yes, he's a perfect little boy' ❤❤❤
A beautiful family. I hope to do follow their example and give kids in need a home
These parents are God sent🇵🇦
This really warmed my heart ♥ I love hearing stories like these.. I feel the world is blessed with people like this couple! 🙏
Big bro had a moment of irritation.
Respect to the birth momma. Hope she’s doing ok.
Such a heartwarming story! God bless that family! 🫶🏻🥹
These adoptive parents are beautiful souls.
God bless this beautiful family!
Beautiful story, God bless this family 💗🙏. Amen!
The older brother does not seem like he like the baby at all. Very interesting dynamic for sure…
Blessings to this family.
God Bless this Precious Baby and his new Family 🙏👍❤️
Such a wonderful blessing! May the good Lord continue to provide for this beautiful family abundantly! Blessings to you all! Samuel is such an adorable boy and so are his brothers! 🙏🏾 💗

That little baby is so stinky cute 😍 and i love how when he stuck his hand out big brother touch it. Good job mom and dad
This is a very beautiful story thank God for people like this❤
Nice to see love on display

Omg he is adorable!!!! So glad he found a forever family!
God is so Good!
God bless this family ❤❤
I think it’s beautiful when adoptive parents share with birth parents information and photos and updates.
When it comes time to meet his birth mother he won’t have to search for decades and possibly never know her. I hope to see the reunion video in 20 years I know I’ll remember this
So adorable it is so nice for these boys
Thank God!
The Lord Jesus has truly blessed your family to become parents to others no matter who they are, thank you for your kindness and love.

❤❤❤ this is very adorable. I’m very happy for this child ❤️❤️❤️
Now that’s love! Mommy and adoptive parents ❤❤
God Bless you all!
May God bless this family❤
Beautiful story, god bless you all❤❤❤❤
Both the bio mom and the forever parents are equally selfless people. The bio mom did the right thing by surrendering Samuel in the proper way and the forever parents are giving him the best life he can have.
Beautiful 😍 People Who Love and Adopt Children Welcome Them To A Safe Loving Family Are Amazing Good Job 👏🏾👏👏🏻 ✨💥💫 GOD BLESS 🙏🏽🙏🙏🏻
It has to be the most courageous thing to do to give up your newborn child BECAUSE you love them so much but his birth mom did it so he could have a better life than she could provide for him. That is love.
I pray for her healing and also for this beautiful family who waited for another little one to adopt.
Wishing you all the blessings you definitely deserve. 🙏🏻💙
God bless you immensely!!
Bless them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! May God bless you and keep you. ❤
