You are absolutely spot on. God's timing is better than our own. You and Joe are giving that young man a home. I am so glad you all were there for him. Much respect for you both and may the Lord continue to bless your family.
@@HomeFreeAlaskaDitto friend! Gods gifts are Always prefect, and He is a God On Prefect timing!!! Glory to Our King, I pray this brings great joy and happiness to both families! And kudos to Kellens Mother, Lord Bless her
Oh Tina! How right you are! We spent the first five years of our marriage dealing with infertility and adoption issues. Finally, in October of 1994 we sat down and prayed and let it all to God. The end of January 1995 we were pregnant! GOD IS GOOD! 😀🙏🏻❤️
What a blessing you and Joe and Parker are giving to this boy and his family. Jesus says whatever you do for one of these you do for me. Carry on God's work, His plan is always best. Love and blessings to you all.
Kellen is a cutie. His mom did a very unselfish thing, knowing she wasn't in a good place to raise him, that is very brave. It is a very brave and unselfish thing you all are doing as well. Kellen is very brave, he's moving so far away from all he's known. God always has a bigger plan, though, and in the end each of you will be blessed beyond measure.
Wow Tina! You are so well spoken! I’ll try to get over and listen to your podcast. I don’t know how to do it, hopefully there’s no special app etc needed.
Welcome Kellen! Praying for a smooth transition for everyone especially Kellen and his mom. I hope the next year is filled with healing, growth , fun and love for you all.
I'm a veteran wife, Being married in the military is one of the hardest jobs. IMO. I'm so glad you are feeling better. We retired to southeast Georgia, from Illinois and beyond. You know. I needed warm. Thank you so much for just being yous. God Bless you all.
Absolutely love the hugs the boys gave to each other. Kellen was so happy to be there. He's going to flourish with you guys. You're both amazing parents and P is just beside himself with having his best friend there with him. I see lots of great things happening this year for your family. God bless you all thank you both for your service.
This was so moving. When you were talking about K’s moms, all I could think about was how you and his mother are two sisters in Christ who are joining together to raise the next generation of Christian warriors. I’m praying K LOVES Alaska and enjoys every bit. Welcome, sweet boy! May you love Alaska!
What a great blessing. God does work in mysterious ways. Kellen, welcome home I can tell Parker and Kellen are really brothers. This is so great and even if Kellen is only there for 1 year this experience he will never forget. You guys are so awesome.
I cried when I saw the boys hug at the airport. I am so happy for you and your extended family. Kellen will go through many emotions but he’ll settle and enjoy all the Amazing opportunities you have to offer him ❤
This is so sweet ❤ Seeing Parker playing with someone in his bedroom is heartwarming. I hope everything works out well. I have a load a British chocolate from Christmas, I’ll send it on to the boys. As I say “there’s a reason and a season” That apartment was part of your story - a chapter in your book. Unfortunately we live in a society where we treat everything and everyone as disposable.
Hi Kellen!!!! What a sweet little boy! I'll say it again, much respect to Kellen's momma for being selfless and putting his needs first. That took a lot of courage and God will certainly bless both her and Kellen for it. And Tina, you are speaking TRUTH! Not one of us is without sin... not one! And whether you know it or not, what you are doing in your channel is a ministry and God is using you in this capacity to help others. Bless you all for that. It's rare to find true honesty in a society that thrives on deceit.
Thank you for sharing and being so raw and real. My husband is so wonderful and I have watched him as he has grown older. This past year, I have felt like he was gone as he had lost hope and was dying in front of my eyes. Jesus reminded me to stand on faith and start speaking what I wanted over my husband. I did and over the series of the past few weeks I have watched him transform. His hope is back, his mind is back, his body is back and he smiles again. God is so good and in my desperation he showed me what to do to help my husband come back to life. Love you guys and thank you again for sharing such an important part of your lives with us.
Tina, by the time I got to the end of the video I was in tears. I wasn’t expecting Kallen to be a black child, I couldn’t imagine how hard that was for his mom to let him come clean across the country to stay with your family. She really trusts as well as thinks a lot about you and your husband. How beautiful it was to see them outside playing in the snow. This year is going to be the best time in that fellas life. Praise God for you all. I can’t wait to see how everyone blossoms from this experience. I pray for you that even when things get tough, or uncertain you know that this is Gods will. Wonderful video!!!!!!! Now, I gotta go find my Kleenex
Thank you Ms. Shelly!❤️❤️ We’re all God’s children. We are so excited to have Kellen in our family, even if only for a while. Thank you for watching & sharing in our joy!☺️
I just wanna say what a blessing you guys are. Kellen is in great hands. Seems like a great kid. Hope he gets adjusted very well. I’ll keep you guys in my prayers
It took me some time to write this comment. I cried and prayed for your family and Kellens family and thank God for wonderful people like you all!This was a very touching and beautiful video! God bless !
I am a foster parent. I have watched children grieve for their families for years. I have been blessed to adopt 3 of my numerous children who have come through my home. God put these children in my path for more reasons than I can count, and for that, I'm eternally grateful. GOD bless you both for taking in Kellem. In your hands, even 1 year will change all of you with memories and blessings that will last through eternity.
My prayers for Kellen that this transition will get easier everyday. He seems to be having a great time and adjusting well. What a perfect place to be! Have a great week, stay warm and safe!!
Joe and Tina....you are such an inspiration to me and I'm positive...so many more. Parker and Kellen are so fortunate to have you both in their lives. God's plan never fails 🙌
The selfless act of love you have given this baby boy is wonderful 💙. I can't imagine the emotional roller coaster you are on right now yourself. We are praying as a family for you all. ❤
What a great video! How God has changed ALL of your lives and in HIS time! Loved seeing how happy the boys are. Thank you for sitting down and talking about your thoughts and feelings on Kellen's upcoming year with your family and how it doesn't pay to plan too much because God's Plan is the only one that matters!!!
That was a heart felt hug between Parker and Kellen! Welcome, Kellen, to a wonderful family! You and Parker are going to have a lot of fun. Listen to Tina and Joe. They are good people with a lot of love in their hearts. Thank you Tina, Joe and Parker. You are very much loved and Kellen too! God bless you all!!!
OMG.........Parker we already had this conversation....... Lordy Kellen is going to be in shape after this alaskan experience!!! God bless your souls for the love youve shown!! Thank you!!
Yes, The Lord has a beautiful plan for each of us. We just need to trust him. 😊 So glad y'all did that because you are a very precious couple & family.
I always love that song, Thank God for unanswered prayers. Always makes me cry as it's so true. Opening your hearts and home for this little man will change his life in so many great ways. Children are so precious and we can be mothers to many more than just our own. Such a great thing you and Joe and Parker are doing. Sending hugs and prayers for Kellan and all he's going through. ❤️
Thank you Tammy for your testimony about Jesus Christ and just being yourself on this channel. Thank you also for having Parker's friend Kellen coming out to enjoy the wonders of the Alaskan life with you all. God bless you all
Always remember and have faith that God can see around corners that we cannot. Gods timing is always perfect. God bless you all and God bless Kellen's Family.
Tina, you are the real deal. And after everything that you do, you give God all the glory! Honestly, I just love you! There’s a special place in heaven reserved just for you. God bless you and yours.
WOW! Kellen is the perfect addition to the family. What a blessing and always in God's time. You are doing more than just making entertaining RUclips content. You are sharing stories that change lives. I'm a better mother and wife since I found you channel. It's hard to put in to words how inspired I am by you and your family. God's blessing for all the wonderful memories you guys are making. Kellen and Parkers little faces tell a story that cant be put into words
Tina, I believe Kellen was brought into your lives to give him a good foundation for life. Later on in life, he will look back at this time in his life with gratitude and smile.
You know, I truly listen to you when you talk to God, I haven't and probably still don't listen enough to him and that's my struggle but thank you for every time you talk about God, im so excited for ya'll to have Kellen he's a special little boy! 💗
Welcome to the homestead Kellen!!! The expression on his precious face when he ran to hug Parker❤️❤️❤️❤️. Preach it girl. You’re foundation in God is solid and only you and Joe need to answer to Him. But please be careful lifting things with your neck issues. Inhad a injury over 20 years ago and after years of chiropractic visits and physical therapy ended up having surgery and a cervical fusion on the 14. After years of issues yes the surgery was much needed. Not saying you’re ever going to need it but just praying for covering when you have to to the heavy chores on your homestead. Gif bless your reunion and the year to come with the amazing Kellen
I am watching all the way from St. Vincent and the Grenadines and this episode made me cry tears. Such a lovely family. Your son is soo cute and you are wonderful parents. Happy to see you Kalen
My husband and I always say everything happens for a reason. We don't have the viewpoint like God does, we just need to listen to God when he speaks to us. Many blessing for you and your family. 🙏
Kellen is so cute! So happy he will have a stable lifestyle. Hopefully longer than a year! We are hugging him with prayers to adjust easily with you guys!
You are a blessing to me. Thank you for opening up your heart and talk about God’s timing for life situations. You and Joe and Parker have opened up your home to a young boy who needs a good stable and safe home. I grew up in foster homes with some not so good but God had a plan for me to finally be adopted in a loving Christian home. Thank you for your channel and I will definitely check out your podcast. 💖🙏❤️💕😊
You guys have such big hearts 😍x The boys little faces when they met each other was just priceless, ♥️x Well done, guys. Another wonderful, heartwarming video, 😍♥️x
Been thinking and praying for you since learning about Kellen and knowing that changes are a happening for you as a family. Christ will lead and guide as you have shared. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. Blessings. Xx
Y'all just amaze me as a family & being so real. My heart breaks for Kallens mom but it also melts cuz shes doing what she thinks is best for him. This is what good moms do. Puts their kids well being before their own. God bless her heart & God bless y'all for taking him in. & Cindy Loo you look all cute grown up. Lol! Joe in them shorts freezes me to death. Brrrrr. & I could watch y'alls dogs play all day. ❤
Great of your testimony to let people know that your life was not perfect, and everyone home is not great but thank you Tina for letting us know about your struggles , all mother's want better for their children . God Bless you both and praying for GOD to show you the way. Thank you LORD
We witnessed the pure love for a valued and respected friend when Parker and Kellen hugged at the airport. I loved watching Kellen play in the snow with Parker. He found out quickly that this snow stuff takes work to play in! Kellen sure seems like a sweetheart. I pray all goes well for everyone. Sending love and prayers from Florida 💕🙏☀️😘
I just can’t put into words how much I love this video. Gods love and mercy for us is astonishing. His plan is ALWAYS better than our plan. It sure is nice when His plan coincides with our plans though. Right?!!!
Gosh I was in tears! What an experience for you all…. I’m sure there will be trials and tribulations but I know you will all be fine…. As you say… “God’s plan” is always the right one xx
i haven't finished watching the video yet, but as I listen to your story of Kellen my screen keeps going blurry. God bless you for taking on this great story, and God bless the Mom for doing the hardest thing on earth that she has probably ever had to do, and regardless of what leads one to make these decisions, hers was obviously the most responsible one a Mom could make for her son, God bless her as he watches over her and leads her to a path that she riotously deserves as in the end, Kellen will have a great future now, be it with your family or his natrual family. Kellens mom will be in our prayers.
It will not matter and does not matter why Callen is there with you. What matters is that his family needed help and you were there to step up. You are giving that child a great adventure.....the adventure of a life time! His mamma and grandma love him and it shows because he is with your family for now. Your helping him and he is helping you. God has plans for all of you! Enjoy it all!
Love seeing the boys together, and I also enjoyed you speaking from your heart about having him and how you feel about his mom and what god has said to your heart and the Love Joe has to let you be you . May God Bless you all as a New Family. Ninette Bird- Tx
Ok, now you had me crying at the end, but with tears of joy. God always opens a door when a window is shut. Or the other way around - lol. I think many of us have gone through trials and tribulations and when we look back, it doesn't seem as significant because of learning to grow with God' guiding hands. Bless you all!
So beautiful! I love to see diverse families and people come together! This is a reflection of Heaven!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Tina, you just keep getting better and better making these videos! May abundant blessings continue to pour down upon your growing household!!! 🥰🥰🥰
@@TheresaPowersAre you kidding? Look at this planet and it's diversity. Obviously, diversity makes this planet thrive! Not only that but diversity adds depth and wonder.
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth.” Acts 17:26 I feel sorry for you Katherine. I’ll keep you in my prayers. I can’t imagine having a heart to feel the way you do about others. Mind your manners here tho-because I don’t tolerate hate on my channel. Period.😉
I just love you guys. You guys are so down to earth, real and unapologetic. Wish there were more people like you. So glad I found you guys. Welcome Kellen.
Congratulations. You now have 2 boys, Parker has a brother, and joe... He still has a never ending job of keeping all the equipment running so he can continue to combat the Alaska elements. And the dogs and the kittens, well they are the real winners. They's got everything and more. 😁
I love, love your honesty and your heart. Yes, we are covered by the blood of Jesus! ❤️ I am so very happy for you and Kellen!!! I hope he enjoys every precious moment your family 🥰
Kellen seems to be such a sweet boy. Praying he adjusts easily to his life with y’all.
What she did for her child was love. She's wants him safe, and to have the best chance at life.
You are absolutely spot on. God's timing is better than our own. You and Joe are giving that young man a home. I am so glad you all were there for him. Much respect for you both and may the Lord continue to bless your family.
Thanks Linda! We’re so happy to be able to bless him & his family this way…and he is truly such a blessing for our family!❤️
Well said my friend. God works on his time not ours.

So glad Kellen made it. The greeting was so sweet. Many happy days to come.
Those Boys are going to have a great time together! Very exciting!
I think so too!❤️❤️
Im glad kellen and his moms trip went well. I admire her so much for allowing him this opportunity. The boys look like they are having a good time!
Wow Tina! You are so well spoken! I’ll try to get over and listen to your podcast. I don’t know how to do it, hopefully there’s no special app etc needed.
Wow! It just occurred to me that kellens grandma and mom can watch him on here! How cool is that! That’s so wonderful!

Y'all just amaze me as a family & being so real. My heart breaks for Kallens mom but it also melts cuz shes doing what she thinks is best for him. This is what good moms do. Puts their kids well being before their own. God bless her heart & God bless y'all for taking him in. & Cindy Loo you look all cute grown up. Lol! Joe in them shorts freezes me to death. Brrrrr. & I could watch y'alls dogs play all day. ❤
Great of your testimony to let people know that your life was not perfect, and everyone home is not great but thank you Tina for letting us know about your struggles , all mother's want better for their children . God Bless you both and praying for GOD to show you the way. Thank you LORD
Such a great environment for the boys. They'll grow up strong and healthy.
Blessed when we wait on the lord, timing , not leaning on are own understanding, beautiful family and blessed 🙏
We witnessed the pure love for a valued and respected friend when Parker and Kellen hugged at the airport. I loved watching Kellen play in the snow with Parker. He found out quickly that this snow stuff takes work to play in! Kellen sure seems like a sweetheart. I pray all goes well for everyone. Sending love and prayers from Florida 💕🙏☀️😘
Thank you Karen! We appreciate it!🥰
I just can’t put into words how much I love this video.
Gods love and mercy for us is astonishing. His plan is ALWAYS better than our plan. It sure is nice when His plan coincides with our plans though. Right?!!!
Wooohooo. I have been waiting for this. So happy for all yall
Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Gosh I was in tears! What an experience for you all…. I’m sure there will be trials and tribulations but I know you will all be fine…. As you say… “God’s plan” is always the right one xx
i haven't finished watching the video yet, but as I listen to your story of Kellen my screen keeps going blurry. God bless you for taking on this great story, and God bless the Mom for doing the hardest thing on earth that she has probably ever had to do, and regardless of what leads one to make these decisions, hers was obviously the most responsible one a Mom could make for her son, God bless her as he watches over her and leads her to a path that she riotously deserves as in the end, Kellen will have a great future now, be it with your family or his natrual family. Kellens mom will be in our prayers.
Its so cold there you can hear the snow crunch when you walk........ and theres Joe and his shorts....... love it.... even if I think its crazy.....
It will not matter and does not matter why Callen is there with you. What matters is that his family needed help and you were there to step up. You are giving that child a great adventure.....the adventure of a life time! His mamma and grandma love him and it shows because he is with your family for now. Your helping him and he is helping you. God has plans for all of you! Enjoy it all!
Love seeing the boys together, and I also enjoyed you speaking from your heart about having him and how you feel about his mom and what god has said to your heart and the Love Joe has to let you be you . May God Bless you all as a New Family. Ninette Bird- Tx
Ok, now you had me crying at the end, but with tears of joy. God always opens a door when a window is shut. Or the other way around - lol. I think many of us have gone through trials and tribulations and when we look back, it doesn't seem as significant because of learning to grow with God' guiding hands. Bless you all!
Love both those little boys and love your thoughts on the mother as well. Go with God my friend.
The reason I like your channel is because you are true. You do not pretend to be who aren't
So happy to see the boys reunion, everything in God's timing❤.
Awwww..I had tears watching you all dancing at the end. So sweet. Sending you all hugs. ❤❤❤❤❤
So beautiful! I love to see diverse families and people come together! This is a reflection of Heaven!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Tina, you just keep getting better and better making these videos! May abundant blessings continue to pour down upon your growing household!!! 🥰🥰🥰
diversity is a weakness in the long run.
@@TheresaPowersAre you kidding? Look at this planet and it's diversity. Obviously, diversity makes this planet thrive! Not only that but diversity adds depth and wonder.

I feel sorry for you Katherine. I’ll keep you in my prayers. I can’t imagine having a heart to feel the way you do about others. Mind your manners here tho-because I don’t tolerate hate on my channel. Period.😉
I just love you guys. You guys are so down to earth, real and unapologetic. Wish there were more people like you. So glad I found you guys. Welcome Kellen.
Congratulations. You now have 2 boys, Parker has a brother, and joe... He still has a never ending job of keeping all the equipment running so he can continue to combat the Alaska elements. And the dogs and the kittens, well they are the real winners. They's got everything and more. 😁
Yeah, lol the animals have it the best ha ha! 😆
@@HomeFreeAlaska I'm not a cat person, but really like those kittens. They look very content and settled in fast with the dogs and all.
I love, love your honesty and your heart. Yes, we are covered by the blood of Jesus! ❤️
I am so very happy for you and Kellen!!! I hope he enjoys every precious moment your family 🥰
