    I think Witney and John should have a continuous Amazon wish list for the entire family that way we can continue to help with anything else they may need for foster kiddos as well as for their own children and themselves it’s nice to help if we can like if anybody else agrees x

    I have always wondered...when siblings are split between multiple foster homes, are there ever any issues of envy/jealousy or guilt when one sibling is in a home that goes above and beyond for the child in their care and another sibling may be in a less desirable foster home?

    • @BeTheVillageCommunity
      @BeTheVillageCommunity  4 года назад +46

      To be honest, I’m sure there is. It’s probably something we aren’t doing a good job balancing.

    • @chewie5013
      @chewie5013 4 года назад +36

      it definitely can be an issue. sometimes you can be happy for your siblings when they get good things, but that’s typically if you’re an older sibling. younger siblings tend to feel more of the jealousy. that’s been mine/some of my friends experience at least .

      Be The Village I think you guys are doing a great job at making Ms. A feel part of the family! All you guys can do is continue to love Ms. A and continue to be great at what you can control.💜 Always try to think of the Serenity Prayer "God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change,
      The courage to change the things that I can,
      and the wisdom to know the difference." Keep up the great work and don't feel too bad, you're doing great!

    Im so glad she is celebrating her Quince. I remember doing my daughters 7 years ago. It surely was beautiful. I cried when my husband changed her flat shoes with high heels. Then they danced together. I lost it. I was crying because my baby girl became a young lady at that moment. It was expensive, but it only happens once. I had mine many moons ago and it was cheaper. Im glad and thankful to everyone here who are so kind to able to help out. Miss A is going to have the time of her life. By the way I adopted my daughter when she was born. You guys a surely great foster parents and family. God bless you all. ❤️🙏🏼😉💃🏽

    I just had a thought while watching Miss A try to keep her face off of the screen- (I struggle with that, too, filming my videos-just for privacy reasons). Not sure about what the legal restrictions are for you with Miss A, but maybe sometimes something like a fancy dress/Mardi Gras mask would make it easier on her and you editing if it would cover enough and be comfortable.

    Being autistic, sometimes I don't realize when I overwhelm my brain. Today I went and deleted every RUclips channel that doesn't make me feel like opening up and watching the new videos immediately. You obviously made the group of people that touch my heart and get me excited to watch your vlogs. ( I loved everyone but with RUclips and their new way of doing things, they were not suggesting my favorites and only vlogs that were years old. I will search the ones I want to watch now but not daily) anyways, This vlog made my heart so happy to see Miss A so very loved by so many people and yet I didn't forget why she is in this place in her life to be spoiled by strangers. So I am feeling bitter sweet for Sweet Miss A. Happy late birthday 🎂 sweet girl. I hope year 15 is everything it can be for you. xoxoxoxo

    Did I hear her birthday is February 20?! Mine too! I’ll be 28 though 😂 I hope Miss A has the most amazing party and an even better Birthday Week!! Keep doing amazing things, Whitney and John 💕

      It actually isn’t but a few people thought she said that 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Miss A may have caught herself and made up a date when she went to say her birthdate but remembered she’s recorded 🙂 she did hesitate a little bit while she was saying February.
