    I’m from the U.K. and was adopted at 6 by Pakistani muslims the first month I remember was hard because I wasn’t used to the food, or hearing different languages around me. They never forced me into religion which I’m not religious now, however now I’m a british White girl who can speak perfect Urdu language and cook the best spicy curries 🤣

    Not sure if you would ever see this but I wanted to share with you my story.
    I was put into foster care as a child. My mama, who raised me was a beautiful black woman. I am now 37. She taught me so much in my time with her. She never treated me different. I learned how to cook, went to church, learned about culture... It was a blessing but most of all I was loved! Later in life I reconnected with my biological sisters and she accepted them right into her heart, called us all her daughters... My kids called her grandma from day one. She passed away last year suddenly of a brain aneurysm and I can say... There will never be another beautiful soul like her.. miss her every single minute!!! Love you Mama Rita rip!!!
    Please know you are a blessing to your babies... And thank you for never being so closed minded like so many others are!

    I don't get it, people are mad when you get an abortion and don't put the kids up for adoption. Then when people do, they complain as to why the parents or mother did that. Then when they finally get adopted people complain about race? My God. The ignorant will remain ignorant of their ignorance.

I come from a huge family and its only me and my son now and i think thats whats bothering me is that i want my family back but everyone has moved on and made lives for themselves. im trying to calculate it up now how im going to raise 17 kids.

      Edith Dlp I can’t imagine people don’t! Like why would anyone raise their children with a massive lie like that? Adults find out they were adopted 50 years ago and it’s heartbreaking. But the thing is she’s making the experience so great for them even though even though I’m positive it has its challenges. It’s really beautiful to see no matter how hard his road was and how hard theirs was up to then, the honesty and love in their interactions overrides all that.

    People need to stop with all the hate comments about her adopting white children. This woman is a hero who adopted two children that needed a home, and she a single mom. It's not about the color of the kids skin, it's about how two beautiful children will now grow up in a wonderful home that loves them for them. People need to stop seeing color of people's skin. It's not about the color, its about the love that people have for one another. This woman is a very amazing person, and a true hero.

They will grow up completely accepted, supported, and loved. Skin color is irrelevant. We are all human beings.

      I know it shouldn’t but sometimes it does to some kids and I think she is very well considerate to have thought about them babies having each other because after looking at stories of adopted kids in trans racial adopted homes, they often express the fact that they didn’t have anyone who look like them in the house which made things a bit difficult. So, I think it is very nice of her to have considered that. When it comes to caring for kids, we have to look at it holistically.

    He is so cute and adorable. I would hug, kiss, and spoil him like crazy. I’m glad that she gave him a home. He’s just so cute.

    God bless this woman. I had a black foster mom and let me tell you that woman was the best woman. I'm Puerto Rican by the way but she was so funny and nice to say that I was white. I used to be like but I'm not white and she'd say you're not black so you're white LOL. I love her and I still remember her to this day

    I don’t know how I stumbled onto this video except maybe that I do love watching adoption videos. But this one...... this one had me bawling. Something about you and that little boy just seems so right. you are him mommy. And that is so beautiful

      My dream is also to adopt a baby girl when im older. My family doesn't understand why i want it in my life. They say "why dont you make them"
      And i would like to be a biological mom one day, but ive always had this admiration for adoptive parents and i think giving a home to a little person who doesnt have a home...that's precious!

      Yes I think of all the kids without a home. Especially all the older kids left behind.

    Did the judge gift him a stuffed animal? That's so cute! I imagine being a judge in family court is a very tough job, but moments like these must be absolutely magical.

    Reading some of the comments makes me mad 😡. This a beautiful baby who had no-where to go to make it about race. Who cares, learn to mind your own business w/ your hateful- self . Love knows no color. What a beautiful family 😍 God’s blessings always and she is such a good Mum❤️

      The Bougie Wine Chick true but not for people to point out her baby’s race and make an issue about it.

      @HoldenItDown  6 лет назад +65

      The Bougie Eine Chick, Just because I share parts of my life with the world, doesn't mean people should be mean. Having an opinion, and being mean/rude is not the same thing. And it's funny when I read mean comments, and then when someone responds to them, and say something mean to them.... They get mad. But that should apply to them too. (They put their comment on RUclips for the public to see so...)

      I love that your family is multiracial...and it’s refreshing to see the opposite of what I normally see. It’s why I clicked the video. The fact that you are doing it without a partner is HUGE. God bless you.

    I shared Holden it down with my best friend yesterday because we was talking about Foster care and how where we live people do it just for the money and kids are treated horrible. Our kids are let down in so many ways. I told her to watch these videos because it gives you inspiration that there is still good people left that do it for love and the right reasons. I honestly don't understand how someone can dislike this other than they have never went through any type of hardship in their own life so they can't possibly understand what an impact she has made on these two kids life.

    This video popped up in my recommended videos. I have no idea why, until I watched. I truly believe God wanted me to watch this video. This beautiful adoption. I have always wanted to adopt. And this video has only made my feeling about adopting one day even stronger. Those babies love you! Thank you for giving them a home! And being their Mama!
