I just cried 14 minutes straight watching this. God is good!
me too
you dont actually believe theres a god do you? like seriously.
theres a big flaw in that logic unfortunately. that being - no proof.
plus, youre left with the question - who created god? you cant just assume the answer before you ask the question. thats just a cop out. which is what religion is - a cop out.
Samantha Edwards thats fantastic, and of course , you have proof of this? ..once again simply stating that god exists isnt an argument. youre a child.
No samantha guys like that think we may be from aliens or something outrageous. many people like to live in a way that makes it easier NOT to believe in God to continue sinning, or when selfish desires are unanswered, or when tragedy hits our lives. Some people view God as a man floating around on a cloud, ok fine! How about the reality that there is an energy that truly exists in every living thing. The same energy that holds our cells together and that flows through music we create - every star in the universe has a system they follow. The same energy in life that enables insects, plants and animals to grow, and look at how amazing water is! Who else will think of a way to transport millions of gallons of water around the world by creating a big white fluffy cloud - water the source of life and fertility and yet in a moments notice become the most deadly force of nature - all at the time...? Call it whatever you want, its real. People are entitled to believe whatever they want, but to tell others there is no proof... they are foolish to say there is not a God!! ignore them. they are not to be trusted.
"You have been planned for for a long time. Before you were even conceived we knew your name." Def sounds like God.
My name is Chloe and I was adopted....I can't thank my parents birth and adopted. They mean so much to me even though I never got to meet my birth mother or father. They made a decision that changed my life for the better. This movie touched me so much.😂😂😂
I don't think this is a movie its a testimony reality
I can't stop crying. I placed a my baby for adoption 13 years ago and I got saved shortly afterwards. I know that the Holy Spirit was guiding me throughout the whole process. This story is so encouraging and beautiful. He truly knows what he is doing when he chooses our parents. I need to rest in that when I feel that hole in my heart... and realize that my sons parents were chosen by Him.
I really needed to see this.
Please keep my wife and I in prayer. We've been married for almost 9 years and have always struggle with infertility. In fact, we've had 5 failed IVF procedures and it seems like it will never happen for us. Adoption is so expensive, please pray for us. It feels like God has forgotten us but in my heart I still know he's still able.
I'm sure someone has mentioned this along the way, but adoption out of foster care is often free or very low cost. Many foster kids in the US would love to have a forever home with you!
Warren Smith i known its been a long, tiring journey but keep on believing bro. be strong. im sure God is still planning your new chapter life. we are here for u and your wife. all the love from manila.
Tell everyone you know, look into all options, all organizations, churches. or, fost-adopt. Praying for you, I suffered from infertility and failed adoptions, miraculously conceived. Pray for me, it is now a difficult relationship with her.
Is that what god has called you to do?
Dear Waren, ask for the intercession of Saint Charbel. He has already accomplished so many miracles in Jesus's name to people who struggle with infertility. God bless you! You are in my prayers!
i am muslim before seeing this video my prespective for christans was like that they don't love god and they just take god as only creator but now i my prespective about christans has changed and i think now that christans also give god a highest place in their live they believe in fate which is infront of god but we can't see ...
faiqa urooj GOD bless you
Yeah, it is crazy to see God's plans come into action, especially through mere humans. And all the more crazy God would pay the penalty for our wrongdoing on the cross, to bring us in right standing with Him!
@Being Adopted Sucks people will always fail us, but the Lord does care for us all. I feel you've had a fair bit of hard times, but don't let that stop you accepting the Lord. He cares enough to save us through His son.
@Being Adopted Sucks John 10:14-18 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me- 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father-and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
@Being Adopted Sucks Unfortunately your right about people. They are selfish and greedy, and will find ways to do evil despite good ideas. Adoption can be the only way a child will survive, and needs be have birth parent consent. Which is how in Australia, where I live, things work. It takes between 3-5 years for an adoption, lots of interviews, paperwork and case workers to determine the best possible outcome for the child.
In some cases, like I imagine your point of view arises from are not good, and other countries I'm sure are very lax about this, and that's not right.
As a Christian, I've been adopted by God, into his family. I was headed my own path which led to Hell and sure separation from God, but Jesus, Gods' Son, willingly stepped in to take my place, Luke 22:42
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."
He knew Gods' will was the best for us, and also for Gods' Glory.
That's the adoption we all NEED, I am now Gods son, He can legally be in relationship with me as the price has been paid.
Jesus came from God, is God,and saves humanity.
Jesus is the only ultimate answer for humanity.
Thank you Walt and Annie. Your story blessed and inspired me. This is a story for anyone who has every heard
God speak a promise into their heart....and are waiting for their miracle. Don't give up! don't loose faith..If
God said it---it will come to pass.
I can’t even count how many times I’ve watched this beautiful story. It makes me cry every time. Chloe is by far one of the most beautiful little one I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for sharing your story. Your family is beautiful.
I almost crying watching the video. The part when annie said "He loves me" make me realised i'm just another foolish. Thank you, annie :)
Wow!! What a testimony!! God is good!!!
My heart can't take this! God YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
wow, such a heart touching video. Those couples who have always dreamt of their own children cannot be too much disappointed anymore. Adopting a child is well and good but having your own baby is exceptional. Surrogacy treatment provides us such facility. Thanks to science and modern technology.
AMEN is all I can say. God is great
How amazing and powerful is our everliving GOD! I felt his Love and reassurance! He truly deserves all the Glory! Thank you Jesus ❤
Awwwwwwh 😭☺️😍
GOD is GOOD all the time our THOUGHTS are not his THOUGHTS!!!
I’m so deeply touched by your story and I’m so so happy that you found your Chloe.
I pray that everyone who is praying so hard and are in search of their “Chloe”, finds one really soon! Ameen.
I'm 6 months pregnant and watching this...wow...can't believe how lucky I am having the ability getting pregnant. I'm so thankful for this wonderful gift.
It's Walt: I'll try and clarify the “band aid baby” reference. I believed that God had promised me Chloe. At that time, I was very concerned that somehow adoption was me trying to “make things happen” on my own and not having faith and waiting for God's promise. For some reason, I didn't have it on my radar that God would bring Chloe through adoption. It's silly, I know. But it just wasn't on my radar.
It wasn't that I learned from my experience that children in need of families were not “band aid babies”, it was the discovery that this adoption method that I thought was me “going out on my own”, was actually exactly what God had planned for our family. Once God revealed the name through the birthmother that day, I knew that it was God's will and I could completely be excited about it. And I WAS! I've never thought that babies that needed to be adopted were band aid babies and not of value. I strongly believe that everyone on this earth regardless of how they came into the world, are made in the image of God, loved by God, and are priceless in His eyes. And that's how we should view it as well.
What is the name of the Organization that made the arrangements Walt? Thank you so much!
You guys documented your lives so well.
I knew what you meant when you said it in the video. You are such an inspiration and your beautiful family as well. A true testimony of faith.
Thanks, Walt for being such an example. We have all said things (and sometimes we have done dumb things) in thinking about "dead works" (things done in our strength and effort and not God's). My wife and I loved the transparency you and your wife presented. This testimony is a huge example of when we feel that God has not heard our prayers - He just might have something bigger in mind.
I've watched this video so many times over the years it demands and reminds me of God's grace and mercy
I’ve watched this so many times and each time, I cry tears of joy.
I know God has a plan for everyone, therefore I believe that I too shall be gifted this beautiful gift that motherhood is in his timing. I’m turning 26 next month and I really want one of my own now, but I know God has a plan. God bless these two and baby Chloe. 💕
What a beautiful journey for this beautiful family! Praise God.
What a beautiful story of God's love.
SO BEAUTIFUL! God is truly great
My two cousins are adopted from China and Vietnam and my best friend has three, (soon to be, hopefully, God willing, four! domestically adopted little ones that she adopted from foster care!!!!) I love adoption videos!!!!! Plus there is a good chance that for medical reasons I will adopt someday. I totally believe that families are not always made by blood, but are ALWAYS made by love! (Yeah okay that was a little cheesey hahaha)
He works all things for good. She is a perfect little miracle. Gives me such hope of God's goodness among our heartbreak. So very happy for you all.
When God give us an answer we need to trust in him. I nevered been so moved by a story thanks for this video myself and hubby are on a journey to adopot.
So glad to hear you were moved by God's great love and His work! That's awesome to hear that you and your husband are headed towards adoption, too! Praying you understand and know God's faithfulness in new ways along the journey.
God has blessed you two with Chloe, your sweet little girl!!!🦋
Astonishing! M crying this time! The best story I 've ever heard!!!! No doubt God is dependable. Hez wonderful!! His designs and contemplations for us are vastly different from our plans. God works in ways we can't see. Ur story fortified my confidence. God favours you and your family considerably more! Peace.
Chloe is one of the absolute most beautiful babies I've ever seen! God bless!
God is beautiful, his love ❤️ never fails..!!
Omg throughout the whole video I had no idea the little girl he was visioning would actually be her in the end! I thought it was just a random little girl to show he would have visions when he was younger. So cute!!
I don't know how many times I have watched this video, but it's been many. Everytime I hear your story and see how great our God is through you, it makes me tear up. I am just so happy for you and happy that He cares SO much, it's the most incredible thing ever
Sometimes we have to remember that JEHOVÁ, GOD has better plan for us that we do for ourselves.
We might not understand why he does things sometimes a certain way but he's never wrong.
This really spoke to me. I'm so glad that I found this. My husband and I have been trying for 2 1/2 years and last night I had a dream that we adopted 3 children. A 5 yr old girl, a 3 yr old girl, and a 3 month old boy. I'm not sure when it will happen but I'm clinging to that.
Wow God works in mysterious ways! Praise the Lord!
Thank you for saving my life with this today. We have struggled for 15 years, the last 2 with waiting for adoption. It has been beyond difficult. I watched this on my YouVersion Bible app, not knowing the subject of the film at all. I cried so hard and told God "Thank you."
I'm glad that God used our story to encourage you. I'm sorry that it's been such a. struggle for you guys. Infertility is very difficult. I pray the wait brings you closer in your faith and that God gives you faith and peace through it. I pray that God will expand your family soon. Take care, Walt
Melissa! Do you have an update? ❤
@@barbeeska no adoption yet. The pandemic has really slowed down adoptions.
@@melissabower9055 Just said a prayer for you and your partner. The wait can be brutal, but the desire is planted by God and I know He has a plan for you and your family. I pray that God will speak a word of hope and discernment to you, and I pray that God will expand your family in this season. I pray that it is crystal clear, when you get news of your child, that God had him/her picked out for you all along. Please let us know when this comes to pass, I am full of hope for you and am praising God for the joy and love that will come your way through this child.
My husband and I are going through infertility right now. it's been about a year that we started trying but we want to be parents more than anything. We know guy has a plan as well as a promise. We just have to wait on his timing and not ours. 😍
😍 GOD IS GOOD!
Thank you for telling your story! I was adopted. When my adopted parents told the social worker that they wanted to name me Christina Elizabeth she walked out of the room. She came back in and told my parents that my birth mother had given me the name Christina Marie so she recommended they change it so they did. I believe I was meant to be Christina.
Amazing the Lord is !!! He never fails. Glory.
I've wanted children since I can remember. I'm only 19 now but I can't wait until I get to have kids. I'm always holding babies, thinking about baby names, and hoping for the day I can have my own. I have thought about adoption but never seriously considered it. I don't know if that is God's will for me to adopt but I am now very open and willing to if that is what He has planned. I'm so happy for and inspired by you and your story. Chloe is beautiful and your family is truly blessed!
God is good! May he bless your beautiful family always..
Awesome story! We suffered through infertility, too. But now we have 4 children. The amazing stories God weaves together to create a family is amazing!
God is truly and AMAZING thing!! 💕🙏🏻
God is So good. This is making me cry tears of Joy!!! Thank You Jesus!!! Also, I heard that they are from Arkansas, I probably live pretty close to where they are from, that's so cool!!! My parents have about 150 acres... This video has also encouraged me to get outside and enjoy God's creation more. I need to do that.
Wrong Sarah. Jesus was and is more than a messenger. He is fully God and fully man. Jesus was and is our SAVIOR! He died for our sins. He came to establish a new covenant. He was our perfect sacrifice. He IS the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega. He says so in His Word. Without Jesus, we couldn't get closer to God. So actually, both are excellent.

Your story gives me hope. I've been sick all my life. But it's been bad since 1998. God promised me that he would finish what he started. It is discouraging to continue to keep the faith. I've actually thought that he doesn't care. But I know I must trust his promise. Thanks for sharing your story of hope.
+Christy Morgan He does care and He loves you so much. I don't know why that you are having to go through this sickness but I pray that He gives you strength, peace, and faith through it.
Hello Christy, I just want you to know that you're not alone in being sick for many years, waiting for your miracle. I've been laid up since 2009, and have struggled at times with keeping the faith but I know without any doubt that God loves me and is working in my life, even when I don't feel worthy. He doesn't judge me nor does his undying love forsake me. God has worked so many miracles in my life that to ignore that would be ignorant and purposeless. So I hang in there and I remind myself that " there's always, always,always something to be grateful for. God bless 🙏🏼😇❤️
This video has been a wonderful boost to my faith. My husband and I have struggled for the past 5 years with infertility. We have been trying to adopt for the past 3.5 years with no luck. We are currently matched with a potential birth mom due in 3 weeks. Keeping that faith going has been difficult. Thank you.
This reminds me of our story. I was married to someone else and I knew that marriage was ending. I was walking through the snow one day, upset at God that I would never have the little girl I had named, and instead God gave me this new name... at first I didn't even like the name, but over the years, as i went through divorce and became single, the name has given me hope for my future. Seven years later I met my husband, Chris. We've been married for 2 years now and are going through infertility treatments. We'll try again in September (God willing!) but if that doesn't work we do plan to adopt. Our little girl, Ruby Grace, is still waiting for her mum and dad. :)
wow!! what a beautiful story!! God Bless You!!!
That is so good. Good for you. God does have a plan for all. You just have to wait and let it reveal. Remember us in your prayers too. Bless you all. Good luck with your lives.
I can't stop watching this video is just amazing what God can do❤️❤️❤️
This was such an emotional video. I loved every part of it. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. All the family videos were so amazing. God really is great. He made wondrous things happen for me. I will always be thankful to him.
I needed this today. My husband I are also going on almost 4 years of marriage and continue to struggle with infertility. This film was what filled me with Gods presence and love this morning when all I felt was emptiness. God bless you and your story.
Walt and Annie, bundles of good wishes for you. You are undoubtedly the lucky ones. The blessings of God come to those who believe in Him. You waited for the miracle for so long. Your patience and prayers gave you this little angel. Your life has a lesson for all those who have lost hope. You are blessed because you were committed and dedicated. You knew that only your hope can render the best.
I went to church with a lovely couple who had struggled with problem pregnancies. They had an adorable little boy, but all their babies after that did not survive the first trimester. They traveled to Honduras to see about adopting, but the doors were slammed shut. They were sad, and wept while they showed us a video of their trip. I think it was about two months later that they found out they were going to be having a baby. I guess she conceived on that trip. It was amazing. A couple of years later, they had another daughter. They felt pain and fear, but through all that, I remember their FAITH. I wish I could give you a more vivid picture of what it was like to know that family. They were/are beautiful.
God is so amazing !
I saw somebody commenting that they were selfish for this pursue of their own baby, but the pain of infertility is so deep. Beautiful to see Gods love through their path.
I've watched this video so many times!! It is the most amazing story about faith and patience and love, and the love that God has for us. When she says "It's like God was saying see, I've been here the whole time", it gives me goose bumps. Life happens and sometimes we forget that God is right here, sitting right next to us!! Such a beautiful family!!
Such an amazing story! It just goes to prove that absolutely NOTHING happens in God's world by accident! An incredible testimony. ❤
Amazing!!!! M crying all this time!!! The best story I ve ever heard!!!! Yeah God is faithful..... Hez awesome!! His plans and thoughts for us are much different from our plans.... God works in ways we cannot see....!! Ur story strengthened my faith....!!! God bless you and your family even more!!!!! Peace! ❤
Thanks for watching. God is good! I'm so glad that you were encouraged and that it strengthened your faith.
I am so proud of you both and your faith your story was so uplifting . I lost my son last year he was 39 and such a warm kind person , I didn't know why god had done this to me but listening to you made me feel so much better and you made me believe, s
Beautiful story! Saw this on fb and searched for it! God is the real time walker. I talk to the Lord, and yes he tells me things. And showed me things since I was a little girl. He is good and he loves us.
I cried as I watched throughout. I felt the presence of God throughout your testimony. Very powerful testimony guys. Your daughter Chloe is gorgeous.
I'm glad that you were encouraged by it. :)
Absolutely amazing!!!!!🙌🙌. This was so similar to what we went through. I understand the pain and completely relying on God. The waiting.......ugh but God had a perfect plan. What an amazing story of God’s love and His plan. Love it!❤️❤️❤️
Saw this posted on facebook and it was captioned "when dad notices THIS about her face, he's stunned" I seemed to miss that part in the video. Congratulations to the couple by the way. But I just can't help ask God why so many women out there who abuse or do worse to their children, why they are able to have them in the first place instead of the ones who really want and deserve children. I have a family member going through fertility struggles and my heart breaks for her.
exactly! the reason is this:
there is no god.
and there are thousands of other reasons just like it.
This is such a beautiful story. Literally, I started crying after seeing it. No doubt, God is great. This video proves the power of hope and love. Many ladies who lose their hope will again became motivated. Your husband loves you a lot. May God bless your family like this always.
Hallelujah, Be blessed in the name of Jesus
Such a wonderful video. Infertility is an awful moment. Love to see your courage that you have to share your journey. My husband and i were going through the same trauma. We opted surrogacy and feel we are lucky like many around us. Well apart from my fortune your story is amazing and everything happens for reason. God bless you and your family.
Thank you~! I've cried so much, during all the video. thank you for giving me strength when I'm down. my path is so long, cancer,miscarriage, lost of unborn child, I'm still waiting for my moment in life but I'm happy to be alive. Thank you~! I will continue praying
wow THIS is so so amazing...people like u help restore faith in God and His goodness..Hope ur family always stay happy and tears of love keep on flowing which erase all the sadness ..I wish to love God like urself till my last breath...lots of love and peace
No matter how many times I’ve watched this video, I still cry every time. It’s such a lovely story ❤️
This is truly an amazing story , the Lord has most definitely blessed you both in such an amazing way. He had your lives all planned out for the both of you and that is so inspirational. thank you for sharing your story for all to see and inspire us all in so many different ways . thank you and may the Lord continue to bless you and your beautiful family .
What an amazingly wonderful story of Gods goodness and faithfulness.....It made me cry too.
Such a beautiful story! Glory be to God!
So powerful! I'm so crying right now, while waiting for the same miracle to happen to us. Your story gives me hope........HE loves me!
I cherished this video to such an extent. It extremely addressed a portion of similar sentiments I have had through the troublesome years of sitting tight for a kid. Much obliged to you for sharing!
This is one of the best stories of adoption. The birth mother is a wonderful woman and I hope she got the life she deserved and is happy. I wish you nothing but the best for your family.💖💖💖
God Bless you both, what a beautiful story..............Not just of Chloe but both of your love for each other and staying with each other through thick and thin, I know that couldnt have been easy on either of you. Your story is just so inspiring..............I dont believe in coincidences either, all things happen for a reason. God bless you all. Give Chloe kisses for me :)
Cryed my eyes out God is so good it gives me hope
What a beautiful thing our lord has done for this amazing family. I bless that they keep getting praised by the lord.
I love this story every time I've watch I've cry 😭
Incredible testimony of God's love, faithfulness & power. It touched me deeply.Glory to our Lord Yeshua Ha Mashiach!
Such a beautiful story, why am I crying 😢😢😢
This is so beautiful! thanks for sharing. Our God is an awesome God! Blessings
This is the most hopeful love story I've ever seen and I'm quite in shock. Since I was 12-13 years I was in a vocational retreat in wich I was having the idea of being preist. This retreat changed mi life because that's when I realized that I was going to be a father. Since that day to now my only desire in the whole world is to have a little girl. I am single right now, I'm hoping to find the right woman to marry with the bless of God. This video has given to me a lot of hope and I will never give up on this beautiful dream. I will be very thankful if someone knows where can I contact Annie and Walt, because their story has really moved me from the botton of my heart and I wish to say thanks to them.
HI, this is Walt. Thanks for your message. I'm so glad that it was encouraging to you. Keep praying for God's heart on this dream to be a father. If it's His will, then it will happen. Blessings, Walt
walt this is elizabeth i want to see if u could reach me as soon 9152518670 ♡♡ thank u god bless
Wow, i cant remember the last time i cried so much. I am going through the same struggle. Thanks for sharing
Awesome story. We too adopted a little girl; the first year of the process was incredibly difficult, but when we finally had a referral file from our agency for us to consider it too was revealed, by the name, that that child was the one we were supposed to wait for. During the two years it took for us to bring a child home we kept one image in our minds to help inspire us & keep us moving forward: we were going to stand on Main Street at our favorite vacation spot with Lemondrop (my nickname for her) in our arms - that dream became a reality last month and the avatar photo on the left of this comment is that one.
She is so beautiful, and very lucky to have you! God bless ♥️
I love how God has clearly worked in your life. How is the birth mother, i am going to pray for her - I guess it was Gods will for her too.
denise roberts She is doing well. We keep up with her on Facebook. She's such a sweet girl.
9:30, not even over yet and I'm already crying my eyes out! So beautiful. Kudos to whoever created this peice of art. Well done.
Oh my!! How AMAZING is HIS story for us! Thank y'all SO much for sharing!!
Amazing, i know excalty how walt felt this us similar to our story, we have a chloe as well through adoption
Greatest Story of all time!!! Thank God for his faithfulness!!
That was amazing and I loved it. Oh how it blessed me!
ooh I absolutely LOVE this ♡♡♡ it's beautiful
This story is SO beautiful! I absolutely love it!!
I am so happy for your family!
Heather Hayes All the Lord!
I love this story. God is so good!
A perfect story, just like only God's stories can be... Bravo! Bravo!
Beautiful story !
We are waiting to our adoption daughter for five years. So long, that I sometimes lose hope..
It is quite amazing what happens when we stop praying for what we want, but for God's Glory to shine through.
He moves in mysterious ways...
