I used to think their little voices saying “Peter!” was the sweetest thing ever, but hearing “papa” melts my heart. I was adopted as a baby and I love my dad so dang much. Thank you for all you do! ❤
I wasn't adopted but like you I had a really special bond with my Dad. I'm the second child (now a 44 year old adult) and since my parents already had my sister they wanted a boy but in those days they didn't test and I was another girl but I was always a Daddies girl. I was also very close to my Mum as well. X
You know the term cultural diversity means absolutely nothing to any kid taken from their home. People eat, sleep, breathe, live and die all over the planet. We, all people need cohesiveness at this time.No more division. Love one another. There is nothing wrong with letting children experience different cultures, but the term is used as a political weapon here. This country has many cultural groups and dividing them, with loaded terminology, has helped to destroy this country. We are all Americans.
I was a foster parent for 24 years and I adopted 7 children they're all grown up and doing well, if I could I would do it again, you are amazing, keep doing what you're doing, I send you and your family many thanks and blessings.
Peter, you inspired me to really be a walker and not a talker. We are officially in the process to foster. Thank you for sharing your journey and may God bless you !!!
Foster care IS A NIGHTMARE🤬⚰️💣⚰️!! BE A FOSTER PARENT FOR THE KIDS NOT THE MONEY! ALSO JUST CUZ THE ASSHOLES WHO STOLE THE CHILD DOESNT MEAN THE PARENTS WERE ACTUALLY NEGLECTFUL... MY DAUGHTER WAS ILLEGALLY KIDNAPPED A WEEK BEFORE HER 8TH BIRTHDAY ON 9-6-2019. SHE TURNED 11 ON 9-15 THIS YR. NOT CUZ I NEGLECTED HER. BUT BECAUSE I HOMESCHOOLED HER AND DROVE TRUCK AND TOOK HER WITH ME TO WORK CUZ ONE I COULD AMD 2 I DONT TRUST PEOPLE. I DIDN'T GIVE HER DRUGS OR SODAS OR MSG OR FAST FOOD... I GOT ALL OUR MILK EGGS AMD MEAT FROM THE FARM. APPARENTLY ILLEGAL AND ALSO DIDNT HAVE TV OR INTERNET ALSO ILLEGAL. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY BRAINWASHED HER AND NOT ALLOWED HER TO BE WITH MY PASTOR OR FRIENDS OR EVEN COME BACK TO ME EVEN THOUGH I DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO LIKE QUIT MY JOBS... THEY HAVE NOT EVEN ALLOWED ME ANY CONTACT... DEATH SEEMS TO BE MY ONLY PEACE AT THIS POINT. THE STATE HAS BROKE MULTIPLE STATE AMD FEDERAL LAWS AND VIOLATED CONSTITUTIONAL AND CIVIL RIGHTS.
I started on oct 2021 the process of foster home and I am already adoption my first foster son to be my forever son. Experience is beautiful but FYI it is hard this kids comes with a lot of trauma and and we need to be prepare to love no matter how their day is., but let me tell you this I WILL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN
I imagine it must have been confusing for Sky and Rudy to learn that they have a biological sister. It's really a wonderful thing that you are keeping the siblings together. And Rocky....so adorable how he calls you Papa.
@@nicolebenson4517our kids’ bio mom has had 6 and counting. I consider it a form of child abuse, as many of them are drug addicted and then removed by the system. That is a double whammy for these children.
Lol. I love it. "Papa can we do this, Papa can we do that, Papa turn the lights on....." oh my goodness, so cute. It's tough but remember if your patience is wearing thin that this is what you prayed for. Lol " I can do all things through Christ which strengheneth me" phil 4:13. And it's so nice that you ARE being so very patient with them when they are all yelling demands. The perfect guy for the job.
He was born to be a Dad and it's beautiful how he achieved this. I was a solo foster Mum and I was also a primary school teacher. Twelve years ago when I was 32 my lifelong specialists gave me two years to live and I'm still here fighting but it was extremely hard to give up teaching and fostering as that was my life purpose. I would love for every child to have an unconditional loving family they deserve. Xx
If you haven't read his book, I would strongly suggest it. (I bought and listened on Audible.) His onscreen behavior gives no indication of the AWFUL life he lived on the streets until eventually someone finally helped him. But years on the streets alone, as a child! I was sorry the book was over because I wanted to know him even better. Just a heads up. Do yourself a favor.
IF THERE WAS MORE MEN IN THE WORLD LIKE THIS LOVING BEAUTIFUL MAN, THE WORLD WORLD BE A BRIGHTER HAPPIER PLACE ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 so much love and respect for this gentleman ❤️
I am so astonished by how you properly care for kids privacy ( I mean on the internet)and keeping them safe at the same time letting them be 'kids'. As a single mom, I can tell these are well habituated acts not at all occasional. Much respect from Japan.
Peter, when I'm a bit older, I want to do what you do. I'm 25 and not really financially ready to foster plus my current apartment would be considered very small for an adult and a child. I would also like to give the kids a garden and more of a peaceful nature home. But one day soon I hope to do the same. In healing their wounds, you are also healing your own.
I got my first placement when I was 30 and I was living in an apartment so I moved to a three bedroom house. You are very smart giving it a bit more time to become financial secure etc. I wish you well in whatever you you choose to do. Xx
I'm glad that you have the heart to take on some little ones who are in need someday. It's good that you are waiting to be more financially stable it will make life easier for all. Just keep working and keep building your life so the lil guys that will come to you will be taken care of like they should. May God bless you and your life's journey. You have a special heart like Peter and the world needs people like yall
I do too. But now I'm on the other end. Unfortunately, fostering in my late 40s, along with some other grief and moving, aged my body and I'm so tired now. I have the house and garden. I just need some energy! I'm praying for strength to finish well.
I have been watching y'all for at least a year or so, but have never commented until now. After watching you interact and give so much comfort and love to these little ones, it just melts my heart. No one really knows just what these beautiful children have went through in their short lives. This world needs more people like Peter. You are such a beautiful soul. You keep doing you and fighting for the safe and loving homes these kiddos desperately need in their lives.
I'm 41 and wishing I could be your foster kid. My birth parents/family were horrible and cruel to me my entire life. Not having a supportive or loving parent. Going through abuse physically, sexually, verbally and mentally was all I knew. People don't understand how hard that is. How much damage it does. The fact that you take these children in and give them everything they need to heal and feel loved is a freaking miracle. You are an angel sent from God. I wish so badly I had met someone as awesome as you. You are literally saving these children's lives. If I had met someone like you, I wouldn't be the messed up freak I am today. I might have had the chance of a normal life. But it's too late for me. I'm so happy seeing you save children from my fate. Thank you for all you do.
@@chasetonga Thank you but aside from being fat and ugly, I'm more of a freak on the inside than anything else. I'm so damaged I can't lead a normal life. I can't work. I couldn't finish school. I can't function in society at all. That's what makes me a freak.
@@sparklypinktrex Hi, Spark. I understand how damaging abuse can be. I’ve gone through and struggled with leading a healthy life, but I’m here to say that it’s possible. You can do all these things, but trauma has, perhaps, limited you into thinking that you can’t. You can function like any other person. Just want to say that you’re not alone and if you don’t mind my adding this, God loves you. You’re precious and important and full of worth.
@@HGsoul4ever Thank you. I really appreciate your kind words. I should have added I'm also autistic which is why I'm limited on some of the things I can and cannot do. The trauma did play a huge part as well though.
Hey…I’m autistic, too. 46…similar experience in life as you and I’m just finally healing in the last year. It’s not too late, though it’s still a privilege to even be able to heal in this existence, this society & if you’re in the US, this backwards, archaic “culture”. But, if you can find a high quality therapist that understands the highest efficacy modalities…there’s actual, real hope that can quickly reveal results. Quickly. Seriously. No more just talk therapy. Things that honestly truly heal at the core. As weird as I might sound, let me know if you would like to have some guidance in what to look for. It can be extremely difficult when we don’t know what to ask or what to look for. But, I swear…there’s time and it no longer has to feel like some sort of concept meant for anybody but us.
We need more patient people like you in the foster care system. It's apparent the children love you and are bonding well with you. God bless you, Peter.
As a mom of 8 and a former foster/adoptive parent I want to say how much joy I get watching your videos !!! You are doing a great job !!! You can tell by the way the kids interact with you ! Mine are all grown and watching your happy chaos makes question how I did I handle that many kids ??? I will tell you that, at 59 , I treasure the memories but boy do I loooove my alone, quiet time now , and enjoying being a Ci Ci . Praying for all good things for you and your family !
Oh my goodness… “I love you Papa!” And “ Can I have a kiss on my forehead”. My heart!!! My dad and my husband both kiss me on my forehead and it’s such a comfort!
I raised 5 children. The way to get past the yuckiness of diapering is two-fold. First, try not to focus on the mess or smell. Just get the job done. Second, it is a perfect time to show love. Look deep into the child's eyes and say I love you with your eyes. Say love phrases and silly, playful things. Don't sneer at the mess or say, "yuck" or "gross" or anything of the kind. You've got this! It can be a wonderful bonding time if you let it be.
O gosh, having a loving father at home & lots of siblings to play & learn from, will be great for her emotional, physical, mental & spiritual growth. She lucked out getting a great family 💕👍👏
I feel ya! Praying for you as well. We had 2 grade school going on JH siblings and we were asked to take the little ones at 49 almost 50 (the cut off was 50). The siblings didn't want anything to do with her. It was very hard as she was coming off meth. We had just got the older ones stable. They ended up caring for her though❤. Then we got another sibling. They didn't want to break them up and most homes are rated for babies, or elementary, or teen. Not all!!! They told us there was no one else. We pushed through but it was HARD. Church family and friemds stepped up to help or we would have collapsed.
I love your spirit and the fact that you took in their sibling! Being taken from their parents is hard enough but to be separated from siblings must be another layer of pain and anxiety! Your life is busy but fun! You can tell that the kids feel safe and loved!
The grin on my face lasted from the beginning to the end of the video. You are such an awesome father, and the children are adorable! Ànd when that child you "Papa" ...that was such an amazing moment!
I just loved that answer, "because, please" so much cuter then when I herd my own daughter say "because, reasons". Made me giggle, my girls are teenagers and older now, and my toddler is speach delayed so I love to hear little ones say the cutest things. And can't wait to hear my son talk so I can hear all those adorable things again. And don't worry about the car, it's the car of a parent for sure.
I realized Peter 😮 how great a listener and communicator yiu are.... Your children feeled cared for, safe and loved. Your thankful, loving tone in your voice clearly is heard by your adorable children.
Hello! First time viewer here! You are amazing! As a former foster carer I totally get the chaos, it's a happy, constructive chaos full of love...I had 6 kids of my own and 2 foster placements too....Mine went in age from 19 yrs down to 12 days old! Now that took some organising lol
Peter if there is anyone living out their purpose in life it is you . I see that halo over your head because you are truly one of God’s chosen Angels. Continue to let God use you for these children .
Peter, you're such a sweet dad❤️ The kids feel so safe with you and loved by you❤️ When they went to bed and they said goodnight daddy🥺🥰 I don't comment very often but i watch all your videos 👍Much love from 🇳🇱 The Netherlands 👋
Bless you for your HUGE heart for children. The memories you've given them are priceless. I wish I lived closer, I'd love to lend a hand and just experience the love in that home!
What can I say Peter? May your strength be replenished..what you are doing for these children only God can repay. May He perfect everything concerning your life.....i now have a special prayer for you..
Much Love to You Peter! When I found myself single with my 10 month old son, I did "family day care' for a some years. All you can do is love them I always say and that you do! You are a beautiful Papa and are making a difference in the world and the lives of all those you care for! I love watching them grow! Stay well and strong! You are a blessing!
I respect you hide your children’s identity. They do deserve privacy and obviously they been through a lot or they wouldn’t be in the foster system in the first place so happy they have a loving home now.
You are an awesome dad! I was in two foster homes when I was 6 and I know that experience is very scary at first n can be tough in some cases. I absolutely love the way you take care of the kids in your care. You are such a blessing to these beautiful children!! Thank you for being such a great father figure for them and future kids in your care.
I’m thinking you’re going to end up adopting these children! I had a three sibling group for three years as a foster parent and the agency told me they were going to put them in an adoptive home. I FREAKED OUT! And I ended up adopting them which was Definitely NOT my original plan! ❤😂❤
Great job Peter.The Lord continue to strengthen you. I advise you feed your little ones to reduce the messyness and that also ensures that they eat adequately too. This is the fact that most of the food is on the floor
Awww I LOVE when they call you papa! But with an accent in the second A. They are so precious and adorable. They are with the best person they could have ever been with! Peter you are amazing. Many more blessings to you. I wish you could adopt them all, wouldn't that be AWESOME?
I’ve always loved to see how you deal with the precious kids. You are amazing!!!!!!!!! I am only a mother of one son who is 33. I cannot imagine 4 at once..😊💖
I commend you so much for helping the siblings Stay Together it is very hard to do that in the system.They usually break them apart unfortunately and that's hard on the kids. it's nice for them to have that support of each other .I was a foster mom for 4 years it was a great Growing Experience for me and such a blessing ❤. Thank you for all you do you're really good dad and person. Your family is beautiful.
Aw..they are so sweet..I'm a retired retired pre-school teacher..I miss it still..💜 they seem so bright and their verbal skills are amazing..I love it..💙
Oh how I long for another child!! God is good! You’re amazing! These kids are so lucky to have you in their lives :) ahhh they’re siblings! You sir are a legend!!
Peter I commend you and your patience. I have 4 kids myself and it is definitely a lot of work. ESPECIALLY with my twins who are 2 (almost 3). My two oldest are 18 and 11 and they help a lot. I'm also married but my husband works a lot so it's mostly me and the kids. I say all that to say that I am in awe of your patience and the smile you keep on your face. You are an inspiration. I will definitely get your book and share your journey with others. Much love to you and your family 😊❤️
Peter I am so proud of you. You are doing a wonderful job with the children's I pray that God will continue to bless you 🙏 in everything you are doing to give them a wonderful life ❤
Wow if this didn’t capture what us parents go through on a daily basis idk what did, lots of work. You’re more patient then most parents though, wishing you many more blessing your way ❤️🙏🏼
I used to think their little voices saying “Peter!” was the sweetest thing ever, but hearing “papa” melts my heart. I was adopted as a baby and I love my dad so dang much. Thank you for all you do! ❤

my mom was adopted at the age of 6 by my grandparents... adoption is close to my family!
The foster system needs more loving parents like you, especially with cultural diversity. You can tell these children truly love you❣️
Its so true. I wish we could be sure that all foster parents were like him
I think you found your calling!😊😊😊

You know the term cultural diversity means absolutely nothing to any kid taken from their home. People eat, sleep, breathe, live and die all over the planet. We, all people need cohesiveness at this time.No more division. Love one another. There is nothing wrong with letting children experience different cultures, but the term is used as a political weapon here. This country has many cultural groups and dividing them, with loaded terminology, has helped to destroy this country. We are all Americans.

My heart melt when Ryder said 'love you Papa' snd also wanted a kiss goodnight.
I raised 5 children. The way to get past the yuckiness of diapering is two-fold. First, try not to focus on the mess or smell. Just get the job done. Second, it is a perfect time to show love. Look deep into the child's eyes and say I love you with your eyes. Say love phrases and silly, playful things. Don't sneer at the mess or say, "yuck" or "gross" or anything of the kind. You've got this! It can be a wonderful bonding time if you let it be.
Enjoy your “me time” whenever you can! Family life can be exhausting.
God Bless you for being a Foster Papa, 🇺🇲❤️
Along with caring for these little ones, take some self care time for you!

God bless you and your family, Peter. Not easy but it seems like you were born to care for your kids. The older kids are so animated and happy. ❤️🇨🇦
Little Belle is so cute and so lucky to be in your family! 🥰
"Love you, papa!" Ohh my heart just melted!!!😍😍😍
Peter if there is anyone living out their purpose in life it is you . I see that halo over your head because you are truly one of God’s chosen Angels. Continue to let God use you for these children .
Peter, you're such a sweet dad❤️
The kids feel so safe with you and loved by you❤️
When they went to bed and they said goodnight daddy🥺🥰
I don't comment very often but i watch all your videos 👍Much love from 🇳🇱 The Netherlands 👋
Bless you for your HUGE heart for children. The memories you've given them are priceless. I wish I lived closer, I'd love to lend a hand and just experience the love in that home!
What can I say Peter? May your strength be replenished..what you are doing for these children only God can repay. May He perfect everything concerning your life.....i now have a special prayer for you..
You can tell what an Amazing job your doing by looking at those little angels and seeing the pure joy on there faces.
Much Love to You Peter! When I found myself single with my 10 month old son, I did "family day care' for a some years. All you can do is love them I always say and that you do! You are a beautiful Papa and are making a difference in the world and the lives of all those you care for! I love watching them grow! Stay well and strong! You are a blessing!
I have 5 right now as a single parent, ages 5,5,5,10 mo, and 3 mo. you are doing awesome,
I respect you so much! I wish there was more people out there like you.
The kids are reading wonderfully
It's a lot of work for one single parent indeed!
you are so awesome! bless you for taking in Foster kids! 🙏🙏🙏
I respect you hide your children’s identity. They do deserve privacy and obviously they been through a lot or they wouldn’t be in the foster system in the first place so happy they have a loving home now.
I hope you can adopt the baby. She’s so cute!❤
You are an awesome dad! I was in two foster homes when I was 6 and I know that experience is very scary at first n can be tough in some cases. I absolutely love the way you take care of the kids in your care. You are such a blessing to these beautiful children!! Thank you for being such a great father figure for them and future kids in your care.
Awww, do they call you “Papa”? That is so sweet!
I’m thinking you’re going to end up adopting these children! I had a three sibling group for three years as a foster parent and the agency told me they were going to put them in an adoptive home. I FREAKED OUT! And I ended up adopting them which was Definitely NOT my original plan! ❤😂❤
Similar here. Blessings!
@cindysmithlucinda6369 you predicted this 10 months ago 🎉
Great job Peter.The Lord continue to strengthen you. I advise you feed your little ones to reduce the messyness and that also ensures that they eat adequately too. This is the fact that most of the food is on the floor
I just want to add my voice to say what a wonderful father you are. The kids clearly feel safe and secure with you. All the very best to you all xx
You Love them & it shows. Good Papa
Awww I LOVE when they call you papa! But with an accent in the second A. They are so precious and adorable. They are with the best person they could have ever been with! Peter you are amazing. Many more blessings to you. I wish you could adopt them all, wouldn't that be AWESOME?
They are so happy together ! Congratulations !
New subscriber because I love what you’re doing! I fully support fostering!
Because please!! Took me out😂😂 Peter you are doing a very good job. So thankful for you ❤️❤️❤️
You radiate love and light Peter. You are such a blessing. 💜
I’ve always loved to see how you deal with the precious kids. You are amazing!!!!!!!!! I am only a mother of one son who is 33. I cannot imagine 4 at once..😊💖
This lady has all three of her kids in foster care??? Oh my goodness my heart would ache.
You are truly a special person, Peter! A light in this world. May you be blessed always! xoxo
I commend you so much for helping the siblings Stay Together it is very hard to do that in the system.They usually break them apart unfortunately and that's hard on the kids. it's nice for them to have that support of each other .I was a foster mom for 4 years it was a great Growing Experience for me and such a blessing ❤. Thank you for all you do you're really good dad and person. Your family is beautiful.
Your transparency is so refreshing Peter...and the love 💕 you share defines your kind and intelligent soul.
The chaos is real. You are so patient.
Back to add… THE BOOK IS WONDERFUL!!!
This is my favorite blog, Peter. Mother of 5 living
Aw..they are so sweet..I'm a retired retired pre-school teacher..I miss it still..💜 they seem so bright and their verbal skills are amazing..I love it..💙
You are amazing, Peter! You definitely have your hands full now. It will be chaotic but lots of fun I'm sure.
Oh how I long for another child!! God is good! You’re amazing! These kids are so lucky to have you in their lives :) ahhh they’re siblings! You sir are a legend!!
Are they all siblings? How do you know this?

Wow! I remember those days. God bless you and give you the grace for the day to day.
Y’all make my heart so happy
Great father, great man.Lovely kids.U do have a big heart and take so good care of those kids.🥰❣
Peter I commend you and your patience. I have 4 kids myself and it is definitely a lot of work. ESPECIALLY with my twins who are 2 (almost 3). My two oldest are 18 and 11 and they help a lot. I'm also married but my husband works a lot so it's mostly me and the kids. I say all that to say that I am in awe of your patience and the smile you keep on your face. You are an inspiration. I will definitely get your book and share your journey with others. Much love to you and your family 😊❤️
Very adorable.
Everyone looks so happy.
Children are so precious.
Good job.
Like that you blurred out the faces so much better than the sunglasses.
Wish you could adopt this babies🥰 they are so happy with you. Security is so important.
I like your new intro. Looks like your household is still fun and busy as ever!
Peter, you have such a sweet, fun personality that the kiddos just love. You were born for this journey!
