    I totally agree with you Penny because at the end of the day it's a BABY 🍼 it doesn't matter about the SKIN COLOR..BOY,GIRL & or ECT. I'm STARTING to REALIZE that more and more now because I myself have a BIRACIAL son who is my RAINBOW 🌈 BABY ♂️ BUT THE SAD PART IS it's so MANY EVIL people in this WORLD!!& The ONLY THING THEY SEE IS(COLOR)!! In my opinion there is no such thing as BLACK 🖤 OR WHITE ‼️ 🤍 BECAUSE at the end of the day we all are HUMAN BEING and we all BLEED the same COLOR WHICH IS 🤝 🩸 (R.E.D) as long as that BABY is HAPPY & HEALTHY & 😍 LOVED that's all that MATTERS!

    They are doing this the BEST WAY!!! That boy is going up knowing his birth mom and his adopted parents. What would be confusing is him growing up and recognizing he is different because of his skin color and then wondering why. Him knowing from birth that momma Kayla is his birth mom will be much more healing. Especially him knowing that they all have a relationship. That baby won the lottery!

    Absolutely because the ignorance on that fact is enormous most people always assume negative the moment they hear anyone has given a child up for adoption. When there are numerous reasons and it doesn't really matter to me especially when the child will at least get a chance at life with someone who does want children.

    I think this entire situation was divinely orchestrated. There’s no doubt how much love exists between Steven, Ashley, and MaKayla and they are meant to be in each other’s lives exactly as they are. No more and no less. Ashley got to learn that she doesn’t have to carry a baby to be a mother, and now that she’s pregnant, she gets to experience both sides of motherhood…that’s beautiful, and really special. MaKayla gets to be TT and watch Abriel become a big brother without the additional emotional/physical aspect of giving birth… i think this has all worked out for the betterment of everyone involved.

    I think that what they're doing is right. My older brother was adopted. My parents never told him because they did not want him to feel different than the other kids. He found out through the grapevine, & spiralled out of control. He's now deceased. The rejection was just to great, and the fact that my family lied to keep it hidden, trying to "Protect" him, just made him all the more angry. In the end always tell the truth....It's easier to remember. Telling lies leads to turmoil.

I do agree I've known friends that we're adopted one parents was involved one where they weren't but as he gets older he's gonna wanna know why me bio mom has 3 other siblings he's def gonna ask tuff questions as he grows it's normal with adoption

    So many adopted children are kept in the dark about their adoption and the effects are astronomical. My grandmothers best friend was given one of the dna test kits like 23 and me a few years back and at 74 years old she found out through that test that her mom and dad were not her biological parents. Her parents bio and adopted are all dead. All her siblings were later confirmed to be the biological children of the adopted parents. I mean the impact it had was huge. One day she’s the oldest of 9 siblings and within a month she learns she has no biological family. It’s heart wrenching. So the fact that McKayla is so involved is beautiful and I love the special friendship that they’ve created. McKayla is such an amazing woman and mother. I mean she’s so beautiful and selfless.

    Honesty in adoption is never confusing. Dishonesty and omission is confusing. My mom has my son and he is 8 now and just found out I'm his birth mom and not his sister. That's confusing. Knowing from the beginning makes it just what it is and confusion is rarely an issue. My husband is also adopted and is very thankful his parents never told him anything other than the truth.

    I just want to say that my girls called my mom "mom" because that's what I called her. It was never an issue or confusing. That relationship between mother (Ashley) and child is something so special as well as what his has with his birth mom. It's just different. I love how Ashley isn't threatened by that. It's because her love for her child is pure and selfless. I support this family and the decisions they are making for him. I can't wait to see how easily this 2nd baby comes into this family. It's a beautiful story ❤

    This is the first time I'm not on the same page with Karamo. When you're growing up in that situation, you don't find it confusing until you're much older and by that time you can understand better. The important thing is that the children are surrounded by love. The same situation without care and love would be catastrophic but that's not the case in this instance.

    As a black mother, I get why people would wonder and may "raise an eyebrow" when a white couple adopts a black child ( I've seen many individuals foster/adopt children for HORRIBLE reasons; therefore, white guilt isn't so far-fetched). ***HOWEVER*** the care and thought this child's adopted parents made to ensure this child is connected to his culture is nothing but wonderful and shows their true love for their baby. It is such a blessing this child has such a family filled with so much love and selflessness.

    The fact she's concerned about her son thinking she loves the baby she carries more is all you need to hear. It shows her pure mothering heart & the love she has for her son!!❤❤❤ Many mothers that don't have trouble conceiving and carrying children worry about how their 1st child will feel when they have their second child or how they'll feel about the second. They aren't denying him the truth and most of all they're giving him unconditional love that's all that matters.❤❤❤ They shouldn't receive any hate for loving a child or wanting a baby of their own.

She is being raised by the Greatest Mom & Dad. The Best Family. And the most loving home than I can offer! That’s all I can ask for! ❤❤❤ THANK YOU TO ALL FOSTER & ADOPTION PARENTS! 🙏💖✨🙏💖✨🙏💖✨ Edit: My (6yr old) daughter & I only speak about twice a year… I don’t think it’s confusing for her to call me Mama ‘my name’ bcuz of that fact. She’ll kno she’s adopted. She “knows” now.

    I think everyone needs to let them do what is best for their family. It works for them and that is all that matters. I think it is great because their son will never question his background. He will grow up aware and won't have the major breakdown that most adopted kids have once they find out that they are adopted.

    I know that she may have been very nervous and misspoke but I think with her saying she writes him letters every year about what he's missing out on maybe very hurtful to him in the future because although she has a reason for giving him up he will always wonder why she kept her older kids. I understand life and things happen but this is very much a delicate situation. I can tell she is still hurting with her decision and I pray she finds peace. The adoptive parents are a blessing and doing what they think is best. I can tell they want to keep the lines of communication open with the birth mom and thats wonderful but there has to be some boundaries (I dont think the birth mom is doing it intentionally she is just still torn). However one thing for sure is that the young man has a village of love around him and thats what needs to be the focus. 💕

My birth mother is awesome and she truly loved me, but she is my biological mother not my mother. I met my birthmother when I was 13 and then 32 and the at 45. We have developed a friendship but not a paternal relationship. I am grateful for her selfless sacrifice. Eva s you are the parents not the birthmother.
