Bro It’s heaven oh wow!
The fact that the mom can literally raise 12 kids and help other foster kids find homes shows she never stopped caring about these kids in foster care
This is how my mama is. She's the definition of love to me.
Wish I had been adopted by that family😙
How beautiful! God is awesome! Wonderful folks here!

When I watch real life stories like these and I'm lucky enough to be introduced to meet women like this mother I honestly do believe there are angels walking amongst us. This mama bear is proof.

Wow! Beautiful story & Beautiful family! And I think she reveals a beauty secret too....Pure Good Love keeps you healthy & youthful lol I confused mom with daughter a couple of times because she looks so young 🙂
Salute her motherhood.
Thank you for what you have done ❤️
Wow good heart good family's...😍😍😍
Proud of you
they’re sent by God to make a difference in the world. by looking at the biological daughter, the mum was so beautiful but i can tell she never had a chance to look after herself. i hope the kids look after and pamper her now 🙏🏾
May God bless this family endlessly
God bless your family amazing
Super mom!! How lovely
Beautiful
Have my admiration and honor. 😘
It is difficult to believe people had problems with them being a mixed family. Listen up to all the negative people, "IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS." They are one happy family,but because the negative speakers are not,they have to throw in negativity. Astonishing. Enjoy your wonderful family,you are Mom of the year
Such a beautiful inspiring family. The truest words ever spoken from a child, I call mom , dad, or siblings if I ever need anything, both good or bad. Family is everything. Family is love .dna doesn't make a family, it doesn't make a parent. A parent and family is a choice based on imperfect, unending love , made perfect
I love this. Thank you.
So happy 4 u...god bless you and your family.😘.i myself am planning to adopt...
Stories like these massage me love my children more. So sad how millions of children are in the system or adopted. Many good endings but as well. Thank God for the good.
WOW!!
Great story thank you for sharing
May Allah bless her heart😚😚😚
truly saints...amazing!!
This is beautiful..
