OK Mary, hold up, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but, how are you going to adopt a child? I heard that you said a couple of years ago, and I quote: "It would be potentially dangerous for me to have children." How does that make sense, regarding your health? I'm just asking, because I got confused when Peter said: "We're having a baby." I'm just saying. But anyways, I hope everything goes well! But seriously, I don't know the process of adopting children, and I don't really want to use my Google Nest Audio right now to look it up right now. That's kind of awkward to me. Once again, if I'm hurting your feelings, I am extremely sorry. I got confused.

@@ethanbowling3048 I think she was saying that as in it would be dangerous for her and the baby if she carried the baby with her health verses adoption it would not as she would not be actually carrying the baby . maybe!? 💝

Big appreciation for letting us into a part of your lives, that most would likely leave private until all the necessary hoops have been jumped through. So stoked for this next chapter for you guys.

Any child that is coming your way , will be blessed to have you as their parents, prayers will continue for you both and the baby that Jesus chooses for you both.

I grew up as a child of a sick parent, and while things were difficult at times, I don’t look back on that time as traumatic. The people who commonly surrounded my family made hospitalizations and surgeries easier for me. I totally understand why you didn’t want to adopt before Trikafta, and I am SO thankful you will be able to now!

As someone who is resigned to never having a family due to my health (9 brain surgeries & counting) I am over the moon for you guys! Praying you through this incredible journey.

I remember when you were sick and crying in the hospital I remember crying wondering why someone like Mary has to suffer and now seeing how well your doing and the wonderful improvements that are happening in your life gives me such hope I am so happy I could share your teachable journey! You have shown such strength, resilience and love you deserve all the joy that comes your way!

God always grants us our hearts desire.....I remember the days and nights I cried for a baby and my miscarriages and disappointments and surgeries...and then, I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy who is an awesome man today!! God is always there

@@joane.3533 Dear Joan, I am glad that God has granted you the desires of your heart and blessed you abundantly! I pray God grants Mary and Peter the same. However, I have to say that God has not promised to always grant us the desires of our hearts. I have been in that situation. I have come to peace with the disappointment of my desires for a family not granted to me. Please be careful saying such things, because it is very difficult for those of us who have not been blessed in that way! It is extremely painful.

Oh Mary, those 9 years were a gift. We tried to have a baby for years (MFI) and the pain with every pregnancy and birth was soul destroying. I am so so happy that this path of becoming parents is where you are going, you are going to be amazing parents. We finally got our miracle and she is now two. Doesn't matter how they arrive, just so long as they are loved x

"Raising our child to have the tools to view the brokenness of world through the eyes of hope and the way God redeems suffering.." That gave me a lump in my throat and full body goosebumps. This child is going to be so lucky to have the two of you. The way you praise God in your hardest moments - moments that would shake my faith - you two are so inspirational. I wish you absolute joy and can't wait to meet your beautiful baby.

I'm so excited for you two! He/She will be very blessed to have y'all as their parents, thank you for sharing your beautiful story! God is truly AMAZING!

I was adopted at birth. What you are doing is just so incredible I love it! You are saving a life, if my bio mom would have choose to keep me I would have been living a life in severe poverty. I wish you the best of luck with this process! ❤️❤️❤️

So happy for yall. I scream cried when I saw y'all IG announcement

I can't thank you enough for being so kind and generous to share with us (your online family) the depth and intimacy of your experience. I pray God will always keep you in the palm of his hand. Bless you both.

Watching while MY "that mama door is shut" kiddo plays in my lap. Our journey to her looked very different yet my heart was in the identical place! The bitter has made the sweet so much more precious!

The nursery you put together for Baby Frey is a beautiful sanctuary. 💙💕☺️

oh my gosh, you guys!!!! mary's excited/shocked giggle is too dang cute. very happy for you guys

This video is so beautiful. Hearing Mary talk about watching Peter grieving but not discussing is so real & something most would not admit & discuss. I can’t wait to see your family grow & the joy that will come with that but also to see you tackle those challenges of life together.

I am not religious but I find your communication and way of processing all off your emotions in this important and beautiful decision is amazing! I wish you all the best in this coming journey 💙

Both my brother and I were adopted (different bio parents, 6 years apart) so something like this makes me so happy to hear. ❤️❤️ Congratulations you guys, I know your child/children will be raised in a loving and amazing home.

What a beautiful testimony I am adopted and it’s such a painful process at times thank you for not judging and bringing so much contentment. Grace and joy into a hard world

Such intimacy and rawness! You trust us with this big journey and story. May God lift you in His hands as you step into this new chapter!

If it's a boy, I think you should name him after Peter's dad. It feels very "full circle." That life is full of pain and suffering, but also incredible joy, and you can experience both at the same time.

I literally have tears in my eyes, I’m so happy for you and for your families, because I know that you guys have one at this for so long now.

I had a feeling something was up when Peter moved his office too! Something was a-changing!! Congrats! Adoption is a WONDERFUL thing (coming from someone who was adopted as a baby!)!!

Bless you guys! My family adopted my little brother when he was 4yo. That was 32 years ago. He definitely would not be alive if it wasn't for his adoption. He blessed me becoming my only sibling and he stretched and challenged us all to become more loving and open and Christ like. Bless your journey and giving hope to a another person and family.

I just love God's story in your life! I've been watching your vlogs for a few years. Your hearts for Jesus and others is such an encouragement through my journey with chronic illnesses. Recently as I've been grieving not having children I've re-watched your vlogs answering questions about having or not having children. I've wondered if you may decide to adopt with having such wonderful improvements with Mary's health! Praise God for the improvements and praise Him for leading you to adoption at this time! I cried tears of joy for you when I saw the title of your most recent two vlogs. I absolutely can't wait to see your little one and watch your journey as a mommy, daddy and baby!!! It will also be fun to see how Ollie, Harry and baby interact with one another. What a beautiful picture of God adopting us....choosing, desiring & cherishing us out of LOVE!!! So VERY exciting!!!!

We just had our miracle baby this May after many years of thinking we would never have a child. I remember those days of mixed sorrow and joy for friends. I am so excited for you guys!!!! That shock and joy won't wear off soon and it shouldn't anyways!! So happy for you guys! God bless you 😊

I saw your announcement yesterday and have had a big smile since. If anyone is meant to parent a child through this life of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, contentment and chaos, it's you two. You guys bring so much joy already to so many including me that I look for the added joy to come. God is with you.

My 60 y/o husband was adopted from Lebanon 58 years ago. He was in an orphanage with a bleak future. He was adopted by 2 wonderful parents and he is forever grateful. Best wishes on this exciting journey to being parents!

Ive watched you for 5 years and I so remember how very very sick you were. I could see you losing weight, being almost unable to walk to the bathroom…sometimes even after a hospital stay…then Trikafta has been such an amazing miracle help for you! I am so happy happy for you! Also, thank you for reminding us subbies that we see only a small fraction of your lives! I am so happy that you will be able to be parents.

My heart is so full for you both. I can just feel it bursting with joy and happiness! I've been following your journey for years now and I'm simply amazed.

I'm so very happy for both of you. I was adopted at 2 weeks and I'm 67 now. I had the parents God chose for me, they too couldn't do it naturally but l believe with all my heart God already knows which child is going to call you mom and dad. You are going to be gorgeous parents. Love and best wishes 🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺🐨💕💕💕

This was the most beautiful story told so vulnerably. Thank you for sharing and letting us see God’s faithfulness to and through you. Prayers for you all in this process as you take the next steps!

Thank you for always but especially now being so open and honest. I love the way you two communicate not only together but with us followers, it warms my little Covid filled heart this afternoon

Never felt any real desire to have children myself but It's great to see you realize a dream you've had for so long. I'm sure you both will make amazing parents.

I have an incredibly rare lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis or LAM for short. Carrying a child will be risky due to my lung function and current medications. However, adoption is out of the realm of possibility for me due to cost. I'm so glad it's a path you can pursue!

I want to thank you for sharing your thought process and feelings with all of us. You two are going to be amazing parents!! The child you adopt is truly blessed.

I know I’m not alone in feeling so grateful to be let into such an important, exciting vulnerable thing. I am excited for this sweet baby (and this journey!) as if it were my own. I truly can’t wait to see what is in store for the Frey family 💕💕💕

I have only just been able to emotionally watch this vlog and I have cried, smiled, laughed and every other emotion throughout……. My partner passed away last year and we never got to the stage of considering adoption/fostering. Thank you 🙏🏻 for your raw emotional account of your journey and I so look forward to your journey into parenthood and beyond xx

I was adopted myself and I couldn't be more thankful to my birthmother for choosing to place me for adoption. I have had a wonderful life! I also work at an adoption agency because of how adoption changed the life from the life I would have had to the life I have. I think it is wonderful that you are in a place where you feel ready to adopt. I wish you all the happiness that comes with adoption!

Mary and Peter- So in awe of your journey and so excited for what lies ahead for you both. You guys are going to be amazing parents!

I feel so blessed to know the beautiful details - both joyful and sorrowful - of this most exciting journey. I am overjoyed for you. You two were meant to be a mommy and a daddy, and the world will be a better place for it. God bless you! My heart is singing!

I've been watching since you two were moving away from Scotland. You've had such a journey they I'm honored to have gotten to watch. I'm adopted and watching your new adoption announcement videos immediately make me start crying. I'm so happy for you two and the baby you so deserve to love someday soon. And I'm so happy and floored how amazing it is that you are healthy enough to do this too, after so many years of not thinking kids were in your future. So much love to you both! ❤️

Such a beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing. I am so excited for y'all!

I could have listened to you for another 5 hours. This is so raw and beautiful

Peter and Mary, what a gift you are to all around you. Your testimony is so sweet and you two are gracious to openly share what the Lord has been doing in your hearts. My eyes are full of tears and my heart bursting with the joy that is to come. Congrats, y’all!!! And PRAISE JESUS!

We have been married 27 years we have a 25 year old biological daughter (who has a 18 month old) a 23 year old biological ( who has a 2 year old and a 2 week old). After our 2nd child my husband survived cancer twice. Physically having more children wasn’t a possibility. Emotionally we wanted more. So we adopted a little boy who just turned 18. Once again we were done. Nope we adopted a little girl at 12 weeks straight out of NICU! Born at 28 weeks at 2 lbs with 7 drugs in her system She is 5 years old. Adoption is WONDERFUL! Welcome to the club! It is so bittersweet because someone had to lose for you to gain. God bless y’all!

Thanks for sharing your journey of getting to this place of adoption in your hearts. You will make the most wonderful parents....any child would be so blessed to be in your family! Best wishes as you go thru this process!

I would like to say you’re relationship is so beautiful. I myself am adopted and am truly blessed. Thank you for giving a child a chance at a wonderful life.

Wow ! What a testimony y'all have ! Thank you for sharing your journey everyday and sharing this new journey with us ! When you were describing having a peace through this all I could think about is the scripture of how the Lord gives us peace that surpasses all understanding , we only expierence that peace in and through Christ Jesus . It's like the Lord protected your heart and then brought you to this journey where you are surrendering it all yet again into the Lord's hands ! What a beautiful thing ! I'm sitting here in a different stage of life than you are currently in but your journey and testimony speaks to me in what I am going through as well , GOD IS SO GOOD ! Praying for you both and for the baby the Lord has for you ! God bless ! So Happy for you both !

Thank you for sharing this with us. I’ve felt your pain & joy. I cried along with you. I’m so happy for this season that you’re entering now.

I am so impressed with your communication skills. If more married couples or family members or just two people would sit down at a table, look across at each other, and make an honest attempt to communicate, explain, and patiently understand the other's viewpoint--whether each agrees or not--there would be so many fewer divorces and family quarrels and disconnections. Good on you! Any baby will be blessed to have you as parents.

you guys owe me some soothers for my throat! i have sobbed my way through this. i've been watching you for years and this news couldn't make me any happier. you deserve all the joy life has to offer you. yes, parenting with an illness and uncertainty is difficult and it produces children with care and empathy that others have no way of learning or understanding. it breeds resilience and motivation to face life's struggles. i often look back at my life as a parent and wonder if i did the right thing raising children as a disabled woman and then i look at them and i look at how wonderful they are with understanding way beyond others their age. they are kind, caring, humble and loving humans that wand to give themselves to care for others. our family unit is happy and filled with love and support for each other. the fears are real and they will keep coming and the outcome of that is beautiful. good luck in this season of your lives, i hope it is everything you hope for and more. you two will make amazing parents if that is what is in store for you.

I love your channel so much! I am so excited for you guys. Ollie and Harry will be so happy for another person to snuggle with

I am adopted. My mom (adoptive) was sick when I was a kid and she died when I was a teenager, and as sad, challenging and hard as it was, I never once regretted going though it. Never once questioned why my parents chose to adopt me. I never once imagined it any other way. She was my mom through and through no matter how long we were together before she died. She always will be my mom, and I can’t wait to meet her again when i get to heaven. Plus my dad and brother (also adopted) and I will always be family forever and be able to share and help each other through the rest of the joys and sorrows of life. I am so happy for you two and the whole extended family.

You too make me smile every time I see you guys 🥰 thank you for allowing us to be part of the adoption process 🙏🥰

It is a really broken world and the next day isn't promised for ANYONE, but that shouldn't stop you from fulfilling your dream (and I'm glad it isn't!). My sister in law died and left behind 2 children unexpectedly this past year. No one could have predicted it whatsoever and my husband and I and the rest of our family is just doing our best to support those poor kids. The next day, week, even year isn't promised for anyone and if you have the heart to have a child or adopt like you guys do and the resources, I say go for it. I'm very happy for you both ❤️

For a time I stopped watching your videos (I just wasn’t seeing them but this one got pushed through) and when you started talking about coughing I realized that you haven’t had a coughing fit at all and it was about an hour into an uncut video!! AMAZING!!

You surely touched my heart. Praying for you on this journey!!

Every time Mary smiled because she couldn't believe it was real, I got goosebumps!!! So many emotions that cannot be put into words. So glad to see you guys happy. Our God is so good💜

YOU GUUYS!! 😍😭 I am beyond exited for this new chapter in your life and I feel like my own family is growing! I am praying for you and God will, your future little one. Thank you so much for sharing this raw and beautiful intimate conversation with us! So much love from Germany ❤️

Adoption is such an incredible, tangible way of seeing how we, as Children of God, are adopted into His family. Not a second rate choice at all! ❤️

What vulnerable pieces of yourselves you shared with all of us and how much that means to your journey. I am so full of joy for this news and the journey it has taken you to choose a path that “could” show a new hard, a new messy, a new uncertainty, but one that will also provide a new JOY, a new LOVE, a new richness in experience and always new hope! You are both so prepared emotionally for what it takes to be wonderful parents and whatever child enters your world, is going to receive the best of both you! Blessings, blessings, blessings, for you as you traverse, experience and live a new chapter in your lives!

You talk about it in such a beautiful way, thank you for letting me see this part of you

Thanks for letting us be able to walk through this with you!!! I am incredibly grateful and excited for you guys!!!

Oh Mary my heart breaks for you but rejoices for you! You got this girl! This was a beautiful video 💕

Hi Marry & Peter both. I am really happy to hear that great news about adopting a baby. My husband and I we both adopted a baby boy in U.K. That's a great bonding with each other. We both love him so much & he love us too. Can't imagine our life was pointless without him. May God bless him in this world and hereafter, Amen. I can't express this care, love & bonding in my words. I am going to pray for you. May God bless you, Amen.

Trusting in God .. Grateful today for the Frey Life! 🙏

I am a adopted child myself and I am so greatful for parents like you. I have seen all of you videos and I can not with words express the joy and happiness with your announcement of adopting. I can only imagine the thoughts but I am SO HAPPY for you!!! You have helped me and my family with your videos thru the years. You have helped my daughter and I so wish you all the god good can give you. 💜🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💜🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💜

Thank you both so much for your openness and vulnerability to truthfully share with us the ups, downs, twists and turns of your journey. I have learned so much from you both and am sooo happy for you! Congratulations & God bless and bless!

Thank you so much for sharing your hearts and lives with us Mary and Peter! I am so happy for you both 💗

Every time Mary tears up, I do too! May God fully Bless your journey!!!! This will be one blessed child! ♥️♥️♥️

I love you guys. Thank you unendingly for your videos. I have followed you all for most of the journey on KZread. And absolutely have watched majority of everything. I am working on catching up. But I speak of you all to family and keep them updated they/I are so proud of you all! Lots of love. Congratulations on this wonderful LIFE❤ you all can do this!! Thank you guys. Please know there’s so much love for you all.

Oh my heart!!! I can not even put into words my happiness! I have been talking about you all to MY family and they know when I am speaking of Peter and Mary, they know who I am talking about! Even my coworkers know! I have been on a roller coaster with you guys since yesterday! Just know that you have someone that loves you all here in a little town in IL! Oh, and the excitement is like being a shaken bottle of champagne! Is just explodes and then all of the bubbles just flow! Much love from your paramedic friend from IL!

Thank you for sharing a piece of this journey of yours with us. I am in awe of the way you don't hide the reality of emotions and communicating with each other and if, God willing, you can bring a child into your little family, I'll be so glad for them to be in an environment that does not judge or hide such things.

I just cannot express how HAPPY I am for you both. You are going to make the most AMAZING parents

My husband and I were in the exact same place as you and Peter are 21 years ago. In 1993 I was looking after my best friend my Mom while she was dying of cancer and my husband and I were trying to have a baby. I knew my Mom was not going to be there for any child we had but I said I wanted a daughter who was just like her and what did she want me to name her. She said Renee. My Mom passed away on July 4th, 1993. After many failed attempts at having a biological child we were approved for adoption through The Catholic Children’s Aid. We were to meet the identical twin 6 year old girls we were going to adopt the day of my 30th birthday. The adoption fell through that day and I went into a deep depression and took our name off the list. Weeks later our adoption worker talked us into putting our name back on and a few days later our worker called and described a 17 month old little girl to us. I had been praying to God and asking my Mom to send me a sign if a child was meant for us. After we heard her described and agreed to adopt her over the phone our worker asked us if we wanted to know her name. Her name was Desteny. I knew right away that she was our Renee (we had to change her name due to privacy issues). Renee literally means to be reborn in French and my husband is French Canadian. On December 1st of the year we adopted her I awoke to Renee standing in front of our refrigerator singing Happy Birthday to it. December 1st was my Mom’s Birthday! I will definitely be following your adoption journey. You have helped me have hope when I had to have dialysis and underwent my kidney transplant in 2013. I have been following you since the beginning.

A new door opening for you and a new little life who doesn’t know this yet! Praying for a future filled with love and peace xx 🙏🌈🎉💐❤️

I'm So Excited for Y'all!! I'm so happy yall are sharing this part of your Journey with us!!

It was so amazing being able to hear about your journey! I ask God to bless y’all on your new journey to parenthood.

Oh my goodness I am in tears right now. Words cant even express how happy I am! I love you both and thank you for this video and your constant hard work!

I just got done watching this video on your adoption fundraiser site and I laughed and I cried with you all. To say I’m thrilled for you all is an understatement. I’ve actually been going through a similar situation as you all. I’ve gone from the desire of having kids to be nonexistent, to like you said Mary God cracking that door open and all arrows are pointing that way even though it terrifies me! It was so beautiful hearing your all’s perspective. Thank you for letting us in on this intimate part of your life and for taking us along this journey. This was such a beautiful testimony of the Lord’s hand in your life. 💕 I will be fervently praying for you all as walk down this path. You will both be PHENOMENAL parents!

I have been watching you guys for years now. So happy that you are adopting. I love Peters sermons and singing in Church.

This conversation enlightened my heart and mind. Thank you for sharing your story regarding your decision making for adoption. I have a medical condition which causes me unable to carry a child full term, and the grief gets to me. Knowing there are all sorts of stories regarding having children is heartwarming and a relief. I never saw myself as an adoptive mother but the more I think about it the more I am going to consider it. Thanks for opening my eyes. God Bless you and yours with love, healing, happiness, abundance and a beautiful adoption. ✝️🙏🏻💜

So happy for you guys, I have been watching your videos forever and am so excited for you!!

Crying along with y’all 💜 the world is blessed to have people like y’all in it ! As a Mama to a 3 yr old girl with cf (she’s in that final 10%) and the fear of the unknowns for her, your story/journey is a steady stream of peace and reassurance. Your strong faith is amazing . And definitely helped me grow in mine when I was struggling💜 You’re going to be amazing parents!!

Congratulations you two! I have been watching this channel for years now💗 It’s amazing to see your lives change so much! I am someone who hasn’t been able to have children and can completely identify with the pain of not having💗 I’m also someone who grew up in a home with chronically ill family. When I was 8, I had a sister who became so sick. She was in the hospital so much more than she was ever home. As a kid, and where my brain development was at that time….being sent to a neighbors house at 3 am while you see an ambulance pull away….not knowing if things were ok….not knowing if there was going to be a lunch for me to eat the next day at school and actually going hungry. Then watching my parents come in the door at 7:00am one July morning…..seeing a grief that I had never seen on my parents face before…where I had grown up so quickly that they never had to tell me that my sister was dead. If God wants for you to have a child….I know that child will be very special! But make sure to make you baby feel safe….if something scary happens….be open and explain what is going on💗 But….if the adoption doesn’t truly come open….please be at peace. It is so difficult to be the child in a home with illness💗

Thank you Peter and Mary for sharing this part of your hearts and lives

I'm so happy for you guys!! I've been following you guys for a while now 💜

Oh my goodness! I'm super happy for the both of you! That's going to be one blessed baby! I love you both🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

This is so open and vulnerable and pure and I am so appreciative that you guys were willing to share this part of your hearts. 💙💙💙

This video had me in tears but in such a good way. I am sooo excited to see where this journey will lead the two of you. Thank you for sharing your life with us💜💜

You guys, I sobbed through the how hour video. This hit home for me so many times. Your description of each of your feelings I know whole heartedly. With health issues I didn’t know would come for me. After 4 pregnancies and 0 births throughout years, broken relationships happening because of it. I’ve now been married for 17 years to my husband that had 2 teenagers then. I picked up where their mother left off. Never trying to replace her but be their tree that they could lean on in hard times. I might not have ever been called mommy but I love being called grandma! The best day was showing my granddaughter how to do something. And she turned to me and said with a sparkle in her eyes “GRANDMA! We did I it!” She loves learning from grandma and that fills my mommy heart ❤️ for sure. You kids have so much to give and will be great parents. I am praying with you

This was so beautiful to hear; thank you for sharing such an intimate journey.

So excited to be along for a new chapter in your life!

This is such a powerful story and testimony. Thank you for sharing. I am so excited to continue following this journey!

I just love the way you two shine when you talk about adopting my hopes and prayers for your future family

Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life with us. I cried with you both as you were telling your journey. I can not imagine any 2 better people to adopt a child and share your selves with them.

I have been following you guys for several years now and I have to say I cannot be more excited for you both. Let me just say from a childs stand point. My dad was sick my entire life. It was just my life and I didn't even know it wasn't a part of everyone's life. I would come home from school to a note that mom was at the hospital with dad and she would be home or call us later. I will say it gave me the heart for caring for people and i have more medical knowledge than many people that arent doctors or nurses by trade. With all that said we never know what life will throw at us and you just learn to adapt and adjust and kids are very good at adapting. Your child will be blessed with an amazing life.

I’m so happy for the two of you, you guys deserve every bit of happiness that having a child gives you. I love you both

Thank you for your courage, your honesty and your sharing. They are all so contagious in the best way, your journey is a great comfort to me and I'm so excited by your truth!
