I am a former adoption caseworker, and I encourage people to consider adopting older kids/teenagers. One practical reason is that you know who you're getting. With a baby, you have no idea. Your love can't fix them or prevent ill effects of their prenatal life. And these older kids deserve a family as much as everyone else.

Though I guess it makes sense in a way since I have heard really bad things about the American fostering system. In New Zealand and Australia much more emphasis is put on the fostering system and cancelling someone's parental rights pretty much only happens when they are a physical danger to the child.

The dad “they give me way more than what I can give them”. Right in the feels 😭

People who want to adopt and give their life’s to children in need have such a huge heart all of them. I’m adopted and my mom has the biggest heart ever. Adults who adopt older kids deserve the world. It’s difficult to create bonds with teens, especially familiar bonds and create a safe space where they feel as if you are their mom or dad. Most adults who are looking to adopt seem to disregard older children saying they are “difficult” or they feel as if they aren’t their real children. Family to me isn’t always blood, its the people who love you and support you and you don’t always grow up with them. I’m so touched by this story it’s always beautiful to see such giving people give love to those who most need it 💓

My husband and I just finished our home study so we can adopt from foster care. We're very excited for this new chapter in our lives. I did and do kinda want to adopt a sibling group 12 and under but I'm starting to open up to the idea of a teenager. It's been on my mind that I didn't want this big person that had a lot of anger or resentment (I know young kids can feel this way too)taking it out on me and my husband. We want a family bond and I don't want someone who may leave us in a few years as soon as they become of age. I know that may sound selfish but I want to adopt a person who can always come home to us even after they've moved out and still think of as mom and dad and not just those people I lived with when I was in high school. I know every person and situation is different but these are the thoughts that I have. I would love to provide a loving home for a teenager who we could do stuff with, take on vacation, get involved in whatever they're interested in, teach new things to them. I'm trying to keep an open mind.

We have nine and four others that call us Mom n Dad cause we've let em get up on their feet two of them their own parents wouldn't help them and the other two grew up in the system our kids told them my parents will be yours and they brought them home. The one just moved out last July, our other adopted brought him to us, he's going to school and working back home in Florida after staying with us for nearly two years. My husband taught him how to work on cars so that's what he's going to school for, 😊. I don't think we've ever had an empty room since we've been married, bless the LORD for such lessons.

I’ve always wanted to adopt teens, even though I’m still a teen myself rn, but whether I choose to have biological kids or not in the future at some point that’s something I’d like to do. I’m so happy to see people like this adopting, to see teens and older children being placed in great care and happy 😊

I’m not adopted but I’m under a SGO with the most amazing foster mum and family I could ever have wished for. Entering the system at 12 I didn’t have much hope and the first 2 year I just moved around a total of 6 family’s and 2 homes and then just after I turned 14 I moved in with the most wonderful family and I’ve been here ever since and I’m 17 next month and I’ve never felt so happy. I love my family so much! ❤️❤️

Good for them. Maybe this will inspire more people to follow.

The sense of missing their mom, will sadly never go away, but over time, healing can and will happen. I pray they will have an amazing life as a family.

I’m just amaze at how many siblings get adopted together. I’ve heard of rare stories where siblings are separated. This is just beautiful and amazing

Thank you for your kindness and loving heart!

It's always been one thing i wanted to do.... And they water it.... 💓 God Bless them

GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY!.. TRULY AMAZING.

Brought tears to my eyes. Such beautiful children and parents. Every kid needs someone they can depend on. Good job guys, for following your hearts.

What a sweet couple... It’s so wonderful how they’re focused on the children and not on themselves, the ego that comes with a lot of parenting can be destructive. But these two seem really selfless.

Truly selfless and a lesson in unconditional loving! ❤️

why would anyone in their right mind give this a thumbs down? This was beautiful.

3:50 Ik this is supposed to be serious but did homeboy really just say periodt 🤣

I choose to be childless but am planning to adopt or foster. I don’t need a baby to look like me to love them with no strings. I am struggling to create stability for myself but once I do I want to provide it for others.

What a wonderful loving couple. Am in tears

It just moved me to tears. Thank you for being so nice you guys. God bless you

Are we just going to not talk about how the adoptive dad was like Period I'm deadddd sksksksksk😂😂

This really made me tear up because I was adopted at 5years old from my drug addicted parents , so I know exactly how they feel being taken from your parents. And no matter what it'll always affect you throughout life whether you're in a good home or not.

This makes me emotional.. Man! It made me cry. Blessed this people. So much love is going on here😇🙏

I’ve always wanted to adopt older kids. They are just as important as babies. One day 💜

Thank you Jesus. BLESS this family .

Im crying. God bless them! Seriously. They have such a beautiful heart

I'm so proud of this beautiful family! When you watch this video you can feel their love for each other. It's wonderful.

What a wonderful story. Bless this family and their children.

This is beautiful... One moment while I dab away the tears 😭

I was adopted and loved seeing this heartwarming story.... congrats to the family and new members. Wish a lifetime of happiness for you all.

I was lucky and adopted as a baby. My heart goes out to all of the kids in foster care. So glad these two are in a safe and loving home 💗

Beautiful. I've been thinking of this for over 10 years... it just makes sense sometimes. Blessings to you guys and may each of you realize just how awesome it is that you have each other.

Bless this beautiful family ❤️
