Christmas Vlog 2022 in July 2023?!
Better late than never, here is our Christmas Vlog for 2022... Christmas in July is still a thing right?! No better than the last day of July 2023 even! Haha! This was Benson's first Christmas season in America and first one in Arizona with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles and cousins. It was so fun to watch him experience all these firsts.

Our Process for International Adoption - from Liberia Africa
zhlédnutí 610Před rokem
We get asked what the process is for international adoption all the time. So here is a quick breakdown of how it went for us. Just a reminder that each country, agency, and orphanage is different so this isn’t how it is for ALL international adoption, but it gives you a rough idea. If you have any questions I’m happy to answer them in the comments below or find us on instagram @jessicamandile #...
Why did we choose adoption?

Happy #worldadoptionday We are kicking off our CZcams channel with a small video series answering a few of our most asked questions. The first one that we get asked the most is , “why did you guys choose adoption?” If you are a part of the adoption community, tell us below why you choose adoption, or if you are in the process we’d love to hear all about that too!

    Greetings Jessica and Congratulations on your adoption. My wife and I are actually in the process as well and you like you to say a little more about the Form to be file with the USCIS, the requirements and the next step after approval from the Liberia Gender Ministry… is there any email we could reach you through ?

    Liberia is a beautiful country. Poverty yes, but the people find a way. And poverty in West Africa is different than USA. The coldest weather anytime is 72 degrees, fruit grows abundantly everywhere. People don't need oversized houses and TVs and a materialistic Babylon lifestyle to be happy. That said, on an individual level, most likely this will be a happy boy. But larger issues of Africa being viewed as needing 'saved' by the West is false, especially after hundreds of years of kidnapping Africans from their continent and stealing their natural resources. Overall, as a matter of public policy, I feel this is not good.

      So how did you help the little boy, how are you helping with your negative energy.! You guys are the problem for Africa when other people try to help, then you come up with your 200 years of slavery problem. The boys need help, Liberia kids are suffering poorly and lack of good education, She is helping and stop telling to deem the light that is shining into this little boy's life and find a child to adapt yourself. As Liberians, we are happy that our boy will have a good family. so that he can help his family tomorrow. Thank you.

There's no doubt you love and protect Benson, and you have a unique and very personal connection to Liberia yourselves now too. You've made a large personal and financial effort for the little boy from the goodness of your pure hearts influenced by your faith as well. As you found, Liberians are amazing resilient people and will always welcome you. Benson can be proud of his new family and his original homeland. I personally 100% directly support 9 Liberian children and this is a blessing beyond any material thing I've ever purchased for myself.

    I have mixed opinion on taking a child from Africa to America. America is a dangerous place especially for black males and gun violence impacting everyone, schools, malls etc. It is a blessing to care for the little boy and clearly he will be a treasured part of the family. I hope he can keep a strong connection to Africa.
