Oh my heart. I can’t believe it’s been a year since the adoption. My favourite thing from back when Olivia came into your lives was Bert saying “I’m wearing the shirt I wore to the birth of all my kids”, the most beautiful and precious thing to say. Much love to you and your family this Christmas.
I was adopted at 6 days old, and we celebrate just my birthday. I cannot remember when I was told, but always knew I was special until I could understand what adoption meant. My mum and dad are my mum and dad, and I wouldn’t have it any other way, I have been blessed. They are still with me at the ages of 91 and 88 and I couldn’t love them more than I do. You are all so blessed, enjoy everything that comes your way. The making and recording of memories is so important. You will look back on milestones and be so grateful. Happy Christmas all ❤️ xx
So glad your parents are still with you, may they stay healthy and strong for many more years.
My Mom is 90 and thank God, she is still strong and very healthy. God bless you and your family! ❤
Merry Christmas, Somers family. We are an adoptive family that celebrates our boys’ Gotcha Days, Adoption Days, and birthdays all a bit differently. Birthdays are typical…gifts, cake, special outing or party. Adoption Day is usually a cupcake with a # candle, singing “Happy Adoption Day,” reminiscing about the day they officially became “ours,” looking at photos. Gotcha Day is more low-key…acknowledge & talk about the importance of that day, what we as parents felt & experienced. We weave in to all of it acknowledging bio Mom’s role in bringing our boys into our family. 💕
Oh my goodness your comment warms my heart!
Olivia fits so well into the family, she was meant for you guys and I just love watching her grow up❤.
Congratulations on the celebration of sweet Olivia ❤. I am 58 & was adopted at 18 months old. Years & years later, our Pastor's wife at that time asked if we should pray that my biological family would find me. I was like, "Oh, yeah! I'm sure they'll be beating down my door after all these years 😂". She prayed & exactly 2 weeks later on a Sunday morning, I received a call from my bio brothet 😮- We met & went on a road trip to meet our bio mom & 1/2 brother in Michigan & then to meet our bio dad, stepmom & 3 half brothers in North Carolina. I also found out that I had cousins thst I had known & gone to church with. Although happy to have gone on that journey, my TRUE family is the one who I was loved & raised by. Olivia is loved and will always know that ❤ Merry Christmas, Somers family!
I was adopted too but sadly, only found out seven years ago. This whole adoption journey for the beautiful family just warms my heart. Olivia is one VERY lucky little girl for sure to have landed into such a wonderful family.
Your story is awesome! I hope to adopt and have worried what a child may feel regarding birth families and how to make that portion of the child’s life as easy as possible
I love that you adopted. A child of choice is a gift
What a beautiful ending to Acts of Kindness ~ Adopting Olivia is such a miracle & gift from the Lord 🥰 The footage of her adoption day had me bawling happy tears 😭
I can't believe it has been a year. We celebrate my husband birthday (in February) and adoption day (in October) every year. His family and his "additional families" love for him is the most amazing thing to witness. ❤
I remember crying right along with Audrey when you shared about adopting a baby girl and celebrating with you all on Olivia's adoption day! ❤
It's hard to believe a year has gone by that you adopted that blessed little one. Olivia is such a beautiful child and fits so perfectly within your family.
Sweet Sugar Plum Olivia became a Somers 1 year ago! On adoption day the whole family should get gifts for being so LOVING!❤ Merry Christmas from the heel of da boot! SW Louisiana🐊🐢🐸❤
I can’t believe it’s been a year. She is growing so fast! I remember Audrey crying when you told the kids so has such a sweet soul!
Can’t believe it’s been a year since you adopted Olivia , makes your family complete ❤❤❤
You adopted Olivia, that precious little girl!
2:00 what an awesome family time.
There is no gift better than that of a child. God was good to you, your family but, especially to precious Olivia. I am a retired L&D nurse and my favorite deliveries were adoptions! Merry Christmas!
Love Happy Peoples!
Happy holidays from my mom Marilyn and pat Altman from mesa Arizona. You guys great
It is hard to believe it’s been a year since you adopted that precious little angel. No one especially you could’ve imagined how your lives have changed. You have blessed that child and she has blessed you. Thank you guys for doing such a great job with your channel and for spreading your love and kindness.
Adoption day!
I love this Chanel and all it stands for. Happiest Christmas to you all❤❤❤
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since sweet little Olivia came to live with you guys. She looks like she’s just perfect for your family. I have an adopted grandson that’s in the military now and he’s been such a blessing to us. Sending lots of love to you guys from the Appalachian mountains of East Tennessee
Your family was blessed with Livi... What a gift from God!! Merry Christmas to you all ⛄
Your family is such a huge blessing in my life. So excited about your one year adoption anniversary!!!!! Libby really won the lottery that day!!!!!! I would love to take an Alaskan cruise one day. So great to see how you raise your kids in the faith and teach them the blessings of serving others. Have a fantastic Christmas!!!!!!! Betty from Roanoke Virginia
How many of us had this adoption in our "Pray Journal ". Hard to believe a year has passed. What a blessing to her , to your family even too us. ❤❤❤❤❤
She is adorable. I can not believe it’s been a year already. I’m a single mom to 4 kids. You are so blessed to have so much family & extended family supporting you all. We love watching your vlogs.
I was just thinking, “I wonder if they’re going to mention Olivia’s anniversary of joining your family”. What an extraordinary gift she is. 🥰
As an adoptee, I have followed Olivia’s journey with great interest. It has been the perfect fit from the very beginning and I am sure it will continue to be so, God willing. 👍🏼♥️🇨🇦
We adopted our two boys from foster care at the same time. I prayed that they would move in by Christmas so we could spend the holiday as a family. Then the Lord answered that prayer and they moved in with us permanently on Dec 19th. So every year we celebrate that day by decorating cookies and I give them each a photo album of the year. We talk about how God answered my prayer. Our hope is that they will not only feel celebrated, but remember God’s faithfulness for years to come because we have marked it with a celebratory tradition.
Adoption!! 😊 I'm 60 and was adopted at 6 months. Thank you for sharing your lives with us, reminds us of our AK days. You are such a sweet family! 😊
Olivia was heaven sent!! Who, but God, could have brought a tiny baby from over 300 miles away to become an unexpected member of your family!! Merry Christmas to y'all and thank you for giving back with the random acts of kindness.❤
You invited that precious little girl into your family and let us all partake in the blessings together. Thank you, God bless you. Merry Christmas to you all.
Such a wonderful time for you . I celebrate my niece that my sister adopted and enjoy every day with her.
Sweet baby girl, what a blessing!❤Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!🎉
Hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas! Love watching all of the random acts of kindness throughout the month!
Giving your three older children a little sister and the baby a loving family who wished to raise her was the best gift of 2022. Little Olivia is one day going to learn how the true meaning of Christmas happened to her! She's a lucky child and your family received a gift from God. MERRY CHRISTMAS
It is obvious that Emily is proud of her business and state. Thank you sharing this amazing company.
Merry Christmas!! Can't believe little Olivia has been herea year already. Time goes by so fast ❤😊

As I have said before, as the biological father of an adopted girl, I love the Olivia story! I look forward to seeing what her future holds. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you for being willing to be loving adoptive parents.
Love watching your family multiply and grow!!
To think it has been a year is amazing…found your videos before you were building your house and it’s been great to see your family grow!

Just wanted to say congrats on Bert's sister's engagement, his other sister's pregnancy, and that we're thinking of and praying for his dad and mom with the recent diagnosis.

Olivia's adoption is a year old! Oh my goodness, it seems like yesterday that she was brought home to you guys. So precious. Love the vlogs and the family. Merry Christmas Somers Family :)
Olivia's biological mother couldn't ask for more beautiful people as the Somers to adopt her daughter at the time. I also find it amazing that Olivia's other family watches the videos and be able to watch her grow up.❤
This video definitely had me teary-eyed with goosebumps when the adoption was finalized.
🎉Wishing everyone a wonderful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎉
We are Happy Peoples from Utah! Enjoy your videos very much. Learned a lot about Alaska, too! Merry Christmas to all of you!
❤ it's hard to believe it's already been a year. Merry Christmas Somers family!
Alaska is definitely on our bucket list! Love your channel and all the wonderful things you do for others. God bless and keep you!❤
I cannot believe its been only a year. It is hard to imagine that Olivia hasn’t been there forever. Can’t wait until she learns to do Big Brother’s signature closing! ❤️
Merry Christmas, what a precious family you are, thank you for sharing your lives with us, Olivia is adorable
Your little daughter was adopted a year ago and she is growing up so very fast-thank you for sharing your family with ours. Love how you promote your state, small villages and local area, such unique culture and local traditions. Showcasing Alaskan makers and vendors is a real credit!
Olivia is a blessing! Cried like a baby watching this video!

Wonderful idea to share Alaskan goodies! Bowls are used as a funfaiser here to fight hunger. Bids are taken for a soup dinner, it's fantastic! Olivia is ADORABLE!!

Olivia has completed your family so beautifully. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year !
It's so fun watching Olivia growing up, sooo cute. Congratulations on your one year anniversary! Merry Christmas 🎄
Forty years ago we adopted a beautiful two month old little girl. She was born on Christmas Eve and that day is always a special one that we all celebrate. We also celebrate her adoption day which was 2 months later and brings with it it's own set of memories. As I am typing this, truth be told, I realize we celebrate every single day that she is part of our family. Her birth mother had given her the middle name of Joy and all these years later it seems almost prophetic. Congratulations on your first adoption day celebration, and we wish you many many more!
A year has flown so fast and Olivia is gorgeous. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. Love Australia 🇦🇺
What a wonderful video!! Olivia is so blessed to have y’all in her life!
Merry Christmas to you all! Hope you have a blessed day ❤
So sweet of you to share some of your beautiful state with a viewer!!
Hope you all have a Blessed and Wonder-Filled Christmas!🎄🙏🏻♥️
Appreciate you sharing your lovely family with all of us!

Happy New Year, Somers Family!
Thank You Somer’s family for doing what your doing! Edit: My parents growing up had a small celebration with me and my siblings called an “arrival day”.
