    Don't shrink back from sharing your story and encouraging foster & adoptive parents!!!! Your voice is unique and needed! Love your channel. 💕

    I watched a video from you about foster care LONG before I thought we'd ever do it. We're now foster parents with our first placement. Thank you for what you share! Definitely don't think anything is exploited on your channel. FYI 😁

    My wife and I have started taking foster care classes to become licensed after watching your videos. Glad to see a new video. :)

    Definitely don't quit! Your channel has so much amazing info for foster care and adoption...you are not exploiting your children, you are raising awareness and really helping encourage future or current foster or adoptive parents! My husband and I are really exploring both options because of channels like yours, so please don't go!

  • @Snape8808

    I don’t believe you are exploiting your children. You are creating awareness and encouraging more people to consider foster or adoption. I agree that it’s good to limit your children on your channel but I don’t believe it’s necessary to keep them off 100% if you don’t want to. There will always be people that find something wrong with anything and everything (but it doesn’t mean they are correct). I appreciate your honesty!

    I’m so thankful for you sharing your story through CZcams. We are moving into Fostercare and having people like you share helps us so much ❤️ please don’t listen to haters. You clearly have such a big heart for kid’s.

    Keep the channel. Watch crazy middles they are a positive foster and adoptive family

    Your channel and others like it really opened our minds to adopting older children. My husband and I are about to become first time parents to our daughters (ages 13 and 15). If families like yours stop sharing your stories then all we are left with is the horror stories of adoption.

    • @fromthefosters

      Congrats on your daughters! That is so wonderful!

    You're a really important channel! Other channels don't embrace and talk about diversity in their family.

  • @ritabirt8640
    @ritabirt8640 Před 3 lety

    I hope you continue sharing your life through these videos. My husband and I are fostering children and have adopted one (so far). Your channel is my go-to reference spot. I’ve learned a lot from you and appreciate everything you share. Please be encouraged and continue this channel. Blessings to you and your family.

    I subscribed because I love hearing the foster care journey from the perspective of a faithful believer. My husband and I have been waiting months to get licensed. Our church is no longer meeting in person so we haven't been able to connect with other foster families at church. Hearing your heart for the kids and hearing your continual testimonies of God's faithfulness has really helped me push through the slump of waiting. Thanks for sharing info on the journey. I don't believe your kids are being exploited. You give them the choice to be in the video and I see you'd be 100% okay if they asked for a video to be taken down.

    I always look forward to hearing your perspective on things and will still definitely follow along with your channel regardless of how much you feel comfortable with sharing your children! I don’t know you personally but know enough from watching your channel for quite a while now that whatever route you decide for your channel it will be what’s best for your kids and family! ❤️

  • @chelseywelwood22
    @chelseywelwood22 Před 3 lety +2

    You could actually look at this as a bit of twisted persecution. You have a message to deliver and the enemy wants to make you question yourself to discourage you.
    Keep the conversation open with your kids so they have a say. Maybe they want to be more or less involved. I have no doubt you already do this.
    People NEED to see real life families and their journey of stepping out Wynter. It’s inspires us.
    Bless you 😘

    You’ve helped me. I just found you about a month ago. I’ve watched almost all of your videos. I’m glad your back. Our home study is tomorrow. 😬🙂

  • @jamilsmommy
    @jamilsmommy Před 3 lety +1

    I think it can be such a slippery slope I think it’s especially difficult because you are going through a China adoption right now until it feels very close to home but I’ve never seen anything on your channel that felt even a little bit Crossed the line. And knowing how much your heart is wanting to protect your kids it shows what a good mom you are.

    Welcome back, you have been missed. Abraham went along the Gods path without knowing the exact goal, welcome to the journey. You are a great example for me

    We are currently finishing our fostering license and hope to foster and adopt someday soon. I love your channel its been so helpful through this process!

    Have you ever watched "Crazy Middles or Crazy Pieces"? They are both wonderful families who have fostered and adopted many children!

    Yay, so glad you’re back!
    You were missed💗

  • @fromthefosters
    @fromthefosters Před 3 lety

    I had been thinking about you a lot! I was wondering where you went! So glad you are back, and totally understandable about needing to take more time with your kids!
    1 out of 100 kids having an adoption dissolved is so sad and hard! I can’t imagine making a commitment to a child and then changing my mind 😩
    But I am glad you and your family are well!

    That scandle was so terrible. I was so mad because I follow channels like yours
