To all the young boys watching this. This is how a real man looks like
this is what a good person does
Amennn
A real man OH PLEASE you don't know what a real man is
@@sethrose3444 oh please and u do🤔🤔🤔
Yup 👍!!!
Forget being a “good cop,” this guy is just a good human being.
The best one
A good human being inspired by God. We should take on his example and help homeless people who have addictions.
You are 100% correct!!That's what many people don't understand.
Cops are people.
A good cop is usually going to be a good friend, good brother/sister, etc.
Usually a bad cop is also a horrible husband/wife, father/mother.
Ru Ba exactly. My opinion is that American police forces attract a disproportionate amount of people who just itch to be aggressive and brutal - but I can also acknowledge that there are truly decent and caring officers that want to do the job with humility and justice. This man is a good human, so therefore he makes a good officer. To paraphrase Wayne Dyer: “when you squeeze an orange, what comes out is orange juice, because that’s what it contains. When you are squeezed, what you contain is what comes out.” This man (and his wife) were obviously filled with mercy and selflessness. This country needs to change the kinds of officers that they hire, and stop punishing the whistleblowers trying to uphold their duty to protect the people and do the right thing.
Ru Ba I mean being a good cop is there job yes they may not be bad cops but they support and owner for the awful system
I commend the wife! She deserves more recognition. She's the one who's always left taking care of all them.
I agree mothers are superheroes !!

@@croatianmaster8178 mate being a mother is literally defined by the act of getting fked and giving birth to the child. Just cuz you got your own little definition of it doesn’t make it correct. Stop praising women for the bare minimum you imbecile

"When somebody asks for help, the person who hears is responsible". Man, that is so wise and deep.
That line alone made me cry bro
Also the words that came out of his sergeant at 12:14 "I thought my job was to teach him. I thought my job was to talk to him about getting home safe and making mom proud. But here we see this man teaching me", moved me. Officer Holets and Sergeant Edison are both great cops and great human beings.
That’s what i felt
I paid to put my little brother through rehab after my dad died and he hit rock bottom. I was the only one to listen.
Absolutely!
"When someone asks for help, the person who hears is responsible". True words.
I didn't cry until that moment. Amazing man.
Yup that definitely did not fall on deaf ears I heard that loud and clear and made me want to do better so I can help someone if I can someday.....
Yes. I always wait to see if someone else will do anything. There is never someone else and I am the one who end up helping. I hope to get rid of my codependency some time in the future and be selfish like everybody else.
paulo c All it takes is a simple NO and mean it, they’ll get the hint if you say it enough!!!
I know... but I feel remorse.
Let’s take a minute to appreciate how she wanted her baby to have a better life. She knew she wouldn’t be able to take care of the baby, so she did the right thing in that situation.
VideoEtTaceo Thank you :)
it warmed my heart when that part came up in the video.
Lara Yes, it was unselfish!!
she mama'ed up imo, and i hope that she manages to get and keep her life in order and possibly even maintain some kind of ongoing relationship with hope and the holets family.
she was shooting heroin while pregnant which can harm and even kill a baby. she didn't care about that baby nearly as much as she should have.
My husband and I adopted 6 kids out of foster care. We raised 40 foster children. We have contact with a lot of out kids. Congratulations to you and your family!!
can you adopt me
@@natalyraiderarias-ys1zc May I ask how old you are and what state do you live in.
Awe what a wonderful police officer and his kind wife to ,and the help they are given to this couple .👍🤗🙏💖🇬🇧
Please adopt me ( 27f )and my 2yr old daughter 😅
Ohhhh wow!! I always wanted to foster children but with a whole rescue farm AND my own adult kids moving back home i dont have time or bedrooms to devote to young kids right now. ..someday. .
I’m crying really like a baby. As a recovering addict, this is just.. these are incredible people. 17 months sober & never going back!
** edit, March 2023 - thank y’all so much for the loving, supportive comments! It means so much to me!! 💕 My husband & I just celebrated our 3 years clean mark in February! We DO Recover!!! ❣️🖤❣️
Being hooked on meth or crack or heroin is beyond horrible!
They can take away everything in your life.
Good for you! I can't imagine how tough it must've been, but for what it's worth I'm happy to hear it.
Keep going!!!! 💝❤️💖💗💓💞💕❣️
Congratulations, I hope you're still doing good and being strong. If not, you can always start over again. Do you remember the dad said everyone is redeemable. He's right.
CONGRATULATIONS DARLING IM SO PROUD OF YOU I KNOW HOW HARD THAT WAS BUT YOU SUCCEED
The fact that they named her Hope Crystal and included her birth Mother's name is so kind and amazing.
When my parents adopted me, they made my middle name the name of my birth mother. I am proud of that name, and I love her so much. I hope that Hope can forgive her birth mother too
METHinks it should be Crystal Meth!
Johnny Five I was gonna write that !
Is scary , almost should name her crystal meth tho
@@gt9188 deffooo
"so why would a 27 year old husband and father of 4 offer to take the baby of an addict?"
Cuz thats what heros do.
A Song In Distress he is the good part of humanity, their needs to be more people like him
Heroes*
x̴S̴w̴e̴r̴v̴ fuck off
The funny thing is there are probably so many cops that do special things every day that no one hears about bc all the media talks about is the negativity of those who protect and serve
That's what decent people do there are heroes everyday nobody ever hears about them, this guy is amazing, who else would have done this if they had the means 2 help? Not many!
Can we appreciate how they gave Hope her birth mothers name as her middle name. That’s such a loving gesture to her.
Absolutely
also gave them the name of the drug aswell x.x
@@crabodaru175 she wasn’t doing meth, it was opioids (heroin).
@@crabodaru175no she didn’t they were doing h - if your going to leave an stupid comment at least know what ur talkin abt
@@scarlettroses5136 okay bruther man it was supposed to be a joke XD
And I really don't care to educate myself about drugs when Iam in no way interested in it.
People like Crystal are almost always painted as evil, horrible people, but something must have happened to get her in that situation in the first place. Three years later, I hope the baby is doing well and is healthy and happy, and Crystal is able to spend more time with her daughter.
People have this idea that addiction is a simple choice. A choice that only bad people make. But truth be told, there are a million and one ways someone can fall into addiction and it can happen to anyone. It’s easy to believe it can never happen to you or anyone around you, but addiction is far more common then people realize. Cause some people also forget that drugs aren’t the only form of addiction either.
He was so confident in his wife’s selflessness, enthusiasm, kindness and heroism - that he didn’t even ask her first - that’s beautiful
He knows her! He knew she would be excited! Incredible couple with a lot of harmony!
It's amazing to see such a well functioning relationship, and to help a little one in need and they're birth parents is amazing
un heard of. He is luckiest Man, as she is Woman
b ray nobody said hero, it says heroism which is a word of its own that is associated with audacity and spirit. No he isn’t say a war hero, but he sure is that kids hero/saviour (litteraly). On the other hand, you’re here deciding what counts as heroic when you yourself have never done anything remotely close to even daring.
@@novanae7799 He is not lucky. He is a follower of Jesus and so is his wife. Their marriage is built on a firm foundation.
"When somebody asks for help, the person who hears is responsible"
That quote alone defines his character!! What a great man!
I agree with you 100%.
#Exactly
Amen 🙂
My eyes..they they wont stop. Please just give me the depressing shit I'm used to. It's like being with mr doorknob and the dodo
Certainly
Here I am, 22 weeks pregnant with my first child. It's a girl and I'm literally in tears! God bless them all! 🥺♥️😭
i truely hope you guys are safe and happy right now!
How are you and your little girl doing? 💕
I grew up with 3 brothers and no sisters, I really hope I have 2 daughters and maybe a son too.
Congratulations on your toddler
"When somebody asks for help, the person who hears is responsible." Just like that me and my whole family was moved to tears
I LOVE that they helped the parents as well not just take the baby say “good luck”
@@cuppatae834 jesus christ let people believe what they want to believe. literally 6 of the 7 members of bts are Christian what are you going to say to them?
@Julie W. "All goodness cometh from the lord"
Okay... Does your god control the affairs of the entire universe? If he doesn't then he is NOT omnipotent. If he doesn't control and will the evil you see in this world then he isn't a god by the description given in your own Bible. What I'm saying is: if god doesn't will evil to happen then that discredits him from being the god you worship. How can god be all good AND omnipotent in a world where evil exists?
@Joyce Woodruff dude are you serious keep your religious bullshit to yourself
@@cuppatae834 1) you could have replied in a nicer way 2) Respect peoples beliefs and let them be.
@@cuppatae834 Just suggesting these things. No need to be rude. Have a nice day 😊
"When someone asks for help, the person who hears it is responsible for helping" I respect that mentality
I took that to heart. I really enjoy helping others, it is powerful, and that quote is exactly right. I am going to try to be more aware
soli Sanchez as far as drugs go, environment is everything. U can come from a good home and still have trauma or depression. But I think she'll be fine
Sadly most people go into the indifference of good men, when scary things are happening.
hey bro can you come help me move this saturday?
You know, that's actually a law in poland xd
I'm watching this again. I'm so happy for the baby. She won't suffer in a foster home being molested and abused now. So many kids say they're abused in foster homes. This is so nice and loving
Wow this officer and his wife are the true definition of unconditional love. They are so far up in the spiritual climb. We should all follow more individuals like them instead of getting caught up in nonsense that only divide us.
But are they saved?
I love that they made the baby's middle name crystal
The methest of names

Wife Rebecca deserves as much credit as him, and he'd probably be the first to say it.
Definitely. How true.
Can a man not force to give.......Damn.
@Ling Ling the mother was crystal meth the baby was dope
What an amazing man. And his equally amazing wife. This is a hero. Not a celebrity. Now he has another child to feed, clothe and take care of and he only considered the urgent need. Truly amazing.
My Father was a police officer in Albuquerque, years ago. But I have a feeling that he was a monster. He was in our home……a monster. Good for this gentleman. He’s a hero and I applaud him.
My story exactly. My father was a Albuquerque Police Officer when I was born. But my dad was horrible and I have a feeling that he was fired. He passed about 5-6 years ago. Not one person has shed a tear, especially me, since his death. I still wish I could get the real story from APD about him.
Can we not only appreciate the officer and his wife, but Crystal herself? She is an addict, BUT she knows that the baby deserves more than she can give her, and seems like a good person that got stuck in a hard place. I hope she continues her sobriety. And Crystal, if by some miracle you see this comment, you are wonderful for giving your baby to such wonderful people. I hope nothing but the best for you and your family. 💚
Yes she did something amazing and yes she did fuck up her baby but I am sorry it isn’t as easy as ppl want to think it’s so hard but I can tell you it can happen and none of my addiction had been done thru my pregnancy and I did the best thing I could not to see my baby go thru what I can’t and I know it is not my baby fault
She did an awesome thing
@@nikikramerfreeman1803 Then get an abortion! What was the point of carrying to term and making a fetus suffer for 9 months???
@@minxymoo2325 see the thing is, not everyone believes in abortions. Every one's opinions differ and some people carry the guilt. In her case, the baby is healthy and fine and now has a happy family. It may not seem like a big deal, but it takes a lot for someone to give up a child they have carried while battling their demons. So I can respect her.id advise you do the same or get out of my comment thread. Then again your most recent comments are all complaining. So is that your personality trait?😹😹😹
@@minxymoo2325 you would rather her kill the baby?? As if thats not just as bad? You know what they say. The people who are for abortion are already born. I bet if you asked that baby, that baby would want to at least have a chance at life. Some people, even though they're in a messed up place, still want to give that child a chance. You can't blame them for that.
Mom of five .. no way.. she looks like a college student.. God is so pleased with her kindness that he Has blessed her with beauty
¿?
@Julie W. I just googled Barbie and ken killers and they are not beautiful 😂😂😂 typical hillbilly couple nothing special.
Julie W. Just cause your blessed with beauty doesn’t mean that you will always do good.
God doesn’t determine looks. Genetics do.
Amen, I agree.
I just came across this amazing story today. America needs more stories like this instead of all the evil that's blasted on television and social media . It's heart warming and so very special. God bless this couple and all of their children. "A servant's heart" powerful description.
I’m a recovering addict. I did it all by myself as my family and friends deserted me. I would’ve given anything to have just anyone take my hand and offer help. When you’re in your addiction it’s almost impossible to help yourself, and honestly I don’t know how I did it! He is an amazing person!!! 🙏🏽
Keep going❤ you should be so proud of yourself!!🎉🎉
God that's how you did it he loves you very much congrats!
You are blessed . Lots of people you'll never meet are praying for you ..🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤❤❤
Big congrats king. Work hard and avoid anything that put you back in that place because it isn't worth it. God has your back king.
They named her "Hope Crystal" they still kept a part of the baby's biological mother with her😭💞💗
Crystal meth lmao
Porscha Deanfield heartless !!
Porscha Deanfield Jesus Christ

People forget that an addict is still a person, You dunno what got them to that point! Be kind.
Thank you for this. Thats love #formeraddict
@@mentalhealthwarriors5015 Same here. Glad you're free from addiction too! Keep up the good work!
Homeless people need this same type of kindness also
Frances Ottewill No truer words spoken. Thanks
Love it...💖
we need more human kindness like this
Then we as a people and as individuals need to affect that change and become that of which we admire and respect as I do with this officer and his beautiful family.
You know, Crystal has resolve...she was willing to admit that she did something wrong to her unborn baby and wanted her baby to have a better life than with her. Props to her strength and honesty, and I hope she gets the help she needs.
I know everyone’s praising the guy and he deserves it. But like, can we talk about his wife? Like she is such an Angel, to just accept that like “okay” without even thinking about it. Like their relationship is amazing and she obviously trusts him a lot and she’s just cute in general in appearance and in soul. They are such a blessed couple.
She is soooo sweet 🥰. He's so lucky.
so true, they're both literal angels.
Such a wonderful couple.
Thats what happy couples do. My sister in law came out of class (college) and her mom called and told her a friend's friend is losing her child due to drugs and if she want to adopt the baby and without hesitation she said "yes". She later went home told her husband they are adopting and he says "okay" lol. After the adoption of baby girl, two years after to be exact, the baby has a sibling, baby boy.... now adopted by my brother and sister in law. Its stressful but worth it. My niece and nephew are so adorable and amazing ❤.
@@Baybieangel209 There's a huge difference between asking and springing it on her. Welcoming a new baby is a big responsibility, and "happy couples" need to include each other in major life-changing decisions like this. Even if he knows his wife and knows that she'd be willing to adopt, he should have at least checked with her out of respect (and to hear any concerns) before making the offer, instead of agreeing to adopt and then TELLING her that he'd made the decision on behalf of both of them. I understand that in the moment he was likely very emotional and might not have thought that much, but making major decisions without your spouse's input not something that we should be glorifying by any means.
Her middle name is Crystal, after her birth mother. Incredibly moving.
Noticed that as well! Loved this so much
❤️
...
Like...
Crystal meth?
K Eck right that as well.....
Or after crystal meth.
As a child who was raised by parents who are addicts, this is so......heartwarming.
Very touching that they are still helping the birth parents... And also that they included the mother's name as well
“When someone asks for help, the person who hears is responsible.”
That hit home
That is something to ponder on daily
Not if you have super hearing
Yee0j why do you say that?
@Yee0j No, sometimes you just can't manage alone and often it is very hard to ask for help. This guy has a high internal moral motivation which is inspiring and literally makes a change for others.
and the one who heard, is the loser hehe
Tbh if my husband came home and said “I met a stranger and were adopting her baby” I would have been like “word? K”
Miya Payne “ Word? I’m down “ LMAO I LOVE IT !!
Mood lmao 😂
Right!
Yeah I would be like “seems like a great idea, I’m in babe! Where’s the baby?” Since I love having kids I would be soooo happy lol😂
i’d be like “aight”
" I was the one hearing her" - 😭💙
The fact that they made her middle name, the Bio Moms name😢 The grace they have shown is so inspiring
His imitation of his wife’s ‘okay!’ is so adorable
YES! :)
I cried 🤧
thats how you can tell how much he loves her. We need more of his kind.
YES SO TRUE
His face just lit up. So cute
I was afraid that helping the addicted couple would end when the baby was born, but they continued to help them and they became sober. Wonderful story.
that's what made me happy the most, the fact they believed that the couple could be redeemed and get better. and they did help them! and I'm so happy for that
S.M.P. Newstead haha i gave u ur 1k like 💗
It is nice that the birthmom and dad has a chance to see her grow up and also for Hope to see them later in life if she wants. OMG such a wonderful story. Little baby Hope.
@Nikol S. Ervant Sobriety is the state of not being under the influence of any mind-altering substance. Similar is how "driving under the influence" may refer to alcohol or any other mind-altering substance. The psychiatric field definitely does not use the term "clean," because the opposite of that is dirty. "Junkie" is quite pejorative and dehumanizing too. Nice try at being condescending.
Thank you for saying sober instead of “clean”. We aren’t dirty - it’s actively using and we aren’t clean - we’re in recovery or sobriety.
5 years and counting in long term recovery from opiate use disorder and working with moms actively using, seeking recovery and/or in long term recovery 💜
#RecoveryIsPossible
Im so glad they found hope. She fits right in and the fact that they are still helping the biological parents is truly a blessing
That biological mother has gone viral before, I’m sure I’ve seen the same face and she was homeless then too. Don’t know if they scammed this couple or what
What a caring cop & how precious of him & his wife adopting Hope. A beautiful daughter. 😍
May you have many happy years ahead of you ❤
"When somebody asks for help, the person who hears is responsible." This phrase is so beautiful.
Exactly. Opened up my eyes.
Its beautiful ye. But also not really true :) you cant be responsible for other peoples bad decisions. You can choose to Help if you can, of course
Wth i read that at the same time 👌👌👌
@@MrPeteDane But it is still true though, the one who hears someone crying for help is responsible, then has to make a decision wether to help or turn to the other side, the point is that he/she heard and can't unhear, whatever choice he/she makes
@@MrPeteDane dont have to be so literal its obvious what he meant
Opioid addiction is very real. We must stop judging others and help instead
@C H it's not always a choice. People are prescribed medicines by the doctor that they trust, and become addicted. Eventually the pills aren't enough and they move on to stronger things....from the streets. Nobody wakes up and says "today im going to become an addict and spend the rest of my life in misery." 🙄 Even for those who did choose to use opiates the first time, are they not deserving of help just because they made a bad choice? Have you never made a bad decision? The wrong decision? Trust me, it only takes 1 or 2 times of using heroin to become addicted to it. That quick, a person finds themselves trying to get more bc they literally feel like their body is going to shut down if they don't. All because of the one bad decision. Again, nobody wakes up dreaming of becoming an addict and living that lifestyle. I sure hope that you or someone you care about never has a bad day and makes that bad decision. The way things are going in the world today with addiction, it is *very* possible and *very* likely that addiction will hit close to home for you, and I hope no one turns their nose up at your family/friend and says "you shouldn't have chosen to abuse opiates." That would really suck. 😬🤷
It's really, really, really easy to get addicted to pain pills.. been there, done that..
D D And the western governments . The amount of illegal drugs on the streetsdon't get into western countries through mules!
When you have a baby in your stomach and continue to love your shitty life, you deserve to be told the truth of what you’re doing. If you wanna call it judgement, then you’re very weak
I grew up knowing not to touch hard drugs. Tough life, many hardships but still knew the rules of addiction. Person choice is what it is and I have seen the devastation and so many deaths and lives destroyed so STFU. DON'T TAKE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I wish I had neighbors like this officer and his beautiful family. Just going to bed at night and waking up the next morning would be made brighter (knowing) I was in close proximity to true goodness.
This couple are amazing for helping the birth parents too.
Noone plans to be an addict.
I hope my son pulls thru it too.
I have the most admiration for them
All this hate on cops lately, this goes to show there are genuinely good people behind that badge and we shouldn't judge an entire force.
Facts

This was on the Dr.Phil show she got help and is now clean!! This officer is a blessing 🙏🙏
Do you know what episode? I'd like to watch it.
I don't know the link... This was awhile ago I saw it... I looked on here for it and couldn't find it so it may have been on the dr.phil FB page..
I was wondering what happened to her. Thanks for sharing.
I hope the couple does the right thing & gives the baby back to her mother. Adoption causes absolute trauma. The Primal Wound isn't just a book.
Great to hear. Thank you for sharing the information.
For the couple that gave birth to Hope, I pray that they can live a meaningful life and just shine and grow and still be part of Hope’s life as well.
This is what a REAL MAN looks like. I hope. That Hope and family are well and the bio parents are still clean healthy and thriving

As a Recovering addict This touched my heart so much.
I can’t stop crying.it’s wonderful what you and your wife did for this baby😊
"When somebody asks for help, the person who hears is responsible."
my mom word every day
Very true! If you see someone very desperate for help HELP THEM!! ☹️
Sometimes they have to help themselves first before you can help them. Are you gonna help a beggar? Knowingly you only gave them money so they can buy more drugs?
@@stefalexandra6127 🤢 you and your lack of humanity and empathy is truly SICKENING!! If these people could help themselves and heal themselves I am sure they would! They have given up on themselves and life.... so how are they supposed to 'hElP tHeMsElfEs'?!! You really need to EDUCATE yourself and stop making stupid, ignorant comments. I surely hope that you or your loved ones don't end up in this situation because I wouldn't wish it on anyone!
And to answer your question, yes! I have given a panhandler (not 'beggar') money knowing damn well what they were probably going to use it for but that is not my business. I do it because I care about their suffering and that they are a HUMAN being who deserves to be seen and cared about!!
@@pelviselvis3421 judging by your emotional response you lack clarity. I only made one comment prior to my original message. This is the real world. Not everyone can help themselves and you're the problem if you think it makes you a good person just because you gave them money knowingly they would use it for drugs. You say it's not your responsibility but the fact that you gave that person money makes it your business. If someone wants something they have to put in the work instead of just hoping someone would give them money for their addiction. I like to thank you for twisting my response because your entire comment was done out of emotion. What the OP said implies everyone has to help because those people are asking for help and you heard them. But that's not always the case hence why I said what I said.
I wish they would do an update now and let us see where the baby and the parents and the birth parents are at now!
Kepping up with hope the new E! Series
Just stop
The mother is clean now edition.cnn.com/2018/07/06/health/police-officer-adopts-baby-addicted-mom-update/index.html
They dont seem like they want this attention, so I doubt that will ever happen. But the child has problems for sure! ALL heroin babies wil have problems forever. So sad!!
psyopus syzygy why? They (at least the mother) were nice people and truly cared about the baby having a good life, they’ve also been off drugs m so...
Yes this officer is what we need. He seen someone in help and offered everything he could to ensure they’d be safe their child included. He’s an amazing man and I hope his family has many more blessings to come.
This couple with servant hearts just showed the world what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus ! No judgment, sacrificial love, and mercy for those in need. Blessings from the Lord to your family !!!
I adore the way he lights up when he talks about his wife saying “okay”. It shows that they are truly compassionate loving people ☺️ what a wonderful story.
They’re so in love
@@organicallyhannah some people never fine love. Let alone love like that
Yes. You can see his utter admiration for her. It was so beautiful that I rewound it
too bad they are completley outnumbered by a**holes and indifferent people (yes, there are good people; just, obviously look around you, not enough)
@@Aaron-gt6xn Yeahhh, the kind that some (well most tho they won't admit) can only hope & pray to find. At least I do.....always have. Like soulmates u knw; now not so much😅...tbh I lost faith in human beings . Though still love to see it😍
Treat them like a medical patient and not a criminal, and this is the kind of thing that happens. This man did his job well.
Absolutely. The couple weren’t violent or trying to get away, they were just suffering, and this cop gave them what they truly needed at the moment: compassion. Not everything needs to be solved with a bullet, and I WISH that was the norm with cops instead of the exception.
@@gothicMCRgirl that's the norm for everyone except black people.
How many times are people going to repeat some body else's comments for likes???????🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄
@@glennkometscher7928 paid bots. Like lots of these comments.sometimes I feel like all of this internet is s simulation and we really aren't talking to others. Except in direct interactions we purposely seek and can validate in reality. Like these comments are just a giant AI. Occasionally I get a reply to either challenge or support my idea. Even if I'm just being facetious I still get replies costed in genuine concern.
@Alec Jeffs It is more like a judgement call. Not everyone is the same.
We NEED more People like them in this world ! Love this family. Even though I live in Canada, should they ever need help, I will be there for them. Blessings to them all...
Well, on a cop's salary, and having five kids, you COULD help with some cash.
Such a beautiful baby. I’m happy the officer came just in time to rescue her.
They are true Christians. They’re not the “Oh yeah, we’re Christian.” What a beautiful example to all of us.
Wtf lmao
Ana pio what? Why the “wtf” and the“lmao” ??
For sure
What does Christianity have to do with it? There are millions of Christians who didn’t step up to help - can you not just label them as wonderful people with an amazing sense of Humanity? I’m an Atheist who would do the very same thing if presented with the need for help.
Ryan and Rebecca walk the walk and talk the talk. As Narissa Knight said - they are helping Tom and Crystal not ony by adopting Hope (who is a cutie) but also helping the birth parents as well. Ryan and Rebecca must be people of faith.
To tell your wife that you’re adopting just say, “honey I’m pregnant” 🤣
cute
🤣🤣
that’s funny 😆
What amazing humans they are. Hope hit the adoptive parent jackpot! I pray she lives a very good life.
What a Blessing for her Baby! This is what Humanity Looks Like.
I want a husband like him 😭😭
@@youdontwantthesecrumbs3996 I think you're father doesn't love you.
@@irishabella3350 I don't think anyone loves your chunky, pale skin looking fuggly ass lol!!!
Same 😥
Robert Felp hun r u on drug?
Lily. Hope the grammar your using makes you look like your on drugs
Damn I wish my birth mother was like this, kept shooting up with me, I was born addicted and I was taken away by the state at 6 months. My birth mother still doesn’t realize that you can’t be an addict and a mother. 21 years later she’s back in jail doing the same thing.
Sarah Hudson I'm sorry to hear that. Looks like you turned out splendidly!
Sarah Hudson I am so sorry to hear that but You turned out amazing
You are drop. Dead pretty we share the same story remember we are survivors🙏🙏🙏🙏 stay strong
So sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine a world without my mom. God bless you!!!
Same here I was born addicted and my mom is back in jail
This is really sad, over 4 years in recovery, I will tell you it isn't easy. She is doing her best and I will pray for her safety.
We adopted our youngest son, whose birth mother was an addict. If you’re looking to adopt, don’t be afraid to take on one of these children, they may need a little extra help, but they will bring you joy. All of our children bring us happiness but he is the joy of our family, he’s the youngest, and he is surrounded and protected by all of us. He is successful and thriving, he doesn’t have any issues as far as behavior or substance abuse attraction. He’s actually a very humble, kind and funny guy, we love him so much.
Ok First, This Man is amazing and the true definition of a Policeman 👮 Second, Bless his wife who I imagine wasn’t surprised because she knows her Husbands Heart, she accepted it with excitement, and Third thank you Jesus for bringing the Mother and Ryan together to assure the baby will have a loving family and hopefully initiative to the Mother to seek help for her addiction! Amazing Story!
Amen to that ! The Lord put him right there for that reason that day❤️God's plans are always better then anything we can try to plan for our lives ❤️
First, Thank you Jesus 🙏🏾
Amen🙏🙏🙏
All part of the perfect plan...
I don’t believe in god but I agree and I heard that crystal and Tom got help for their addiction and are living happy lives
I live in Albuquerque and I did not hear about this. It's sad that our media is full of politics and crime. Thank you for shedding some light on our city. We need this.
Darian Vigil Agreed.
We really do were having a really hard time here in abq
Some people say they are just one couple but they can inspire others to help others and here in America too we got plenty of people in need with problems that maybe we could help
@@zoeanjoli9037 aqa
You really think that its everyone business? What if you're dope head with this same situation? You want the whole city to know? Doubt it. Highly doubt it.
Put in the right place at the right time,saving three lives.Absolutely beautiful.
There is so much good and meaning in this story. In a dark world where charity is lacking, where babies are discarded like trash, where the addicted and down trodden are cast out, this policeman and his wife's actions shine light. The light draws us in and we remember what charity and love are all about. It plants a good seed and reflects the beauty of God. God bless this young officer and his wife. May God's light always shine down upon this wonderful family.
Or aborted.
“so why did a 27 year old cop-“
WHAT
27
WHAT
I know his so younge, good man.
He looks older than 27 I was taken aback when they said his age too...He looks at least 35. But also 4 kids by 27, he started young if the oldest was 4 he was 23 as a first time dad...you dont see many men now a days who are that young stick around let alone want even more that close together.
It's because he's balding.. if he shaved his head completely he would look 27
vianjelos he appears to be from a religious background. That’s probably a big factor
Yeah, he’s a very young man. It’s amazing that the wisdom and intelligence he has at this age is more than what people acquire in their lifetime. Great fella
"I know my wife. I know she'll say, yes." ❤️
This blows my mind. Such an amazing couple. Let's stop judging each other and start thinking instead how can we help each other. I love this
I love that he decided hope crystal was her name, he's including her birth mother in her name and his wife is as amazing as he is. You can see the love they have for this perfect little girl and each other. The world would be a better place with more people like you two.
Look how his eyes soften and sparkle and his smile recalling his wife's reaction.
nolacsanail my heart 🥺
When he talked about his wife, he was smiling like crazy and idk that just made me go “🤬💕❤️💗💖💗💗💕💕❤️💗💗❤️❤️💕💕❤️💗💖💖😌”
This dude seriously loves his wife to death. It’s so cute 🥺
I wish someone loved me like that 😒
@@HeavyMetalKittenx no,no people love you.you just single
It's because their both selfless, pretty rare these days to have people who truly are..
Everybody, wants to *be* loved like that, but rarely wants to love someone els like that.(cause of greed, vanity, pride and jealously)
Couple sent from heaven 🙏💞💗💕
As a 53 year old woman that is unable to have children. Nor have I ever had the privilege to be called mom or hold a child I cried watching this. They make adopting so difficult it spins your head around.
So glad this child is in good hands and not living in a bad situation.
Balling my eyes, they deserved that standing ovation 👏🏽 and that family deserves just everything amazing that life has to offer for being selfless and kind hearted people. I hope Hope can grow up to be a healthy and amazing person like the people who adopted her. Wishing this family all the best.
This is what "Protect and Serve" means. We need more cops like this...especially now.
We NeED moRe CoPs LiKe ThiSS!!! You're pathetic. One bad cop out of how many? Gee, I wish there was a word for when someone generalizes a group of many based on the actions of one.... Hmmm
@@uFCapacitor Except they aren't. They are simply saying that we need good cops, since some (Keep in mind, some, not all), are corrupt humans who abuse of their power.
Outgoing Shyguy well every race experience that buddy.
Yes...he definitly protected baby Hope and served by helping her mother to better herself by giving her worth and confidence...
More ppl like these
"Everyone is lost to a certain point, and everyone is redeemable" words of wisdom 🙏 His wife is an angel
💜 my favorite part
We need humans like them
This is just the BEST.. you are AMAZING... To help the parents and not judge and look down on them. To help them become the best they can be. This makes my heart so happy. ♥️♥️. We need more people like you and your wife. May God bless you and your family for eternity. ♥️
Just flat out cried my eyes out! 💜💜💜 Wish them all the best!
People just assume that all drug addicts and people like her are just bad but she’s just a lost souls who can’t get off these horrible chemicals, so if you see someone like this just know that they need help not punishment
its illegal for a reason
NewtslayerProductions yeah. Look at RDJ! He used to be an addict, and with the help of his amazing wife he turned his life around and did an amazing job as iron man. :)
Kate A. Even obama did drugs!
Anisa Farah Obama smoked weed, he didn’t do heroine and meth . Lmao
Martha Banks When I was a teenager I used drugs, I drank, I pretty much tried whatever was out there.” These are his exact words and thats what i stated i dont really know what but he said he did drugs lfmao get your facts straight
I was adopted and I don’t remember my parents.. but I was blessed with a family that loves me like their own and this made me cry this is amazing
Have you try looking for ur biological parents??
What A Guy. You can tell how genuine he is. Be like him!!
That’s a good man and his wife is amazing as well . I hope Crystal can get clean and have a good life one day. A wife like that is one in a million , reminds me of mine. Bless your wife brother and you as well. Fine policeman and human being. This is so amazing and makes my heart happy for Hope !!
