- Thank you to everyone who has been keeping up with our family and praying for Ryker's birth. He was born Tuesday night. Lydia and Ryker are both doing great. We 're taking these first few weeks to rest and adjust to newborn life.
We were hoping to share his birth story today, but sadly we are not able to get it edited and posted this week due to other things going on. But we should have that ready by next Saturday.
This week we wanted to take a moment and share something personal that Lydia and her family have been dealing with recently. We hope this video will explain a little more about the Romeike family’s legal difficulties.
This is very personal to us and we want to ask for everyone to pray for her family as we try and find a solution in the next few weeks.
Thank you so much for watching!
-Trace & Lydia + Ryker🤍
Here are some of the past interviews talking about more of the details of their families case.

Praying for you and Lydia and her family! 🙏🏼 Congratulations on adorable Ryker! 🎉
Congratulations on the new baby boy!! Praying for the whole family! ❤️🙏🏼
Yall should have filed paperwork as soon as yall got married to change her status. If you didn't then she definitely could be sent back. If the government is asking for passports that is exactly what will happen. If they don't have a court order before return date from a federal judge they could hold everyone is custody until there travel arrangements are planned and they will be taken to the airport and put on a plane with a 1 way ticket out of the country! Idk why someone did not tell you long before now what paperwork to file to keep her safely here. Because technically she is still under care of her OBGYN for 6 weeks after the birth! So if for no other reason than a medical reason she should be able to stay. You need to call an immigration lawyer asap! Dont trust someone else she is not under her parents being over 18 and now married she is on her own.
Praying for all Lydia’s family❤. Special prayer for your little family of 3. God is good!❤
Praying for you all. ❤❤❤ Also so happy to hear Lydia and Ryker are both doing great :)
Praying for all of you! Ryker is a beautiful baby! 💙
Praying for the entire Romieke family and I am so sorry you are dealing with this right after the birth of Ryker. Praying for this whole situation!! So unfair!! Congratulations on the birth of Ryker and his healthy birth weight!
Love and pray for all. You both are such a blessing showing your love for each and now baby Ryker ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I just emailed this vlog plus the 2 videos that you shared here of the wonderful Romeike family with our adult children and have asked them to share this with others. I think that this needs to be shared all around our country so that you will have countless people fighting right along with you. I hope all of your Bates siblings and your parents will do the same, along with getting their churches involved too! I'm all fired up about this now. WE ALL NEED TO HELP! Prayers and love f or you all forever!
yes, share with heritage foundation. They are trying to force the Biden immigrations hand on opening up that so called prince's paperwork...he probably lied about drug use, and the Biden people are trying to keep his paperwork private.
I agree 100% 👍🏻
I wonder if their channel has anything to do with it all? I mean she’s putting herself out there and there’s gotta be haters out there towards her or his family, or just plain persecution going on. But it’s possible someone could have reported them
@@dccd673 There sure are haters out there simply because they are Christians, but reported them for what? They check in with immigration every year as required, and immigration knows where they live.
I'm just curious why they didn't go over to France or another European country where homeschooling is permitted and keep Germany as their primary residence? Germany is a very nice democratic country.
Homeschooling is no longer legal in France except in limited circumstances subject to harsh autorizations
Our family is praying for this situation. Congratulations on the birth of Ryker
Prayers for you guys.❤ And all of Lydia’s precious family.
CONGRATULATIONS on baby Ryker! What a treasured blessing for your family! Your sister, Alyssa Bates Webster's father-in-law, Daniel Webster, is our Congressman here in Florida. John and his siblings were all home schooled as are all the grandchildren in the family. Congressman Webster is as honest as they come and is such a trusted politician. I think that you, Lydia, and your in-laws need to reach out for his help. Maybe we can get everyone in Congress and the Senate, on both sides of the aisle, to help the whole family become U.S. citizens! What can we do? I have been housebound and recliner/bedbound for 9 years. I can't use up much energy at a time, but there must be something that my husband. Mike, and I can do to help your family. You all have our prayers, but there must be more. I am sure that everyone here that follows you and your family will do anything to help you all. Please let us know. Sending daily and nightly prayers, loads of love, and gentle hugs from Donna Gulyas in Florida. P.S......I will be more than happy to work with Congressman Webster to fight for your cause.....for U.S. citizenship for Lydia and her siblings, and parents.
Will you call Congressman Webster's office first thing Monday ?
@@marten779 I was thinking more along the lines of....The government told them they could have indefinite asylum then changed what they said. If only the attorney had listened to Mr. Romeike and gotten it in writing, they wouldn't have this problem now. Tell Congressman Webster to look into this and hold someone accountable for the discrepancy.
Perhaps Congressman Webster can be a voice for ALL asylum seekers and immigrants seeking to build a better life in the US.
@@ga6589 If we think about what you've aid here, is that really best? Violent, convicted criminals, gang members, and sex traffickers are included in ALL.
@@DennisJohnsonDrummer Of course, I didn't include them, because there are already laws on the books that are designed to prevent criminals and sex traffickers from being granted asylum.
I dont get it. As EU citizens you have the right to move and live in Ireland. The right to educate your children in whichever way you deem is written into Ireland's constitution. So why entangle yourselves with all these legal complications when you could solve all your problems today by moving to Ireland?
Can I ask how you feel about illegal immigrants pouring across the border right now?
Congratulations to you all. And I wish you all the best, and I hope all that is resolved for you and for the rest of Lydia's family.
Congratulations on Ryker. I am sorry that you guys and Lydia's family is going through all this stress. I am sending prayers.
Congratulations on the baby!!!!🎉 I pray God works everything out for you all!!!
So sorry you all are going through this! My prayers for Lydia, you and the whole family. I’m so very sorry! Praying fervently for a quick resolution! 🙏🏻
Congratulations on your new beautiful baby praying for Lydia and her family 🙏❤
I will be praying for all of the family!!! 🌼🌼🌼
I prayed for the Romeike family years ago and it's a privilege to pray for them - and your family - again. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Congratulations on baby Ryker!
As fellow DACA, I know what you feel like to have your future in limbo. But yeah, that whole following the law and assimilating to the community, like that's every other DACA two, and that's what I'm talking about reworking the immigration system so as long as you haven't committed a serious crime you can come to America, like her family.
True, you need to follow the law.
But I understand that Trace marked uo the capital on Jan 6th.
Maybe this is why all this is happening?
Praying for Lydia and her family. And for your little family.
m so sorry that you are all; going through this. You will all be in my thoughts & prayers. Congratulations on the safe & healthy delivery of your beautiful baby.
I’m lifting you guys up in prayer Trace as I’m watching this video my heart is burdened for this precious family if they are doing what God is leading them to do I promise you God has the last say!! I pray that God is already stepping on the scene and working it out! Congrats on baby Ryker he’s gorgeous!!!❤❤
Do you pray for other illegal immigrants?
God may forgive our mistakes and wants us to come as we are but he does not change what the laws are in the United states when you brake them, they were asked to leave in 2014 and they didn’t, if they would have been law abiding they would have left applied for visas and would have had a good chance at getting them versus now they have no chance. Thats why its a good idea to make sure you have the right council and your fallowing the laws.
I’ll be praying for all your family. Too much stress at this beautiful moment in your lives. Congratulation on Ryker!
I realized, the last time you talked about Lydia’s family situation, who they were. I was homeschooled & now homeschool my children, so my ears perk up when I hear stories about homeschooling families. I remember when they came to the US seeking religious asylum. I signed petitions, prayed for them, & followed the story. I remember wondering if her family was “the family” I had prayed for so many years before, when I heard different things about them throughout your courtship & marriage. That’s so cool that I’m getting to know more about them on a more detailed level now. I will put them & you on my prayer list again. Believing that God is taking care of this whole situation.
I will continue to keep yall and prayer and And Lydia's family.❤🙏🏻
I can understand that you want to stay in the US. It's your home now. It's were your family is. The only two people who are resposible are Lydia's parents. The children should not be in the deportation case.
Don't be to much afraid.
Germany is a good country. Public schools provide good education and are safe. I live in a town close to where Lydia's family came from. Life is good here.
Lydia's parents went against the law when they were not sending their kids to school.
That's why the police brought them to school. I'm sure there were a lot of calls and letters from the school and government before that.
What happens with Lydias two youngest siblings. Do they get German citizenship or at least "unbefristeten Aufenthalt" if you move to Germany? They need to stay with their parents.
My prayers are with you both and her Family 🙏🙏
My heart goes out to you both and the entire family. I don’t understand this at all. I can only imagine how hard this is for all of you. Just keep focusing on your beautiful new baby boy. I have already been praying and I will continue to pray for you. I know everyone will be praying. God bless you and your beautiful little family. ❤
If only they would have followed our immigration laws 😢 now we need to come together and support these illegal immigrants 🙏
So happy to hear all went well with baby Ryker and Lydia. Y’all he is so cute! You know y’all have a army fighting with this deportation with you. We love y’all and Lydia’s family is part of y’all so they are loved also. It’s not fair it’s unjustifiably wrong. Prayers prayers prayers and love always! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
This is horrifying! We serve a mighty God who can turn this situation around. We are sorry you guys are going through this. Our family will pray for this beautiful family. 🙏🏼♥️
AMEN THAT'S RIGHT!! Out God is mighty He do anything!!
Amen.
Amen
Oh no. Will be praying for you all. Ryker is so handsome.

Praying for Lydia and her family. We serve a mighty God and He can turn this whole situation around!! Enjoy baby Ryker he is precious!!
Praying for the family! Congratulations on the little one!
So sorry!! Will be praying for you guys!
Praying for God to move in the hearts of the right person or people to show favor to Lydia and her family. Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful son!
Unfortunately God doesn’t look with flavor on people who disobey the law. This family has orders to self deport. It’s time to obey the law and go…
Praying for you and Lydia’s family.
Trace, you and Lydia have a beautiful son. Congratulations! We know we serve a powerful God and I will be praying that He hold you, Lydia, and Ryker and Lydia's family in His protective hands.
Congratulations on your baby boy! I AM SENDING YOU LOTS OF LOVE AND PRAYERS! WE HAVE AN AWESOME GOD THAT WE WORSHIP AND SERVE WHO CAN PERFORM MIRACLES IN OUR LIVES!
Congratulations on your sweet baby boy Lydia is going to be OK. She will become a citizen. Prayers for all three of y’all.❤ he’s so cute. Have a blessed Saturday night.❤
I like you guys, and think your pretty great people, but The Obama administration just said that wanting to home school wasn’t reason enough for seeking asylum. When there are brown people from war/drug torn countries trying to seek asylum for actual safety and for having any safe education at all. So please, just be the Christian person you are and allow the same grace and acceptance for all people trying to seek asylum. Her beautiful white, Christian family doesn’t deserve special asylum simply for wanting to homeschool over others trying to live a better life away from horrible crimes. They need to be grateful they weren’t drown in a river in barbed wire. Just do some research, think through everything you say and what you want for your family. Keep that same energy for others families.
Congratulations!!🎉 Baby Ryker is so precious!🩵Praying for all of you🙏🏻
You all are in my prayers.I’m so glad your adorable son and wife made it through the birthing .Thank You Dear Heavenly Father.I am praying and hoping for your whole family that everything works out .
Congratulations on your beautiful baby! I will be praying for you all and Lydia’s family. God bless you both!❤
You are in my thoughts and prayers congratulations on birth of Ryker prayers for you and Lydia
Am so very sorry that you and your family are going through this very difficult time. Enjoy your precious little Ryker and God will make things right. Prayers for y'all.
I am so sorry you & your family are going through this tragic situation. This should have been the happiest time in your lives for you & instead it’s such a difficult time. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your beautiful family. 🙏
Sending prayers up for this situation for ( Lydia ) and congratulations on baby boy
I would love to hear/read more on their story Trace! Praying for beautiful Lydia! This is absolutely the very LAST thing she should have to worry or be concerned about in this time
Trace and Lydia, praying for you! Congratulations on Baby Ryker!!😊😊😊❤❤❤
Praying for Gods favour for you and Lydia and for her whole family. Been through immigration issues too and know how stressful it is! God is great and in control and ask God to show His favour in this situation. 1
I live in the Netherlands where homeschooling is also very difficult (but not impossible like in Germany). But I know that there are plenty of countries in Europe where homeschooling is legal, such as: Belgium, Austria, Sweden, etc. Why didn't Lydia's parents choose one of those countries back in the day? It is pretty easy to move within the EU.
Austria makes it very very difficult. They have the kids do full exams end of school year for all grades and are not well organized. It’s just so sad it is so difficult
That's true. Would be easier to stay in Europe vs the US.
@@KristlPMC as a homeschool mom of 20 years, I think that it is very important to have students test each year. That’s been the requirement for my kiddos each year and it has always been a non issue. It’s a very tangible way to show progress. I’m not sure why any homeschooling parent would fight this. It’s also a great way to weed out the parents who are educationally neglecting their children. Unfortunately, this is necessary because there are some families who choose to homeschool so that they can hide abuse that is occurring in the home. Typically the ones doing this are fundamentalist “Christians” who think they should be able to do whatever they want without having to answer to anyone, especially the government. Sorry for the long post lol. I hope the Romeike family is able to settle back in to their home country of Germany or any country in the EU that allows homeschooling if they are still desiring to homeschool their children.
Oh I agree- I’m all for the yearly testing BUt if the country hasn’t organized “what will be tested and how”: the homeschool families have no idea how to prepare and it is absolutely messy.
I just have seen the stress level- and all the organizational lack coming from the testing department and school boards. It’s too sad. The USA has a very well organized approach- so many options - so many curricula. And very well organized to have the options to test end of year in a child friendly way.
"Why do people want to live in freedom?"
We are praying for you, Lydia, and her precious family.
I remember HSLDA, talking about their family, & their situation.
We were praying for them for years ago
Congratulations on baby Ryker
Praying for you guys and the family❤
I hope that everything works out for you and your family. Miracles still happen. Be Encouraged. God Bless you! I will say a prayer for you and your family.
Wow, craziness. Praying for you all and Lydia’s family, that God will open the doors to deal with this situation. 🙏❤️
Congratulations on that beautiful baby boy!💙..Im very interested in learning more about Lydia's family. They soumd like great people. Ill keep everyone in my prayers 🙏 ❤
We will be praying for sure much love for your little family may your joy remain dispute the difficulties.
Praying for y'all and her whole family! God is in control! Congratulations on the birth of y'all's precious little boy 🎉
Congratulations on you're beautiful little man. Praying for all the family
Praying for you & your precious family. Please let us, your fans, know how we can personally help you besides our prayers.🙏😇🙏
You all are such a wonderful little family. I have enjoyed following Trace and Lydia and their new life together and now welcoming Ryker. My heart breaks for the Romeike family. How sad they are being treated so badly, especially when they are trying to follow the law and do everything correctly. We are all praying for Trace and Lydia and the Romeike family. Ryker is such a handsome little guy. May God bless you all❣️
Praying for all of you!
Congratulations on the newest member of your family.
Very sad to hear about the possibility deportation of Lydia and family. Will keep all in my prayers.
This is so sad. I hope now you understand and fight for all immigrant families to stay together in America.
ALL would include both Legal and Illegal immigrants.
Legal: synonyms- innocent, noncriminal, authorized (with a background check)
Illegal: synonyms- criminals, lawless, felonious, unlawful
Let’s pray they ALL enter legally like Lydia’s family did. Or at least file legally once here and help them.
Blessings
@@WhichGospelSavesU Leviticus 19:33-34 - "When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not wrong him. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God."
Don't forget that Jesus was a refugee too when he flee to Egypt.
Are you sure that they haven't? Is there some information posted somewhere that you can share here that makes you think that they haven't?
@@xCartoone Do you live in a city where immigrants are in record numbers? Have you taken them into your home as the mayor of New York has requested? Have you traveled to the areas of Texas, New York, Chicago, or California that are seeing immigrants in record numbers to help ease their struggle?
@@xCartoone I’m sorry, I don’t know what your disagreement is. Are you suggesting that in that passage that God is referring to these strangers as being people that practice unlawfulness and that God wants you to take unlawful strangers into your home, give them a room next to your children and love them as your own? I believe He would have stated the character of these strangers if that’s what He meant. He’s not wanting to put people in danger. He’s simply referring to strangers, not unlawful strangers, while laying out the civil laws in how to treat each other in order to establish a good society. So if His main reason here is to establish a good society among neighbors, how would that work with unlawful strangers (people who do things illegally)? Remember, during this time period the law was harsh. If you rebelled against God in any way and broke the law, that meant death. So you see He’s not talking about strangers that do things illegally because they wouldn’t have a chance.
I just wanted to add that it’s so backwards sometimes in this country, these people have worked hard and maintained a good Godly family life yet they are struggling to stay here whereas others that nothing is know about them get to walk in freely.
My prayers are with Trace and the Romeike family.
Blessings
Praying that everything works out for Lydia and her family.
Our prayers are with you all. God bless.
Congratulations to you both, praying they all stay here
Congratulations on Baby Ryker! Praying for Lydia and her family!
So sorry to here this. We are praying for y'all. God bless.
I pray everything works out for your family and congratulations on your new healthy baby Ryker
Praying for all of you. Congratulations on the birth of Ryker.
Praying for you all and that Lydia and her family receives favor during this process.🙏♥️. Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy.
God doesn’t look with favor on people who disobey the law. In fact, He tells us in His word to obey the law.
Congratulations on the birth on your beautiful baby boy Ryker…happy all went well and he’s perfect…sending prayers to your little family of 3…and hope this mess with Lydia and her Family gets resolved…this is so unfair and heartbreaking….the people that do everything right, follow the laws…are perfect citizens always have problems…what’s wrong with this world…you guys should all be celebrating Rykers birth instead of worrying about this stuff. So so sorry 💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💙
This is heartbreaking to hear. I am praying for the three of you and Lydia's family. We serve an awesome God and I know He can open doors that no one can shut. Praying He opens doors for Lydia and her family and gets the people involved who can resolve this once and for all so that they can stay here in the U S. permanently without ever having to worry about deportation again. And congratulations on baby Ryker! He is adorable!
Do you pray God opens doors for other illegal immigrants?
They came here illegally because they did not do the right thing, they thought the laws didn’t apply to them, they listened to people who were probably telling them that. Lydia is in this mess because of her parents and if i were her i would be furious at them for putting me in this mess, they should have left back in 2014 when they were asked too, they didnt they stayed. I dont know if maybe Trace isn’t understanding the immigration lawyer or the immigration lawyer is lying to them but she has always been included in the immigration order marrying him or having kids doesnt change that instead it looks like they are committed immigration fraud.
8:55 genuine question, if so many people have been praying for years and since they were allowed to stay until the youngest was 18 and done with school, why not accept this as God’s will, say thanks to the US for letting them stay and homeschool, and graciously return to their country, Germany?
That’s horrible. I will pray for this situation. I’m so sorry.
Praying for all of you. It's sad that you have to go through this right now. You are supposed to be enjoying your gorgeous little bundle of joy. He is so precious. Lydia should not have to be going through stress right now. I can't even imagine. Praying in Jesus'name that none of them get deported. Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers to all of you , that includes Lydia's family also and also the Bate's family whom I'm sure is also very upset about this. God bless all of you always
🙏💙❤️👶🙏
I know, right??? The parents never should have put their family in this position!
Prayers for Lydia and her family. Congratulations, Baby Ryker. We've been waiting to see you. 🤗🤗♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏
