Surprising our families with our adopted baby!

- We adopted our daughter in 2020 and as the emotions of her first birthday approached, I decided to make this video as a compilation of the footage from surprising our families with the baby we had waited 4.5 years for.
Although she is still very young, we tell her everyday that her birth momma made her decision to place her with us out of love for her. She will always know how much her birth mom loves her.
We made this other video ( • Loving and honoring ou... ) to show just how much we truly love and respect her birth mom.
A big piece of adoption is correct terminology. A birth mom places a child for adoption. They don’t give them up and it is not that they don’t want or love them. It is because they love their child.
We are so thankful to our daughter’s birth mom. We love sending her updates and pictures. We never take a day for granted.

I’m in tears reading all these comments about birth moms. I gave up my only son 15 years ago because, at that time, I couldn’t give him the life he deserved. I decided that, just because it wasn’t my fault that I was in the position I was in, didn’t mean he didn’t deserve better. It wasn’t his fault. I think about him daily. I love him with every piece of my soul. I pray one day he’ll understand why I did what I did. It was both the toughest, and easiest, decision I ever made. I knew someone else could give him a wonderful life but I also knew how heartbreaking it would be to let them do it. I’m, now, in a much better situation and have a great husband, who has a wonderful extended family, and 2 young daughters who I’m able to bless with the life I always wanted for myself. It still hurts, daily, not having him, but I don’t regret it.
This comment made me tear up a bit. You sound selfless and I’m sorry you had to make such a difficult decision due to circumstances beyond your control. Did you choose a closed or open adoption?
Thank you for your selflessness. I have one child from my body, and two from my heart. Without birthmothers like you, I would be without 2/3 of my children, which is unfathomable to me. Bless you always. ❤️💐
@@wendyporter1093 thank you.
@@f.k.a1010 at the time, I really didn’t have a choice. I was told it would be open but the ball was never in my court. For the first year, I visited him every other weekend. Those visitations got more and more difficult. He got to where he would save his food and hide it in his closet for me. He asked me if I would live in his closet. He said he would share his food and toys with me and no one needed to know. He would cry for a week after our visits even though he just knew me as his Kym, not his mama. Right about the time he would start recovering from missing me, it was time for our visit again. I couldn’t do that to him. I had to let him go, for now. I just pray that the love I showed him during our short time together was enough to make him remember when he got old enough.
God bless you, you are so strong and a wonderful woman. I can't imagine how you came to such a hard decision. Bless you and yr family. Thinking of you with love and so much respect.💖💖💖💖
My daughter tried for 10 years to get pregnant. She then had cervical cancer. They wound up adopting 3 children, who are the loves of my life. The oldest is now pregnant with our first Great-Grand Child ❤️
My goodness, that’s wonderful!
💕💕💕
Congratulations!
@@melissasalazar1436 Thank you
Big congratulations to your whole family!! That is lovely and amazing and I'm wishing you all so much happiness for the future!
36 years ago my son was born to another woman and she made the ultimate sacrifice that a woman can make. Doing what’s best for her child. I have nothing but respect for her. I remember the joy on the day I got the call to be ready bc in the next twenty for hours I would finally be a mother. God bless you guys.
I think open adoption is great but when I was adopted 59 years ago it was closed. I got some information a number of years ago. But closed adoption is not best in my opinion
Thank you, for saying that.
@@thedunns4718 I am also adopted and my biological mother was in and out of my life definitely believe that closed adoption is the best
As a biological mom I disagree
@@emilydavis5920 l agree mums give their gift of life to be raised by another but hopefully happiness for both mums one day.x❤
My daughter was adopted. She is 23 now. I thank the parents who make a huge sacrifice for us to complete our family.
What are you talking about most mums don't want babies why would they care?
I hope birth mama gets to see how loved and adored this sweet soul is. What a beautiful gift for this family to grow bigger.
I wonder if that's part of why they posted the video -- so they could quietly slip a link to mama and show the big huge loving family the baby would go to.
@@hagamapama I could never give a baby up because I've been wanting one since I was 5 years old, lol but if I had, I would be soo happy at what a huge loving family she'd have! I grew up wanting a big family.
This was beautiful to watch. Thank you for loving this baby unconditionally. When I was 16 yrs old (37 years ago) I chose adoption. As a birth mother, these videos warm my heart. 💞
L.p.
I too am a birth mom,I gave my son up for adoption,he is 24 now,I was 24 but had 2 girls,one with health issues,I was a single mom and birth dad was not willing to help so I did what was best for him,he grew up in a loving home with great parents,I still have contact with him ❤

Thank you, and to all first-moms who make such an incredibly loving decision. Because of a courageous woman like you, my daughter and I are a family. She looks just like her first-mommy, a constant beautiful reminder to me of the one who blessed me with the miracle I always wanted.
Thank you for releasing your little one to join another family!
I am so happy for you !!! 64 years ago I was adopted 😋😋 best day of my life !!!
😊❤️Thanks for sharing that. Sometimes I get scared my future adopted baby will resent me for adopting them
We adopted 2 siblings and it was the best experience!!
Same here !! 65 this coming April !!
Congratulations from another adopted child.
@@c.2538 Don't ever think that! Just leave ve them, and they'll appreciate you!
Babies R always a blessing. I have 4 adopted kids and no biological kids and my kids are the best thing that ever happened to me.
God bless you for adopting. -An adopted child.
Indeed 🤗❤
Omg four adopted babies! That's so wonderful, they are so very lucky.
Absolutely! Whether biological or adopted, having children is the greatest blessing 💕
@karen Baxter same. Twin boys🥰
Every child should be greeted with such wonder.
💓✨
This is beautiful, what a wonderful video for Presley when she's older, to know how excited everyone is to welcome her into the family.
Adoption is so special. We were blessed to adopt three newbies, each a year a-part. In time, as adults, each connected with their birth families. We were thrilled a birth mom X 3 trusted us with the most precious gift in her life. No words to express our thank you. ❤️
That's amazing! So beautiful💓
Hopefully birth mama gets to see this and the huge warm loving extended family her child will join
Dear Birth Mothers Everywhere--Thank you. Love, Adoptive Families
I adopted my son at birth, almost 26 years ago; he is my absolute heart. I am grateful to his birth mother every single day. It was an open adoption, and I did my best to make her a part of his life growing up.
It's no wonder you were chosen. What a beautiful family. Congratulations - she's adorable - and very blessed.
Such a heart-warming video. God Bless your entree family. 52 years ago, I hopefully made another family happy.
Aww, God bless you.
I'm sure your sacrifice did (make another family happy.) 🤗❤
I’m sure you did. ❤️
You did a beautiful thing.
You definitely gave a family a beautiful gift. Almost 52yrs ago I was given up for adoption, and although I wish I could thank her and let her know I had a loving home and full life, I have yet to find her…so I pray and thank God for the gift of life she gave me on 9/11/70🙏🏼
I'm reading the comments of the birth mommies here and you all make me tear up. What an incredible sacrifice of love! I hope all of you are at peace knowing that you did the absolute very best for your baby and gave that child an incredible gift of life.
Sending much love and support to the birth mom! She did an awesome job. That baby is going to have a life full of love and positive memories
Hello how are you doing👋👋👋👋
Pray the mom got to see how special she is to her adopted family. God bless her too
What an amazing blessing, that her tummy mommy chose you to raise and nurture her little girl. Wishing you so much happiness and joy with your wee daughter. Welcome to the world, Presley.
Beautiful!! Congratualations from Canada ! I was adopted at 10 days old in 1968 and I am so grateful to my birth Mom and and my parents. God Bless Presley
Watching from Pennsylvania..
61 years ago today, my adoptive parents and my Aunt..picked me up.. I was about 2 weeks old.
The best mom's are the ones who always put the needs of their child above all else. Deciding to allow someone else,the happiness of calling your baby their own is the biggest, most selfless, precious act of being a mom. To all out there who have done this or are thinking of doing this...Thank-you!!! Thank you for giving your child more than u could give. Your amazing ❤️❤️❤️
This is absolutely wonderful that she’s accepted by all your extended family members with so much love! I absolutely love love love this!☺️💖
a friend of mine was a surrogate for a couple 20 years ago and she had 2 babies for them. she did a wonderful thing.
courageous mummy to do what is best for her child and what a fabulous welcome into Presley's new loving family 💖💖💖
LOVE OVERLOAD! How blessed Presley is already. The birth mom can rest assured that all is well.
the t-shirt of the first woman you showed your baby to says it all!☺️👍🏻 congratulation!
I never understood these videos until my niece was born. God I love that little girl and my heart has opened completely towards babies and children. This video made me emotional. :’) this is a beautiful moment, like when I first saw my niece. Pure innocent love. I already want more babies in the family lol.
God Bless this sweet little baby, her birth mother and her wonderful family.
After they Show this video on her 18th bday... She'll actually realise how precious she is for her entire family...How loved she is...How happy they were to see her...🤍🤍🤍...One of the bestt bday gifts eveerrrrrrrr❤️❤️❤️
How fun to just show up with your new daughter!! She is beautiful! Congratulations 🎀 🎉 🎈Blessings to her throughout her life that she will know peace and love 💗
Shhhh! Sleeping baby!!! 😳😂
Such a loving family. That baby won the family lottery. 💕🙏
She’s adorable and I love her name,thanks for sharing it certainly made me smile 💕🇦🇺
It’s so good to see the family so happy to meet the new baby in the family!!!
So happy for you all! We adopted our girl 16 years ago and have been so blessed every day since. God bless your sweet family. ❤️
You have such a beautiful family. Presley is incredibly blessed to have joined you. Love the proud siblings and niece who kept saying Presley was adorable. So much happiness! Congratulations!💗
Blessings upon tiny Presley and her entire family. May you grow up in joy! 🙏
I was adopted and met my birth mother. I regret we could never fully connect due to my feelings for my parents and I couldn't be what she needed me to be, but I am grateful beyond measure and ache for her for what she went through. She was made to give me up. That broke me. I was searching for her again to reconnect but sadly found a memorial online instead. In the obituary it said she was a birth mother. My heart broke again. All love to those who love their babies no matter how they came into your life and love to birth mothers who love so completely they give their child up so they flourish. ❤
Thank you for sharing this. The joy and excitement... So wonderful. You can show this to Presley when she's a teen and full of angst, to show her how much and how many people love her and how special she is. God bless you all!
Wonderful you have adopted children you are so blessed..Im Adopted so my advise to you is Find out as much *medical history* and storys ..and make sure you tell the child EVERYTHING you can about the Birth mother/father Good or Bad ! ..I was adopted at 6weeks and told at 5yrs ( a good age )I wanted to know my birth mother I meet my birth father and had a good relationship and learnt where my piano playing and a talent of drawing come from ( the cord is never severed ) ..for some Adopted Children ..i always wanted to know my birth mother.. yet my husband also adopted didn't.. we both Love our Adopted parents with all our hearts ❤ and they will always be our real Mum and Dad ....make it comfortable for your children to ask ( because they don't wont to upset you in anyway !! they should never suffer thinking I cant ask questions because they will think i don't love them ..talk freely and dont be scared you will loose them to the birth parents .( it won't happen ) .blood doesn't make you family love does i have so much more advise but ill be quite now..wishing you and your Family a wonderful happy life filled with love and kindness from Australia 🇦🇺 ...
🎅Merry Christmas 🌲
Congratulations on the new bundle. And she has siblings to grow up with. Blessings to you all, and the mother who gave such a gift to you all. 🙏
AW I'm in tears. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Congratulations on your very own little PDA ...Public Display of Affection. Presley Donna Ann. It’s the perfect name for her. She is so beautiful. What a lovely family you have. Enjoy every moment. Much love and hugs from Australia 👶
❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️💐🌻🦋
Thank you for referring to her as an expectant mother, the terminology and respect that comes from the proper terms in the adoption community is so important.
Congratulations on your new addition to your family.
Love
An Adult Adoptee
Congratulations. My grandson is 9yrs old now. But I still remember being I the delivery room when he was born. His Birthmother came down from Canada to meet my Daughter and Son Inlaw and to meet with the lawyer. She went into labor 9 weeks early. He was a wonderful surprise. His Gotcha Day was attended by 59 family and friends. Enjoy!
😪Im going to adopt one day... I told my mom that when I was a kid, before she passed. Im gonna raise a baby that needs me.
Hope you save your money. Most couples can’t afford adoption of a healthy white infant. It’s too expensive. Unless you adopt a special needs child and then that will still require a lot of money to raise.
She’s adorable & I know you & your family are going to give her all the love she will ever need & want!!!!
Oh gosh you guys! So sweet! Thanks for sharing this with the world! I needed to see a lot of joy today- this video did it for me!! Enjoy that beautiful gift!!😍
The grandmas have me in tears over here. How sweet ❤
I love all the grandmas and Aunts,they're so excited! I'm glad this baby and a bunch of other ones get to find nice families.
Well this brought back wonderful memories of my daughters adoption! Angel blessing!
I had my son at Winnie Palmer! Congratulations!! Your little girl is beautiful!
This is about as beautiful as it gets. Welcome to your Life Baby Girl! The Love in this video is just glowing. 💜💜
Now that ... that ... is one beautiful little baby. Her hair? Awesome! So proud for you. She is so lucky and of course, so are you. Keep us updated!
This truly looks like a beautiful and loving family…this little girl is going to grow up with lots of love ❤️ Amazingly beautiful video!
That sweet girl hit the jackpot of big loving families!! Congratulations to all!
Presley is precious. God bless your beautiful family
A huge family with lots of Love! This little sweetie will have a great life!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋👋
She’s gorgeous. She’s gone into a loving close family by the look of it. I hope the baby’s birth mother gets to see the love her child will be surrounded by, after making such a tough decision. Best wishes to all.
Bless you, I wish you all the happiness you can have,
Your mom is adorable.
Both extended families are wonderful, the reactions were amazing.
Oh my! Such a huge and great family this little girl gets!!! Wonderful and well done! All the best to you all!
This Brings me Joy
I gave my 2 babies up for Adoption. I wish I could have kept them. This shows me how much love they have for them. It's wonderful. I see and have close contact with my Daughter. She's so much like me. But her Mom and Dad did a Great job with her, and she has a Lil boy. Now my Son won't speak to me. His Mom didn't keep the agreement to tell him I love him. But it's ok. I seen a pic of his Lil girl. It's Amazing and she is Beautiful.
But this makes my Heart fill with Joy to know how Loving they are...I just wanted my kids loved by Mommies that couldn't have babies. And they deserved a Chance. God Bless Parents that Adopt too.
Congratulations! What a little beauty. My first grandchild was born 9/11 so I share in your joy. As a former hospital social worker, my best days were seeing the joy of adoptive parents holding their new babies. Some had waited 10 years and endured lots of failed adoptions along the way. Blessings to all the courageous birth moms who loved their babies so much to make this tough choice. Many blessings to you all. 💗🙏🏻👼🏻✝️
This is the absolute best! Thank you for sharing & bringing some sunshine to my day! Wishing your family a joyful year with your new bundle of love.
I love everyone's reaction, so wonderful.
This made cry happy tears🥺
I really wish all babies were born into this much love 💜
That beautiful baby is one of the luckiest in the world to be surrounded by so much love. 💗💗
Birth Mama you are the most unselfish loving person to put Presley above yourself. That’s what being a mama is all about. Hope you are doing well. God Bless You!
For the wonderful brave selfless birth mums. ❤❤❤❤❤
In Australia documents are unsealed at 18 I think. Then either side can ask for contact.
It can be difficult to make it work but all my children needed to meet the birth parents.
It filled a hole in their life. They had questions only the parents could answer.
Some are part of our extended family now, some come and go, some just met and it didn’t work out.
I adopted 5 my oldest is now 50.
These children of my heart but not my body are the reason I live. I love them all so much.
They are wonderful siblings.
It is such a precious thing to raise a child. Adopted parents have one thing in common, the emotion of that first meeting and all the feelings around it.
I remember every moment of each one.
The youngest was only 3 days old.
We never took the sacrifice of the mums for granted.
Our bedtime prayer included “God bless the mummy who made me”
I love the grandmother in the driveway! She is so cute.....she sounds like air being released from a balloon when she cries!
I'm so happy for your family!!!! I wish you only happiness, love and health!
I can’t stop crying this is such an adorable video ❤❤ imagine when the baby is older and they get to see how excited everyone was ❤
Oh My Lord, Dad picking her up like he was going to break her. Priceless. ❤️
Awww, so many congratulations. What a beautiful blessing.
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍😊🤗😊
A children loving family and siblings and beatiful parents and relatives. Hopefully, one day the mother of the baby gets to see this and she will know that she made the right decision at this point in her life. She had reasons to do this and for the baby its a happy beginning :) All the best for the birth mother and the people in this video.
Congratulations on the beautiful new edition to your family!
Congratulations! What a lovely family. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. My family and friends are adopting maniacs. If you stand still around us, you will get adopted. Yes adoption!!!!!
She's absolutely gorgeous! Watching this made me cry❤❤❤
Awwwww!! She is so precious!! Congratulations!!💗💗💗
Aww this is so lovely. Congratulations 🥰
Congratulations! I pray that you and all your beautiful children have wonderful lives filled with happiness and love!
How can we have such wonderful humans in this world, who have done everything they can to adopt this beautiful baby.
And yet, nothing could be done o save the live of beautiful tragic boy Arthur.. I will never ever ever be able to comprehend how two people became to be allowed to inflict such depth of abuse on such a young defenceless boy, who tragically had nowhere to run and no one to turn too..
the entire system let him down.. I will take what happened o that poor boy with me for the rest of my life..
I will forever hold Arthur in my heart. And I just pray that in some way, young Arthur can feel it, and know he loved by millions. Thank you so much to the family who have adopted this young baby. I can take in huge comfort this baby will be truly loved cherish and adored forever.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
