Crazy thing is you all look related.

No child in the world should endure such suffering. Jesus loves children! 🙏

I was just adopted today and I didn't think it was possible since I'm 14 and have progeria it was a miracle my real parents died 3 years ago looking for my real brother we got separated when my grandma died 8 months ago

I am thankful you got in a safe and happy place!

A beautiful family.

So so happy for you all! Could y’all do a follow-up so we can see how you’re all doing?

Omg, this is so beautiful and touching!! God bless you and your family. You matter and I pray you reach every goal and achieve everything God has for you!!

God bless you

Hey brandon, thats a beautiful story! how are you doing nowadays!

You will do many good things in your life, maybe helping other children too. In the photo with your brother did you see you two have the same eyes, eyebrows but especially the teeth and smile I still think this must be your biological brother, all the best from Sweden Europe, myself adopted from a civil war that killed my whole family I was left as a 2 year old on the streets, when some nuns found me I was close to death then but later I was taken to an adoption center and a wonderful woman from Sweden was there (this is the 1970s) and she found me and MY brother (not biological) he is 5 weeks older than I and we look very similar so people has always called us twins. There are so many many similar life stories out there and for you and me with sad beginnings but happy endings, Cheers Adam

My dream is to adopt a child in 3 yrs from now.

Great family

Wow! You both made it to family life. Continue on towards your dreams. You will get there!

Never give up on life. Just wait and be patient and God will bless you in ways you never imagine :)

That's great, I didn't know we can adopt that easily, don't know if it's that easy to adopt in France...

FYI reach out to your local Child Advocacy and see how you can help. You do not have to foster. They need new shoes cloths and something like a duffle bag or suitcase. These kids generally removed from their home with nothing but the clothes they have on.

Wonderful and emotional 💜💜💜💜💜 Your life, your family and your story are really inspiring 💜💜💜💜💜

I HOPE ONE DAY A KIND LOVELY FAMILY TO ADOPT ME AND TAKE ME FROM THE HELL I LIVE IN....

God isso só good

Alcoholic parent 80 years ago. No real home after that. Sad that some things don't change. Far more kids going through that life now, sadly.

I placed my baby girl for adoption. In to protect her.Is because of stepdad. He wrote to me he. He told me he will come take my baby away from me if I keep her. And kill and dismantle her. Mom didn’t care and love me to help me. Or come see me at the adoption home. Mom wanted me to abort. I chose life. Feel her kicking and moving. And moon shine. I brought life in the world. And hear her crying. Chose adoption over abortion death. Babies are a beautiful gift from god. Don’t forget god created everyone of us in the world.

My mom and dad think this a lie, lemme tell you their against adoption.

This is beautiful... congratulations!!! So happy for you all!

God bless you all 🙏

Good for you, glad you found a happy ending.

This is the most amazing beautiful thing ever you are truly blessed God bless you and your Beautiful family may he bring many more blessings to you all💜

you lost me at from Ukraine... America has thousands

beautiful

This is amazing

Remember boys and girls, this only works with a mother and father who aren't confused with which public bathroom to use. A true Male and female. No perverts in between. Js

Bless your beautiful heart and your forever home with your brother! The World is full of heartbreak for so many children! Bless these beautiful parents too!!

What a great family what big hearts you have

great story. I got adopted myself and adopted later as well: now have 6 sons from indonesia, 1 daughter from indonesia and one son from Nepal and a first grandchild 🙂

I just want to let you know about the AMAZING and POWERFUL impact this video had on me when I first saw it in October 2015. I was a foster parent from 2000 to 2013 and fostered over 30 teenage boys. I adopted two of them. But I had NEVER heard of orphan hosting. Immediately after watching the video, I googled this mysterious phrase. It pulled up a handful of orphan hosting organizations. (Sadly, "a handful" is all the exists in the U.S..) I contacted that ones that would allow a single man to host and learned that Latvia allows singles to host. But they told me that it was too late to host for Christmas 2015. Consequently, I set my eyes on Summer 2016. I hosted an amazing 14 year old and equally amazing 9 year old from Latvia that summer. We had some amazing adventures that included Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park and the Big Island of Hawaii. For Christmas 2016, hosted the two of them again, along with the half-brother of the 14 year old. They were blown away by a week in Orlando at all the theme parks. The experience of hosting the boys led me to adopt . . . not from Latvia, but from Bulgaria. That ultimately resulted in the adoption of Andrew, my 14 year old Bulgarian son in 2018 . . . but I am getting off track. My point is, if I had never seen your video, I never would have hosted, and therefore, I would have never gone down the road to adopt again. I could not host during the summer of 2017 due to a crazy travel schedule. But I hosted the 9 year old (then 10) again, and a fourth boy from the same orphanage. I actually had the privilege to chaperone and fly from Latvia to the U.S. with all the kids who were hosted for Christmas 2017. If you want to be blown away by an infinite amount of joy . . . just fly to the U.S. with a bunch of orphans who are being hosted! For summer 2018, I hosted three boys again (two I had formerly hosted before) along with the younger brother (Artjoms) of one of the boys I had hosted. For Christmas 2018, I hosted FIVE boys (three I had previously hosted, including Artjoms) and two new ones, all of whom were from the same orphanage. It was an absolutely AMAZING Christmas. By this time I had made 4 or 5 trips to Latvia to simply spend time with the kids, celebrate birthdays and simply show up for them (one fell out of a fourth story window in October 2017). These trips provided incredibly opportunities to see the kids' lives and get to know them better. As a result of hosting Artjoms twice, I decided to move forward with his adoption. For summer 2019, I hosted five boys (three I had previously hosted and two new ones). The two new boys were not from the same orphanage as the previous seven boys. We want to the Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park and the Big Island of Hawaii. (For some reason, the boys seem to really enjoy Hawaii.) In October 2019, I was able to bring Artjoms (now Brian) home. But . . . there is more! For Christmas 2019, I hosted two of the boys I hosted previously. A week before my boys arrived, I got an email from the hosting organization, Host Children. (In addition to Latvia, they also host children from Ukraine.) Host Children said that there was an absolutely extraordinary and amazing 15 year old boy would would turn 16 in June 2020. Therefore, this Christmas would be his very last chance to find a family. So . . . I contacted over 90 friends to ask them to consider hosting this boy. A younger (mid-30s) couple who had talked with me a couple of times about adoption contacted me and said they wanted to host him. They did. They fell in love with him, and he fell in love with the family. Last April (2021) they brought him home. (Even though he was 16, they completed all of the paperwork before he turned 16). As a result of his adoption, another family is considering adoption a brother/sister sibling group from the same orphanage in Ukraine. Although several of the boys I have hosted from Latvia have aged out of the orphanage, I maintain contact and relationships with them. In fact, three of them joined my family in Mexico for Christmas 2021. In truth, they have "adopted" me as their father, and they treat me as such. ALL OF THIS HAS FLOWED FROM YOUR VIDEO. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, I will leave you this quote to consider. "When I grew up in the orphanage, it was Christians who came and built nicer buildings. It was Christians who bought us beds, clothing and provided money monthly for food. It was a Christian who wrote a letter in a shoebox, who first told me I was loved. It was Christians who met all my material and physical needs in that orphanage. But it was also Christians who neglected my biggest need. Children in orphanages don't need more money, nicer buildings or better clothes. I am not an orphan because I lost my home or provisions. I am an orphan because I lost my parents. I needed a mom and a dad. I needed a family. Christians treated all my temporary symptoms of need, but never cured my long-term disease of being an orphan. I am still an orphan." A quote by a 30 year old orphan who aged out of an orphanage where he had lived his entire life.

I am 33 years old. I was physically abused from age 4 to 11. I have been looking into adopting a kiddo between 12 and 14. I know with my understanding of childhood trauma that I can make a difference in a child's life. I am going to go for it.

All the horrible things that take up the space in our hearts and minds, we are reminded of these blessings.

Someone adopted 5 Ukrainian kids... That's amazing!
