So many strange things here. Most of the adopted children were Asian but there were very, very few Asians in Germany and these few couldn’t have so many children as a whole and especially not free for adoption. Next thing: it is extremely unlikely that any couple would be given 21 children to adopt,not even over time. Then the adoptive mother doesn’t have a German accent. And finally: Thomas has zero German accent as well when speaking English.

We were brought up in America. Mansfield Ohio to be exact. 11 from Korea 10 American Black boys. 3 of their own. Koreans they paid for, blacks were free. Yes, all adopted. Why would you think I would make that up that’s funny. There are plenty of pictures on my website. Don’t have a German accent? Really? She talks in German and writes in German. She actually can’t write in English. I know it’s hard to believe that’s why I tell her story. But you’re free to think what you want. Thanks for the comment.

I wish I'd been adopted by good people, they adopted me at 13 to save a failing marriage, divorced about a year later, then mistreated me for years after till I finally cut them off and moved to a literal island to get away from them

I was left at the hospital too when I was born. Entering the system under day one is really hard. I am white, but still have the same extreme abandonment issues. I fell in love with a man that was abandoned also. We built our own family and bloodline. Starting from Ground Zero in creating your own bloodline is hard. You have to work harder than everybody else. He unfortunately died and had a heart attack last year. I’m trying to create our dream on my own, and raise our children. On the hard days, I have to remind myself that besides love, I’m teaching our children, strength and resilience against an unforgiving world.

It's ironic he decided to make more children OF HIS OWN because of the "bloodline" nonsense, instead of doing what his parents did and ADOPT, save someone. But that's what selfish people do. They want to have their OWN biological trophies, because that's what matters to them. He learned nothing from his parents.

The anger in your comment is on 10. I would not give back an emotional response as I know you have no idea what life was like. So I understand your response from not knowing me. I did not ever intend to make a video of my life in a negative light. It is truly amazing what my parents did. So amazing that I feel like they are literally one in a kind. There hasn’t been anyone that I have met in my 43 years of living I could even hold a candle to what they sacrificed. However, there are unintentional consequences that come with putting that many kids that come from abuse in one house. Again, my intention was to separate the thought and love with the reality of the situation. Hard to place kids come with lots of baggage. One person cannot be emotionally available for so many. If I told you some of the stories I know I am sure you would not look at this the way you do. So again with limited knowledge and an inside look your statement is easy to make. Do you think the kids I grew up with were just saying thank you and we’re just great kids to be around? Nope, we fought, all the time. We went to school fought all the time. From guns drugs attempted murder, rape assault I could go on forever. I only know that I carried a burden that I never asked for and tried to turn things positive. As of now, I go and talk to youth, coach 3 soccer teams , coach 1 basketball team and am always lending my time. If you knew the mental hurdles I went through to just be me , whatever that means I think you would say I came along way. As far as learning from my parents I am a spitting image of my dad. He would and was proud of me even if I wasn’t perfect. Read my book. It explains a lot. I think it would benefit you to read it. As again you are only looking through the lens of how you would feel. Thanks for watching and commenting. I do appreciate it. Best regards.

My dad once took my daughter ice skating with her friend. When they droped off her friend afterwards he said something like 'why didn't you tell me she was Chinese?' My daughter was like 'shes not Chinese, her eyes are just like that.' Meanwhile she was like 11 years old. It's true, kid's don't put racial barriers up unless they are influenced to do so. ❤

I love the adopting Mum she sounds so loving and beautiful. I imagine the Dad must have been a great husband and father. I imagine they would of been a great couple and parents to adopt so many children, love and raise them as their own. What a blessed the children were who were adopted by them were.

I don’t disagree per se but there are times when other people are the barriers. I do believe that if someone wants to do something they will find a way, they may need supports (meaning assistive devices etc.) to do it and it may be hard but if they work hard it can be done.

God bless the Adoptive parent's, and bless the birth parents also, at least they gave him life, and he said himself all the difficulties eventually made him the man he is. And if we think about it no one gets through life without difficulties, it's part of this journey, often people say it's through the difficulties they learn the most and become most resilient and develop character.

Its important video right now because some of black people are misguided and instead ask for respect they started ask for privileges and being the racists themselves. Kids dont care for the skin color. We should ignore skin colors and focus on personality.

But you WERE wanted! Your adopted family chose you! Your mom was so happy; ecstatic even. You were SO wanted. My brother is adopted and our family would not be complete without him, and he knows it. And now he has his own kids too. I do, however, understand needing to grow up and figure yourself out. But stop saying you weren't wanted. You were wanted as a child and you are wanted now.

Yes I was very much wanted. However, when I was younger I did feel misplaced. I shared a bedroom with like 9 boys that I didn’t know. It was crazy at times. I’m very thankful now. I’m 43 now. As an adult I can see all the good that was inscribed into me. They were and are great people. Thank you for the comment.

My grandma gave my brother and I away because she was racist...she was Native American and we had white skin and green eyes. I always knew she hated me because I'm white. I'm not racist and I'm proud of that. It hurts to be hated for something you can't help. Racist are horrible people.
