Hope you're all doing okay! 💜

I CARE!!! ❤️

YES you can cuss in this Gabe! Im cussing for you right now.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, I hope it is cathartic for you. Your family is so beautiful! It was so cute how Gabe lit up while talking about finding out Alexis was pregnant, cute boy Daddy xx

Such an amazing story, wish I could turn time back for you or at least give you a big hug. I follow you on TT and think your wife is amazing too. TT: WildNomadNZ

It's been forever!!! How are you guys? Sorry I got off tiktok because it was exasperating my ADHD and I couldn't get anything done. :(

I love that I stumbled onto these videos. So glad you guys were on my show. Big hugs to you both!!

I'm confused as to why someone that looked like him wouldn't talk to someone like you. What's wrong with you? You are smart and from the little I can see real pretty. I'm glad you two found each other.

Love you guys. Andrew, the difference in how you carry yourself between now and the beginning of this journey is dramatic. I truly believe that tackling your trauma head-on has changed you for the better, made you stronger. I am proud of you both. ❤️💚💚❤️ For those wondering about "making your spouse do something": It can be a sign if a strong relationship when one insists with very strong intention that the other do or not do something, but no actual force is involved. Each knows they have to make their own final decisions based on what they think is right and approriate, but each is very mindful of the needs and considerations of the other person. People in a good relationship can be strong in what they want, but make their requests and decisions based on what is best for all involved, and on any private agreements they have made outside our view. Seeing one spouse insist the other do or not do something does not necessarily mean they are railroading the person. It just means they feel strongly about the subject at hand and have the other person's best interest at heart. I means they want the best for them. I know these two well enough to say neither can "force" the other to do anything. My hub & I have a very similar relationship.

Just curious because it was hard to hear does ares have cp? Also u guys are amazing

Sending you love 🥺❤️

I'm so sorry you had to deal with your mom like that that's not right what she did to you your dad sounds like amazing father trying to find you

It’s so apparent how much you two love each other and we’re meant for each other. Been following your story on tiktok and now here and it’s amazing the way you have God on your side through this whole process I hope sharing your story in this way is helping you to heal, as hearing it makes me feel less alone with my situation Wishing you both the best!

Why you don’t show yourself?

Did you ever find out if Ares’ CP is genetic from Andrew/Gabe’s dad’s side? ☺️

Would the school district still have your records? Being as it was a photocopy of the birth certificate, they might still have it in their storage?

I would love to read your book

So here's a question! What birthday do you celebrate since you learned you had 2? The one you knew growing up or the actual day you were born?

I have ptsd from my mother and I relate to him on a very personal level. At the end he was shaking...when I talk about my mom my anxiety get so bad I shake too. I just want to hug him

Why was so easy for her to change everything

I understand not wanting to show your face, but its showing in your profile photo. You may want to change that.

Love the Q&As. I was trying to explain your situation to my mother, who works in a town hall & deals with birth certificates, why it wasn’t a cut & dry situation. I wasn’t very good & explaining the complexity of the challenges you were facing.

Such an interesting story.....and a nightmare that you have to live through!

Thank you for sharing your story. You're brave, and I hope you're able to have your identity back. I can't imagine how frustrating this is for y'all.

Why cant you just keep the current social but change your first and last name and then work on fixing the birthdate?

Sleep well you guys. Appreciate the updates.

I love these. It gives me time to concentrate on the funny parts of your tic toks and the fence building.

Thanks for sharing✔️. Wishing you guys all the best! I do have some questions, you said you haven’t spoken to your mom in years. What if something happened to her, do you know how to reach her? I know your dad respects your right not to prosecute, tho it’s understandable, she took his right to enjoy bringing you up and all the memories, which you have lost as well. Do you think your father did any of the things she said now to have met him? Doesn’t he have his marriage certificate with her name and ssn info? Doesn’t he remember where you were born to obtain your birth certificate? I hope you are reconnecting and enjoying as well as making new memories with him your siblings and family! All the best!- Stacey

This has been very interesting. So I'm curious as to how or what would happen if during this process your mom dies unexpectedly (cancer, heart attack, etc)? What resources would be available to you then? If this has already been addressed in another video, please direct me and disregard this comment.

Thanks for the update. I enjoy your Tik Toks and live sessions but these videos are great to keep all the details in order.

You guys are amazing. I've been following your story and it's wild, amazing and beautiful how you two have come so far. Sending love and prayers that everything will turn out even better for you all.

Thank you for your willingness to share your story with us andrew!!

I have followed you since you began your story on TikTok. When did you last have contact with your mother? Since having uncovered all the lies, were you able to confront her? If so, how did that go? Book deal, movie, miniseries...I'm invested. I wish you and your family love and blessings ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing.

Have you gave any thought about contacting Troy Dunn? Your situation is a little different from what he normally investigates but he maybe able to give you ideas of how to proceed

Ohhhhhhhh. So your kidnapper is your biological mother. See. That's probably a lot less traumatic???? Like from a child's perspective.

I'm hugging my 4 year old. Thinking about the fear and trauma he would have if someone took him from me. I'll finish watching this and the series. I'm unsure how you didn't have memories.

Looking forward to the book.

So glad you now have so much love around you. Know that you deserve it and never doubt that. Big hugs to you guys 🥰

Alexis and Alexis’ family you are awesome 💙😭

I’m so glad you never accept the insurance idea or any other idea Gadrew’s mother had regarding Ares. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gadrew you are so Strong! 💪🏻

who would down vote this?? You are so brave and an amazing human despite how life started.

What is your Tiktok handle?

I am so proud of you guys for standing up to Andrew's mom. Your child's welfare is clearly your most important concern and I think he could have no better parents. Your continuing story is riveting. Andrew willingly delves into his most painful memories, fights to reach the other side, emerging victoriously each time, no matter the pain. I can see his spirit being a bit brighter with each successful foray. Alexis, you have appeared pretty calm through all this, but I know this has been a difficult journey for both of you. I love that you are faithfully by his side, helping him along. I am so happy you have each other to lean on. 💑 You guys are awesome! This fills in some empty spots in the story well. We are getting a yet better overall picture of Andrew's mom and her manipulation. I can't imagine how tough it was for a child to experience that all day, every day for years. My mom was a toxic piece of work, but not on this level. I was greatly relieved when she finally passed. No more snarky comments to hurt me or my sister. Andrew's brother sounds like a real gem. I find it very cool that the two brothers are similar and so are their wives. It's like "things aligning" somehow, as they were meant to be, or should have been. I am so glad you are close. It's great to see/hear you two smile and laugh. I finally understand the term "step grandmother". If I've still got it wrong, please let me know. So your mother's father was married more than once, and his later wife was the one your brother contacted, not a bio grandmother. She would have been your mom's stepmother. Your grandfather's first (or earlier) wife would have been your mom's bio mother. Seems easy to understand now. I come from families that seldom divorced or remarried for several generations, so I've not had to think about relatives in that light. I'm not saying they were all happy unions. In case you didn't know, the dip in the back yard, is a swale ditch. When housing subdivisions are planned, the U.S. Corps of Engineers surveys the entire area of the floodplain and requires the developer to make certain changes to the land for good drainage, based on the lots and how they are arranged. The Corps makes the plan and the developer must abide to it. If anyone in the neighborhood later changes their swale(s), filling in because they want more flat areas for use, it changes the drainage for their property and that of their neighbors, and is actually illegal. I've run into the issue myself in an older neighborhood where at least one unthinking homeowner decided to "do away" with one or more. Just an interesting factoid. I'm not implying you guys would ever do that. 😆 at you and Mary Jane. She gave you the "look" and you backed off as fast as you could. 🤭 😾 ...and the death stare continued! I was laughing and had to go back and re-listen to what Alexis was saying. My cat understands apologies too. That doesn't mean you won't be swatted though. Kitty made sure you knew you were in trouble. 🤣🤣🤣 Y'all are so funny. I've always thought that being able to move up and down the emotional scale is important to healing. Early in our marriage, my hub taught me to laugh more than I used to. Love you, and looking forward to the book. 💟💟💟💟💟

You are both brilliant and such a great match. What a story.

Ares is an angel. So glad you all have each other, I just see so much love💗

“Can we cuss in this???” I felt that.

THE FENCE!!! Lol but seriously, thank you for sharing your story. Y'all are amazing, I'm so sorry you had to live thru that. Y'all are amazing parents. Prayers for your family. God bless.

What is the age difference between your brother and sister from tour mom? Did your brother find his dad? I would be interested in what his dad has to say about your mom.
