Such a nice family. All 5 of you. Including your outdoor pets.

[@lisabishop6266]

Ppl swear I am the birth mom to 1 of my kids lol. We gave up yrs ago, really doesn't matter to us either way. I helped raise her since before age 2 and she has now given me 3 healthy happy grand's!

Not planned is not necessarily an accident. Sometimes it’s just an unexpected surprise. What a beautiful hommage. ❤️

[@qcc5]

When my son first brought his, now wife, home to meet us, for the first time, with her 4 year old daughter, it was love at first sight for all of us. That little angel has now graduated college, and I thank God that his plan brought both of them into our lives. I feel your story, in the heart. Thank you! I always feel like I am the most blessed man in the world, but I know that God spreads it around.

[@paige6028]

This is the sweetest 💗 comment. Thank you for doing what you did for your daughter-in-law & granddaughter. I've been in her shoes.

The day my wife's son, Andy, called me dad was one of the best days of my life. Now, my son Andy, is a father and I couldn't be happier.

[@shirleysousa9739]

Weston is a lucky young man to have 2 such great parents.

[@FarmerFpv]

Dammit, who's cutting onions? This is such a beautiful thing. Daniel is a real man. Not many men like him around anymore. DJ, you have done an outstanding job. I wish nothing but wonderful things for you and your family's future. Weston seems like a nice young man. I can see why Daniel is proud to call him his son. Much love!

[@kthearcher3357]

Seriously, man. So many onions.

[@caniprayforyou]

This video is not about me and my Mom's life, but the story is very close to our life. This video had me crying. Mom and I should tell our story on video. She has been asking me to do it for years. I feel now the Lord is telling me, now that it is the time. God bless Danial, DJ, and Weston, as well as their younger children!

[@debpeterson4255]

Weston, I admire you for just sitting there so calm. Not all young people could or would do that.

You can tell he’s not a fan of sitting there….but he’ll do it for his Mama. Love it!

Weston reminds me of a young Patrick Swayze. Too cute. Thank God that he was brought up loving God. You both have done a great job raising all your kids . Weston is Blessed. Thank you Weston for being on this video. So happy to see you again.

Explaining your past is not necessary, it's your true love you have brought together to form a family is what love is all about !!!

[@brandeissports3436]

Thank you for sharing. I too got pregnant in college, twice. I raised my two alone. It is not easy. I admire you for being a single mom for some years and now telling your story. I’m sure it will help younger single parents. Well done D J. Now I have 8 grandchildren. My kids turned out great and I was not a perfect mom either.

[@nancykorsman8246]

My son married a young woman who had a son 10 years ago. At the time they got married the boy was 4 years old. Together they had another son. So now I have two grandsons, one 14 years old and one almost 10 years old. I love both of them very much and am so proud of my son and his ability and choice to be willing to see beyond the fact that my now lovely daughter-in-law already had a child. As you said God had a plan.

Westin is such a good looking man. You and Daniel did such a wonderful job raising him and he is lucky to have you both as his parents.

What a beautiful story. Daniel is truly a blessing from God, the world needs more Daniels.

[@kimsharpzook461]

Being a Mom is nothing less than amazing.

[@brendamartin3557]

Having young parents is a blessing when Weston is in his older years and you and Daniel are still alive. I thank god at my age of 62 that my mom is still here.

[@debraanneclark2188]

You should never have to explain your life to anyone but thank you for an insight into how your wonderful family begun. Daniel has and always been a dad to Weston because he may not be his biological parent doesn't make him any less a dad. Weston needs to take some lessons from Houston on talking on camera he is so quiet. Love how emotional Deejay gets but that's because she loves her family

This is one of the Greatest podcasts I've been privileged to watch!! I admire you for sharing such a profound & deeply personal time to you & Daniel! Weston has shown that his upbringing & closeness to Dad has paid back tenfold!! Never apologize for that period of your life as We All have a period of time that is not one of our shinest but we have gotten past & proud of what we are now!!!!!

[@RatdogDRB]

Westin, you missed a great opportunity. Near the end, if you'd've put an arm around each one and simply told them you loved them, they'd've both lost it and balled a puddle on camera. Yup, you have some good parents there young man.

Inspirational. All that matters is that Weston was raised in a loving family. U could’ve never told me this and by the way I’ve seen all y’all together I’d have never thought anything other than Daniel being his dad. Anyone can be a Father of a child but it takes a special person to be A Dad !

This is the second time in a month I've found myself wiping away tears at one of your videos. The other being the buy dirt video. You guys did not need to explain anything to anyone. But I am very thankful you share your life with us as it has helped me through some dark times and reminded me to be thankful for the things I've been blessed with.

[@pam_jackson]

OMG, I had to take three crying breaks to get through this. The most touchingly honest podcast of what it means to be a mother. I remember talking with my son one day when he ask me what was one thing in life that I have no regrets about, I replied " That's an easy one, you son ". Much respect to you for sharing your journey on the important things in life.

[@jamieg.1392]

I was you in 1986. Same situation. There is no love that compares to the love a mother has for her son(s!. I have been blessed with 2. Our youngest will be entering the Police Academy in the fall. I know exactly where your heart is with Weston. Thank you Daniel for becoming Weston's Dad! Stay blessed Arm's Family.

[@patyoung2042]

The best part of your background is you kept your baby and formed your world around him. Then you met the person God wanted as Weston’s father. You have a beautiful family. Be very proud as I know you are. Love watching your videos. God Bless you and your family. ❤️

[@debbierobertson3173]

Westen has such a beautiful smile 😊

[@karenshull9849]

I’m sure Weston has heard your story before and realizes what a huge blessing he is in your life. I teared up when you said he was the first person you ever loved, because I don’t think there is a greater love than for our own child. You did a wonderful job raising him and I agree with your song choice, Daniel is a very special person because so many men don’t step up and he seems like it came naturally.

This is a beautiful story. I cried when you did. Daniel and Weston were teary eyed as well. Weston is a quiet soft spoken young man who is doing well for himself. Daniel adopting him early on made a big difference in Weston's life. No matter what anyone says you have a family that was meant to be. I enjoy watching your channel because of who you are. All the right choices were made. God Bless

Yep, along w rattling off their full given name when they do something wrong or scarey lol. My only problem, which isn't really, is remembering that my oldest ,who is trans and only changed her name 2 yrs ago, hates her dead name. But she has been my oldest brat for almost 42 yrs now, so I just tell her she is a spoiled princess when she upsets me lol.

Great to see Weston! ..Weston, it all boils down to ~You are very special ~. ~ You are surely loved~. ..~ You are blessed~. Two wonderful, God-loving parents, who have supported you all your life. Most accidents I know are blessings beyond comprehension! My story is similar...but we tried nine years for a child, adopted 2 over 4 year time. We had our family..a girl then a boy. Then both of us at age 34, were so surprised when the doctor informed me I was pregnant.... we added to our precious gifts, a baby girl. What a blessing God gave us, three beautiful children. Now as a widow in my senior years this event is still blessing me as they now take care if me. God had a plan and His plans are always the very best! God has a plan for Weston too.

[@Jesussaves8961]

Weston has a great smile and seems genuine.I appreciate you sharing this. God bless you! I had two babies in my first marriage then divorced. When I started dating again I got pregnant with twins. Then when I sought to get married to my second(current) husband the preacher told me he would not marry us in his church and told me to give my twin babies up for adoption. I ended up getting married to the twins father outside in a park and we are still married 25 years later. In November 2015 I had a spiritual awakening and have struggled with my life decisions and sin, but I praise God for His forgiveness and mercy.

Your story has some similarities to mine. I understand your emotions all so well. My son and I are still close and he's 34. His biological father is not in our lives and my husband of 30 years became his father easily. I gave my son my maiden name so I never even suggested adoption since his name was the same as my grandfather, father and brother. I wanted it that way. Daniel's a good man like my husband.
