[@Dan5819]

What an angel Mama Essie is!!! Wow, i don't think I could have fostered children who are so hurt and doing things like stealing from you, etc. Yet Mama Essie was an angel and UNDERSTOOD what was going inside these children.

[@ajohonly3721]

Now that’s a mom right 🤎

[@lichi1244eva]

[@soniaharrison1016]

She looks just as young as the daughters

[@karenhunter1120]

And everything Mama Essie, Did she put God first. Before she walked out from behind those doors, She acknowledged Him by pointing up. Before thanking Tamara for the gift she praised God first, by rasing her hands.... this is what God wants from us....To Put HIM 1st Before ALL Things🙏🏾🫶🏾🤲🏽

[@ruthhailu9886]

😊so sweet 💞

[@deneiceoutlaw9510]

Mama Essie a woman of God. She Loved the little children that were forgotten about. She made something great out of their lives. Thank God for her love for others. She is such a blessing. I had a dream to be a foster parent but never fulfilled it. I took the foster parent class, but everything stopped there. So sorry I did not prevail to become a foster parent. I am glad though that others like mama Essie did.❤😔😪😥

[@annamc8228]

What a humble woman!!

[@patriciaartley5155]

What a blessing 💃

[@victoriaallen3753]

Such a beautiful, beautiful story! Bless them all!

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

I just sadly and devastatingly loss my beloved adopted mom, the mom I never had…😥💔😰 This segment moved me to tears, my phenomenal adopted mom was, the mother I never had, and at times father even.😥😪😥 As my dad also has been gone 20 years this, coming May.💔 Being parentless has such a deep hole & void, that my mom once filled, all that I am. The molding sense of grounding, the structure, my mom was a foster mom for over 23 years to many boys & girls also of all races etc… I became, the one she ended up adopting, I miss you mom immensely & dad. 😰💔😪 It’s hard being here without her and my dad, Tamron thank you for this personally moving heart touching story, ugh.😪🙏🏾❤️‍🩹 Mom forever abide with me please, and my dad. #GriefHurts #Adopted

[@simplyp5521]

😭 I’m an adoptee too. Lost both of my Aparents and grieving living biological parents who rejected me. People don’t understand, even the best stories and outcomes are filled with grief. It’s tough, hang in there 🤗

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

@@simplyp5521 😢🙏🏾❤️‍🩹Ohhh you too, have my deepest sympathies & my most, sincerest condolences also to you as well. I don’t get to often, meet many fellow adoptees or others like me/us who’ve been in the foster care system. Or a product of foster care, you profoundly said it very well. It’s a double edged sword that you have the deep heavy grief over the parents/parent who adopted you, becoming the parents/parent you never had. Then there’s the family we’ve been born into and unasked for all of this as well whom end up rejecting along with denouncing us also. If not our very own, existence.💔😪💔 Society doesn’t understand that at all or could possibly ever unless they’ve too been through it. The pro-lifers along with the extreme conservatives certainly choose to selectively if not, hypocritically get it either. Sadly turning a blind eye, while many, many children/teens, abandoned, displaced, unwanted continue to slip through the cracks or worse.💔🙏🏾😢 Again my most sincerest condolences to you.🕊️💛🕊️ I thank you also for your words & care as well.

[@shereem3291]

World we need this kind of people to make this place a better place .....so thank you miss Essie 😊

Just when you may believe that the world has gone MAD.. this beautiful spirit proves that there still is love,kindness and compassion in this universe. May God Continually Bless and Keep Mama Essie!!!♥️🙏🏾

[@drekafine8831]

Sooooo, my happy ending would be the 3 of them taking a nice trip somewhere where they're able to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, spend QUALITY TIME getting to know the ADULTS they've become, stay in touch with one another, and never leave each other's life again😏🤷🏽‍♀️

Thats old school love right there. And the sad part about all of this is that the children of today... so many of them will not be able to understand what it is to be loved with grace. We have to dig in humans. We have to do more for our babies. Guidance and Blessings to them
