[@lorettatheibert1663]

I was reading some of the comments ... I want to say Melinda YOU are AWESOME to be supporting your sister the way you are. I know so many adults with special needs who are stuck living in group homes and other undesirable settings... It is so wonderful that you are willing to support your sister so she can have a full life and participate in the community and be around family and friends. I know so so so many who are not permitted because all their family turn their back on them and the government isolates them. Thank you for being a wonderful sister.

Melinda, you are so beautiful inside and out. You've overcome so much. I understand that people want to know things; however, I hope you know you never have to share more than you want to. The adoption story video you did with your parents on their channel is so thorough that it's okay if you just want to refer people to it. You should only do another video recounting all of that if it is healing for you. Don't do it just to answer questions from the audience. You are so strong and courageous. I'm also a survivor of sexual abuse and I can say that you are more together and responsible than I am and I'm twice your age.

[@JustPeachy998]

Hi Jamie and Melinda! So glad you guys have your own channel! I could watch you do Q&A's forever! Some questions (only answer If you feel comfortable): - Growing up, was your bio-mom involved in your lives? I've heard you mention your bio-dad many times, but haven't heard about a mom. Do you have a relationship with her now? How did she and your dad meet? Do you have any specific memories that stand out about her? - Melinda, you had a child quite young (me too!). I know your family is religious, and LDS discourages let's just say...'relations'...outside of marriage. Did your pregnancy cause any tension within your family? Their faith is clearly important to them, but they also seem to be progressive and understanding. - Jamie, can you tell us about how you felt meeting the Pettit family for the first time? What was your life like before them, as in, what was your typical day-to-day like? When they came out to Michigan, were you nervous? How did you feel about coming back with them to Arizona? Thank you SO much! Adore you both! xoxo -Ella

Pay attention to how they treat and talk to you. 2 Pay attention most especially how they behave toward and speak about others. Number 2 will reveal their true self.
