DAYSHAWN’S 14th BIRTHDAY!

[@GigglingHamster]

He’s really come out of his shell. He’s becoming so mature and he’s so happy and content. Really proud of him for staying humble.

[@JustRiss]

He is such a grateful kid, you can really tell how much he fits into the family and loves you guys. So happy to see how far he’s come

[@lisadorsi5628]

Dayshawn is the first kid I’ve seen that actually gets excited over gifts & actually says thank you for what he receives. Just goes to show that he actually has manners.

[@Calvin.rx1l]

@@munazzatahir228 I don't know if it's Alicia's influence because anytime she has received a gift she always says thank you. Some of the kids are autistic so they might not have the social cues to pick up when to thank their parents.

[@ramonahughes1451]

I would put Bree and Patrick in that category as well

Seeing how much joy you have caring for your children makes my heart so happy for them🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@mucber2000]

Dayshawn is a true sweetheart face-red-heart-shape He is so kind and nice , but all of your kids are . I don´t know what wrong with some people here maybe they are jelouse of what you´re having and what you could affort to the kids , but please ignore them . I am soo glad what you are doing for them , and i wished somebody would have done that for me when i was a kid . thank you Alicia and Josh and all the Familymembers Much love from Germany

[@educ84life70]

Great to hear Dayshawn speak - both to his team AND on the video! AND, great to see a Jaden sighting and Dayshawn, and all the Doughtery kids you are LUCKY and BLESSED beyond eternity to have the parents you do! You are all so generous and giving!

[@itsisabelle_13]

The way Dayshawn neatly puts his gifts back in the boxes and bags is everything! ❤

[@rhoadestraveled]

I remember back in the beginning you said he’d find his smile eventually. Look at him now he’s all smiles. It makes me tear up. You have loved them all well! Happy birthday, D! 🎉

[@korn1739]

He smiles because look how much material stuff he gets lol😅

[@Comptonisa]

Love doesn't equate to monetary things.

Thank You 🎉🎂🥳

[@rhoadestraveled]

@@DoughertyDozen you’re welcome! I’m so glad there are people in this world like you and Josh to love and care for these children like you do!

[@Tamika-g6m]

I love that you love these children like you actually carried them in your womb you are celebrating his life and healing past trauma at the same time I truly admire you may God continue to bless you and your family

[@Cherryvelvettt]

The presents these children get for their birthdays are so extravagant lol.

[@Wasoska]

Insane

[@Cherryvelvettt]

@@Wasoska totally lol.

[@parristraylor]

That is how it should be, it’s their day. Kids only have one childhood, you should make the best of it to the best of your ability.

[@Cherryvelvettt]

@@parristraylor and spend thousands of dollars ??? That seems a bit excessive.

[@ahhh4117]

@@Cherryvelvettt I grew up poor and my mom always told me she'd get us nicer gifts if we could afford it. I'd never fault someone for doing that. It's also nice to know that what she makes from youtube clearly goes to the kids

[@MrsMeraz-pt2kq]

It looks like Dayshawn is flourishing with your family! God Bless your family Alicia!

[@karenboden587]

I have loved watching Dayshawn blossom 🥰

[@Just_Jayy]

Happy Birthday Dayshawn!! 🎉 Thank you Alicia, Josh & community for showing how love heals trauma. Dayshawn is blossoming. It’s been a joy to see his personality develop.

[@DoughertyDozen]

Thank You 🎉🎂🥳

[@MindyOlson-j2g]

Happy birthday d! Your such a sweetheart, I hope you have many more special birthdays to come!!

[@Caait23]

He would develop and grow so much more if he wasn’t in their care!

[@PrincessJLE0307]

You are an amazing Mom, Alicia! YOU are strong, lovely, and wonderful.

[@Darealx]

Dayshawn has grown soo much in every area of his life. Turned out to be so solid and an awesome gentleman. Love his sense of humour. Happy birthday 🥳 Dayshawn

[@DoughertyDozen]

Thank You 🎉🎂🥳

[@karienah01]

Dayshawn feliz cumpleaños!! Gracias por ser un jovencito agradecido. Aprovecha todas las oportunidades que te presente la vida para salir adelante y alcanzar tus sueños. Dios te bendiga y que cumplas muchos años más🎉

[@rhiangwilt617]

Dayshawn as changed so much in the past 18 months. Such a great kid. Happy birthday, Dayshawn.

[@DoughertyDozen]

Thank You 🎉🎂🥳

[@T.D.8]

I was once DayShawn and I can tell you that the life and love you are giving him will change… is changing his life and I am sure helping make up for a lot, in addition to helping heal so much trauma. He totally deserves a birthday month. As do all kids, in my opinion, but especially kids who didn’t have birthdays for most of their childhood.

[@pollyj8826]

It’s so wonderful seeing how dayshawn has thrived in the last year. He is so happy. All he needs is two more legs to wear alll the shoes lol

[@candacewilliams9829]

That's so cute, do you see how excited the dog got when they started singing happy birthday, and he was being held like a little baby. He got so excited, I think he thought it was his birthday, lol. Happy Birthday Deshawn!!

[@amyk6453]

Dayshawn is so sweet just like all of these kids because they are so loved and they appreciate it because they didn't always have that kind of attention. Alicia, josh and their supportive family are amazing. I love watching the videos. One of the very few I watch regularly.

[@Nikkifrom1989]

I came because someone made a video critiquing everything you do with your kids.. but nothing they said was really a big deal. I am a mom too so I know how it goes. and I have to say… you gave this young man a wonderful birthday. You’re an amazing mom! I hope he stays in your home indefinitely! Just look at how happy and proud he was with his football team. Your kids are so lucky!

[@dorothygiles2118]

Wow, a kid who says thank you!

[@louisehawkes7641]

[@ivanapekarovicova5438]

Idk what happened but Dayshawnd looks happier than ever ! He is glowing with joy❤ and not because of presents😊 I hope he stays with you guys forever

[@marcferguson2054]

Happy belated Birthday. It‘s so wholesome to finally see a kid say „thank you“ and Look at every gift (not just throwing it around) 😊 he even had a comment for everything. That‘s really wonderful. A polite young man with good manners. He will find his way in life 😊 kind regards to his sister, I hope he can stay in contact 😊

[@ganmudan]

my parents also threw me parties when I was kid, but always gave me practical gifts versus what I wanted LOL. like bedsheets. I think its so nice you are able to do this for your kids, one day they will be off in the world and will look back and cherish what you did for them. you dont appreciate it when you are young, but definitely will when you are grown.

[@karenmclachlan3677]

What a lovely boy lots of thank you’s and very appreciative his siblings should learn from him x

[@ahhh4117]

I think its interesting how ur kids dont usually interact with the camera. They interact with you and each other but its more like a home video than like traditional family channels and I really appreciate that about how u film Like ur kids are just living their lives and you happen to be filming not the other way around

[@megpy3775]

You are buying your kids love. This is absolutely ridiculous. And it’s SO obvious who your favorites are.

There was no need to comment on his past birthdays, that we not celebrated. If he were to hear that I would think it would be painful for him.

I wonder how many siblings they each have individually or biological though they all one family but I think that be cool to see how many siblings they all want or for her to ask each child their dream job or what kind of pet or vechile they would want or some items from their bucket lists

[@micahhewlenharrell2259]

All I I can say is she takes great care of those kids make sure they eat makes sure they have clothes on they back and a roof over their heads… she makes videos about her family but I’m more then sure that money is being invested into those kids!! Look at how much she dose for them she puts the kids first❤️
