Faith and Familia: Episode Five

[@kikaashanike4425]

This series belongs on Netflix or a streaming platform! So so well produced..literally glued! Thank you for sharing and blessing so many.

[@julianamartinamusic]

I totally agree!

[@Miss_Zimu]

Absolutely!!

[@nicole61092]

I agree!!

[@jacquelineotto4148]

For real these episodes need to be on Netflix.

[@sele8235]

Yes!

[@simplyeli28]

This series highlights the IMPORTANCE of trying different doctors until you find one that works for you! Never be embarrassed or ashamed of seeking different doctors. Thank you for sharing this! ❤️

[@CrystalM1917]

Right!!! And it shouldn't be taken personally. At the end of the day, you've got to be satisfied with knowing you've tried every avenue you could in a journey so vitally important as having a child. Success is the goal but at least you can say I have no regrets, no should'ves could'ves, if it still didn't work out....

[@blkangelflame]

The power of women doctors in this field is also immeasurable. Says a lot and they just have a different and very valuable perspective!

[@KarlaBedminister]

They don't like to do this in the Caribbean 🇩🇲. Again, limited income to keep going n going to different doctors.

[@MrsShanaMarie]

My husband and i were trying for 7.5 years. Then found out I had a damaged fallopian tube and cyst on my uterus. I had surgery to remove one fallopian tube. And about a year later I was pregnant. I’m so glad you all are sharing!! ❤️

[@anitamedic2339]

Awesome!

[@LC-lf8se]

Did you have anything done to the cyst if you don't mind sharing?

[@MrsShanaMarie]

@@LC-lf8se I don’t mind sharing. Almost 5 years ago I had a hysterectomy. At that time my doctor removed the cyst off my ovary. Looking back I’m not sure why a doctor didn’t remove the cyst when I had a fallopian tube removed. Maybe he was afraid he would damage my ovary at the time.

[@Samantha-dv4gg]

Awww congratulations to you both

[@TheUnderratedMama]

The fact that ALL of this was going on and you both showed up in this world and still poured out so much - YOUR SON WILL FOREVER BE PROUD OF THE SUPERHEROS HE HAS AS PARENT 😍😍

[@juneawambui]

Right? Like we were over here watching her live her life, house hunt, make music, take road trips and not once did they look like the discouragements happening in the background. It is amazing. More blessings to them. ❤️❤️❤️

[@PatriciaRose907]

So true.

[@monique2396]

This is one of the craziest fertility journey I’ve ever heard. Wow! I really can’t believe that these things can really happen to a person and yet still your resilience is still at 100%. You’re amazing A!

[@freedom4063]

Vaccines and birth control pills are bad and unhealthy but woman don't listen

[@monique2396]

@@freedom4063 birth control has set me back a few months before I got pregnant even though I made sure to detoxify every year

[@jinnydeluca]

I totally resonate with your boat story. My hubby and I were married 4 years with no babies in sight. We prayed and prayed and prayed. For years. One day a coworker texted me and asked if I wanted to adopt her granddaughter. Boat! It wasn't what we thought our story would be, and my hubby was very resistant. I told him you don't ask God for a baby year after year and then when he hand delivers one to your life say no thanks God. I'm SO glad we got on the boat! God knows what he's doing!

[@briannashewfelt4511]

Adrienne & Israel, thank you so much for sharing such an intimate, hard, but beautiful story with us! We’ve watched you from a teen to a beautiful woman! Huge congrats on your special baby! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@gloriaemon6624]

the way you guys advocated for yourself throughout this journey is insanely admirable. Adrienne legit said yeah, no

[@jessbeautiful1]

Exactly what I was thinking. Many REI are men, including the one I see because there aren’t any women REIs in my area, which is insane.

[@zairabandy8695]

shouldn't we want the MEN doctor to become better doctors too??? the men doctors aren't going away and they get to take care of many women, so shouldn't they become better at their job so their patient feel good with them?

[@jessbeautiful1]

@@zairabandy8695 yes, but I think this is still missing the mark. I’m a physician myself (anesthesiologist so I work with lots of OBs). And sadly, there was a joke in Med school about male OBGYNs - it was said that men who didn’t get into surgery, went into OBGYN. (And even moreso for gyn-oncology and REIs - as an ego thing). Ok, I know that’s a very tasteless joke but that’s literally what people said. Yes, of course many men care about women’s issues, but I do unfortunately think more men get props as OBs vs women just for existing lol and people down play the importance of women OBs. Yes of course we both want them to be equally good, but the stats I know about most REIs being men, I think there is an equity issue and should be some more advocacy for women REIs. Because in medicine, men are automatically assumed to be competent physicians and women are not. Especially in a specialty where the perspective of women physicians can be very important.

[@millyh4660]

I had the HSG test after YEARS of never getting pregnant, but definitely trying. I had an ectopic pregnancy about 8 years prior to my test that caused an emergency surgery and the loss of the pregnancy and a fallopian tube. During my hsg appointment I experienced everything Adrienne said. At the end of my appointment, the doctor said my surviving fallopian had the fimbriae end closed and the dye pushed through and opened it. I am so grateful for my team of doctors. They really took care of me. Dr. Cooper delivered all 3 of my children. I got pregnant the month after this test, the next year and 3 years after that! I hope Adrienne’s story encourages anyone struggling with fertility ❤❤️

[@theechubbyone]

I know we're all waiting and living on God's timing but it would be incredibly joyous to have this series not only end with Ever's birth but a pregnancy announcement this year

[@EveD123]

That's what I'm hoping for too

[@Diamy]

Amennnnn 🙏🏽

[@noeliagonzalez4947]

Yess me too.

[@stef623623]

I swear I was thinking the same . Wouldn’t it be amazing

[@tiffanyv.9720]

i swear every episode im like theyre gonna announce that they have more eggs and are having another baby!! i would just love that lol

[@kathymorelperez9695]

I am in the medical field and this is the best Layman’s terms of Fertility explanation I have ever heard! 👏🏼👏🏼 to Adrienne for explaining to everyone these procedures.

[@nicoleebanks7]

The storytelling is just impeccable! definitely award-winning! But most rewarding is you're helping so MANY families!!!

[@KabeloEmilyNell]

The boat analogy wow! We really do delay ourselves with these weird expectations of how and when we expect God to show up for us, how and when we expect God to bless us and grow that it blinds us to what He’s actually doing. His ways and thoughts are above ours always 🙌🏾🥺

[@tiffanyaldridge7380]

I love this series! I was told 4 years ago that my tubes were blocked and that I would need help (IVF) 42:52 if I ever had a child. I found out I was pregnant last November. I got pregnant naturally without trying. God is and will always be faithful. I hope this story inspires someone out there to continue to believe and have faith.

[@abenak1309]

This is what I needed to read today as I've been told that both my fallopian tubes are blocked. God bless you for sharing ❤

[@SL.444]

As a fertility nurse, I have loved watching your story. As a woman and a mother I admire your resilience and your knowing that you would one day become a mother. Being a RN and working in the medical field for over 20 years, I have seen over and over that you absolutely have to advocate for yourself! Fertility patients have such a special place in my heart, I absolutely love my job, I love educating people, supporting them, and helping them feel.. they are not alone. Helping to bring babies into this world is my absolute calling. Thank you for sharing such a personal and vulnerable time in your lives. You have one blessed baby boy, may God continue to watch over all of you. Amen 🙏🏼

[@djandejdoitall7742]

I am blown away by your story. I follow your content closely, and I remember all the pandemic episodes of The Real, All Things Adrienne and Worship Wednesdays. You gave so much to your supporters when you were going through so much. God bless! Your baby boy is gorgeous and so happy.

[@babylimonlips01]

So true !!! Saw her many times live, and she was so amazing 👏 she pushed thru her sadness 😔 and her struggles. She is so strong 💪

[@hannahdadieng6078]

Asides being a sacred and intimate story it is also so informative , thank you Adrienne and Israel for sharing this 🙏🏽

[@eden.vega1003]

Adrienne and Isreal, I am not someone who typically comments, but I have always been a silent supporter of your family - usually watching in awe of the abundance of love and joy that can be seen, even in the bits and pieces you feel comfortable sharing with us. As my husband and I are on a similar journey, watching this series has been very healing for me after so much loss. At times, I relate so much that I cry with you. Others, I smile and choose to be inspired by the hope you've had on your own journey to your happily Ever after. I am inspired by your faith. I am inspired by your resilience. Not only did I almost give up on my relationship with God, I almost gave up on life. I aim to be as vibrant and graceful as you both moving forward, come what may on my path to fulfilling the Lord's purpose for me. I look forward to the day I can emulate the kind of love your family embodies with my own children. Thank you for sharing.

[@christinaa8824]

Currently going through a miscarriage and I am so glad we have video series like these to help women not feel alone 🙏

[@meganmathew99]

I remember when i first joined medical college.. i saw Adrienne talk about how much she wanted to be a mother. As a person who has never even met her.. i prayed soo hard for her.. i prayed everytime i watched her.. wishing nothing more than a child for her. And im now in final year and im soo happy i see this today.. and i love how honest she is about her whole journey

[@jennifertaylor-wright7694]

Thank you for this it’s absolutely magical, your vulnerability is truly beautiful…. ONE THING I have to mention that I’ve noticed in this series or just in general is that Adrienne whenever she has (not a moment of weakness) but rather a sentimental moment of sadness or pain, she sticks her hand out to Israel and his response in comforting her to be her source of strength in that moment truly defines what I see to be a wonderful union between you two. It’s that submission to one another and I just have to say Amen to that! ❤

[@yournutritionphysicians]

We had a similar experience, I was 42 when I gave birth for the 1st time. I'm an acupuncture doctor, licensed nutritionist and my husband is the best bloodwork reader. With lots of prayers, and lots of changes to our dietary regimen, and correcting my bloodwork deficiencies we gave birth to our 1st son. Due to this experience we now have free webinars for women between the ages of 25-65 to help correct "hormonal imbalances". We have dedicated our lives to reversing root cause condition and helping women live happier, more hormonally balance and energetics lifes. We are "YOUR NUTRITION PHYSICIANS".

What an exhausting journey! I used to have a negative opinion on surrogacy but after hearing your story I completely understand it now. God bless the surrogate and all the helpful doctors and attorneys for making it happen. Congratulations for you baby boy❤

[@lifenbloom]

As a surrogate, it is so amazing seeing the journey candidly from this perspective. My IPs are amazing, and have had a journey get similar to yours. We have our second embryo transfer a week from today. Like you said, this definitely is a calling, and I’m so happy I get to be a part of this journey! Thank you both for sharing your journey and being so vulnerable, open and honest ❤

[@louise7548]

So pleased for you both,my first baby girl sadly passed away at 8 days from a geneicic issue called Jacob Syndrome, even though my husband and l were not carriers. My husband and l both longed for a child for many years. The Lord in his wisdom may have saved you both from this. Your children become such a miracle when you go through something like this. A year later we were blessed with a child and four years after, another child, both heatlthy wonderfull boys now becoming men. Enjoy your baby and all the joy he brings, its the best time when they are young and at a tender age. Miss it so much now 😊 at times !

[@heatherfrye7538]

I’m choosing to rejoice with those who are seeing their dreams/destinies realized! Your journey sure is emotional yet so beautifully hopeful! 😢🥰❤️ Thank you for sharing! 🥲

[@Mom2jems]

Wow. You hear about fertility issues but I personally have never heard an actual story. It brings tears to my eyes. The fact that someone could go through all of this and not give up on what they truly want is definitely a true definition of faith. Congratulations on not losing strength, finding peace in all the trouble, and for getting on that boat that God placed in the sea for you. It takes a lot of courage to tell such an intimate, personal story. Also, congratulations on the babyyyyyyyy!!! All is God's timing 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

As a mother who has lost two babies, one through still birth and the other as a second trimester miscarriage, this is healing. Even though I don’t personally know you or your family, it makes me feel like I’m in community with my sister in Christ, who has felt the pain, cried those desperate cries and had those sorrow prayers. I knew this one was going to make me cry and it brought some healing tears girl. So thank you for sharing yours and Israel’s journey. God bless #mamaof4

[@airiellelewis1109]

As a women with a blocked tube due to Endometriosis, who had both of her babies due to the blessings of IUI...this channel and your story is so inspiring and brings back so many memories. So happy you never gave up the fight!!!! I know you're going to be the best mommy ever!!!

[@larajean6756]

I totally understand that you guys kept your journey all to yourselves and family, because unsolicited advice from people is so annoying ! Like , they don’t know what you’re going through…. But now that baby Ever is here , great time to share with those that need to hear that there is still hope and you’re not alone ❤❤❤

[@sunshinegirl02]

Absolutely belongs on Netflix I agree. God never waste pain or any story this encourages me to brave every storm because God will use it for his glory. It's a story not just about fertility but about faith hope and the goodness of GOD. THANK YOU GUYS FOR SHARING.

🥲I have a knot in my throat watching this, trying not to cry holding my 3 month baby boy in my arms. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey to parenthood guys ❤️ I have 3 little boys of my own and I cannot imagine my life without them. Being a mom/dad is absolutely the best thing in the entire world. God bless you

It’s the Faith for me! With all these tests and trials for years! I can’t even imagine how they still had hope. It is only God! What a blessing to have Israel on this journey with you. Right by your side. He is really your purpose partner in every sense of those words.

[@nuhopetv]

Your journey ministers to me. My wife & I make 10 yrs this year. But for the 1st 5-6 yrs we were trying and trying. No preventing anything and NOTHING. Hope started dwindling and giving up starting to sit in. Seeing are siblings at the same time starting to have kids, yes we were happy for them, but also inside we’re like “damm God, what about us???!”….. it was tough. We also didn’t have the finances to do all these big treatments, no real insurance just Medicaid….. it was a very dark time. Everybody told us try not to think about it…stress about it because that doesn’t help. But 1 day at church a guest preacher, who doesn’t know us from left or right prayed for my wife and told her to look up this Bible verse “1 Samuel 1:11 And she made a vow, saying, "LORD Almighty, if you will only look on your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LoRD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head." After service, my wife looks for it by herself and calls me from the back, and we cried together. All we had was HOPE. My wife started going to a nutritionist. She just focused on just feeling better about herself and start eating healthy. After losing 20-30 pounds with her nutritionist’s diet plan, and 6 years married we finally get pregnant. Whats crazy is, the # 6 biblically means completion. And 7 yrs = Rest. In 2020 our daughter was born and she just turned 3 a week ago. Thank you for sharing your journey because it made me reminisce on how blessed we are, and how good God is. 🙏

Forgiveness is what I got from this segment. I think of how I would have reacted to new discoveries during the testing AFTER trying to get pregnant for yrs.

Coming into an unplanned pregnancy and being afraid, you're story has really put into perspective that everything happens for a reason and you don't have to fear life bc God always has a plan. Watching your journey makes me appreciate mine a little more especially since I've struggles with perinatal depression. Thank you guys. AMEN🙏

This series is the most incredible, inspiring, candid experiences I have ever watched. Since I’ve started watching this amazing couple they short nothing but a great team that they have in each other. THIS STORY IS AMAZING and I am glad of how you guys choose to deliver it. The effort, care, and patience through this series is splendid. Your story, will be lingering in many homes and the greatest thing about it, is that it exemplifies HOPE, AND FAITH! Your love and family is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

I literally watched episode 1-5 in one evening! This was so real and honest. I feel so seen in this moment. We did two IVF cycles and three transfers. We’ve had two losses and three earth-side babies. This process is so hard and I feel like people don’t understand it unless they go through it. Thank you for opening yourself and your journey to the public. I want you know I really appreciate that you named and kept the names of your angel babies to yourself. I also named all of my babies. People can be so nasty and your babies and your hearts don’t deserve that. I’m so proud of you.

[@anaparra7332]

I know you might not see this. I’ve been watching your surrogacy journey. I’ve always said I wanted to do this but your video now has sparked such an interest again in wanting to help a family and becoming a surrogate. Thank you for sharing. God bless ♥️

Adrienne and Israel were clearly going through so much on their journey to having baby Ever. It saddens me that the whole time one of her fallopian tubes was blocked and she didn't know. I'm so glad that they were referred to a Dr that was able to find that and the chromosome issue. It's so sweet to see how Adrienne and Israel interact with one another. I also like how this was filmed. They are doing a great job discussing what I'm sure was a painful and very personal issue.

Well, Adrienne, you opened up a lot of hearts and minds with your surrogacy journey... Sending your surrogate (and her loved ones) continued health and joy. Thankful for all the OBGYNS , doctors,lawyers etc who introduced you to the most broad-minded yet focused version of you physically and mentally in order to become a parent . You should be so proud of this journey of personal growth & I hope you saw how crazy strong you are , because we all did. You are certainly one of the strongest crayons in the box... 🙂 For me at least, There is nothing more inspiring than a person growing up in any which way required to get to where they know they belong ... From showbiz to enterprenuership to parenthood you really have shown us all how its done. Hats off.

[@corylynn918]

I pray Oprah sees this. I wish I knew how to get this to her. Your journey needs to be shared...I watched you on The Reel and you only showed how grateful and faithful you were. I also listen to Alpha and Omega with Isreal and New Breed, along with you and Isreal's daughter in the video. You two are an example of how good God is... It's in his time🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@therealjadachanel6710]

You guys are so divine and deserving of this beautiful journey. It's so amazing how strong you both are as individuals, as a married couple, and NOW PARENTS! I have cried a lot during all the episodes I feel like I am apart of the Familia. Ever is literally a miracle sent from heaven above, All Praise To The Most High!

[@chasitysmith1080]

Thank y’all for opening up to y’all’s fans about a serious topic! I know that has to be hard! Love y’all so much ❤❤❤

[@Luckygyrl74]

As a person who was diagnosed with Turner's Syndrome all the symptoms you described I had when I was first diagnosed at 15. Being told as a teenager that you would not be able to have children when the time comes can really shock you. Thank you for being transparent with your journey

[@Eapadil]

I appreciate how vulnerable you both have been! So inspiring! It’s crazy how we can have all these plans for ourselves but then God does the complete opposite and it turns out being way MORE amazing then we could’ve ever thought. Jeremiah 29:11 🥰🙏🏼 So happy for you both!

[@bajanbreezy]

It is so crazy that in the midst of you trying to bring life in the world and in the midst of a rough time, you brought so much joy via the Real & other shows you were on and brought so much faith music. You are bringing business to Dr. Cain which is great. I love that you both looked at each other a lot during all these episodes as little affirmations/reminding us of yall bond. This is why having the right doctor for you physically, mentally, and emotionally whether it is for surrogacy, for mental health, or just overall for physical health.

[@ximenacardona107]

I am in tears, but I am just in awe at the journey 💗

[@abigailmetcalf7606]

I am diagnosed with Turner Syndrome and thank you for sharing your story

[@krystallarson2688]

So powerful. It never makes sense when you’re going through it.. but look back and it all was meant to be. You guys are the definition of FAITH. Xoxo

[@Crisbear46]

Isn't it amazing how God is present and guiding our lives with purpose. Never a time that he will let us fall. Even his no has a yes wrapped in it--we just have to trust him. Oops, I'm crying again❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@EveD123]

I'm so glad that you got your dream baby Adrienne. He's so sweet and he looks exactly like his dad
