I’m an Afro American and I was adopted by an Italian family so I applied you both for giving such an adorable child a lovely home 👍😊😍

[@dontwakethedeadp.jankey9592]

Nice to see a positive comment. So many have asked why their child was not their color.

[@lamar6007]

@@dontwakethedeadp.jankey9592 those people that say that in their eyes, they probably only see one color

ABRIEL IS A GIFT! WHAT AN AMAZING SWEET BABY! GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY! 🙏💖

[@beckycox7527]

I have just watched all your shorts and it brings me back to when I had put my baby up for adoption. I couldn't tell you how many people called me a bad mother for giving my daughter up for adoption. It is one of the most amazing gifts you could give couples who are unable to have a baby. One of the hardest part for me was not hearing I love you mommy. Keep being amazing to your baby, and forget the haters!😍😍😍😍💚💚💚💚

[@nubianq333]

What a difficult decision to have to make..but what a wonderful gift of love you gave to 3 people.

[@leecampbell8414]

Just lost my boy yesterday 💔 watching the love you have as a family made me smile. Thank you wishing you all the best for future xx

Birth mom and adoptive mom looks alike and that’s why little Abe does resembles Ashley. He’s soooooo adorable 🥰

[@monamurphy3489]

I love y'all too but the other day on Dr Phil the topic was parents who give their kids too much public exposure. True your family oozes love and (you and Abriel) are blessed. Dr. Phil warned about the dangers of the world we live in and you can be sure it's a dangerous place to live.

[@ditanurcahya2869]

[@vickielynn4404]

Keep focused on being Abriel’s best friend, Daddy.. Mommy ….. it will pay off nicely when he becomes teenager in knowing he can trust your feelings and opinions …. Many parents miss out on being the children’s BEST FRIEND

[@MarleneGreen]

Your videos are oozing with an abundance of Love, Joy, Fun and Happiness!!! Don't allow trolls or critics of any ethnicity to steal your joy. Ignore them and give them no attention by responding. Kids of all races need to be loved and adored so that they grow up to be kind, loving and decent adults. You're doing a fabulous job of showing people how to do it! When the time comes to address unique ethnic and cultural concerns for black boys, you'll know what to do and who to go to. Stay Well. Cheers!

[@MichelleH_]

My goodness Abriel is SOOOO cute, I can’t even stand it!!! Loved the Q&A guys! Super stoked to find out what the exciting news is!!!

[@barbarasnetiker3452]

I am a 72 year old white woman. I was brought up to treat everyone equally, NOT to see color. I am so glad of that. Two of my best friends of over 25 years are black!

[@WomanWithFemalePelvis]

Same. I grew up with the neighbours little boy in our house, who was Chinese. My grandma babysat him (we lived with my Nonna). He was treated exactly the same as we were by my Nonna. I still don't get why there is any difference. I don't see it or feel it.

[@mika9916]

He's getting so big and handsome. Thanks for sharing your life and stories with us.

[@tabathaletson5040]

First of all the love & humor in your family is beautiful! & Steven is freaking hilarious! I usually stick to watching shorts cuz my adhd brain can't stay focused for a video. But yall are one of the few family's that I can watch an entire video. Yall are truly amazing parents & humans. & you're so inspiring for adoptive families! 😁🥰🩷

[@jilli_beans]

You guys are such an amazing and wonderful family. It makes my heart so happy to follow you all. I just love the relationship you have with mama Kayla… Ashley, you are an absolutely beautiful and caring woman and so inspiring for so many. Thank you both for having such big open hearts and showing folks how beautiful open adoption can be.🥰❤️

[@krystleray5030]

I hope this family gets a million subs.

[@MrSimon1909]

why?

[@HillaryBTV]

@@MrSimon1909 *It is obvious why!! 💯🤦‍♀️ They are actually amazing parents to this sweet, little boy who deserves to have great parents, and he does!! This couple and their son have beautiful souls!! 🙏❤️ Not to mention, they are doing ‘Open Adoption’ with Abriel’s birth mother, which is honestly even more great of these parents! They have so much love and most people don’t! Most people would also not want the birth mom to be around their child, but they allow this and it’s beautiful and amazing for the boy as well to know where he comes from and to have extra love in his life!! Abriel’s mom here and his birth mom get along so good!! They are great friends.. Overall, this family is just awesome, humble, caring, loving, sweet, etc. And that’s just some of the reasons why they deserve 1 million subs!!* 💪💯🙏❤️

[@phillipabentick4950]

I love the way you both treat Abriel, he seems very comfortable❤️

[@deepikagupta2499]

It's so nice to see your videos with your cutie. What has become normal for you was a bit strange for me at first, but was so relieving that there are people in this world who keep this love and kindness alive. Kudos to you both and your son has got the best family.

[@VoiceoftheSeraphim]

Abriel is adorable and such a character. I love watching your family grow. Also, I just have to say that Ashley is looking fabulous. You can tell you are putting work in and it shows.

[@NicoleAllwood]

Look at God! You said you are hoping to having about her baby within a year and this was posted 11months ago and you are expecting! Hallelujah! The Lord is so faithful! Congratulationssss!! 🙏🏿💕

You two are soooo amazing my prayers are with you,keep up the good work,Abriel will grow to be strong and knows that he is loved,doesnt matter the color,When God made the world he didnt consider one color it made all things beautiful,love your family.

[@todayicelebrateme]

Jeremiah 29:11 is my absolute favorite! I love 12-14. It comforts me so much! I so appreciate you giving Abriel his heritage and sharing yours with him. Allowing him to grow into the person God intended him to be. I think your blue print is beautiful! Stay blessed!

They have the same chunky cheeks and smile. Before I knew he was adopted , I thought she is not with her ex and this guy stepped up to the challenge. Great job. Keep it up.

[@claudiascott6484]

So glad to learn you two are Believers. Abriel is really fortunate to reside with Christians. By the way, do you reside in NYC, or elsewhere? I'm a very new subscriber. Jeremiah 29:11 ☺️

[@jacquecrenshaw7916]

I dont know if anyone's told you this or you know ut. Discipline now! So so easy. 6 adopted kids here totally learned parenting. If you haven't established discipline when they're teens you are in for it. Also discipline never means spanking in our home. Same time stuff, routines. Letting them know on their super highway of growing up your the concrete barriers on the side.

[@nubianq333]

Abriel is such a loving child with two loving and disciplined parents. Dont deny him opportunities to also learn the values of restraint and control so well observed in his parents.

[@Tee-kc3pn]

The weird thing about all of this is the birth mom and adoptive mom resemble each other.

[@sophiizplace]

He has her complete smile...to me he looks more like her, than the other lady....🤔...and what was the reason for her giving up her baby again?...Most mothers would seem kinda sad, right?..🤷🏽‍♀️. But, it doesn't matter...I love them as a family.....I just dont see the need to say the child DOESN'T look like her.....When clearly he does. ...and if he does....My next question would be, SO WHAT?...But it's like they're trying so hard , to prove that he's NOT hers. Why? This child isHealthy... and he's Happy!!... I feel at the end of the day?....that is ALL that matters, He has a loving Morher, and his "Right Hand Man" for a Dad! ... a child couldn't ask for much more than that. I Would like to see more Brain teasers with him....He's a really smart little boy...

[@martaalexander5202]

Just something to consider about your comment. Mom can be sleep deprived and still give her all during the day? Is her job as a SAHM easier so she can do all her work and care for him while sleep deprived? You seem like a lovely couple and have hopefully worked out a system that is good for both of you which is all that matters. I enjoy your videos and your son is adorable.

[@Bigbosslady007]

I love y'all and he's a very happy baby!!!!! Keep up the great work on raising Abriel.

there is definitely some similarity in Abriel and Ashley face/bone structure. And it would be really sweet to tell him that. I only say that since you talk about him looking just like Mama Kayla...
