I've only seen a few tik tok videos and this entire time I thought that Tiger was the biological twin of one of the other kids, it was just genes being weird . I think it's because she looks a lot like her dad. Also at first I was like "what kind of name is Tiger??" then I realized all the kids have animal names and understood it was a cute way to keep the kids' privacy.

I gotta tell ya, I’ve been working with children for over 30 years. During those years, I paid very close attention to how my coworkers interacted with children. Some were “so-so”; and very few were actually genuinely good with children. After watching this video and seeing how you are with Tiger, I just want to tell you that you’re a genius, you’re a saint and I desperately wish there were millions of other moms, mentors, and teachers that were just like you. You are a true blessing!

This precious and beautiful (of heart & exterior), mom is positively a woman whom we can all learn a thing or two from... she is a gift from God, and so very uniquely priceless. ❤️🙏🏼🎶😉

[@brandycarter558]

@K10 ; You're absolutely right. It's a beautiful thing whenever a person has the charitable heart to accept a needy child into their heart and home to offer that child(ren) every necessity for emotional, mental and physical endless happiness, contentment and love, with all they require throughout childhood and life. Whilst it's also very commendable for an individual(s) not to accept responsibilities and commitment for what they've not any abilities to fulfill when it comes to the needs of raising children. Patience are a unique gift that everyone isn't privy; however, I do believe they've the unique gifted ability to give in other ways that hold importance's just as wonderful and uniquely special as an adoptive parent. ❤️

"it's not that we wanted a child. we wanted to help a child." beautifully put, and exactly how it should be 💖

[@annaf3915]

But not what the child wants to hear. My foster son asked me: "When you were all grown up did you want to have a child, and then you found me? Was that what you always wanted?" I simplified things by saying yes, of course that's all I ever wanted and now I got it and another little baby as well. Which he sees as unneccessary, but that's another story to be told. I just don't like the "helping" part of the narrative. You have 1 or 2 or 5 children in your family, you decided to have them, biologicallly or through adoption, don't tell them they're just there because you're "helping" them.

[@Audrey-xh5wv]

@annaf3915 thats a fair perspective. I interpreted the quote as putting the emphasis on the child's wellbeing and not on an adult's personal want for a child. (like prioritizing what the child needs and what the adult can provide, instead of the adult's personal family goals.) although I definitely agree that your response was very appropriate and ideal! it was the most compassionate for what he needed to hear

[@annaf3915]

My best friend was adopted. I loved her parents, they always told her "We picked you specifically, so you know we love and wanted you... unlike your brother, he just showed up 9 months after valentines day when we didnt want him" 😂😂😂 they were teasing of course but an adopted child never has to wonder if theyre wanted because adopted parents usually have to fight and jump thru 20000 hoops to adopt their kids... shes precious ❤

Seeing how you speak with your daughter who is an adoptee warms my heart so much. You're lighting the way for other parents who have or will adopt children. This is how mothers who have adopted their kids, speak with their kids about their adoption. The little girl in me, and the adult in me thank you.

I was adopted by my sperm donor’s sister. She was literally the single mom, she never brought home a man, she raised her children and she raised her daughter’s son and her brother’s daughter, (me), and she did the best she could by us. I, now have temporary custody of my grandson, who was recently diagnosed with Autism. Both of his parents, ( his father is my son ), are drug addicts and there was domestic abuse and neglect in the home. My heart breaks for him everyday. Mothers like you and my mom are rare. Thank you for being such a great mother and person. We need more like you in the world.

Children need to be talked TO and not talked AT. There's a gigantic difference. When you look a child in the eyes as you have a conversation, it teaches them trust and it makes them feel valuable.

There isn't anything wrong with adoption but it's really better to not find about something this important about yourself in a not so good way. He is still just 100% our cousin no matter who gave birth to him and his younger brother isn't any different either just because he was born to my aunt and uncle.

I had a classmate who found out that he was adopted in a vicious manner when he was 16. It was very bad for him. I'm sorry that you experienced that as well. I have 4 adopted cousins; 2 with one uncle, 1 with another uncle and 1 with an aunt. My cousins all knew from birth that they were adopted so it was no big deal to them or us.

I thought the same thing! I'm so much happier for watching this tonight. What a blessed family.

I love the way she keeps dancing and swinging her little arms in the air. So adorable. What a good and talented mother❤

[@elladgold1097]

I love the way you make time for each baby!!!

[@heather_857]

The brightness in Tigers eyes when you talk to her, so sweet, she loves and admires you so much!

[@user-ef2se7hs2b]

You are a precious woman! Your smile lights up the room! And your love for your husband and children radiates from you! Tiger looks so happy.... She is a real cutie😊Be blessed in Jesus Name! 🙏

I am a foster parent and I always love to thank those of you who are kin to yr foster/adopted kiddos for taking them in. We love every child in our care as if they are our own (and adopted one of them) but it's always better to preserve family ties whenever possible. Both of you parents really seem to "get it" as far as never denying yr child's history, trauma, and needs, and I truly appreciate it. I know you really have yr hands full, but I know yr heart is full, too. Best wishes to all of you.

That little girl looks happy. That’s all that matters. Is that she is loved.

[@rennigaderedd9483]

This video made me want to cry. How you explained how she became your daughter with such love, and pride in your voice, and you making great memories with her, by teaching her how to bake pumpkin bread, and giving her a piece with big chocolate chips. I love hearing, and seeing a child that's loved, because there's children out there who aren't as blessed, and the care that y'all took to make sure that Tiger felt safe, and didn't think that she had been left again, was so compassionate, and wonderful. She's going to be a great Momma, because of you, and your example.

[@ijaceface]

Momma, you deserve the world! The way she looks at you moves me in ways never felt. There is no doubt that she loves, adores, respects and looks up to you. You rock! I hope to be 1/4 of the mother you are

[@EverythingisCopacetic]

I just love watching you & your beautiful family!!!! You are such an inspiration for all mothers & non mothers alike! 🙏🏻✨🤍✨🙏🏻

[@donnazasgoat2274]

You've got a beautiful heart Momma! Tiger knows you love her. What more does a child need?!

[@sunnydayzie1202]

This mom sows so much value into her children. It's wonderful to see their family videos.

[@miaow3840]

[@zoraidacastro2703]

😂❤ loved it 😀

[@tomaplin]

What glorious people you all are. That wonderful little girl looks at you with such love. This is humanity. This is giving love because you have so much of it to give. You are utterly inspirational. I am sat in England right now, tears of joy streaming down my face.

[@theonlymeaning]

Ms. Wilders, Your genuine LOVE for Tiger brings tears to my eyes. What a blessed little girl.

[@nellnorwood1156]

I wish everyone on earth were like these two, what a beautiful world it would be.

[@chillvibes9022]

There are too many things I love about how you parent to list. In this video I really love how you let the story unfold as you did something special together, not rushed, no agenda, all bonding moment. Sooo special. And someday she can watch this video back too and know she’s so loved. Another thing I love about this video is listening to her say “woooow” watching how the baking is unfolding. It’s precious. She seems genuinely interested in what you were sharing with her both about her story and with the recipe. Bravo🎉mama

[@marsheagarner3696]

I was so tickled when they did a cute, short, simultaneous little wiggle dance after tasting the pumpkin bread. I love it! 😂😂😂😂❤❤

[@pearlpicker2174]

You will be a forever blessing to this child.

[@azianchick3529]

the intro is so powerful and captivating. the way Tiger's eyes and big smile shows there is love there. there's safety, security, happiness there. I love this channel and this family - so glad I found it today!

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

So Tiger was a member of the extended family, but you adopted her into yours! That is so amazing! You can tell by look at the way you all react to each other that there is a LOT of love there! Thank you so much for giving a little girl all the love, support and security she needed to grow up to be a healthy, well rounded person!!!

[@jacksmom5233]

I love how you are spending special time with tiger sharing her story and teaching her how to do the pumpkin. You were born to give your love.

Fantasztikus ez a nagy csalad! Mindenki vidam, orom nezni! De hol elnek Ok, melyik orszagban? - en Europaban nem latom ezt az eletkedvet, vidamsagot!

[@MrsJohanna33]

This was very special mommy and daughter moment to watch and brought back good memories from when I first became a mom. I fostered-to-adopt my two children as a single parent. They are half-siblings. Fast forward... Now, I am married to a man who loves them like his own. We are now preparing for kinship of his only nephew. My family continues to grow non-biologically and I couldn't feel any more blessed! By the way, my kids too love hearing their "gotcha" story, especially since I made sure to paint a picture where bio mom is a hero to mommies whose "bellies couldn't have babies".

[@TheQueenIsWithin]

I could smell that pumpkin bread through the screen. It looks so good! Thanks for sharing your mother daughter moment. You're setting a great example for families everywhere.

[@sandramoore8903]

I was adopted, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Your daughter is so lucky that you are teaching her how to cook naturally instead of using pre-cooked items. It is better for her body and teaches her a skill that she will need when she is an adult. I love watching your love for your children. It is so heartwarming!

[@Monithom48]

I absolutely love Tiger!! What a sweet sweet girl!

[@ClTn4]

I like how you talk to her about her story through doing normal stuff she won’t forget.It’s so sweet!!!
