I look forward to watching more of your amazing DIY videos and updates on you and your family !!! God bless you all !! ❤

[@renewalof48]

You have made our lives so much better. I love watching you. You came into my life when I was ill. And you had me crafting again, laughing & crying like you by best friend. Kelly, you made me cry because my family means the world to me.

[@carolyngallagher8391]

My heart goes out to you i was crying i love a store like this. I can't wait to see how it go's for you. Your family is going to love you because you are so amazing.

[@barbaranardone]

Kelly, I am so happy for you, I too don't know my Mothers family, so I know how you feel, There is a God watching over us all and it was great that you found your Dads brother, and family. Bless You and keep safe. I hope to hear that you have visited and it was wonderful. Kep safe. Love that story.

[@darthadewoody3844]

Kelly I think this is wonderful and I will be praying for you and your family.

[@fadedglory1045]

Kelly your pure heart just shines so brightly. I’m so happy for you. I hope for these new relationships to fill your heart where it was empty and missing your loved ones. 💕

[@maryfrancessmith6481]

She is so genuine and it just comes right thru the screen! God always is right on time with what we need!

[@kellythornton7644]

I just want to say, YOU are a HUGE inspirations!!! YOU are an awesome lady! I'm so excited and happy for you! Thank you for sharing with us, when you really don't have to. Love and Blessings too you and your family!

[@cindydavis4162]

Someone very dear to my heart, who was adopted as an infant, recently reached out to her biological parents due to health concerns. She had some of the same feelings of fear and anxiety that I suspect you are feeling. Please know that she has a new brother, sister, nieces, nephews and extended family who love her. My hope is that you will love your new family and they will love you (but, who wouldn't love you?) Blessings abound! In His Hands!

[@christinedoyle6807]

I can’t imagine being separated from my husband for as long as you have been in this situation. Praying this will end soon and that your family can love on each other again.

[@maryfrancessmith6481]

I bet she feels a lot like a single parent. It has to be so so hard. I cant even imagine.

[@annebradley6086]

Separated? I just heard her say her husband goes to work every day. Is he in the military?

[@patriciareyes2598]

She's not literally Sepreated her husband stays in the RV on the side of their home hes a First Responder and is constantly around people that could have been exposed to covid and she has a daughter that has respiratory problems..

[@myknkat1]

God will always be there, even when you least expect it... in your darkest times... i am happy this has turned out the way it has... glory be to our lord and savior...

[@dimplesp4046]

He’s always right on time Amen!

[@leeannbroomhalladams1575]

Oh sure they want to meet you. Why wouldn't they want to meet you. Don't give yourself enough credit you are an awesome woman. There isn't anything you can't do when you put your mind to do it.

[@wendyshepard2080]

Oh Kelly, tears are so painful for me right now as a side effect to chemo...but I shed 5hem for you tonight! God is a good God, amazing in His ways. Bless you in your family bonding. Prayers for Ray and Jeff both in their occupational exposure. Bless you all and peace to you

[@jancox6973]

I hope you don't mind that I read your comment but saw you mentioned your receiving chemo and I'm a cancer survivor (ovarian ) and God brought me through it all and I'm thinking of you and hang in there & God is so good.🙏 God bless you and you've got this💪🙏🙋👍

[@debradeanne74]

What a beautiful story. I was adopted from a lady in Germany. I have a brother I never knew. There's an emptiness there. I have tried searching for him, but since he is probably in Germany, I have been unsuccessful. So glad your questions were answered. God is powerful!

[@deborahgray7952]

You can never have to many people love you. Enjoy your new family, it is a blessing in so many ways.

[@jodiskrobak3882]

That was nice to hear your words of appreciation for your daughter's teacher. A good teacher makes a big difference! I hope things go well with those family members you've never met before. I know you say that you're grateful for "us" but we are just as grateful for you.

[@robynw6307]

I'm not hugely religious, but I do believe that when we "give to the universe" those things we cannot control and let them go, what happens next was meant to be. So happy for you and your family. Hopefully soon you can all have a family reunion where you can get to know each other and expand your family beyond your wildest dreams.

[@graciechapa2566]

So glad you have found your new family members. You're blessed to have people who want to be part of your life. God bless you always !! 🌹🌹🌹

[@JulieSaldanaKaty]

I am so happy to hear you say what you did about teachers doing virtual teaching. I see how much time my son and my niece have invested in planning their lessons. I hope parents appreciate their hard work and commitment. So happy your husband was not infected with COVID and that you have the possibility of enlarging your family with your uncle and cousins.

[@cynthiaaden3270]

Hang in there sweetie !! God opened this door for a reason ! I’m happy for you ! I only met my bio dad once but his brother is wonderful to me and my family can’t imagine life without him now !! Can’t wait to see what life has in store for you !! You are such a positive role model for all that watch you !! Stay healthy glad life is getting a bit easier for you !

[@claudiaengland6716]

So glad you got closure around your daddy n that you found your uncle n aunts n cousins so u now have the extended family you asked God to give you. You are truly blessed.

[@angelikarts6668]

Such strength and bravery talking about this! Thank you for sharing your life and stories. Blessings and best wishes to all the family x

[@annebradley6086]

LOL!

[@artistirmafeliciarodriguez7752]

So heart warming, I have the similar circumstances and haven't been able to meet my father or siblings or family and can completely sympathize and feel the way you felt. I am so happy for you, you deserve this great gift. Blessings, hugs, and be safe

[@lorrieferguson6847]

Kelly so happy to hear that your uncle has reached out to you! It can be an overwhelming response for sure. Take your time to coup and meet your new family on your terms! If Jeff is able to go with you to meet your new family for moral support. I wouldn’t include your children until you have made the connection and decide afterwards if you want to pursue these new family connections! God Bless you and love your blogs and DIY projects!

[@loves2cook41]

Kelly, you are such a sparkle of light. I am so happy that you have more family to love. Hugs and prayers to you

[@sherylhood]

You will never be alone as long as you have KZbin. We are out here watching and listening and praying. You are such a blessing. I wish you were my cousin too. We love you KB.

[@susankraft77]

I think you're right to take your time getting to know the rest of your family. I'm glad they're there, but you're vulnerable right now because of your losses and the difficulties your family has faced during this pandemic. You're doing the right thing by protecting yourself. Take care. Blessings all!!!!!

[@cathyjackson8021]

Oh Kelly! I’m so glad this is happening for you!! What a wonderful story! You are blessed!

[@amym7825]

I’m so sorry that Jeff’s been sick. Thankful for God opening this precious door for you! Blessings as you move forward.

[@nellmagnera8593]

Oh Kelly, I'm so glad that door has been opened to you. Family truly is everything. I was a change of life baby so my cousins were all much older or younger than me so we weren't close. And I'm very happy Ally's schooling is working out so well. although strep throat is horrible in itself thank God it wasn't Covid. We all love you and can't wait to go on this journey with you. You are amazing and much stronger than you know.

[@angelmoonllc821]

I am all teary eyed watching this right now and hearing about your uncle reaching out and that you have family that wants to meet you. So sorry about Jeff being sick, and thankfully it is not covid. I am so sorry that you have to be so physically separated from your husband.

[@SimplyCaitlinS.]

I can relate to your situation. Growing up, my mom never knew her dad. After my grandma passed 2 years ago, My mom had nothing but a name & where her parents met. After my grandma passed I did the 23 and Me, got a message from a woman with the last name my mom was told about her dad. long story short... I met my grandpa & my mom now knows her dad! He never knew about them (my mom is a twin) but was excited to learn of all the family he has here. It was such a crazy experience but it brought SO much needed insight & knowledge. I’m so thankful to have made the connection & that my mom doesn’t have to wonder about her father anymore.

[@susanjohal6850]

Oh Kelly, I am so very happy for you and your family regarding the blessings that our wonderfully precious heavenly Daddy have bestowed upon you. He is so awesome! Thank you for the update, and you all shall continue to remain in my prayers. God bless you.

[@sharongreen4131]

I am so proud for you! After watching your other video, I was so sad for you. Now, the hope is just wonderful! Whew, so glad Jeff did not have COVID! May God bless you and your family!

[@graceaughtman5118]

Thank you for sharing. God does answers prayers. He wanted your questions answered and has guided your long lost family back into your life. So happy that it was only a strep throat and the girls are doing great with zoom teaching. God bless you and your precious family. 🙏

[@melindatoth3509]

U deserve Family. Nothing I ever thought I needed happened when I "needed " it. You are a blessing for them as well. God always is right here with Us. He made us. Knitted us together and named us. Placed us in our mother's womb. Always knowing our destiny. Thanks for sharing your life.

[@dianawalls5005]

Kelly, Thankyou so much for sharing your new life experiences with me and all who watch your blogs. Every day is like turning another page in the book of life, isn't it? I think you will find such pleasure in getting to know the family that is new to you. About 2yrs ago I was contacted by a girl through FB and through conversations and DNA now know I have a Niece from my oldest brother who never knew of her, he passed away 26yrs ago. You never know what gift God will lay at your feet, imbrace it. With lessons are rewards. 💙💚💛💜

[@katherineburden5416]

Praying for you and your family. I hope and pray when you finally meet your relatives that your heart is full of joy.

After you last life update, my heart was breaking for,you. So grateful for a Father in Heaven who is aware of us and knows what we need.

[@karenclark8989]

I was crying right along with you. Bless your heart. I believe your apprehension could be because you fear they too will leave you like the others, even though they passed, I just think that might be an inner fear. Take care my friend.

[@susiegrissom906]

Kelly,you are so amazing. I have cried for you. Prayers that things will soon get better for you and Jeff. Prayers for the girls also. I want you to know that there are really a lot of prayers. You are precious. Love you and your crafts.

[@katyhy]

With regard to your "new found family", I can totally understand why you'd be apprehensive and scared. It's so overwhelming but baby steps. You'll get there and what a gift to your children! Do it for them. Best of luck to you & your family.

[@BBell-qt1lr]

What a wonderful unexpected time in your life! So happy that your family reached out and that you get to meet! You never know where blessings will come from ! Happy for you!

[@artistgrly]

Prayers answered Kelly!! I prayed for this exact resolution so that you could rest easy and have closure. Of course, i didnt pray exactly for an uncle to contact you, but i prayed a member of your family would offer you answers to all your questions. You are an amazing woman and I'm so happy that God answered my prayer for you! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@victoriadelbando3283]

I’m so happy for you!!! I just lost my mother to cancer three weeks ago it’s so painful ! My father has been gone eleven years now however I feel this loss more. You truly are a strong woman for doing all you can to take care of your family!!!🥰💜 I’ll keep you in my prayers🙏🏻!!!

[@dixielowery4281]

How very wonderful! Of course you are apprehensive. You are going among a group of strangers and you are not sure what to expect. However, I truly believe they are going to love you! Praise the Lord. He knew what your heart needed.

[@lhcreations5464]

What an amazing story. I’m sure your apprehension is just a defense mechanism because you don’t want to get hurt or disappointed. But it’s exciting and I’m glad for you! You’re such a strong woman and wonderful example of a mother and wife. Hope this ends quickly so your family can be together again

[@decormilitarystyle]

My son has been home schooled since middle schooled and he has had the same teacher from 8th grade on and he is graduating in the spring a whole year early. Good luck to Alley and it is definitely her time to shine. Never think a situation ever truly ends because one little flutter can set a butterfly in motion. Prayers to your for the coming days.

[@joycegustafson5057]

[@roadbikechik55]

So happy for your family reuniting. This touched me especially because I'm taking my mom to visit family we have never met next week. This really touched me. I'm sorry for your loss of your Mom , Sister, and Bio Dad. You are doing a great job keeping your family safe. Blessed prayers and Healthy Life to you all !! God Bless !

[@junekelly2164]

Oh Kelly what a blessing. I understand why you are apprehensive. You will take your time and when the time is right for you, you will make the decision to meet your new family. So happy you had many of your questions answered and Thank the lord Jeff is OK and Allie is in the learning groove!💜💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@janhargraves6110]

What a blessing to know that you have new family waiting to meet you. Don't let fear or apprehension delay your introductions. As you know from these last few years, life is short - even a Zoom meeting can get you going on new relationships and begin a slow build until you can meet in person. You've missed having them in your life for 20 years -- don't let it be 21 ! Praying for you and your busy life as you continue to deal with our new culture.

[@melissacoots7357]

So glad things are getting better. Sorry that your husband has been sick, but thankful that its not covid. Your still in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the updates

[@CJ-os9yp]

Wow Kelly!! I am crying like a baby. Your life story touched me tonight. I have found I am very emotional these days. I am sure it comes from the stress I feel and fear I have for the health and well-being of all of my loved ones, very young ones and very elderly ones. I have to just remind myself to take deep breathes! 😊☺💞😷

[@chriscoburn2516]

I am so happy that you have found (or should I say they have found you) more family and they can help you with most of your questions about your dad and his side of the family. Being nervous or anxious about meeting new people or family you've never known before is normal. Also happy that Jeff is ok and the kids are enjoying school. Stay safe, tell each other how much you love them daily, and take every bit of happiness you can find and enjoy it.
