Lauren Akins' Emotional Journey To Motherhood | Southern Living

[@gulianatanner2352]

That story about Willa telling her mom that Ada’s hair bow was covering her eyes is heartwarming! 😭♥️♥️♥️

[@lisathomas2151]

It's interesting that she was so quick to think that the little black girl harmed the baby. Very telling indeed.

[@highlyfavoredMG]

@@lisathomas2151 I dont think it's becauze she is black.Siblings do those things sometimes without realizing they are hurting each other.I remember I sat on my sister when I was a baby...I dont think at 2 years old I wanted to harm my sister I just did it...

[@ashleymckeel4686]

@@lisathomas2151 yes the woman who wanted to adopt her out of an orphanage and out of poverty to give her a family, love, and support is a racist or prejudiced against minority children. What a brilliant idea.

[@destyneefloyd6804]

@@lisathomas2151 I was waiting for a comment like this why does everything always has to be about race and why is it because she’s black yes because the women who wanted to adopt her and give her a loving home is a racist 😒🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

[@leticiabromley6013]

I will never stop following Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins' family journey. So appreciative that they share it with us.💖😊

[@valeriejaycox5316]

Just love that girl so honest and real. She's a great soul. Has a sincere heart. It shows. Her smile always shines.

[@brookewright9722]

I’m literally crying , in a world of experiencing racist people , you start to have a outlook on people . These people are different god bless them .

[@christinaakman7791]

And now they are having baby girl #3 congratulations y'all

[@haliedelozier7398]

This is the truest definition of a good woman. Love her so much 💖

[@brettthompson2733]

Congrats number 1 mom

[@slim63881]

What a wonderful story. My husband Craig and I adopted a little girl from Uganda six years ago. She is truly a miracle child. We had been married 13 years trying and I was never able to have a baby. Savannah is such a good-natured child. All her teachers say each year can we take her home. She has won the best class listener award 3 years in a row. She is so loving and giving. Uganda is a wonderful country to adopt from.

[@marionmillion2936]

Lauren and Rhett are the most kindest and sweetest parents in the country ❤❤❤

[@fakiola9184]

Lauren’s just the sweetest, Thomas chose himself a great wife & mother

[@missUn1verse81]

Wow Lauren's mom is GORGEOUS. They look like sisters, not mother daughter 😀

[@Jennijenniwcitt]

“It’s good to have to fight for your kids” yes girl. Preach!

[@lt2195]

The reason she calls him Thomas Rhett is because that's his first and middle name. They are from the south and alot of southerners( including myself) call their kids by first and middle name. His parents most likely called him by both names.

[@laurenrose3462]

Thank you for answering this! I was curious why she was but it never accused to me she does it with her children.

[@kaylamesser5733]

Sweet & Salty Yep!! I’ve got a Bristol Kate and a Mason Ryan :) originally from the south moved to Colorado a few years ago

[@bayelys_banks89channel6]

Rhett is his fathers first name.

[@mzhale2b]

Yes, Virginia Marie

[@bristolmae6386]

Guenever Byrne omg i have the same name! haha

[@hitta5718]

Thomas: we’re adopting from Uganda and she’s the cutest little girl that you’ve ever seen. Me: OMG THIS IS WHAT ITS ABOUT LIFE CHANGES

[@masonjaegle5965]

Hit ta yeh lmao

[@tjreid2517]

Such a loving touching story.. Willa Gray looking over her baby sister Ada James.. A bond that shall last all their lives long.. The Rhett Family 🙏🙏 Blessings To You All. 🙏🙏

[@IWantToMature85]

Tanja Petties I’m a big fan of adoption, but getting pregnant after takes away from the adoption.

[@annahospodka7657]

Tanja Petties they’re last name is actually Atkins. Rhett is Thomas’s father name. He wanted that to be his famous name because his dad was a country singer and he’s still a songwriter to this day.

[@alisebeaugh9874]

His last name is Akins

[@playfulrainkeepingitcreepy]
