amazing story … my wife and I were Foster Parents for almost 15 years. We raised 37 kids & adopted 6, lost the youngest to cancer at age 6. It was a labor of love, and we'd do it all over again.

I can't believe that is all they got! I thought they were going to get way more than that. That wonderful couple came straight down from heaven.

[@shawns2387]

Rebeca Salas As an adoptee, they did come down from heaven. But do you really think that 10 thousand didn't help? Did you send them any money? Why judge others for what they have given, while you sit back and watch a video? Be happy for the family. Be happy that they are together, that they have a loving family. That's not why the family was on there...........

[@salem8753]

Rebeca, you are absolutely right, this is chicken feet. Yet their heart is so rich they do not need anything and anybody.

[@greenerdays]

As soon as it ended I said, "Is that it?".

I'm sure the MVshow would have chipped in too, but they blew their wad producing this "feel good" segment so they had to get a cannery to subsidize the "santa" part.

Sadly, it depends on the situation. Yes keep them together, but severely abused children often must be separated to achieve healing. The behaviors may never stop if they don’t. It’s often a highly difficult process

@China-Clay yes but sometimes having the support of those whom know what you've been through helps heal faster because they're not alone

[@ElizabethT45]

I wish I could hug and thank every foster parent personally! My biological mother passed away from a sudden stroke after delivering me. My biological father was left with 5 daughters under the age of 10 and was not able to care for us all. I went to a foster home until I was adopted at 16 months. My most prized possession is a scrapbook that my foster parents kept, where the Mom made diary entries about things like taking me to the pediatrician and how I smiled and chattered and waved at everybody. Apparently I was very popular during my well-baby visits :) They pasted in the photo they had taken of me on my first birthday. It's so obvious from those diary entries that both foster parents doted on me and made me very happy. I don't know their names but I will forever be grateful to them for caring for me so lovingly. Good foster parents are every day heroes to me :)

God Bless this family and the mother and father. Upon adopting these children they knew they would be living a life of struggle, but if love as well. I hope these boys realize the gift they got when they got their new parents. I was adopted as well, many years ago (I'm 45 now), and was given a very abusive home. I truly think these people care for all the children.

[@Diane0529]

Joel I am so sorry to hear that! I just don't understand why someone would go through the whole process of adoption if they weren't planning on being loving parents, when there are so many people out there who would have given their eye teeth for a child, but couldn't get one. I would think that most kids who are in foster care probably want to be adopted thinking that these parents are going to love them and give them a good life. I hope you were able to get through all of that and have a better life.

[@melissagroves202]

[@RancheroTierra]

This really blows my mind, it's incredible to adopt 8 lovely boys, as well have a lovely daughter, there need to be discipline and rules in the house, and I saw a sign in your house about the job that the kids needed to do, and beside that the consequences, that's very good to do it that way. You still have a boy with a down syndrome that requires a lot of work, as parents, you need to be strong to help and teach these boys in a lovely manner how to grow up, and just what you said, I believe that there is sometimes a chaos, which is normal for boys, but so long that they all may love each other, there is nothing more important then care and love in a family, and I can see and hear that you both are very lovely parents for the kids. But we are 9 years later, the boys are all grown up and some of them already adults, I'm very proud of you all I'm still curious about how the boys are doing?
