I watched your blogs because your family seems authentic and interesting. I like that while you do show the children, you aren't exploiting your children. With as many children as y'all have, I think trying to blog everyday might be a teeny weeny unrealistic. Just do your thing

I have to tell you I have struggled with infertility for the last 7 years and every time I have a conversation with someone they say “well you can always adopt” I appreciate you saying what you said. I know people mean well but I sometimes feel like it diminishes my heartache by mourning the loss of my pregnancy. I also feel guilty when I feel that way because I feel like I am diminishing the heroism of adopting. Thanks for your authenticity!

As a bio and foster/ in the process of adopting mom, you explained that last bit so well! My husband and I always knew we would adopt. We had 2 boys biologically right away, had 4 miscarriages, had a little girl biologically, and now we have 3 foster kids two 14 year olds and a boy just 8 months older than our oldest bio. After our losses and unexpected rainbow, we knew we had to deal with our trauma before we adopted. Adoption is not a fix for loss or infertility or any other trauma; adoption is a sheltered path through the child's trauma! Adoption is meant to provide for a child; not a parent. I can feel your heart when you speak, especially about adoption, and I hope noone misunderstands that.

Angela is right about adoption, especially adopting through foster care. There is a lot of emotion and complexity that is inherent in children that come from adoption and foster care even when they are adopted as infants. Potential adoptive families just need to understand that this is the reality and be prepared for it.

I'm a first-time homeschooler this year & the amount of FREEDOM I've felt in not having to sit in carlines, fill out endless forms, deal with the public school arena, & take my child's education into my own hands - it's been a dream realized that I didn't even really know I had, if that makes sense. I had no clue how much that was affecting my own strengths & capacity as a mom. And I've had the same thoughts about you (Angie) getting it all done, but when you are staying at home, you have those freedoms to make your own agenda, instead of the corporate world making that agenda for you.

So true re: motivations vs. expectations when it comes to adoption. As a women with infertility, not secondary, I was shocked when I began to feel retraumatized about my infertility as I go through the domestic infant process, and had to meet all of its expectations and demands as well as experienced it’s highs and lows. It was like someone ripped off a bandage covering my wound. Sorry but that was true to my experience. In reality, even if you go into the process with eyes wide open, it still is a painful reminder. I don’t expect adoption to heal my feeling of loss regarding infertility, and I don't want it too, because it is not honoring my loss. I won’t however put it on any child I potentially adopt. Adoption is it's own thing. Our why is everything.

I have watched your channel for a couple of years and really enjoy it! I wanted to thank you for what you said regarding adoption. I struggled with infertility and my ex-husband and I ended up domestically adopting a newborn child. I suffered with depression, guilt, insecurities all of the emotions almost from the day we brought him home. As parents who read this who had children naturally would say probably the same things about their child when they brought them home from the hospital. I was worried about the birth mother and what she was going through and tried to do everything right for her son. The adoption for infertile couples can be overwhelming, challenging and most people go into it with their eyes wide shut. The child that we adopted had issues from the moment of birth onward. No, he was not considered disabled but he had many many challenges. What people do not realize when they adopt an infant is that nature will always override nurture. Today, he is a disaster he is homeless and he also is a very dangerous person. He lacks the intelligence an average person and can be very malicious. Neither my ex-husband or myself are like this, but I do know some of his background and it does fall in line with some things. For anyone out there he was considering adoption due to infertility realize that the birth mothers and fathers are not in happy places. They are stressed. A lot of them drank or did drugs during the early parts of conception and this child is not being born to a mother or father who are in a good headspace or physically trying to maintain for the sake of the child. They are usually fighting just to be able to survive themselves and make no mistake you will bring home those problems with you. Angie, I thank you for bringing forward what you did about the differences between natural born children do yourselves and whenever you adopt. Thank you!

And you're perfectly right about adoption. To tell someone struggling with infertility that she can JUST adopt is insensitive on so many levels. Even if we haven't suffered from infertility ourselves, most of us have a relative or close friend who has, and we understand how tragic it can be.

As a mom who had fertility struggles and three kids adopted from foster care, thank you for the great explanation at the end. We tried to do foster to adopt and fertility treatments at the same time and it was like being thrown into concrete over and over again. We are definitely in a good (enough) place 8 years later, but those first couple of years were so tough. And we were very informed and from adoptive families. Trauma information is so important. My one son is now in trauma specific counseling and I do sessions with his counselor separate from him to learn how to best help him and deflect his trauma from my own self.

You’re spot on with the adoption answer. I have 2 stories. My bro & sis-in-law couldn’t have children. She wanted to adopt but he didn’t think he could do it. So they didn’t. She missed out, and also the children because she would have been a fantastic mother. Second. Our friends couldn’t conceive, so they adopted because she “desperately” wanted to be a mother. She ended up getting pregnant afterwards. She never bonded with the adopted son, although taken in as a newborn, and he was not treated as well. She looked at him as her failure. It was totally heartbreaking. Adoption is a very personal choice that needs to be well thought out.

I'm a mother of 14 children. Given birth of two and adopted 12. Our adoptions are of new borns and older children. We have five children still at home 15 12 12 11 and 4. We foster drug babies at the time of their fall in life. Our baby is 7 months old now we don't know the future as of now. We can only have 6 children in our home that includes our children now. We can bring in a sibling group under special permission. I agree with you about adoption you have got to get into it for the right reasons, you got to be able to have the backbone to put up with other people's nonsense and opinions but there's nothing that brings me more pleasure than knowing that the children are safe and loved and wanted with all our hearts. We don't home school I don't have the education to do it and I would feel like if they were failing because most of them have disabilities I would have failed my children. My husband and I are so grateful to have birth children adopted privately and adopted through foster care some will ask why you do it or why my husband continues to have children when he could have a free retirement of responsibilities and all he has to say it takes two signatures on that birth certificate and we love our children. Why give up something we're good at just because we are older?

You are so blessed with having the ability to live this lifestyle. You and CR made it happen! Most people think about how wonderful it would be…but think….they couldn’t accomplish it. You go girl! I envy you. We raised 8 children and 2 grandchildren, biological and adopted. I would have done what you are doing if I had seen all of the opportunities. I missed it 😢, however, I’m very happy with all of their successes. We have a wonderful family, as you do.

There are so many quality bulk food/prep creators but consistent with your channel, it might make sense to do it in the context of pantry organization or some sort of recipe, especially if you do any canning/preservation.

Hey, Can you speak to what the trama(s) that come with embryo adoption is/ are. Thank you for any insight you can give.

I don’t classify you as a family vlogger either because there’s not weekly vacations and not lots of exploitation of kids

Please do take a break from you tube. There are plenty of big family vlogs for us to watch. Please stop talking and just do it for your much needed break.

I always look forward to your videos! I miss Lottie, lol. I agree with your decision to share less and I also do not think of you as a family vlogger. You are unique! Looking forward to more projects, decluttering, makeovers, etc.

Hairless cats can work if you are actually allergic to the hair. Many people are allergic to other stuff, especially fluids, though.

I want to kindly point out that by doing a house tour you are showing people the layout of your house. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one you did when you 1st moved in but if it's a concern as much as I would like it and it's cool you will be showing people the layout of your house.

Angela, in as crazy as the times are now, it is truly refreshing to see a family that is relatable. I think that is what most people are after now in such a divisive time. Just someone to relate to.

I believe that “everyone “ can’t “love” someone else’s child. We all have gifts and they are different for each of us. This is one of those gifts. It took me a long time to learn this and I agree with you, adoption is an option but not for everyone.
