ADOPTING OUR FOSTER KIDS? FOSTER CARE UPDATE | PJ & Thomas

Hey y'all,
One of the most common questions we get is for an update on our foster care journey and whether or not we plan to adopt our kiddos. After some new development, we finally sat down and are going over everything in today's video.
We can't thank you enough for all of the love and support you've sent our family over the years. You've been on this journey with us since the beginning and it feels like, in a way, we've gone through it together.
As ever,
PJ & Thomas

I am so , so proud of you guys. You took to parenting like ducks to water. Kindness and love are always the way. Thank you for showing the world who gay people really are.

[@barryfenstamaker348]

As a former foster kid, I can totally see how you could get attached after 22 days. My final family I was placed with, I grew attached to after a week as a 10 year old, They tought me to be who I am today and LOVED me when I felt I was unloveable. Thank you for caring for the kids and showing them how to be loved and that they are worth it.

[@davidferguson6507]

The first PJ&T video that I had ever viewed was when the kids came to stay with you (that was about a year and a half ago). I binge-watched every video after that until I Was fully updated, and then watched every video before that. Today I wait for every episode of your lives together and today's video represents a culmination of everything that I, and all your viewers, have hoped for. I could not be happier for you both and the kids. The love that emanates from your channel is so pure and true. In an odd way, I feel like a part of your family even though we have never met. I have never seen the kids, nor do I even know their names and yet I stand prepared to do anything to help them remain in your care because they are your children and you are their parents, and nothing or no one should be allowed to change that. Stay happy, stay strong, stay loving and loved.😀🥰😀

[@Biancareijnders]

This comment made me cry, so true!

[@FynnOliverEmonSill]

PJ was so cute fighting back smiling from ear-to-ear after talking about adoption....so happy for everyone.

[@dugald56]

In a world that currently contains much trouble and sorrow, how wonderful to have such lovely news. Lucky, kids; lucky you.

[@Jeff_Reed]

I’m so happy for y’all! No one deserves it more. Those kids have blossomed in your care 🌺

[@toner37]

Seeing Thomas' reaction to sharing the amazing news and PJs reaction just shows the pure joy and love they have for the kids!! It's just all the good feels!! I'm sure there'll be a full-on emotional video of that day when the kids learn it's 100% official to being a permanent family!

[@pump066]

Oooh yes guys there is justice still in this world, if there's ever been a match made in heaven, you two and your three children is just that! All those tears and sleep- less nights by you and so many of us, hasn't been in vain. Amor vincit omnia!

[@debjyotighosh]

What I want to know is - who are the 4 people who disliked this video? lots and lots of love to the two of you and your entire family! I started crying too... they couldn't have found a more loving family!

[@Shannon-mx3id]

They shouldn't have these children to care for

[@hankdavis5342]

I should not even give you any joy by responding but the stupidity and rudeness of some jerks never ceases to amaze me ! I assume you are making the judgement based on religion but if you get to HEAVEN through your judgement you will find GOD is LOVE ! GOD will reward these guys for extending their hearts !Have you seen how the children have bloomed learning to brush their teeth , potty trained Mia ! The kids are on a schedule . I think how wonderful it is for the kids and how the LOVE they are given will grow and grow ! They will be able to self care and care for their off springs ! The kids were removed from a bad situation! I know no history just connecting dots ! I pray for you “ hard hearted Hannah’a” !! Learn just because you think something does not mean you have to verbalize it ! It is kinda like “ BREAKING WIND “ in public it has a bad odor ! I bet your breath is shitay ( that’s Southern for BAD ) ! Peace and Love ! You might get a bad rectal itch !! Just saying clean your own ass don’t wipe others !♥️

[@rodankw]

Crying with sheer joy here. There was a cosmic reason that those lost children found THE most perfect parents and have thrived. Thank you for allowing us to be so happy and proud for you. I think the kids will jump for joy when they officially become McKays............I think all of us will. Well done, guys. Well done.

[@jcartwright81]

Congratulations you guys! We adopted our kiddos a sibling set of three also 10 years ago this coming August. Please cherish every moment and that adoption day is so magical!

[@richardhastings6082]

I am so happy for you. Believe me, you were not the only ones crying.

[@Dawn-24-27]

Is is weird that I feel like I'm listening to a family member telling this beautiful story! I can't help but shed tears of happiness & excitement for ALL of you!! I also can't believe someone started cutting onions towards the end of this video!! 😭 PJ, Thomas, Big Brother, Little Brother, Sis my heart has been warmed by your entire story!! Much love to all of you for the next adventure!! 💞

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Hey guys, we have just been able to sit down and catch up with your videos. You two are wonderful examples of a loving and caring family. We're both so proud of you both and for the love you'll be able to spread to your children. Congrats!

[@slbi2338]

It is obvious, especially after watching you and listening to you for so long, that you are too beautiful beautiful people who are very loving and are such positive forces in these children's lives. Those kids are so very lucky to have found you and I hope everything works out for all of you♡. I'll be watching!

[@davidwiseman7774]

You have finally said the words I have been dying to hear throughout your journey. You are absolutely wonderful men, the kids have beyond blossomed in your care and have a bright, bright future and bring you so much joy. The animals, the farm, it all has a magnificent purpose, and you are major role models. I am in complete love with your family, including the extended family.

[@johnbrownlee8414]

Nobody ever knows what their doing when they're first time parents. I'm glad you have them, you're good parents.

[@artgirl-zx2jh]

You are so kind and respectful when you talk about the kids parents. I love hearing that from you both. It certainly shows character and that you try to understand others and the situation they may be in. Lucky kids to have you and luck you to have them in your life! Congratulations PJ and Thomas!!

[@richardnault9493]

Sending you all our love guys, this is the news we were hoping to hear. The love between you all is so evident. HUGS GUYS !!!

[@HillCountryWine]

Congratulations Guys. We started our family 20 years ago. Our boys were half brothers with a significant age difference. The oldest boy was in his teens and would be aging out in a few years. The youngest was in early elementary school and very close to his brother. Fast forward 20 plus years and we now are looking forward to being grand dads . Watching the video brought back so many of the struggles and rewards. We wouldn't have changed anything.

[@kaydenjames1994]

When Thomas started crying, that really got me 😭❤️

[@grahamrose5435]

After the initial foster of the Kidos , their demeanour and has flourished under your care. From being wild and under educated with behavioral issues they have blossomed . Well done to all of you. A shining example of what a gay couple can do to change 3 children's lives ( and affect the world) for the better. So proud of you both. Hugs

[@traceytucker9185]

I’m so excited for you both, I have been waiting and praying for the adoption to happen. God Bless your family ♥️🙏🏾

[@lilianadoval8927]

So much love and commitment are worthy of admiration and respect. And yes. The universe conspires in favor of the dreamers. Kisses from Argentina.

[@jennifervalente1767]

I am so happy for you both! The five of you were meant to be a family. You are such positive role models for these kids and loving dads. I wish you and your beautiful family all the health and happiness in the world.😊❤️

[@205004gs]

We’ve been following along with you young guys from almost the beginning and it’s really hard to remember when the children were not a part of your lives, and we’ve made your journey a part of our lives! Many congrats and much love and respect🙏✌️👍❤️😇

[@jessparr8019]

That is amazing news, the kids have structure, stability and two loving dad’s as well as extended family. I bet the kids family have seen a change in them. You have had the support from everybody and will continue to do so as they grow and explore the world for themselves in the years to come. x

[@ofga3]

Those are three lucky kids, God bless your beautiful family.

[@pppexplorer]

Guys - I've been watching your videos even before the kids joined your lives, and I can't been it's been 2 years already since you became foster parents! OMG, I couldn't be happier for you and your family! I shed some tears too when Thomas started crying. You so deserve this wonderful news! 💙👏🏽👏🏽

[@piastevns]

I am so Happy , that the kiddos legally Will be yours … They are so lucky to get you 2 as their Dads . You have been so good for Them 🥰🥰🥰 Love and hugs to you all 💞💞💞

[@smellyolegoat150]

Why are you crying? It’s because it’s momentous. It’s been a long time coming. I’m so happy for you all. I’m watching this waiting to board my flight, and…………. Why is Scott, as in me, crying? It’s because this is something that had to happen for your family. You all are meant to be with your children. They are going to have such incredible lives with you two as their dads. It’s the kind of celebratory news that is worthy of tears of joy. Congratulations!

[@maxshadow...]

Thomas you hit the nail on the head with STRUCTURE, ROUTINE & DISCIPLINE (and love) is what it takes to raise a happy and healthy family. It's totally clear you both are what those kids NEEDED. They really hit the jock pot with all the love you and your families are providing. XOXO

[@jocasteleyn9890]

Dear PJ &Thomas, God bless you for being such fantastic foster parents for the 2 last years. You both are doing so much good for the 2 brothers and little sis and gave them a warm and loving home even in hard and challenging times like last year. It is wonderful to see how you both without kids to have managed to have 3 little kids which weren’t very easy in the beginning, to change them to happy and well behaved kids in 2 years. Just thinking what bringing 1 newborn home changes your live, I can’t imagine what a change 3 kids bringing home must feel. I hope for the kids sake, the adoption will go as planned and that the kiddos will have their forever home with you both very soon. Much love Jo

[@tylerainsworth]

Literally had to sit down with chills. Thomas, your fighting back tears had me in shambles. I am overjoyed for you five. ❤️

[@dd5783]

Those kids will be some body some day just because the sacrifices you two are making and the love you guys are showering them with. This is love and I’m not crying 😭!!!!!

I still don’t know how you guys went from no children to three and made it work. I’m truly humbled and stand in awe. This video is such a beautiful testament of love. Looking forward to Adoption Day!

[@john7027]

Loved those tears of joy and happiness in your eyes Thomas. We think the last 2 years were supposed to be this way. You are supposed to have these wonderful kiddos. You passed your own test of questions. Things are falling into place like they are supposed to. Those kiddos were supposed to be with two wonderful “dads”. The good Lord works in mysterious ways. This has been the game plan all along. We are so happy and proud for you dads. Looking forward to the video saying, “We are dads”!! We need to see a, “Family Picture”. ♥️♥️ You always have our support ❣️

[@lmabattaglia1]

As a foster baby and adoptee. I applaud you both for taking on the role and responsibility of caring for those 3 precious children. The structure and love you have given them truly shows. Can't wait for the next chapter of the The property lovers of 5. God Bless!

[@marshallsuber3346]

My family is blended. I had two boys and my husband had two. The kid's ages all paired up in less than a years difference ( between ages two and four). Our first year together was hard. We also had fairly hostile exes on top of everything else. But we made it! They grew up happy, healthy and " mostly well adjusted"😁. All are married and parents in their right. Looking back the thirty plus years all that I can see is the love. Here's to the next thirty years in your lives 🎉🎉🎉. Blessings from New Orleans.

[@jethrojackson2524]

I salute you gentlemen! I thank you from deep within me. What you are doing is priceless and beautiful. My tears are dripping onto the keyboard. May you be endlessly blessed. All my love, South Africa

[@smgoldman82]

I’ve been following your story for more than a year and had forgotten they used to call you PJ and Thomas! It’s always felt meant to be and those kids are so lucky.

[@fredricweber8583]

I got so emotional when you announced how close to the end of the process you were. Over the past 2+ years I’ve seen the progression these little guys & gal have made in your care. I admit I was worried about their mental capacities, but it proved environment & nurturing is as important, if not more so, in the development of children, than the biological.I’m thrilled for you guys, and the kiddos! When I thought you had bitten off more than you could chew, you took that bite and chewed it so successfully. The children are so fortunate to have been placed by you. Their future is so much brighter than it could have been, believe me!

[@janewatt683]

I am so pleased that you are able to adopt the children. They couldn’t have found 2 people who are better parents to them than you are. You both are so loving to the children and each other. Thomas, you were not the only one who got teary eyed at the end 🥲

[@alexanderallan215]

Congratulations guys, those children have blossomed in your care . We ( your followers ) have had a front row seat , to witness their changes in behavior, speech, and attitude. You have provided them with an idyllic life , that most children can only dream of. They get to run wild on the farm , interact with many types of animals, and get dirty. They have benefited from a warm & loving home, where they received plenty of attention & fun. May your home always be filled with love, laughter, joy, and may they bad times stay clear of your door. ❤️ 😘🤗

[@jakeleonard1019]

I could not be happier for the two of you. I have followed y’all for a long time and seen this journey for you two. There was never a question of the love you had for your children and I am so happy to see this finally happen!! Those kids will have two of the best dads in the world and be loved more than they will ever know!! Sending hugs and love to you all!!

[@l.keithhain1952]

I’m so happy for you guys! I’m crying, too. Such a beautiful and loving family you’re creating!

[@marth9660]

I was a social worker in children’s services for 35 years….the labels and “diagnoses” that get stuck on kids are so often absurd when actually we are mostly talking about trauma and/or separation/attachment issues which have affected development, behaviour and communication. These are best addressed through stable, secure and consistent care (and of course structure and routine as Thomas pointed out). It is very bad news that the planning and decision-making process was so delayed because of COVID…… a year in the life of a 3 year old is a third of their young life. I would have thought that better arrangements could have been made by the system to make sure there were no inordinate delays for children awaiting adoption. But at least they were in a stable and permanent placement with no direct impact on their day to day lives. You guys have done an amazing job. You’re so fortunate to become dads to these kids and they are so blessed that you’ve been there for them and have given them a family for life. It’s been a rocky road at times but the strength of your bond and your love comes across so strongly. You’ll have much to say to new foster carers that will help them face the challenges and reap the great all this can bring. Good luck and from here in Scotland I’ll be thinking of you as you approach this last hurdle in cementing your fantastic family. ❤️❤️❤️

[@pump066]

Such knowledgeable and important comment!

[@billrnlaw]

we had two kids by surrogate long before it was widely done., and adopted one as a baby. (The baby no one wanted) The one deemed "will face challenges" is 15 now and she was recently inducted into the national honor society, active in social justice campaigns, and an awesome kid. It is the most incredible journey anyone can do. Kids will change your life in the most amazing way. I have wondered where you were in your process. So glad to see the end is near. There is something about the finality when that gavel drops. It's finally done. God speed and you guys and those precious children are in our thoughts and prayers.

You are a wonderful family. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. As an older gay man this brings me Pride to watch you grow as a family !!!!

Hi there ak Aways great to hear your news. Glad things are moving well with the kiddos big hugs to you both

[@pollywinter4158]

I have seen the change in the little ones over the last 18 mths. You have worked so hard to make their lives so much better. It is obvious how much they mean to you both and how much they adore you guys. I hope the rest of this process is smooth sailing for y'all. You are their parents, you just need the piece of paper that goes with that. It was the best day in their lives when they met the two of you.

[@bmstcyr]

So happy for you!! My husband and I finished the adoption of our kids from foster care and I so relate to so much you talk about. I will say that on adoption day the kids did change and for the better. It was like they could take a deep breath for the first time. Ours were 5,5, and 7.

[@sirdavidoftor3413]

I am so happy for the both of you. The smiles and tears show just how much those kids mean to you. You have turned the many challenges that you endured into an undying love for those kids. I can’t wait for that official day arrives. Stay safe, stay sane, be well ( who is cutting onions???)

[@marianwallace247]

I wonder if adopting the kids will be like getting married? You don’t think it will feel different but it really does, the commitment cements & grounds all the feelings you have. So excited for you all ❤️

[@gblakev]

I totally agree. It will feel different - in a very good way.

[@Ocean-do2hi]

Clanea Came across yr channel a few months ago, only took 2 videos to get me hooked. It did take a bit to figure out the whole kids situation. I needed to start from the beginning & watch everything. Didn't think I could love y'all more. So happy for all 5 of you that you are going to be a real 'legal' family. The kids are lucky. I thank those bio parents for doing the right thing for the kids, I wish them luck with their recovery or whatever their personal circumstances are. You two are hilarious, loving & so entertaining to watch. Your family's offer you such loving support, so important for the kiddos. All the best. You are great partners to each other & great dad's ❤

I am so excited for you! You can see in your videos that you are already a family. Making it legal will be the cherry on top. Best of luck and hoping the rest of the process goes smoothly and quickly. ❤❤

Guys I started the live feed but I was cooking dinner and I just started re-watching the video. I hope you know that the tears of joy have started in celebration of you and those three blessed angels. God is no shorter than His word. Ask and you shall receive. You have used this moment to not only gain extra patience but you have taught us how to endure these types of situations. Happiness does not begin to tell the story but how appropriate!! Be blessed dads!

I cannit understand people who comment on you negatively with regard to these kids. I think they are blind to the fact that these kids are happy and well-taken cared for!

The children are thriving under your care, love and stability. A practical question: Do you loose the subsidies and health care coverage from the state once you adopt the children?

The kids were thought to be developmentally delayed due to the parents not providing them with the needed stimulus and activities needed by small children .. There are critical milestones that kids must meet or their brains won't develop .. Speech is one of those concerns .. You got the kids just in time to save them from possible permanent stunted growth .. You can congratulate yourselves on that gift you gave to them

[@frostiesarah2315]

OMG I’m so happy for you both. Been here with you from the beginning and remember those hard times but look at you now. I’ve told you this before you’ve done an amazing job as becoming dads not only to one child but three. 🥰🥰🥰

[@dalmatianluvr]

You (and all other foster parents moving toward adoption during COVID) are heroes of patience, resilience and endurance through the uncertainty and unpredictably of delays, postponements, reschedulings, etc. brought on as "the system" with its protocols coped with a wild card like COVID! Well done, good and faithful stewards of these young ones who have endured such undeserved disruption in their lives! I'm very glad that the process is coming to a culmination and that the kids (and you) have loved each other and come to thrive through it all! You've been role models, inspirational parents, and caring human beings whom I've admired! I'm glad to have been following you since before this path was taken! Best wishes and much love! ❤️

I've been owing you for years and I am so happy that you are getting close to full custody of the kids. They are so lucky to be loved by you guys. 💖

Congratulations! You guys are wonderful Papas.

This is so exciting! I started following you when you first announced you were fostering, as I was just starting out fostering at the same time as well. Since then, I've been doing short-term placements and have had 11 kids, but have had a longer placement of a (now 8mo) little boy. It's been so great following your journey!

I've always been wondering how you approach the kids you're fostering about becoming a permanent part of the family? Especially when the parents are still around as it were.

I’ve wondered this also. Maybe PJ and Thomas can share this with us.

God Bless you both! Those children received the biggest blessing of their lives by being brought into your home and into your lives! So happy for all of you!!!

Just thrilled for you guys. and especially for the kids. What a dramatic improvement you've already made in their lives. And the stamp of permanence that comes with adoption will make them feel safe & secure, in a loving stable home, in a way they never have.

I am new to your channel and want to just say what a wonderful life you are giving these kids who have been through so much! I wish there were more people like you who would step up for kids that are in need of loving secure homes!
