Why We Don't Talk About Their Birth Parents ❤️

[@tianawynn5337]

“We don’t want too” Exactly. 👏🏾 I’m adopted myself and I also choose not to talk about why and how I ended up getting adopted. All everyone needs to know is I’m safe, happy, and thriving with my new family! As are your beautiful kids. Thanks for being understanding of their situations. This is why I watch you guys. Too many people put their fame/views first and their children second. You don’t do this and that is why you’re the only family vloggers I will ever watch. ❤️

[@themillerfam]

Most definitely not OUR business to know! Such strong kids.

[@ChiefsGirlSince1989]

Totally agree

[@blackbird8797]

I really respect that you publicly acknowledge the trauma that goes with adoption at the same time as keeping your children’s individual journeys private. Thank you for sharing resources to support families and communities. I also just wanted to tell you that your videos deeply comforts and nourishes me. I feel so inspired by how you honor your family.

[@carriekennedy5334]

My husband and I fostered and adopted all of our 6 children. We don't discuss most of their birth parents or tell their stories to everyone either. It is a personal thing that we all have to go through. Thank you for loving all of your children alike ❤️

[@KathyM-uu5yx]

I love how you respect the privacy of your adopted children. My husband was adopted and he couldn't have had better adoptive parents and that's how I feel about the two of you

[@kyo5732]

I think it’s important and special that Jude, and Liam have each other and that Penny and Lincoln have each other, as well as the rest of the family. It never feels good to feel different or like the odd one out, so I love that they have someone in their family from the same place as them to always feel connected to. You guys are doing an amazing job.

[@niequicaff5764]

I'm here because you honor you kids. Such great parents you are. Beautiful kids! Liam at his 3rd year, so cute ! HAPPY DATING ANIVERSARY!! Enjoy, "original" beautiful people!

[@guenetgirma8941]

The tie with birth parents is undeniable. It is a story and history. So is undeniable of the parents who adopted and shouldered great responsibilities in all aspect of the child upbringing. I am brought up by my grandmother. I have a lot of characters that resembles her. She has been my everything and continues to be, though she is not alive. Even my husband who doesn't know her often tells me that he loves her. He sees her through me. When, I watched your children, I am able to see you both. Witness the energy, time and dedication you have invested on them to be who they are now and will be in the future. They will surely be proud of you so will you be in them. Remain blessed.

[@celesteessel4500]

This was truly health to my bones to read. Such a sweet message to share. God bless

[@ruthblair3136]

Off topic, but I just love how Stephen looks at you, Amanda!!! You can just see how much he loves you when he looks at you!!

[@nurizzaty4150]

All your kids are so greatful to had a loving and understanding daddy and mummy... I agreed not everything we have to share to public....it's the kids life privacy... When the time comes they will tell their own stories.... Anywhere I loves all your kids so much... So happy on Linky progressed... Liam changed and grown up alots... Take care ..and love you guys always... God bless all of you...

[@thebusybee7080]

Little Liam what a total sweetheart. It is such a delight to see how each of your children has developed their own personality and how thoughtful of each other they are.

[@PattyJonas]

You always put your kids needs first and that is the most important thing if all.

[@scrollinYT]

my sister adopted my niece as a new born baby. im not sure she even knows she is adopted and she is 4 going on 5 years old now. thank you for being so open about it with your children.

[@themillerfam]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mamadee2k]

I have an adopted daughter from China. She is 22 now and the light of my life. She’s completed her Masters in Biomedical Engineering. Such a loving and kind woman now.

[@claudettethompson-grant6648]

Wonderful

[@lisav834]

Wow 💕 you two are blessed to have each other 🥰

[@themillerfam]

Wow!! That is amazing!

[@annaraeellison3417]

How is Liam's growth coming along? I remember you posted a video of a visit to his doctor (a few months ago?). They were pleased with his progress. I hope he is encouraged and doesn't struggle with any feelings of being different. He is such a good hearted young man. I love his smile!

[@kirstylfc28]

Miller family video, yes, seeing the beautiful family, yes..... Such an raw topic to discuss with everyone.... Yes! Your stand point on their birth parents is amazing, let them tell their story when they're ready. Honestly such awe inspiring people, I'm so glad those children can call you their parents! It literally warms my heart x

[@suedoyle4526]

I love how you both wrap your beautiful children tightly in this big warm loving security blanket that’s called “family” ❤️❤️❤️ You are both amazing parents 🥰☘️🇮🇪

[@H_K08]

I know sometimes it’s really hard to talk about it. I’m just so happy that both of you guys took in those kids as your own. I just love watching this Channel. ❤ best parents

[@Loislee_]

You owe us no explanation. You are great parents and that’s what matters ❣️

[@lizzievi272]

I don't think i expected anything less from you guys!! Congratulations on your beautiful and amazing family!!

[@RhododendronHtang]

I am happy that Linki progresses some words... He is blessed to have parents like you...

[@nicolepapole]

Bawled my eyes out with Lincoln's first birthday on Instagram and here again. Seriously such a precious gift.

[@lindasmith1921]

Stephen/Amanda, I couldn't agree with you more on not sharing your kids birth parents, it's their story to tell, if they choose. I L❤VE how you guys put your kids first and protect them! 👏🏾Thank you for sharing BetterHelp and ALL they provide!👍🏾

[@themillerfam]

❤️❤️

[@desteni1992]

Thank you for always respecting and protecting your kids, especially about something sensitive like their birth families. I know they will respect and appreciate that decision in the future especially because the internet can be a not so nice and judgmental place. Thank you for always being a breath of fresh air when I watch your videos and being a family that I know is genuine and amazing. I learn so much from you guys. I'm a single mom of 3 young boys and I get so much encouragement and uplifting from your videos. I love your family ❤

[@subhashinireddy9955]

Happy to listen about Lincoln development.,TQ Miller's for taking care of that cute kid.,U people are awesome 👍👍👍

[@shirleysousa9739]

That’s so amazing that you take the children feelings to heart

[@TedJamesLytle790]

Wonderful heartfelt video. Thank you for sharing . . . Lincoln makes me smile. 'Wee' is a word my toddler son used a lot. "I wanna go to the Wee," he would say. We discovered that is the sound he would make going down the slide at the 'Park.' My son is 32 now. Thank you, Linky for that wonderful trip down memory lane. ❤

[@melissamoeller9608]

Lots of respect for choosing to keep your kids’ stories private.

[@shelleymalone4427]

I think it is wonderful that you honour your children’s past and present. Your love for them and for each other shines in every video.

[@aquanettagardner9722]

Watching them to dig for worms it was so heartwarming those two are so adventurous I love to see what else they going to get into LOL I can't wait to see them go fishing I know tears going to roll down my face may God continue blessing you and your beautiful family always well good health and good fortune God bless🙏❤

[@darleneharris2070]

Yes great you respect their privacy. They are so well loved and linky especially is thriving in this bless loving home.

[@katefennell7615]

I totally understand why you don’t talk about the kids background, it’s their story to tell. Although would be great to hear Linky tell his story as it’d mean his speech has improved enough to talk more.

[@yanickdorsaint3781]

As long as they are loved, happy and safe the rest is none of our business. Blessed family. God bless.

[@juliebradshaw1158]

Just the most beautiful family. Lincoln has come a long way and its all down to you. He is an inspiration. Love you guys. Lots of love& hugs from Julie in the UK.❤️

[@emp556]

Personally coming from being adopted myself I can truly respect your decision on making it their choice when they get older if they so choose to share it than they can. It's a true blessing to be chosen by loving people. There are so many parents who have their kids and don't treat them well. Your kids are loved without a doubt. It's so beautiful!!!!

[@arkscrew]

I think that is absolutely the way to raise a kid if you adopt. You don't need to be reminded constantly that you are adopted or an outsider or all those other things. There must already be troubled with so many questions. When time comes, when they grow up and IF they feel like knowing their birth parents, it is their decision to make. Until then I think you guys are doing absolutely right by just being like every other family. It shows you guys are really in it together, love each other and see all of your children the same way.

[@christylovevazquez9286]

Lincoln loves his parents so much,God Bless your Family

[@NiaG34]

I believe Penelope has mentioned her birth parents before on her channel but I’m happy they all have good parents looking out for them now 😊

[@majachenmolhamo6140]

Your family is so healing for my adoptee heart. I stuffed away my feelings about being adopted for years. Trying only to be positive and then recently in my 30’s I started acknowledging what happened in a real way. I was carrying so much I had know idea. I read the book The Primal Wound and it blew me away. Unfortunately, my adoptive family mainly wanted to act like nothing happened and like I wasn’t different, but I am and it doesn’t have to be a negative thing. The differences need compasión and acknowledgement. You’re right adoption is both beautiful and traumatic. Everyone’s grieving process is so different. I love witnessing how much acknowledgement you give to each of your children’s complex growing identities. I cannot even imagine what it would have been like if my dad had tried to learn my native language. It is so healing ❤️‍🩹. Thanks again.

[@themillerfam]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mariamalnuaimi8973]

What a beautiful family. It warms my heart thanks for sharing. I was little tears warm 🥰

[@themillerfam]

Good morning, beautiful people! You’re gonna wanna make sure to watch to the end for the cutest clip ever. 😍 Love you all so much!

[@foreverstriving4u]

Lobe you all too!😁😜

[@lisav834]

Love you all too 💕

[@sharijones113]

Why did I cry at the end?!? Lol.... I just worked my 3rd night in a row.... so I'm going to say I'm tired. Ha! Whom am I kidding??!! Liam was, and still is, just precious. I adore yalls family.

[@scrappingscootergirl]

Lincoln is doing so good! Lincoln and mirrors are so sweet!! I can't imagine conducting "business" in an RV with so many kids! Maybe fresh air naps would be a great idea for him! Stephen took the words right out of my mouth, it amazes being being so small to see Amanda carry Lincoln-Strong mama! I have to give a shout out to Stephen-I think its super sweet that you remembered your dating anniversary date-most guys wouldn't! It really speaks to the love that the two of you share! I really respect you guys for the fact that you don't discuss your children's birth families and back stories. I am always stunned at the lack of respect and boundaries that people who only know you as an online presence, would expect you to talk about such personal things or they ask way to personal questions! I also feel like in today's world and social media that people OVERSHARE! I love that in Lincoln's adoption process you were able to see photos of him enjoying his first birthday! I have previously volunteered full time at our Childrens Aid (your dcfs) making life story scrapbooks (called Lifebooks) for foster kids and kids that were being adopted so that they know their life story! It was such a blessing and rewarding experience to get to watch the kids reaction to seeing/hearing about their stories! That clip at the end of Liam was precious!!

[@divahc1]

I'm so surprised that this is your number one question, but maybe I shouldn't be. It's definitely not our business, nor our place to ask. The fact that you share so much of your family life is incredible.

[@tinashea7790]

Respect to you for respecting your children 👍 The pain you have just thinking about their past is clear to see. They have a whole lot to smile about now 😊

[@roseharvey2664]

Definitely their lives and they have to learn to deal with what has happened in their lives. It gets more complicated as they get older to work out their feelings. They are great kids.

[@divahc1]

I may be mistaken, but I think Penny chose her own name.

[@ednanelson1897]

That is the cutest clip of Liam at the end. You are absolutely right about their biological parents. It's their story to tell. They may never feel comfortable to tell it and that is their prerogative. Thank you for not exploiting them but loving them so much not to. God bless you both

[@kailiwang888]

这些小朋友虽然失去了亲生的父母，但是得到了他们应有的幸福和归属~! The kids lost their birth parents, but they found the love that they deserve! You guys are incredible parents :)

[@frankiecarrel1369]

I respect the fact that you do not share your kids a story because everything you put on the Internet is out there for everyone to see even even people that want to be ugly the ugly and I couldn't do it to my kids either So I really respect the fact that you're doing that but I love the love that you have for all your children It shows so much how much you care for all your kids

[@ew5969]

As an adoptive mama I completely get it. I love that Penny wants to write a book!! It would probably be very healing for her to write it all out too. I also absolutely love your property! It looks so beautiful right now!

[@amandaradforth6810]

I’ve only recently found you after watching another large family where you met up with them for a meal. You seem a really lovely genuine family. I fully respect you’re decision to keep some things private. It is you’re childrens stories to tell. People who aren’t involved don’t need to know.xx.

[@gracekuangyl]

i really respect how you guys respect your kids' feelings & always seeking permission. honestly, i dont even know why are people even asking about it. C'mon, no matter who, its their privacy and not obliged to tell you every single detail. So kudos to yall! We dont hv to know really...=) jus keep it to yourself until one day they decided to share their stories.

[@marywalker2896]

Not having early pictures is in every culture .I am 71 adopted at the age of five and have never seen a baby photo of me .I was so blessed to be adopted as an older child in a time when people wanted baby's and still do..miss u mom and dad .and by the way my parents never talked about my birth parents .your kids are so blessed to have wonderful parents like y,all..

[@themillerfam]

Oh wow!! So awesome!

[@my3suns568]

Steve, Amanda. GREAT chat. My children are from China & Korea. We also get this question very often. We also do not discuss our childrens bio family with outsiders. Many people who are not part of the adoptive fam community do not understand or realize how the question of: "So, where are their real parents?"( They ask this INFRONT of my children) comes across. The first time, my husband & I were SHOCKED!!! We did not know how to respond. Now, we simply reply: "the BIO parents are in their native country. Pls, we do not discuss this part of our lives. Especially, infront of our babies. I am looking forward to your podcast where more serious issues can be discussed. Thank you! :)

[@feuille_faye3446]

[@nadaleenbrady8183]

You both are very classy in not broadcasting private info! Keep em coming you guys rock!!

[@barbarawhite5466]

You are an amazing mom and you are so right to keep private, private! its really no ones business and I'm sure they wouldn't want to have any of their privacy exposed and they shouldn't even ask for those things, because it's none of our business.Yes some people out there will continue to do the unexpected etc.it's many lines that shouldn't be crossed but many will cross them and more, it's been our experiences that when people have said that it would be confidential or unanimous, etc.you can believe me when we say from what our experiences have been looking back etc. that it's not true in what they said or say,what wasn't supposed to go further than the one that was talked with etc.it was not confidential information etc.any more because they exposed what wasn't supposed to be done and that is always going on even today with everyone out there having their personal information exposed in different ways, I was at a rehabilitation hospital Dr's appointment and was given someone else's personal paper work and I had to take it back to them and tell them that they had given me someone else's, constantly in the news now for several months now it's been reported where personal information was sent to someone and they were not the first ones that had the info from that particular place, it seems like they have an ongoing issue in that place with them sending out other peoples personal information to the wrong people etc.nothing is private or secure any more because of the internet etc.I had been to a different one of my Drs and the internet was down for the time of appointment and they were not able to do any thing about it because they weren't able to pull up my medical chart and information etc. It's not the first time it's happened and won't be the last because it's happened more than that and at a different location and they probably should get back to not counting on the Internet for keeping everything because if I or any one else had a medical emergency problem and the internet was down person could die before they could get the help needed, especially when they have your information in only one place that they could not get excess to because of the internet being down and no longer having a regular chart etc.life is ever changing and not always for the best way, even though they have said that life would be easier etc for many people and things, they have caused many major problems for many around the world. We have been watching several KZbin channels and have been hearing about some of them having their things stolen etc.hate to say this but I don't trust anyone and what they say when they say that it's going to be confidential and that is so not true of what has been our experiences with it all, I don't want any one to go through the things that we have been through with the lies that are told by what they say when what they say is not always the truth and not always private, etc.Happy Mothers Day💐 to everyone and pray that everyone will be safe and well and hope that you all will never experience the loss of trust like we have in our lifetime and many times that we have tried to rebuild our trust in people etc. It's not always the best outcome for sure and prayers are things will be better one of these days etc.keeping everyone in our thoughts and prayers🙏 stay well and be safe out there for safety is big issue and nothing is private any more even when they say that they can keep it confidential. We pray that you both and your children have a better experience than we and many others have had with privacy etc.we enjoy watching you'lls beautiful/handsome family and agree with you all that you need to keep their things private from everyone, it's not our business and their experiences are their own to do with as they want etc.thanks for sharing the small parts of life adventure and such a great family.🙏🐦💝🐨🙏

[@marieboutin9054]

You are such good people, awesome parents. What you have done is wonderful. To have adopted several children from Asia and Africa . You already have three children of your own and you did that. You are so loving, caring towards your children. Lincoln is loved , taken care so much of. He can thank God to have you. This almost brings tears to my eyes. I wish there were more people like you .

[@belindasanders7072]

Have much respect 4 u. Protecting our children is a priority. Liam is so cute! Of course all ur children r beautiful & so well behaved. God bless always

[@coopermorehead]

I've seen all your adoption videos with the kids and remember how sad I was when I learned about Jude and Liam being sent from orphanage to orphanage which would not have only been very unsettling, but also it would have made them feel less secure and maybe not so protected. Also, their dialect was mixed up because they didn't always stay in the same local location. What was beautiful about that video was how sweet, humble and well behaved the boys were and when Jude gave those coins to someone, I think, that was begging through the taxi window. The world needs more people like that - people that truly care and have big hearts! As for family - it is what we make family to be whether blood related or not!

[@coopermorehead]

But as for their histories - that is for them to own and tell if they want to because it is private.

[@notjustdeb4327]

I have nothing but complete respect for you both for not telling their story!!! It truly is their story to tell and when they’re old enough they’ll make their own informed decision on if they choose to share it or not…May God continue to bless your family!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Both of you are such wonderful people with such big hearts….

[@debbiealtman4572]

Adopted/ foster child/ children often want to forget the past and move on to the future especially those children whom are lucky to be adopted. Telling people why you adopted these kids and how come is best left private. These kids have rights and it’s between you and the children not something you broadcast. My ex husband and I adopted a boy with special needs who is In a host home. He loves it. We also did foster care for a few years. I’ve heard a lot. So privacy is best yes. You guys are doing such a great job with the children. You both are good loving parents. Great video.

[@dawnwatkins6554]

[@debbiegaley2331]

Honestly, the thought never entered my mind. The way you both raised your children, I don’t see adoption? I see a beautiful family who makes me laugh, cry and truly appreciate God’s love!

We have adopted and know exactly why some things should not be talked about your children. Adoption is not easy but well worth all the ups and downs. Your children are wonderful and is a reflection of you both. Love to all of you,

[@stephaniedonovan2605]

You are hands down doing the right thing! It's there story to share. You love your children and that's why you made this decision. Some that don't understand this do not understand how hard it would be for them later in life if you shared it. My husband was in foster care. We have been together for 20 years. Through the years he's shared about his parents but it was only recently that he shared the worst of it. He struggled only telling me. He would never want anyone else to know it. You see he is an amazing person and loved by many but he's still worried that he will be judged for his parents mistakes. You are doing the right thing. Love you guys
