I was adopted at 4 weeks old. I never knew my birth family, but my parents celebrated my adoption day every year. So I grew up knowing I was adopted and made to feel special by having my own special day. It was like 2 birthdays a year. Your doing great! So happy for y'all.❤️
I absolutely love the fact that y'all have done an open adoption. It is so clear how important having a family is to you both, and how important your family is to you, and the fact that Story's adoption is open gives you a chance for an even bigger family. It also makes room for Story to get so much more love, and that's so beautiful, and I think it encompasses everything you both stand for as parents; love, joy, family, appreciation, and support. It is so wonderful to see how happy you and Dallin are being parents to Story, Bella. You have been so strong for so long, and you've been through so much, and you deserve to enjoy this time with your daughter. Story is the luckiest baby girl in the whole world to have you both as her parents
@@maggyc8344 it means the birth mother has kept the line of communication open with Bella and Dallin, and wants to be a part of Story’s life still (in whatever way they all agree on). It means she’ll have contact with them. A closed adoption would mean they wouldn’t even know her name, and she doesn’t want contact.
@@phoebegray7994 Open is some relationship between the birth family and adopted parents, the amount is depending on the family and closed adoption is no information is exchanged at all and the records are closed.
@@phoebegray7994open means that the biological parent(s) could still be involved in the baby’s life just not as a parent. a closed adoption is no contact at all !
I think this might be my favorite video of you guys so far because I can just tell how unbelievably happy you guys are at this stage of life. I smiled this entire video lol. I love that you guys are her parents!
After seeing these guys go through some of the hardest times, it is so beautiful to see one moment that totally flips their life around. It brings hope in everyone's life. All we need is that one moment :)
You guys radiate joy! I kept finding myself smiling while watching this. So happy for you guys! Story is beautiful and you guys are the best parents for her!
Y'all have a happy baby because you are happy parents, babys can feel what you feel and all she has ever felt from you is love and happiness every single second you've had her, LITERALLY every second!! She is a product of her environment! ❤❤❤❤❤
First--every single thing about this beautiful baby you have, is so spiritual, and so God sent!! The story about your daughter is just so incredibly amazing! And the fact that you had picked out her name before she was even born, is truly unbelievable! The entire situation is just so meant to be, and so God sent! And, you can totally take credit for your beautiful daughter's happiness, BC she can feel how extremely happy you are to have her in your lives!! SHE IS HAPPY BC OF U BOTH!!!
My babies were all very happy unless they were sick or overly tired. They were great sleepers so I feel very fortunate. I do believe babies feed off of their parent’s temperament. They mirror our facial expressions and sense if we are stressed etc. I feel like Story feels your love and happiness. You both are amazing parent’s and your joy is a wonderful thing! 💕
I practiced attachment and parenting before it had a name. I wore my babies all the time probably up until the point that they were kicking my knees lol And they rarely cried because they had constant comfort I was actually thinking about that the other day growing up and (three of them are technically adults) I don't remember crying fits or really any difficult times besides my second son who never slept literally just never slept and he's 21 and he still doesn't sleep. But even then he wasn't crying he was just laying with us. My kids call me a hippie parent😂
I said in another comment that she has been happy from birth so it's inherently her character. She is adorable. You are both always happy, chatting to her & smiling, which helps. I can't remember myself always being that happy with my boys. So carry on, you're doing fantastically.
Reg Happy baby comment 14:08 - i think you CAN take credit for it. You want her there and her presence - and she can likely feel it. She is loved and wanted (speaking from personal experience struggling a lot in my 20s ad 30s realizing I wasnt wanted like so many others) no worries im okay and thriving now - but have decided to not have kids of my own. So when I see young loving parents like this - it makes me happy to know some parents are deserving and the kid is off to a great start. Love your content - very wholesome. Keep going.
My husband and I adopted a precious 21 month year old from china. Oh how we love her. She is now 24. She graduated from Georgetown University and is working in another state. She is funny and brilliant and just wonderful. Pure joy. So happy for you💕
As an adoptive parent myself I do believe there are little souls out there just waiting to become yours through whatever means God designs All my kiddos are adopted and it has always just been a part of who they are like having blond hair etc We have always celebrated their birthday and their “ family day” when we became a family . When they were in school they brought treats on both days , birthday and family and all their friends were jealous. Lol . That was 40 years ago and we still celebrate both. We have been able to connect to their bio family and now we have a huge extended family . I have also heard people call it gotcha day or blessing day .Enjoy every moment …watching you guys just brings all those joyful memories back ❤️
As a birth mother myself, I love having an open adoption with my daughter and her adoptive parents. I’m so happy for you guys that you get to experience that as well in your own special way! ❤️
Dallin is such a fantastic dad! He gets up early in the morning and during the night to let his wife sleep! Bella doesn't have to do much except rest. How awesome!
May 29 is also my birthday and my wedding anniversary 😀it’s a good day.I found you a few days ago and I’m so happy for you both that you have your beautiful daughter,enjoy every minute.❤️
I have followed your story ,because i have a adopted daughter that will turn 33 today .I have had her sence she was 3 days ol and i love her with all m heart .God bless you two and thank you for sharing you story .my name is JoAnn
Dallin and Bella, You can take credit for Story's personality and temperament. She is the happy baby that she is because of all of the love that you two have for her and show her. In turn she can feel all your love, this making her the very happy baby that she is. What a blessing she has made for your life and you have made for hers. 🥰 💖 😘💕
That little clip of her laughing is so adorable. I can understand your experience with the happy baby. My son is the same way!! Still so so happy for you guys.
Не так давно в ленте RU-vid я увидела ваши Shorts , посмотрела и влюбилась в вашу семью! Вы такие милые и счастливые! Всегда приятно наблюдать за искренне счастливыми людьми)). А сегодня я узнала, что Стори родилась с моим сыночком в один день! Ему тоже исполнилось 5 месяцев. У нас с вами совсем непохожий образ и обстоятельства жизни, и так приятно наблюдать, как вы так счастливо исполняете трудную рутинную работу родителей младенца. Вы молодцы! Неудивительно, что Стори всегда улыбается😊. P.s. Я никогда не писала комментарии, но вы вдохновили меня вас похвалить 😂
You are such natural parents! You can tell how much love you have for her, because you have learned her so quickly and she knows you’re there for her. There is such mutual love, happiness, and trust in your family. She doesn’t fuss because she doesn’t need to before one or both of you know exactly what she wants 💗
When you said ‘I wish we could take credit for it’ about her being a happy baby, YES YOU CAN. Trust me. Baby’s pick up on the vibes of their surroundings. They feel when they have a content and happy home. My 2 babies were the same, sooo good and smiley, and brilliant sleepers. I only begun having ‘issues’ around the age of 3, they completely skipped the stereotypical terrible 2 stage. And I always take credit for that because of how me and their dad were around them. We are calm and happy, never argue and stress. Doesn’t always have to be because of the genes ❤
❤🥰🥰 U 2 ARE THE BEST PARENTS AS WELL ❤❤ I HV 4 boys and Yes Every day was like Christmas for me They hv all grown up and left home now and I still feel like it's Christmas when I get to see them 💙💙💙💙💗💙💥💫❤️🔥💖💝💘
I want to adopt but it’s so pricey lol after two losses and having a hard time getting pregnant husband and I are trying foster to adopt I want to adopt but we’ll see.congratulations 😊
She's two weeks younger than my boy who was born on May 16th, 2023 I'm really enjoying every single moment with him and enjoying this month's milestones ❤ hope you're doing the same
I was so heartbroken for all you guys were going through before and had prayed that God would send you guys your sweet baby❤ This was all part of God’s perfect plan and I am so happy you two have been able to experience so much with Story already; she is a lucky girl.
Can I just say that the first time I saw Bella I thought she was the main character (Jennifer Morrison) in Once Upon a Time, the characters live in STORYBROOKE! This blew me out for a minute.
Yall go ahead and take credit for her temperament, her home life effects her temperament, if she wasn’t so loved and cared for she may not be who she already is becoming so yes you take credit for that because y’all have set the stage for her personality to be able to be so open and happy
she was born on my sister and brothers birthday! they are 10 years apart born on the same day May 29th, happy gemini baby! maybe story has or will have a secret twin? haha
Listening to your song missing pieces l cried coz you got exactly what was missing. I trust God will answer my prayers too one day. You guys are so awesome. You really gave me a reason not to give up. You deserved Story withal. To a wonderful future with your cute little Story Belle❤❤
Stories birthday is my granddaughter’s birthday! She was born in the year of 2000! You were going through grief and clinical depression, honey! But look what God had waiting for you!!!😮❤🎉
Della vlogs........I am so happy for you guys!!!!! If anyone deserved a smiling and fun baby......it was the two of you!!!!!!! I pray that God will bless you all three with his mercy......his love......and peaceful times in your life!!!!!! God Bless you!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I cant stop smiling while watching your video, you are amazing parents for Story. I can feel the joy and happiness while talking about her😍 Godbless your family.
i think being adopted is better than being biological honestly. imagine having parents who go through a thousand more steps just to get you. they literally choose you out of everyone else! that’s the sweetest thing ever. and i’m just imagining Story asking you what her name means and you explaining it to her. Also imagine giving a baby all the love that is waiting for them.
Story is growing so fast enjoy every moment so happy for you both your loving parents and you are so happy it's lovely to see you both smile at last after all your disappointments xx❤❤
