This birth vlog shows the adoption of our daughter from the perspective of us, the adoptive parents, in the hospital waiting to meet our baby and the emotional 48hrs after she is born. Everything on that day and up until papers are signed is decided by the birth mother. This was a semi-open domestic infant adoption with a state adoption agency.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After 2.5 years of battling infertility we welcomed our little baby girl Evangeline into our family on July 18th, 2019.

Vanessa Penaluna - some days are harder than others though. That’s a fact!

@violetbennet2019 4 года назад

Vanessa Penaluna to recognise that the best thing for a child isn’t you and to give that opportunity to another family is such a selfless thing it takes so much strength. I’m adopted and we definitely have a lot of respect for our birth mums in our family. We call them the tummy mummy’s and say thank you for their selfless gift ever birthday and adoption day. X

@morganwalters4709 4 года назад

💯. We adopted our gorgeous girl and naturally got pregnant 6 mos later after years of infertility. As the pregnancy progressed I began o feel the baby move. I vividly remember rocking our daughter one evening and sobbing as the baby inside me moved. My husband walked in and asked what was wrong. I cried to him, “She felt this. She felt her moving inside her for months and months and still had the courage and strength to give her to us”. That moment still resonates with me almost 14 years later. Birth mothers are courageous and strong beyond comprehension ❤️

@0906blue 5 лет назад

For a birth mother to give a child to a family is the most selfless act a mother can do for her child. I have so much respect for a woman who gives her child away because the child will have a life that she can't give them. God be with you through this time and always.

@JAKSJourney 5 лет назад

Thank you for having such a positive view on adoption. So many people don't understand that placing a child for adoption is never an easy choice no matter the circumstances. Many birth families could parent if they absolutely had to but know what is BEST is to find another family to parent.

I’m a birth mom of a beautiful baby girl that I put up for adoption in March of this year. No judgement please but I was one of those that didn’t know I was pregnant, She just turned 6 months old and is so beautiful. I have my moments of regret but then I realize that god gave me her for a reason and that was to give somebody the gift a child that they couldn’t have. The parents I picked are amazing and I get weekly pictures of her. I have seen her in person a few times as well.

@JAKSJourney 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your story! I am so glad you get to have such a open relationship with your daughter and her parents 💙

@izziegray5675 5 лет назад

This brings tears to my eyes. I am a birth mom as well. I was very young at the time and found out at 28 weeks pregnant. I placed that baby for adoption over 4 years ago. The adoptive parents are the sweetest most kind people, and I am so blessed to have them in my life. There should never be judgment for placing your baby for adoption be proud! You are a warrior! Remember you gave a gift to that family! Don't ever be ashamed!❤️

I'm a birth mom. The one sad thing I went through was disassociating after birth. I had the mindset that my baby was not mine. I'm so happy that I did it though. He's now 9 and he has the most amazing family and little sister. It's an open adoption so I still get to see him. I couldn't have ever made him as happy as he is with them. I don't regret it at all. It was definitely a whole experience but I wouldn't have changed anything. I am finally ready to have my own baby and I know mentally it's going to be all new because he was meant for his parents and this one will be for me.

@JAKSJourney 4 года назад

@caitlinyule7280 5 лет назад

As wonderful as these adoption videos are, I cant help but feel such sorrow for the birth moms.. I cannot imagine handing my baby off. It must be pure agony.

@MsAmaya15 5 лет назад

Caitlin Yule I know. I can’t imagine either. It’s crazy to think about.

@JAKSJourney 5 лет назад

It is true that all adoptions begin with loss but there is lots of love, tears, and joy mixed in as well. Birth mom's are so amazing because they endure the pain of loss for the long term well-being of their child. The pain goes beyond that day too which is why I encourage people to pick adoption agencies that have long term care and support in place for birth moms. Open adoptions also offer a much better long term outcome for everyone in the adoption triad. If you are interested in learning more about open adoptions, check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y5ffCObt-lc.html.

@nicolerae9875 5 лет назад

It really is... the hardest thing in the WORLD!

@charizardx8157 4 года назад

Yup it’s hard but the birth moms have so much love for their child that they are willing to give their child the best life. Even if giving them the best life means not raising their child

@shadow_hillsgrandma8224 Год назад

I helped my BF adopt her baby. I arranged it, went thru labor and held the little guy , rocked him til his new parents came for him. I still cry thinking about him. NOT EVERY PERSON CAN BE A PARENT. Babies are a Gift from God. And need to be with worthy parents.

@pinklife-kristina3066 5 лет назад

Sara Whipkey You are amazing! What you are doing is so selfless and there are so few women out there as brave as you. I hope you can someday share your journey and understand just how amazing you are! I wish more women were as warm hearted as you and I am praying for you and your son. These adoptive parents are getting something so precious that you are selflessly giving them. Their family wouldn’t be possible without you and it’s so amazing of you. Good luck to you and I wish you the best. Thank you for what you are doing that many women are to weak to do. Love.

After 10 years of infertility and two failed IVF treatments, we're going to adopt my sister's baby in July 2020. So grateful for this opportunity and it's nice to know we're not alone. It's much harder to adopt a non-family member baby here in New Zealand though. Adoptive parents have bugger all rights. Anyway, congrats guys. Your videos are invaluable.

Honey, ya'll are all so cute....the baby is adorable. All of her hair will fall out, and it will grow in what ever color it will be. Probably golden brown. MAYBE get more reddish brown as she gets older. I'm 71, have 2 boys, 6 grandchildren and 4 gr grandchildren with one on the way. I am in awe of the strength of the birth mother and of the two of you. God bless you all, and He will. You both will be wonderful parents.

Seeing her in your arms just feels so right. I can’t imagine all the emotions you have been through and to see how open your heart was to the birth mother and how much it affected you makes it obvious that you have the heart of a mother. ❤️ I hope things are settling down and I hope you feel peace and joy!

I have a few cousins that were adopted. My cousin couldn't have children so she adopted and my great aunt couldn't have children so she adopted 3 . My aunt on my dads side couldn't have children she adopted a girl too she just graduated high school she is a beautiful smart kind girl.

She is just so gorgeous. You have a seriously cute baby there! I would love to hear a birth story. I found your channel when you were early on in your last pregnancy (about 10 months ago). I was pregnant with my second child and only a few weeks behind you. I sit here and watch this video with my 9 week old baby and it has made me cry. I cry because you finally get your baby, for the babies you lost and also for the birth Mum. What an incredible thing to do. Evangeline is so lucky to have so many people who love her and want the best for her. xx

Thank you for sharing your adoption story. My husband and I had a similar experience adopting our daughter. Our experience happened within 10 days; from finding out she was a possibility to taking her home from the hospital. Our daughter is such a miracle! I just loved how you described your feelings about the birth-mother and how she is essentially trusting you both to parent this baby girl. I felt the same way and your story has allowed me to put those feelings to words. So when we are sharing more about our daughters adoption story with her, these will be words we use. Thank you.

Major props to the birth mom. I dont know the whole story but I can imagine how hard it must be to give your baby away because you know it’s what is best for the baby. Beautiful little girl. Congrats guys. :)

Birth moms are the strongest people in the adoption triad(birth mom, adoptive fam, baby) for sure. Thanks for watching!

Congratulations on your new baby daughter I believe she's got strawberry blonde hair though LOL😅

@Karenmkk28 4 года назад

I TOTALLY understand why you don't have birth mom in your video that you show us, but hopefully you got some with her to show Evangeline. I also love her name!!

@JAKSJourney 4 года назад

Thanks for watching Karen! We did get to visit with her several times while we were all in the hospital which was wonderful.

The birth story isn't yours to tell, so I vote no to a birth story. I really appreciate Gathered Nest for her respect in these areas, and her acknowledgement that no adoption is without trauma for the child and the mother.

@krist3nmari38 5 лет назад

The gathered nest is one of my favourite adoption families 😍

@rebornsnuzzles2573 4 года назад

@@krist3nmari38 In general, I have a very negative opinion of adoption. Most families never acknowledge trauma, never view their kids as anything other than some door prize. It's really loathsome. I'm glad to have found someone who doesn't seem to think that humans are disposable and interchangeable.

Did you ever think to do a surrogate? Or does that not work either? Edit: and how do you pronounce her name?

@JAKSJourney 4 года назад

Hi Abby, thanks for stopping by my channel. Surrogates are used when couples have infertility due to uterine issues such as severe uterine septum or insufficient lining; surrogacy all in usually costs around $100k in the US. While we have a duel factor and recurrent loss diagnosis, my uterus has always been responsive and able to carry a pregnancy. We are actually doing a embryo transfer next month so consider subscribing and joining the journey. I say Evangeline's name in my latest video around 4:50 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JOgYw8cFG08.html

Forgive me if you already stated this. But will u tell her story? Or is this something u prefer not to put on YT (Totally understand).

@JAKSJourney 5 лет назад

Right now we aren't sharing anything on YT or with family/friends. We are going to make sure Evangeline is the first one to know her story and then she can decide if she wants to share.

@tiffanym08 2 года назад

Can you recommend an agency or consultant? Your videos are so amazing! I just found you guys! We are in the Homestudy process right now

@JAKSJourney 2 года назад

We used a local state based agency instead of a national one, so that the birth family would be close and we wouldn't have to travel to pick up a baby. If you are in the US, it takes about two weeks (if everything goes smoothly) to get through the court process that allows you to take the baby back to your home state.
