DAY IN THE LIFE OF OUR SPECIAL NEEDS DAUGHTER//Parenting a Non Verbal Child//Special Needs Adoption 

I cannot believe the progress she has made from when you brought her home. I've never witnessed something this HUGE. This is how powerful love is and what it can do. This is like gods perfect love revealing itself thru you. Your a woman worthy of profound admiration. God bless you and your family greatly.

Mika is growing up so fast. She is such a gorgeous child, and her joy is contagious. 💖

When Mika becomes verbal and she may! She will certainly have a lot to say! So highly intelligent! Miracles are all around us !

She's so smart! Obviously she feels really confident and good about her learning! Who cares that she's not vocal! She is in her own way!!!

I love this little girl and she is thriving each and everyday.Mika is one special little girl so lovable and funny xx

What a beautiful, smiley, happy girl. Huge props on being able to do a workout after such a full day, too!

Thank you for sharing this sweet video of a day in the life of Mika Ella. Her sweet spirit shines through in whatever she’s doing. And she’s doing amazing! Making great progress! We are all so proud of her! Y’all have a great day!🌻

Miss Mika you are becoming so independent way to go Mom and Dad. I can see you really like using you PECs board to communicate. I have students who use that same system along with signing. Keep signing and using your board. You’ve come so far.

Aww dear little smart mika ella , Ashley you and Stan changed this child’s life beyond all recognition, you are great parents. Kind regards from U.K. 🇬🇧, she folds those towels like a boss.

I am so happy I found your family recently! Mika is beyond darling and such a great communicator:) I am a teacher of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing and her sign language is amazing!! We also adopted our 2 daughters. They came to us as infants thru foster care and we were very blessed to get to adopt them. They are 24 and 27 now! Adoption is so important to us too. I pray every night for God to surround all of the babies/children in orphanages around the world with His love and strength and that forever families, like your incredible family, will find them. Izzy is totally darling too! You are all so blessed to have each other. A fan from Boston........

I love these little glimpses into the girls' day. The PECS board is so easy to use nowadays, compared to them 17 years ago. I love the natural voice. Mica is doing so well.

How far Sweet Mika has come!!! It's amazing with love from God and Family can do.

Glory2GOD He is Faithful & using your Lovely Family in this earth with Mighty BIG LOVE ! Glory2GOD

I like how the voice on Mika’s device actually sounds like a kid and not like an adult!

In all the time I have been watching your vlog, I have never seen Mika with a grumpy face, her eyes are so beautiful and bright they light up a dreary day.

Bravo Mika, bravo Ashley 👏 ♡

You are such a great mom I would love to be close so I could spend time with your family love from Arkansas

She is so precious!

Yes, everyone loves Mika.

♥️♥️♥️♥️,god bless u mika and family😊😊😊

Mike is so smart and delightful

She really is a little sweet heart 🥰

I've heard absolutely amazing things about the boogie board tablet! The dry erase board works well, but if you use it constantly, it may be worth the upgrade!💟💟💟

From what I’ve seen in the videos, Mika is a really sweet little girl❤️

She is sooooo gorgeous, sassy and funny!

Yes we love Mika❤️ she is a beautiful little girl

Mika, we have those dice in my classroom, too! 💗

Such a beautiful wee girl she was blessed when u and ur husband gave her a home

Sign language is super expensive in the face too. So with “how many” you need to show your face with a questioning face 😲 great job! I always had a hard time in ASL classes because of my resting face.

So cute Mika god bless you 💕💕💕💕

Yes we love her

So smart!!!!!!

Awe I commented but I can't find it! I am so impressed with all her talents and skills. Thank God for the doctors who support her and you, her parents who facilitate it!!!

I saw a video on RU-vid about a non verbal child her age and they entroduced a dog into his life and soon he started to talk to the dog! I hope she will learn to talk

Such a smart beautiful child of God!!! Go Mika girl. 😍

wow she is quite intelligent. kids can absorb so much and love to learn.

She is just precious!! Another vlog idea would be nighttime routines for your little ladies. :)

Awww Mika is such a blessing! Did you have to learn sign language Ashley, knowing Mika would have verbal challenges? I think you are an amazing family. Love from the UK x

She's so sweet 😍

Wonderful to see 💕 God Bless you for the nurturing you give 🌻 I wonder if early trauma caused her to be mute ? Or physical development differences in her speech centre ? Both I guess - you are Angel in what you do already

Aww she is so cute💗💗💗

Pretty and smart. You are elping her be her Best. Amazing

She is very smart.

Awww,she is just precious 😍. Smart as a whip too! Are her little shoes corrective? They remind me of my nieces that she wore to straighten her little bow legs,worked too!Mika is quite the artist.Really enjoyed the vlog,hugs from Missouri 🤗

super super amazing she is

Que bueno que Mika Ella está tan bonita y tan feliz que Dios bendiga a toda su familia 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦

Beautiful little lady.

Love your videos

Mika Ella is lovely 🥰

love from Malaysia :)

Mika is so pretty, pretty little girl.

What a beautiful girl💖

Mika is very bright little girl.

I really love these videos so much I was just wondering how old is Isabell and Mika

I bet she loved this because she loves the camera

A beautiful little girl. Where is Izzy? We missed her so much❤️🌹👏👍

Mika seemed very loved and cared for at the orphanage she lived in the Philippines. do you keep in touch with the staff at all?

Beautiful Mika Ella❤🎈❤

Awww

Mika Ella I sometimes have cheerios at night for supper

Do you all sign to her as well so she learns? Or she just sign to you? I love she’s able to communicate with sign language and the tablet ♥️

She s so beautifull. Kisses from France

I’m not sure so I’ll ask, will she learn to talk?

Mika Ella is such a beautiful little lady! Her eyes are gorgeous and her smile is infectious. I pray the Lord will continue to heal her speech and she will talk, in Jesus name. You and your husband are amazing parents!!! Blessings to you and your family!

Can I ask Why she doesn’t talk? I have a grand daughter that’s two and doesn’t talk but she’s very expressive. Your little girl reminds me of my grand daughter.

Sign language numbers are a lot easier than getting her to do them two handed!

God bless you and your family, I know it's been a tough month, with all the hardships and trials. But always remember to trust Jesus always no matter what. He is with you. Keep going. I declare for more blessing upon your family.

Is Grayson adopted too? Why does he have a British accent?

You are a beautifull and fantastique maman

It looks like she is due for new shoes. When she put her feet on the table it looked like one of the soles was coming off

How old Is she your daughter

I like sensory stuff Dose she

This was so interesting, informative, and fun to watch! Go Mika!! Oh, and Go Mama!!
