I'm sorry but Who said that?? I guess I missed that piece

@@sassysamsquantch6178 that made me physically sick.

I thought he was referring to attending the event, not adoption in general.

@@amieparham7657 the event was all about adoption. He did take the kid home just to send him back 6 months later. Dudes a jerk and kinda hit on my creepy radar, but that’s another subject for another time.

And his adopter was a teacher who gave him up 🥺 how sickening.

@KMcKenzie9 horrible, he didn't seem invested from the start

I just want to hug that child and never let go?

Oh me too he deserves all the love and happiness ❤

That broke my heart. I wonder what made it “not a good fit”… Frank seemed like a good kid, plays piano, well spoken, excited to go home to a family 😢😢 Id it was the biological child, they wouldn’t “return” the child, they would do everything they can to help

Until J is done with High School, they probably don't have the money anymore

@@mimi0424 I live in New York and it’s not free unless your family makes under 125,000 a year. They def make way more then that.

@@mimi0424 lol. Not free. Maybe at an NY state school… definitely not Harvard or out of state schools 😂

@@mimi0424 if it was free for everyone in NY I wouldn’t have $100,000 in student loan debt… However, I have heard adoptive children often get free schooling IF that is what you meant. But you can NOT generalize that school is free in NY…

@Amber OBVIOUSLY I meant for Foster Care/adoption..theres rules to it. I looked at the application. But her kids ALL QUALIFY for it. She's said so herself. However I doubt they will go.& it isn't a full ride like she THINKS...its basically grants .bc she acts as if they don't need to do ANYTHING..she's riding this wave and not realizing a Monsoon is gonna wipe her out & she will have NOTHING! I guarantee it! Josh could have retires early w the $ they made me but bc she constant flexes and constantly overspends they won't have nearly enough to retired. Ppl think that a million is alot. It's not when you have 10 kids. She's even said she had NO IDEA how much she's spend at the grocery store until she added it up. She was off by thousands!! I have a work history of financial planning & she WILL BE BROKE! If she's not already....yes he makes 100k from his job, but they spend so much on stuff. It's too late. She's addicted to it now. If there is an income limit like some ppl state then she was told a bunch of bs. Bc at this point they couldn't get much at all. So I stand corrected

It is reminiscent of a farm market with animals, disgusting what the heck are these adults thinking and then to give a teen boy over to a SINGLE man for 15 days, just hand him over what the heck.....like that shouldn't raise red flags

exactly! I watched the video a while ago and I am under shock!!!!

and imagine the pedophiles having such easy access to children.. practically being able to pick out their "type". makes me sick.

Same! It was so disgusting and inhumane! My heart broke and it was so hard to watch.

yes :c

She’s the worst 😮

She should have instructed all the kids how many gold eggs they could collect before the hunt.

​@@theresebizabishaka7605 that's how we did it with our kids (and we actually hid them). We told them they could each get one gold egg. My oldest found a second and happily helped my youngest find that egg instead of complaining and taking it for herself.

And you know how kind and gentle James is based solely on the dogs behaviors. They love him, trust him and navigate to him because of this. And dogs have a very keen sense when it comes to this. You can’t make this up.

The donuts 🍩! I can't stand it. Those kids have sadly put on so much weight bc of the food. She obviously doesn't monitor it. Not that you should starve them..but it's an absolute free for all. I guarantee you they are pre-diabetic etc

They are not emotionally available this in then cashes attachment issues - there no way they can be an emotional availabile parent to 12 kids . Those kids have so many attachments problems due to the abuse and trauma .it’s terrible .

i love this

Adoption is human trafficking

All of this. I watched this and it literally made me so sad and sick

I wouldn't assume that the parents are "enjoying" it, more that the event is going on and they need to attend to see if "their" child is there, so they are nervous/excited/anxious. The agency/organization putting on the even in this fashion is the one that should be questioned. Maybe the kids are cool with it, but if not, then that's a problem. But I agree with you, it made me feel ill.

@@alanamileras2329 I agree we shouldn't judge the potential adoptive parents for atrendance. I meant the display, the program itself, was created for the express purpose of visual enjoyment by an audience. The heart of this is what disgusts me. I never thought I'd see something like it.

YES!!!!

I get the feeling that she probably didn't get much love and her behaviour around food definitely suggests food insecurity.

@@powderandpaint14 YES! we all need to love and accept ourselves to even begin to love another. She uses things instead of a true intimate connection with anyone. Alicia identifes completely with being a mother of X amount of kids....to the point she cooks food and makes lunches they do not even eat.....she is living in her own mind as opposed to the PRESENT.

There is for sure something with her overspending and her huge amounts of food!

The fact we don't know anything about HER childhood but EVERYTHING about her kids

That man tried and felt it wasn't a good fit. It's too bad for the young man but you have no idea what went on and what the issues might have been.

Reminds me of the orphan train here in the United States. Heartbreaking book but very eye opening on how in some ways society hasn't changed much from 100 years ago with how children are 2nd class citizens

Exactly! Kids biological or adopted are going to act up sometimes and as mothers we always love them.

May I know what happen to the kids that noone wants once they grew up? How old do you uave to be once you are out of the system? Then what happen next?

Right? She could even write their name on one… find the one golden egg with your name.

My heart breaks for James. I swear so many ppl would take him. Including myself. She's awful.

Same. That was so hard to watch. I just wanna scoop up all those kids and tell them how important & loved they are. 😫

Absolutely heart breaking i just can't imagine

Two?! A failed adoption is super rare where i am from, im really flabbergasted to hear this child has two 😢

Agreed!! So glad josh made this video,people need to see this and stop being blinded by Alusha.

@@DogLover_365 it was a very eye opening video.

​@@Ryanireland444 yes!! Entire video was just🤯🤯🤯

@@DogLover_365 When I was watching it. All I could think of was, none of these kids have a voice or say in their own lives. It’s gut wrenching. The 60 minutes. It was like a cattle auction. These are human beings!!! DD pretty much does the same thing with telling them what to say, what to wear,like they have no opinions or options. I hope to God those kids don’t live in fear . She was very quick to say that N and D would need to be placed in another home if she can’t film them. How many of her adopted kids overheard that conversation?? Ughh

This! As soon as I saw they were with Lush…I got livid! Forcing her kids to play instruments to get into college too. None of her kids really look happy with playing in my opinion. What they feed them, so different!

And when they hung out at universal with them

That woman is super weird

Why would the attending adults be ashamed? They likely needed or were asked to attend the event put on by the agency or organization they're using to see if "their" child is there, so they are nervous/excited/anxious. The agency/organization putting on the even in this fashion is the one that should be questioned. Maybe the kids are cool with it, but if not, then that's a problem. But I agree with you, it made me feel ill.

@@alanamileras2329 I guess I can see that point of view. Just a very strange way of going about matching kids to parents for sure!

Agree 100 percent

Even though James face was blurred, he looked shocked and sad. Lush your an egg…………..cracked and scrambled!!!!!

Plus white claws and cAwfeE

I never knew that 😢 horrible!

My husband's late grandma used to hate that we would not post our children online and that we would request everyone else not as well. If we saw pictures of them online we'd demand it removed and stop sending photos. She would use other relatives and tell us they do it and they have degrees... 😅 as if that matters and as if we don't have degrees. I would have loved to have sent the last video he made to her. I used to try to explain how vulnerable children are online and she would get so upset. And I get it, a Grandma wants to show off her adorable Littles, but the times have changed. I still resent the family members who said to her "oh they are being ridiculous and how rude." As if we were doing it to be mean or callous. Nope just doing our jobs!

Yes, it reminded me of people being paraded during slave auctions.

Holy shit I am so sorry!!!

I assume because of parental "supervision" or it being because the parent is the one technically with the channel...perhaps? Idk I wonder the same thing and that's the only thing my brain came up with.

So true

Wow...she is disgusting

Yes! I wonder if they all actually have FASD or not because I’ve had extensive training in it as a sped para and foster parent and I just don’t see any of the facial features. My son was also evaluated and and has a lot of the facial features for it. But because his weight was 8% instead of 5th%, and they features weren’t significant enough, he got an autism diagnosis. There’s a lot of reasons foster children are delayed or have intellectual delays. A lot of times it’s simply from neglect. The first 3 years of your life play an enormous role in your entire life!
