Reunited With Birth MOM 

Seeing Hannah tear up in car on way home got me teary-eyed.

Hearing that her bio mother deported and her kids were put into the foster care system is extremely horrible and sad

It’s so amazing how Crystal and Aaron give their kids the opportunity to meet with their biological family. You guys are the best.

I love how Alex is like I can't let cute girls at Target see me but half a million people watching the vlog is allowed to see him. 😂 And let me tell you every girl watching this is beautiful.

I can’t imagine how overwhelming that must’ve been for Hannah, especially with her mother not speaking English. I hope she got all the answers she wanted.

This is such an important story because hannahs story is so many kids of immigrants stories thank you for sharing as an immigrant whose mom thankfully got her documents right before she brought me here this hits home

Your not being judgement, you are being a parent who is defending your child. And feeling hurt because your child is hurting.

That is a heart wrenching situation. I can almost feel the hurt Hannah's bio mum must have felt for not being able to make that court date for reasons out of her control. I'm so glad Hannah finally got to meet her. I hope they continue to have a relationship and build a bond.

Crystals words were beautiful. Alot of children are left without a mom or dad because of deportation. All they want is a better life for them and their kids. Thats it.. ❣ im first Generation Mexican American. My grandparents walked for days and days along train tracks, eating the seeds inside grass. When they arrived, they slept in a park and ate from dumpsters while looking for work. They now live in a 5 bedroom home. My grandpa passed from covid RIP but he would tell me he never thought he'd be living in a home like that. Im thankful every day for my floor,roof. My AC. HOT WATER. I wouldn't be able to live this life i have if it wasn't for their sacrifices. Grateful every single day. Never judge.

The whole situation is heartbreaking, especially when you know that Hannah's first adoptive family was abusive. She had a birth mom who was working hard to get her back, and because she got deported, Hannah was sent into a possibly worse situation.

like Hallie updating on the baby shower and how the meeting was going

The hug she gave Hannah… you could see the love. I could never imagine losing custody of a child ❤️

Hannah, You are such a strong & beautiful young lady. Never let the world get you down. You're unique, you're spontaneous, you're sensitive, you're friendly, you're selfless, you're independent, you're you. There is no other you. You're one of a kind & you're loved beyond measure ❤

I feel for you. My parents are both Mexican, but I was born and raised in the United States. Something went wrong with their paperwork and legal status in the States in 2010, my mom and sister moved to Mexico in 2016, I moved to Mexico half a year later, and then my dad moved to Mexico half a year after that. We have all lived in Mexico (though occasionally in seperate houses due to financial problems) since then, but because I am an American citizen, I am able to move back to the United States and will be going to College in Minnesota this year. My parents, however, are under a 10-year ban that forbids them from asking permission to enter into the United States. The ban will likely start this year, but sometimes it takes even longer than 10 years for such cases to be resolved, and my parents might be banned from entering into the United States their whole lives. My parents won't be able to attend my graduation in the United States. My parents won't go to my wedding if I marry there. My parents will miss out on so much of my life and it breaks my heart. And all because of some words someone decided to write on paper and call law. As a Mexican-American, I feel for you, Hannah, I feel for your mom, and I feel for your family. Just like your mom doesn't know much about you and your past, there's probably so much of her that you don't know about. Get to know her, ask her, hear her, tell her your side of the story, open up. She loves you. I sense she suffered most days of her life thinking about you. Many Mexican American families go through things like this, and it never gets easier to hear another story. Thank you for wanting to learn Spanish. That will mean the world to your mom. If you ever become close enough to her, please hug her before she reaches out to hug you. Initiating contact speaks more than a million words. This video was heartwarming in many ways. I think your mom has been waiting for this moment since the day you were taken from her. I hope your bond with your mom grows stronger. And please look into your Mexican roots! I used to hate the idea of being of Mexican descent, but after spending almost 5 years here, I've come to love my background and all of its culture, food, music, and (especially) people! There is no culture like the Mexican culture. We are familia! People are so open and welcoming and hospitable. Here, weddings last at least half a day and parties go on till sunrise! (and we celebrate just about anything). We have this event we do at home with close friends and family (or whoever you want to get closer to) that we call "Cafe", and if someone invites you to a "Cafe", it means they will receive you in there home, sit you down with coffee and endless Mexican baked treats and goodies (the best in existence) to have a conversation filled with laughs, fun stories, deep discussions, tears, and much love for hours until the clock hits midnight and you realize you have to go to work the next day. Mexico is this and so much more! I bet your mom would love to tell you all about it. Tips to learn another language: *watch movies, shows, and read books. Make learning a language fun! The more you enjoy it, the more you will catch on to. *get someone to practice with. If you know someone fluent ask them to be your "language parent". A language parent doesn't speak to you like they would a baby or a child (ironically). They talk to you as if you already know the language, they correct you kindly when you mess up, and patiently teach you new things. This way, you learn quicker. *last but MOST IMPORTANTLY: think in the language. We think in the language we're most comfortable with. But start thinking in Spanish, and it will hardwire the language into your head. When you are in your room, think to yourself, "the room is big" and "my bed is comfy" in Spanish, or think, "the water is cold" while you're having a glass of water in the kitchen. Thinking in a language is the fastest way to pick it up. Anyway, I wish you the best blessings and pray that God guides you and your mom into a loving, stable relationship that I believe you both hope to have. You got this, Hannah. :)

I love how open you are with the biological parents. My parents didn’t want me to have anything to do with my biological father. It wasn’t til he passed away did they show support

😭 got me crying. It's so heart warming to see the change in Hannah over the years saying she didn't want any relationship with her biological mom and not know her or anything to having the courage to go and meet her biological mother and have a change in heart and have love for her.

I am so proud of Hannah's mother and I command her mother because most biological mothers do not want to see their children after they are adopted to another family, but you can tell that Hannah's mother was very glad to see her daughter I hope they stay in touch with each other and I hope Hannah gets a chance to see her biological siblings one day and I can tell this really touched Crystal

Hannah's mom has to feel some kind of peace knowing hannah is so well taken care and has a good shot in life.

Crystal and Aaron are such incredible parents and Hannah is such a credit to them. She’s so well-spoken and mature, they should be endlessly proud of her💜

I am a born Mexican and I get to hear and see cases just like Hannah’s and I’m just crying. I cannot imagine her bio mom pain when she found out that she lost her kids. 😔😔😔 I’m glad you got the opportunity to get to meet her and get a connection to your bio family. 🙏🏼

My comment is for Crystal: I am in awe over how you handled this whole situation. You are such an incredible, supportive parent. Being a parent is the hardest job in the world, so the added responsibilities you have as a parent through foster care and adoption is amazing. I can only imagine what it took to hold your feelings, Hannah’s feelings and remain cautiously optimistic throughout this experience. I love how you match your actions to your philosophy. You are truly a great Mom. 💜

After listening Hannah’s feelings about her birth mom talking about how was she as a baby, for the first time i could actually understand how hard it must be for kids who get adopted or are in fostercare. It teared me up when she said Crystal and Hallie would talk about these things and she always missed this... You guys are so brave, and i am so happy it went well.

I'm so glad that Hannah's story is unfolding the way it is! It's so unfortunate how it happened but it's also cathartic in a way because this wasn't a story about the parents not caring or trying. Breaks my heart a bit, but it all happened for a reason and now we all get to see Hannah's beauty!!! Xoxo

People like Crystal are so rare wow. The way she unconditionally loves all her children and encourages them to build relationships with their bio families. I know many parents who adopt are not like that (not a bad things since they may be overprotective and just protecting them). Children really need validation from their bio parents to feel truly seen and loved.

It would be nice if someone could put spanish subtitles for this video so that maybe the mom could read how they are feeling too

Hannah is brave going forward and meeting everyone, hearing her mom's story, and allowing her mom to touch her and try to open the door to some sort of relationship with her and her siblings soon.

Can we just appreciate how cool this family is

Living for so long in California in a primarily a Hispanic area. There family means everything to them. It makes my heart hurt for her mom.

Hannah is such a strong young lady, and she’s so lucky she has a mom like you Crystal to look up too❤️ Love y’all 💕

Halie used the word kind several times to describe Hannah’s bio mom . I think that is the greatest compliment one can receive.

Oh wow that's so heartbreaking. I feel so bad for Hannah's birth Mom. How heart wrenching for her, I couldn't imagine how she felt. On another note I'm so glad that you guys are Hannah's parents now.

This video just reiterates how much pure Crystal is, the way she quickly empathises and understand situations is amazing

Can I say, this… I see a lot of Hannah in her biological mom from the glimpse, I saw her! I am so happy that she met her biological mom and be at her sister’s baby shower! I want to say, you and Shelly really inspired many people to give back! Let your children contact their biological family! I’m glad that Halie was there being so supportive and be there for that special moment! I cannot wait for special moments with her biological mom. You might can ask Cynthia’s biological dad and step mom to learn Spanish because they seem to know how to speak it from glimpse I saw of crazy middles for free in ways! Also, I didn’t know that Hannah got a gun pointed to her.. that made me so sad to hear that! I cried so much! Love you all and congratulations still Hannah, seeing your biological mom!! ❤️

I got so emotional when Hannah teared up in the car. Just wanted to hug her. Thank you for that words, Crystal. Your way of parenting really is an example for me. And Hannah, you're an incredible, sweet and strong lady. Sending all the love, always

Wow Hannah you are so strong for sharing your story, sadly you and your mom were affected by ICE but I'm so glad your mom could come back. Everyday I fear for my parents not coming back, you are so strong. Hopefully spanish is an easy language for you! Que Dios te bendiga y a tus dos familias.

This video is by far my favorite relating to birth family. As a Latin American the whole topic of deportation is so heartbreaking because so many of our people go through it and end up losing their families because of it. I am extremely happy that the love this woman had for her kids was great enough for her to fight to see them even a decade later💞Hannah you are extremely blessed not only for the incredible family that took you in and keeps giving you unconditional love, but also for being able to reconnect to a completely different part of yourself. There were so many little details about this story that are very prominent of our culture like the whole body language, the machismo and domestic violence, even the bathing in the sink is something many latina moms do😂 I really hope you learn Spanish so that you can continue to bond with your birth family!! Sending lots of love to you and all of the crazy pieces🥰

Hannah you are such a bright, mature, and selfless person. You chose to soothe your mother’s conscious when she asked if you were ashamed. You are the child and she is the adult. Remember her guilt or shame is not your fault nor your responsibility. Lots of love and continue to shine your light 💕

Every time i meet people who make me lose faith in humanity....and then i watch crystal putting her 1000% for all of the kids...and even if they didn't even ask for it in the first place...my faith in humanity & kindness restores....i am happy i found this channel ❤️ the kids might have gone through a lot in their life...but at the end...they found this incredible parents so i guess it all happened for a greater good ❤️

Oh man the crazy pieces have me crying like a baby these past few days

Is it just me or is anyone else exited to see Savannah on a little family trip! I know she always has reasons not to go like school but I loved seeing her on this! She also looked so happy to be on it!

“It feels like I am meeting a stranger” that broke my heart 💔

I've been crying the whole way through. Hannahs biological mum seems very genuine and clearly feeling broken by Hannah and her sister not being in her life. Ultimately I really hope that you can process this Hannah and and honestly you are such a brave girl and more importantly even when you needed care and to be reassured... you gave away love and reassurance instead. Hats off to you little one. Mama crystal raised you so well

You're entitled to your feelings being a mother your love for any of your children you've to be cautious. The last thing you want is Hannah or any other child to be hurt more. I think letting Hannah process her feelings is absolutely beautiful. It has to be difficult for both biological and adopted families to understand each other. You're a special person to be able to see past the why and start with healing. Hannah, you are so strong to push through your feelings and listen to her story which is your story. Love watching you guys.

It must've taken alot for Hannah to see her mum again, especially after the horrific abuse she suffered as a child due to being put in Foster care.. It's lovely to see her moving forward and staying strong x

This story is so eye opening. There are so many little Hannah's out there. So many children left without parents due to Deportation. Nobody is perfect, but losing your kids is really paying the ultimate price. I hope Hannah that you get to know your birth mom and you can both heal from all the pain you both have lived through. I also hope that you always hold Crystal in your heart as your mom because she is, she is so selfless and loves you so much that she's willing to walk through all of this with you. Not all adoptive parents will dig through the baggage and find closure and healing for their kids. She is a true gem in this story, you are very blessed to have her as your mom. I wanted to add that when you said your birth mom said you were a naughty baby ---it was likely lost in translation. She likely meant you were getting into everything and had a curious nature. I hope you learn Spanish, you'll see that not everything translates perfectly into English.

You’ve hit your Quota for making me cry this week. ❤️🇯🇲

She is probably so so so thankful and in awe that you guys forgive and love her. Bless you ❤️❤️❤️

Crystal you are so amazing and so selfless. You are really very compassionate! You live out the quote, “ You can’t judge a person until you walk a mile in their shoes!” Hannah is so lucky to have you as one of her moms❣️

Yes they are really the best two adoptive parents. As I watched the video that is all I was saying to myself with tears in my eyes. God will richly bless you all for all you do for these kids.

Awww seeing Hannah cry in the car...got me all teary eyed. Crystal you are an amazing mum and the love for your children is so beautiful to see. Sending you guys lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤️

I’m here crying as per usual for so many reasons ... happiness initially .... but also just feeling Hannah’s emotions as well as Crystal’s while re telling the story. I endeavour to one day be as awesome of a foster/adoptive mom one day! Thank you for your family’s continual decision to be so open and vulnerable. I love you guys ❤️

Thousands of kids are being separated at the US/Mexican border and it angers me. My heart goes out to all these families who are missing their loved ones.

Crystal and Aaron are amazing parents and it’s moments like this that make me realize how loving they really are.

Having deep sympathy for her birth mom especially when thinking of Hannah's 1st adoptive family. I wish them peace and love!

Oh Hannah. You are such a wonderful girl. She gave you back some of your past. She will give you some of the missing pieces of you. It’s such a gift to have your wonderful mom now, and the one you found again. Such a blessing for all of you.

I am so happy that Hannah has finally met her biological mother and that she will be getting to know all her siblings too. you are such beautiful parents who are almost always open to all your adoptive children to meet their biological parents if possible. there are always questions that the children have and it is nice when they can eventually ask their biological parents .

I am happy for Hannah. I hope she take Spanish classes so she can communicate to her birth mom. That be wonderful thing.

And I love how supportive you are when it comes to having contact to the biological mom! For me, you’re really perfect!

My parents adopted 6 kids, now adults and I adopted as well and he’s an adult now, too. We have information on biologicals but neither of them are interested or open to knowing anything let alone meeting. I love this, so happy for Hannah!

This is so sweet to hear, it's like Hannah found out that she had a childhood for the first time. I feel like people grow up hearing stories of when we were tiny and it feels like we remember that moment even though they are just stories. Now Hannah can start to imagine those memories! So happy for her

When Crystal started getting emotional I did too😭 that's great that Hannah got to hear the full story❤

So proud of Hannah for being so strong. Everything about her past has helped turn her into the amazing person she is today. Sending love and prayers ❤️

I cannot imagine what it must feel like to experience foster care and adoption. I am so thankful that there are individuals such as Crystal and Aaron who take in children from all different backgrounds and provide them with a good home life.

Meeting the biological family and specially the mom, its the best thing ever. As I experience, I was adopted since I was 3 months old and met my biological mom after 28 yrs later its the best thing that ever happen to me. We are totally different but the love is more than anything. Hello from Costa Rica! Love you guys!!

This must have been so overwhelming but also so healing for Hannah. I am glad she got to have some questions answered and that her mom was hopefully able to find peace within herself. And an important take away is even with a language barrier, love is universal.

Hannah, what you said makes perfect sense- we take for granted hearing about the little moments, the pictures, the sentimental toys or blankets we’ve had from childhood. Just being able to know who you were, what you got into as a child adds chapters that were previously left blank in your book of life. So happy for you to now hold that knowledge. 💕

Crystal you wouldn't be Hanna's mother if you didn't have that feeling, its hard from both sides. Just remember you're amazing all off you xx

I've learned more about parenting with your videos than I have my entire life. When you grow up with parents that show conditional love you don't fully understand the damage that that causes to you and its hard to change for your own children. Seeing the unconditional love and support your show all your children through your videos these last few months ive been following has been eye opening and I'm slowly learning how to stop the cycle and give this unconditional love to my own children. Grateful forever that there are human beings as open and loving as you and your family ❤❤❤❤

Well this video takes priority over everything else right now

Open up my heart and you'll find love.....what a wonderful story....we are so happy for Hannah and her mom. Can't imagine the guilt her bio mom had been carrying all these years... Hannah's heart is so big it is designed to accommodate more people to love :)

Hi, I'm a certified medical Interpreter, Spanish-english, i can help anytime Hannah wants to have a meeting with her mom!!

I’m so happy that Hannah could get these answers, comfort and reassurance out of this meeting. I love this for Hannah. It seems like her mom went through so much and it just feels good to know as a viewer that her mom had no option. She did everything she could to keep Hannah and her sister but life just kept throwing her curveballs and eventually she was just too behind to catch them. It’s upsetting they deported her knowing she was trying to escape a abusive relationship and had a court date to get her children back but everything happens for a reason. I know she’ll be grateful for the opportunity she has now considering the sacrifices she had to make to even see Hannah again. This might be the most beautiful story out of them all.

Idk if it’s just me but these type of videos always have me crying!! 🥺💞💞

Wow, you can literally see Hannah’s Bio moms hand shake as she was putting her purse down when she saw Hannah. I can’t imagine all the emotions she must have been feeling. So happy this happened for Hannah, it was obvious (in past videos as well) that she wasn’t exactly excited to meet Bio Mom, but it’s absolutely beautiful to see how the meeting changed things for her.

How strong Hannah and Crystal are! Crystal and Aaron are such wonderful parents and really good people. Their children are so blessed to have them! Can’t begin to list all the amazing things they have given their children that aren’t “things”. Hannah, you handled this reunion with such grace and an open heart and mind even though you have every right to be angry. You have given your birth mother such a gift!!! Believe it or not, she needs you more than you need her. Sending you a big hug!

This breaks my heart to see how much this situation was out of her mother's control yet how much she wanted to fight for Hannah and never stopped thinking of her

I cried so much , I can tell even with a small part of the story that her bio mother felt so guilty for losing her kids. Hannah's story represents so many other similar cases of kids in foster care where kids were taken and parents were deported; I'm glad you have had this meeting and it might give you closure and makes it easier for you to heal from previous experiences. Lots of love to you and your family 💘 you are a strong young women

At the 20 minute mark. This little flicker of memories that her mom held onto are precious.

I started watching the Crazy families because my nephew lost custody of his 3 children (4, 2 and 1 yr old). Without writing my family's entire story- I started researching the entire subject of foster care and adoption- which is how I discovered your videos. The Crazy families have taught me so much and gave me perspective into how things might be for my nephew's children. You guys sharing experiences like this helped me cope and deal with the loss of those children in my family. I've learned how to process it and be grateful to the family who adopted them. Love you guys! Big hugs to Haha.

A message to Crystal and Aaron. What amazing parents you are, you truly are one of a kind, to give your children the opportunity to do this, take a step back and to go through this with your kids is so special. Props to you ❤️

I feel so bad for the birth mom can't even think about how hard it is to loose your kids and wonder for years if there doing alright must have been a relief to see her daughter is safe and grew up to be a beautiful, bright young girl., but im also glad Hannah was adopted and given the best chance at life to reach her dreams.

It is amazing how giving and kind your entire family is. Not only are you giving new lives to all these beautiful children but are also open to them having relationships with their birth parents. The world needs more such people. Thank you for sharing this story!

As an adopted child I always hated when someone referred to the woman who had me as my "mom" or my "real mom" bc my mom was and always will be my adoptive mom. However I LOVE how open y'all are with both biological/adoptive family. It's like having an extended family, nobody replaces nobody. You just create new bonds ❤️❤️ I'm learning so much from you, thank you ❤️

Wow tears, it’s sad how often deportation separates families 💔🥺 I am so happy Hannah had a chance to meet her birth mom!

I'm so happy that Hannah was able to get some questions answered and that they'll keep in touch. I love that Aaron and Crystal encourage their's kids to have a relationship with their bio family and I loved that Hannah said that she wants to take Spanish classes so that she could have a real conversation with her bio mom. I love you all 💗

Gosh, I can’t stop crying. I’m so happy for Hannah that she got to meet her mom and felt love from her.

I think it takes more love to put your child up for adoption than to just keep them in a toxic situation. But the system is what ultimately fails these kids. She seems like a good person. Just hits some major road blocks. I pray they continue a relationship.

So wonderful you let them see their birth family and so wonderful you let them into your home and love them like they are yours.

I love that she knows how much her kids love her that she doesn’t feel threatened by the relationship with the bio parents. It’s beautiful!

Sending so much love and hugs to Hannah. I'm very happy she got to meet her mom. Thank you Crystal and Aaron for allowing your children to have these choices to reconnect with her birth family. God bless 🥰🙏

i got chills 🥺🥺 so happy for hannah! 🤍

So overwhelming,I cried ,I was a foster child I believe from the time I was 3,it took me a very long time to forgive but maybe it’s because I didn’t really have the love that Crystal and Aaron give their children,You guys are amazing parents,thank you for being such a comfort to these kids,God Bless

I started tearing up at the end when they were talking about the experience went. I’m so glad that Hannah got the chance to have this opportunity and find out where she comes from and some of the answers she was looking for. 🥰

I'm so happy for you Hannah... I love you Crystal and Aaron for giving your kids the opportunity for them tonsee their families. And crystal your not judgemental your in full mama mode. I'm a single mother of a 10 year old daughter... your an amazing mom for Hannah but now she knows her sister and her history and have some closure.

I’m so happy Hannah that you are finally getting to reunite and connect with your bio family. I know how hard and over whelming it can be but I’m so proud of the young lady you have become , you are so beautiful inside and out !!

Crystal and Aaron are just the best parents in the entire world. Giving their kids a chance to have some closure and get to know their cultures and family members is a gift beyond measure, you not only gave them a beautiful home to live and grow up in as well as an amazing family filled with love for each other but you gave them the gift of forgiveness with their birth families and open doors for more love. That’s how you know these two have the utmost unconditional love for their kids and I admire that I really do. Crystal was so emotional knowing her daughter was happy and was able to bring peace to her thoughts.

There's that saying that goes like " Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always " and I think it definitely applies to Hannah's mom situation and how you guys view on thing changed while meeting her. But I'm really happy to know that Hannah was able to get answers to her questions and that everything went well. I find it amazing how love can be expressed in so many ways. Oh and congrats to Natacha for the baby !!

Thank you for sharing your story Hannah. My younger sister and I were placed into foster care separably and adopted into two different families. We meet for the first time in high school, but didn't form a true relationship until we were both adults. Now I get to be an aunt to her son. Most people don't understand our relationship, your channel has helped me find language to explain it to other people. Thank you all for sharing your lives with us. ❤️

Sounds like Hannah was able to get some closure and figure out why her foster care journey started. So glad it went well.

It's so fascinating how much we can learn from people we don't even know and how connected can we feel. This channel is just love, pure love in all its forms. All of you deserve the best in your lives.
