That’s what I like about the Crazy Middles and Crazy Pieces. They adopted siblings groups to try and keep the kids together. It’s hard enough to go into the foster system, but even harder when they get split up! ♥️
Hi girls.. 👋 👋 That was really a sweet video, Bless you girls and your brother Cody. I am so thankful you were placed with such loving parents Jared and Shelly. You brought them joy as they did you.
Thank you, Lacey and Lizzy for sharing your visit to your biological dad. But also for filling us in about your healing process and the important role and affection of your (adoptive)parents. I'm impressed with Lizzy's driving skills! You both confronted so many fears, I applaud you. Respect also for reconnecting with your bio dad. Have a great summer, enjoy your family and take good care.♡
My son and I were in a bad living situation and when he was 8 yrs old we finally got out. He is doing well for himself and has what he wants. I’ve always told him to never forget where he comes from. He says he thinks of that often and it keeps him humble and appreciative ❤️
Love you guys! I wish you the absolute best In this new chapter, I know this can’t be easy at all but know you are so much stronger then you give yourself credit for!
Girl thank you for posting this, there's alot of children with parents incarcerated & with BAD BAD feelings & animosity toward them. Thank you for keeping it real 💯 & showing people maturity brings growth & ADULTING ✌🏼 & moving on you're truly healing. & thriving 😜 Thanks, from someone who's raising a niece who's fathers in prison... JUST THANKS 🙏🏻💜🤷🏼♀️
Thank you for bringing us along!! You guys are so brave and I know healing is a journey and I'm with you guys! Thanks for being vulnerable to share this as it's always hard.
Healing your generational trauma through your biological bonds and your loving crazy big family is one of the reasons I have fallen in love with the middles and you ladies and your stories and been invested for years. It's healing for many others as well even though it's emotional. You have to feel it to heal it! ❤
I am so glad ya'll are in a place (both mentally and physically) where you feel ready to talk about and share these stories! I am also glad that you don't feel that you HAVE TO pick up the camera and film when you don't feel like it/need to take time for yourself. As a woman who has been emotional her whole life, I appreciate that you take others into consideration (as you put it when talking about Lizzy, you don't want to "shove a camera in her face" 🤣🥰). God Bless you sweet ladies and your beautiful family! 💗
I loved your video it was nice seeing you together again . Seeing your dad is probably difficult to go through. My mother walked out when I was 13 and took my 16 year old sister with her and left me . I had my dad he was a great dad . It's a miracle I didn't go through the foster care system. My dad was given some custody of me and custodial custody of my sister.So I didn't have to see my mom . That was in 1964 and in most cases the father didn't get custody of daughters. Prayers and Love 💞 From Oklahoma
Hey Lacey, I love when I see your siblings or any of your cousins because I love seeing the bonding moments. I can't wait to see more videos as you make them! I bet that you and Lizzy were glad to have some sister time and get to see your biological dad for a visit before Lizzy went back home! ❤❤❤
3 years ago I went back to the home I spent the first seven years of my life in. It was old and dilapidated. I was adopted when I was 15 and I am now 54. I went there as a way to reclaim that abused and hurt little girl. I loved this video.
So incredibly brave to face what you left behind and to appreciate what was, to accept your bio dad, it must be so heart wrenching really. You 3 have become amazing, incredible adults whom I absolutely adore from across the oceans, always love your vlogs Lacey ❤️🇿🇦❤️
Hello Lacey and Lizzy❤❤These are very personal moments, understandable❤❤I am glad for all of you, and Jared and Shelly❤❤ Enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing❤❤
Lacey I love how even though you feel uncomfortable filming some subject you do it anyways and take the time to reflect on why you filmed it and how you felt after the situation was over! I really miss seeing Lizzy in more of any of the family vlogs! Seems like the both of you have found a good rhythm in this stage of life! Thanks for sharing your experiences, strengths and hope with us.
It takes lots of courage to go see your bilo father and I'm sure that it would be hard for Cody to go see him and maybe some bad memories for him. I'm not sure. But by you and Lizzy going to see him is helping him out more than you know even know. I'm so sorry for what ever happened to you Cody and Lizzy when you guys where younger. But look at how far you all have come over the years also. I just wished I would of saw my father when lived not that far from him.
If you look at the shovel you will find Gary Sipe for the men who worked on the shovel. I have been there a couple of times. Me brother works at the mine.😊
I think you two are so strong to go visit your dad even though it was thanks to him you ended up with your abusive grandmother. You are so mature and wise to not record the moment you step out from the visit. All the best to you and Lizzie. And Cody. :)
I love when Lizzy comes to town and hops in a video here or on crazy middles glad you and her make these trips to see your dad keep up the top tier content
I can 100% relate to saying "they are dead" point blank. My babysitter through elementary school died right around my 22nd birthday. I have so much trauma from there and the boys that she watched as well. I went to the funeral for some healing/closure and left with a giant smile. I was not disrespectful to her family and those that were grieving but to me she has not just passed. She is dead and in some messed up way, that gives me peace.
Lacey, you, Cody and Lizzie are both so well adjusted, despite everything you’ve been through. I love that you and Lizzie have such a close bond. You are a credit to yourselves and Jared and Shelley. Having had some childhood trauma myself, I know how tough it is moving through the past experiences and processing it all, to allow healing and closure. Sending comfort and support to you both (and Cody). You all turned out to be incredibly resilient, funny and kind individuals. Jen, 🇬🇧
I love y’all!! I’m glad y’all got some healing from your past. I’m still working on mine it’s a journey hey life is a journey just waiting to get to our destination(Heaven). Hey quick question why doesn’t Cody go with you guys? I was just wondering.. love you guys again!!!
I know you are grateful for your adoptive parents but they are thankful for you guys. They gave you love but you had to make a choice to love them back. I pray you continue to heal, especially since you have kept your bio-dad in your life. Sray strong 😊
I'm grateful for Jared and Shelly because now we have the blessing of having you all in our family! Love you both! Also, I just recently visited my old elementary school and it was soooo healing. Super crazy as I had always remembered certain parts of elementary school but wasn't sure if I was recalling it right but seeing it felt like a dream come to life. Super cool though. I remember the day we met you guys! 🥲 ♥️ Heal on loves! ❤
I totally respect you for this vlog. I also totally get the need to visit childhood homes for closure esp when trauma is involved. Ive done the same visiting where i lived before going into care, my 2 kids homes and the high school i went to in foster care where i was bullied the whole entire 5 yrs i was there. It really helped the healing process and gave me closure.
Well, hello beautiful Lacey and hi there sister Lizzie, who I’m just getting to know I’m so happy you’re going to see your biological dad again Lacey I know you’re so excited and I know Lizzy is as well and I know your dad is gonna be so excited to see you both drive careful Lizzy ❤
Are you in your own apartment now? The area where you were standing at the end of the video looks cute, but it doesn't look like Melinda's house! I love seeing you and Lizzy together! 💞
Lizzy Machiotto's are usually a Vanilla base in your drink - but when you say Inside out means Caramel Inside. Bestest Drink Adjustment 🥰 Glad you girls made time for eachother ...😮
Question for you? I know the second time that I seen. You guys go visit him. So why do Cody don't go? Is there's a bring up 2 member much of a memory? Or does he have a different dad this asking love y'all
Great video. With yall living so close when u went to foster care was there a worry your bio family would find you? Did yall still attend the same school?
Whoa that’s interesting knowing u only moved a couple of blocks to your forever home. The reason the the park looks different is because u 2 r older now. Thank u for sharing & I know u r making your bio dad happy by giving him some of your time. Wonder if your brother will ever go???❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Lacey, I love your videos and how sweet and open you are. But I was wondering if you had already posted about your bio mom or if you could share your story concerning her ?
i’ve talked about her only a little. honestly i don’t know her. she abandoned us at a really young age g age, that’s why we visit with our dad. he raised us!! thank you for asking🩷
you have the seat belt in the lower position, raise it up, the closer the neck it sits the safer it is, if you have it too low then the risk is that it slides off your shoulder during an accident, and then it can hurt you instead
