Hi

Whose Bethany? Your name is Whitney! Last I knew, you dont talk about what or if your children receive services. 🤔 I think they missed the point of your channel. I think Darcy is the cutest! I dont know that I've heard Sawyer talk. In any case your a great mom and YOU know whats best for your family

Agree! I'm a huge advocate for therapy!! My partner & I each have our own therapist & have one we see as a couple. Highly recommend, especially for foster families.

Darcy's gotten so big!!!!

Get a therapist and stick with one.

Do you have an email for the travel agent?

Thank you for taking her in. We took in one of my high school students for six months during her family crisis and it was more expensive than I was expecting. She was 17 and I really wanted her to be able to get her high school diploma. You’re doing a good thing. I have four kids, ages 20 - 30 and they still require help and support. Kicking kids out at 18 because it’s some magical ‘adult’ age is one of the myriad of stupid things we do to them.

At my old school u have 15 min to eat and 15 go outside to play if theres a fight we got 30 min in total so some people went hungry

These are so beautiful!

Hey! Im not great at keep up with UA-cam… did your family structure change outside of allowing this past foster child to stay with you?

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I have some really important questions if you could show me the best platform to get a phone call. I adopted a child through fostercare...

I understand you've taken in an adult, prior-foster-child, to live with you for a time. I get that you are emphasizing both they are an adult and (in another video/clip) they are still just 18. They still need help, guidance and support.

I personally don't like you! You are very rude! You replied to me be the village, and were very rude! I don't like you!

I have only had long placements and respite. I can say we are fully into a routine but reunification will be very hard after 2 years…. For everyone including extended family. Those emotions on top of my and of course most important… the child can be a lot to manage.

when i was in primary (elementary) school, our lunch was from 1:00-1:40. BUT! they always gave us an extra 10 minutes to eat at 12:50 so we could have that play time and not have to rush and stuff our faces full.

I'd ask for them for their credentials.

Between 18-21 young adults need to be transitioned to independence. A lot of parents in the US fail at this, because they are not able to transition to living with young adults. The rules of the home become the parents personal boundaries. I need to go to bed at midnight, and for my peace of mind, I need to know everyone is in and the doors are locked, so please be home by midnight. I don’t want to waste food, so please let me know if you are eating with me or with friends, so I don’t have to eat the same leftovers for a week. I will do your laundry for you today if you bring it to the laundry room, or you can do it yourself on Thursday after I finish my loads… With children we control their scheduled, with young adults they control their schedules within the boundaries of people they are responsible to - parents, employers, teachers, administrators, etc. The keys are respect and responsibility- if you don’t give them either, they are going to learn adulting the hard way.

I personally know 2 very successful adult women who don't pronounce their r's the "right" way. It hasn't held them back in life.

This makes perfect sense to me I’m now a grandfather but we had 3 sons 2 of whom were twins

I love working with teens, even ones coming out of tough situations like homelessness. -Sometimes there are issues with anger, drugs, or behaviour, but if you gain a teen's trust, you have their whole heart. They have great taste in music, always say yes to a lazy night in with pizza. Teens are a source of absolute joy and pride to foster, because their wins are so very, very hard-won.

I was in foster care from 11 months old until 3 1/2 when my adoption was finalized one thing I do know is life has been a struggle as I came from a traumatic childhood so needing parents who were trauma informed was essential however I didn’t have that now I’m 27 in extensive trauma therapy trying to deal with traumas I don’t even remember so please if you are foster/adopting get trauma informed before getting your first placement. If you already have a placement talk to your county about trauma informed parenting training!

You're not allowed to show visuals of foster children. So you're lying or an ignorant fool

Isn't it odd that we have much more mental health care today and the most mental illness in history? Contrast that to all other health care where treatment leads to a decline of disease.

Open and honest about your mistakes and willingness to learn and grow means you are absolutely the "gold standard" of a foster family. ❤

So me personally if I ever foster I will not do teens because I had a hard time with teens. Trying it out but then to be able to say you know what ages you want to limit to. Some foster parents can do teens and do well implemented structure and gaining respect.

My biggest thing I tell people because I worked for cps and then foster care is know that these children have behaviors 90 percent of the time because they have not had a normal childhood or structure so to know teens may be harder because of that but to know your limits .

I love inside out 2 and I have anxiety and I love it 🥰

Omg Darcy is so big

Ummm....this bonkers entitled Karen couldnt even get your name right? Wow.

Does this person think your name is BeTh e Village? 🤦

You are this child's mother now. Or mother figure or second mom however you look at it it's still a mom figure. And it's very hard out in the world without parental figures I've been there a few times without support and it's so difficult. Now thankfully I have God so I'm not worried. But some people don't even have God or don't trust him so to have a person in this world and a connection that you can trust is incredibly helpful especially for a vulnerable child and yes they are still a child at 18 they're just not mature enough especially not in our society.

Okay that is mean. And how do they know you are completely ignoring something.

Who’s Bethany😂

But your name isn't Bethany 🤣 it's Whitney ! That's the tragedy here . Smh . She tried so hard to hurt you , but just ended up looking like a moron

Fantastic editing!

As someone who was in speech therapy for YEARS for my r/w sounds.. i still as a grown adult cant say them right and avoid words altogether. Its also a big assumption that you arent doing anything about it

Its bold to assume you are not doing anything about it but it definitely is more than possible that it will stick with them through their lives if not addressed. Not really "viewers" business though..

It's a channel about foster care not a channel about your children. Not talking about something is not the same as not doing anything about it. I will never understand people like this.

My family loved this one too! It made me tear up three times 😂 Sidenote- You are GLOWING! 💜

whitney's a hot mama with that hair cut! hope u enjoy! looking beautiful!

Wait… who the hell is Bethany ?

Thank you for talking about an important topic. I appreciate you saying you aren't always consistent with therapy; I could say the same for me.

Takes several times to find the rightvtherapist

Bethany, why do you refuse to and completely ignore your children’s very apparent detrimental speech impediment?? You are doing such a disservice to these poor, beautiful children and it’s going to follow them for all of their lives. They cannot go through life not knowing how to pronounce an R properly, it’s just shameful. They are both way way too old to be speaking this way. Tragic!

If the 18 year old is not able to support themselves, then they can go on SSI. No?

I loved the first Inside Out movie and I'm looking forward to seeing the new one. My sons are adults now, but I think the first movie helped kids to articulate what it is they're feeling - and it sounds like this one gives them more opportunities to express what it is they're feeling.

I love this movie too! My 9 year old is autistic and has extreme anxiety. This movie was a great way to visually see how anxiety does have a place in our lives and is a healthy emotion but we can’t let it overtake our joy or change our authentic selves. It pairs perfectly with things children learn in therapy.

Miss A?

I walked away from my phone, while UA-cam was playing for about 15 seconds, and came back to this video. I’m watching it.
