Please Dont Forget to Rate & Comment it helps get the videos Noticed by those that may need them most.

Over the time we have been making our videos we have recieved many questions about how and why we adopted. To date, we have not directly answered these. This was because we really wanted to tell the story as a whole..not in pieces, and because we want to do the topic justice. This will still have to be a multi part story…but at least it will have the benefit of context.

If you havent watched parts 1, 2 & 3 please watch first.

Question #4 By MRDAHOFF: Do Selena & Daniel Have Contact With Their Biological Mother?

This part of the story addresses the conversations we had with each other about having kids, what we were willing to take on, and how to go about doing it.

Call IAN JOSEPHS
This is the Gentleman who can help you for free, if you’re facing a forced adoption in the UK (his website has been “live” for 4 years).
HELPLINE Telephone = 00 33 626 87 56 84
His email = ian@monaco.mc
Website = http://www.forced-adoption.com

For goodness sake, reach out for help, this is too big and too important not to have everyone on side. Together we can do this!

The British government gives millions to local authorities who adopt the most children. A Bonus.

Parents are having children “adopted” for financial reasons. This is unethical and immoral – it amounts to selling children.

Music is Kelly Clarkson – Low.

If you’re affected – here’s GENUINE backup. Your children are WORTH it. Contact – IAN JOSEPHS, contact your MP.

This is the touching story and counsel about adoption from Tamra, a birth mother. Please watch it and share it with others to understand the perspectives, peace and joy that can come from adoption.

If You Are Pregnant…

Its not uncommon to feel that your only options are abortion or raising your child on your own. There are other options; and the decision is yours.

No one else will live daily with your decision, which is why no one else can make this decision for you.

The best thing you can do for you and your future child is to educate yourself about your options and feel confident that you have found the solution that is right for you.
