You did the bravest thing in putting that little girl first! You put her first and she’s in a home that’s more suited to her. Amazing people xxx

[maccifyme]

The fact that you never mentioned having her in your home for so long, shows you're doing it absolutely right! And you did put her needs first, which is the most important thing for any parent, especially foster parents!
I'm so happy to hear she was able to still keep in contact with her sister. I'm sure it means a lot to them both!

[Mysticsoul]

As a former foster child, Thank You for being amazing to them.

[hannab]

this just proves that an adoptive parents heart is so big. i commend you guys for opening your home to that little girl, im sure she knew you loved her.

[raegancal]

I’m a social worker and I totally get it about some being desensitized. Well done for putting the child first with what they need as heart breaking as it was for everyone

Obviously I'm not an adoptive parent, but I am a single mum of 2 teen boys. I appreciate you have to adhere to various rules/regs when adopting, but the fact you kept this quiet, and didn't tell viewers you had a new child, speaks volumes. It shows the upmost respect for her, and clearly shows you had her best interests at heart. You guys are awesome, and you're right, your family IS awesome too. But sometimes children need a different enviroment to thrive, learn, grow, settle and come to terms with their past trauma. Just because your home wasn't suitable for her, for 1 reason or another, doesn't mean you failed, didn't love her or tried. Even though it sounds like she struggled within a bigger family, I still imagine her having the best 6mths of her life, probably more love and attention she's had for a long time. You guys are awesome, and all the kids are thriving and happy. You are quite evidently doing things right !! sadly through NO fault of your own, I guess quite often you'll get a child, who has needs a little different to others. That's ok, it's NO reflection on you, or your family. At least you tried, you showed her love, security, attention, fun, family life, and a "normal" way of living. I hope she settles with the new lady, and you can keep in contact. Even though it didn't work out, I'm sure Evie's sister appreciates, and is grateful, for her time with you all xxxx Sending love from across the pond, in the UK.
***Sorry for essay, I just really feel for you, and wanted to explain & tell you, you are awesome.

3 of my beautiful grandbabies are currently in foster care. I am HONORED to be able to see them and keep in contact with them, thanks to two AMAZING foster families much like you!! THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING GOD'S GUIDANCE IN LOVING ALL THE CHILDREN YOU'VE HELPED!!! I don't even want to think about where my littles, or yours, would be without wonderful foster/adoptive families!!!

[pameladick]

As a former foster, I just want to thank you for being honest. The truth is there is good and bad with being a foster parent but the good outweighs the bad by far. I wish more foster agencies would lay the truth out in the beginning so that foster parents don't go into opening their hearts and homes with the idea that everything is good and easy. Sorry to hear about the last placement as we had 3 failed adoptions with the same child. Time heals all wounds

❤ Putting a child's best interest before your own is the definition of parent. I love that y'all are upfront about that! Hugs

[bethgroene]

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes listening to your story about Evie's sister. I worked as a Social Worker/Supervisor for a private foster care agency for 13 years. I truly believe foster parents are super hero's for a plethora of reasons. While the "super hero" is not always visible by the foster parents or children, it's there. The decision you two made, along with your family, is an example of your "super hero" ability; to truly see what is best for a child. Shelly & Jared, I watch each vlog and see your "super hero's" in action every day. I admire the family you two have created ♥

[dalensandi]

Such a selfless act of kindness to let her go. ❤ I pray all of your hearts will be healed. 😊

[nancyallen]

You’re to be commended for keeping the child’s best interest uppermost. I pray Evie will get together with her often, so they can grow up really knowing each other through all phases of life. Goe bless you all.

[elizabethcowie]

I'm sorry that her placement didn't work out the way you hoped, I am so glad to hear that she's being placed with a wonderful woman who will be able to support her.

[tonyac]

The fact that it breaks your heart that you had to let her go and that you did it because it was in her best interest proves that not only you but your children have learned so much from you that they supported and saw the same things you did. Amazing story for your family and this little girl who will hopefully be able to heal and become part of her sister's life and in turn your entire family. What a story of love and hope and sacrifice.

[janetgray]

Jared and Shelley, you are amazing foster parents from what I see on your channel. It takes a very special person to be a foster parent. To hear your secret today, truly showed what an amazing people you are. You put that foster child wants and needs above your own. I pray that she is happy where she is getting all the love and care she needs. You are wonderful people who have a lot to give your family. Thank you for being such fantastic people.

[leonduplessis]

I think the two of you are such incredible people! It has been a joy to have discovered your family through Crazy Pieces which I discovered first, and I just think that your families are so warm and loving which is what most foster kids need before they can trust again after all the hurts they experienced.

Shelly & Jared,
You both have become one of my favorite large YouTube families to watch out there! You both have the most sincere loving and caring heart any set of parents can have! With a family of your size, and all these years of watching you, I have never seen any favoritism with any of the kids, every child is loved, cared for, and treated the same way! I am a huge fan of all your videos, Kylie's videos and Bishops! You all have been such a blessing in all your children's lives, as they have been in yours! You all have touched my heart and I thank you for giving me the happiness, in watching your channels! Too many terrible things going on in the world right now, and just looking forward in watching your videos, gives me a chance to focus on something else more happy and heartfelt for a change!!! THANK YOU "CRAZY MIDDLES" for bringing joy from your home to mine!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Bishop... Love you, your family and your fantastic filming for this lovely family!!! Keep Up the great job and Bless You All Immensely ❤
P.S. Kylie & Marc another one of my favorite YouTube Couples! ❤

You guys are awesome even when the tough gets really tough. You answered my question which was, "Are your licenses still open?" You are a very blessed family and you have helped so many children. If you never adopt another child, look at the difference you have made in all your children's lives. I am so sorry it did not work out with Evie's sister.

[lesliesheppard]

We can’t be everything to everyone. Putting their needs above your own wants is always the most important thing.

[MelanieWestCoastNewZealand]

You guys have done the most amazing thing for Evies sister. You brought her in and loved her and gave her the opportunity and experience of your family, realising that it was not the right fit for her, although hard for everyone is something that could've ended badly for her. You looking after her wellbeing is the best gift you could ever provide for her or any loved one. As a family you will all understand and respect each others past and experiences and realise not every one is the same. Although painful know that this experience mattered. You made a difference, you stood up and surrounded her with love and positive experiences. You have blessed many children, let your hearts heal knowing you have done what iis right for her but you were willing to allow her in the family if it had been right for her.
