Shocked about the divorce to separate than put the boys through any more trauma. They mean well, and only want what is best for the boys, and thier own sanity. I can only imagine the stress Eddy and Benny were under with the addition of these 5 handsome young men. We all don't live in a fantasy land where everything and everyone is PERFECT. As long as these boys feel Eddy and Benny can continue to love them, it is what it is.

Shocking to see how relationships can breakdown, it’s sad he convince his wife to adopt these boys. There are any perfect life however, I’m very proud that the adoptive mother keeps the boys and don’t resented the innocent boys, thank God she stick around with those boys knowing what they have gone through in the beginning of their life. You show the strength of a mother.

She was and is a gift from God. These boys will never forget their mother.

Great to have a catch up. Sad regarding the divorce but these things happen and it appears they have all moved on from it

I was shocked. I had seen the love and support aspect of Benny and Eddy's relationship and found it so heartening, so much an aspect of what they chose to do for these five brothers. To hear that they divorced truly shocked me. But the love and care for the boys goes on, in spite of ups and downs.

I hope we're going to get a part 3!

WHAT!? Divorce?? Oh, no! I really was hoping that this generous, loving couple would have gone the distance with all they had done together. 😢 Glad to see the children are well, however, and that Xavier has matured both emotionally and mentally and is at peace with everything 🥰🥰 All the boys look so healthy and happy. It really makes my heart rejoice. May Jehovah be with them; I pray for his Kingdom so that no one should have to go through such tragedies.🥰🙏🏿

We need to be thankful Dad initiated and cared so deeply for the boys. It was very touching and although now divorced i have much respect for both. There are imperfections in all of us. God bless.

How can you be so proud of people that you’ll never meet ?? Somehow. I am !!! Thank you for this fierce Mom !!!

[mybackyardfarm..]

Oh no I’m heart broken. She never gave up on them and she protected them.

[l.janecliftonrozell]

I was very shocked to see that they were divorced but I’m glad that they come together and they are such a wonderful family and how they keep their birth mother in their hearts addiction is a sickness God bless all them children and the mother and father ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This story of the boys moved me. What love they now have that was missing before. Drugs are so destructive, and these boys are the lucky ones. And they are such good boys. What a tribute to all involved!

[BFRIZZLE]

Those kids are so down to earth, great young guys.

This was so wonderful to watch, especially after having been so marked by the first video two years ago. These boys are SO special. It is so clear that they will each go on to very special things with their lives.

I was very impressed with Xavier. He is incredibly mature, and I really felt he is striving to do the most he can with his life and not repeat the same mistakes that he saw in his childhood. While it is easy to fall into a generational cycle of trauma and abuse, I can tell he will not only go on to be a very loving father, but he will also go on to help others and use the hardships of his life to help and inspire others. Xavier is a very intelligent young man - l look forward to hopefully seeing what comes next in his life! Aidan and Ethan also struck me as being really incredible people - particularly through their kindness, work ethic, maturity. Peyton and Logan are absolutely adorable and wise beyond their years. What an incredible family - the love and care between the brothers is so special. And, of course, Benny is doing a wonderful job. She is definitely paving the way for people across the world to look into adopting - including myself!

As a Muslim, it is really inspiring to see fellow Christians doing such good in the world. May God bless you, and always watch over your family. I pray that these five wonderful boys go on to lead happy and fulfilling lives ahead, and use the hardships from their past to shape them for the better and propel them ahead. And thank you to Embrella for taking time to put this content out. Lots of love from the UK!

What a wonderful family! Sorry about divorce but it’s understandable. Different parenting styles. I think it’s wonderful that the eldest is able to forgive his biological mum. Shows how sensitive he is. You have done a wonderful thing opening your heart and home to such loving children.

I've been longing for a happy second part of these boys and the lovely adoptive parents. The divorce part shocked me a lot however if it was the best way to resolve any issue then so be it. These boys are still so lucky for having you as their mom. Please continue to guide and protect them i pray that God will show them the way to the family's happier future. To the boys, please do not take sides. Love your mom and dad no matter what happens. I am sure the father is still good to them. God bless you all

[gruzincklebell]

Awww, so sorry things turned out this way, but you are doing a wonderful job with the boys. God will raise you up, and lead you were you guys need to go as a family. God bless you, many, many blessings.

[GetItTogether]

Oh no… the divorce! 🥴 I’m
glad the dad stayed close by so the boys can still see him on the weekends.

I am happy for the boys, their mother and grandmother living all together in the same house. You are a beautiful family. God bless you all.

[barbararaizen]

I am amazed how mom harnesses so many resources for so many years. I hope the Holy Spirit will fill your family with joy, peace, love, strength, endurance, and the willingness to reach out to others in the same needs, whether psychological, physical, basic needs or emotional. Praying 🙏🏽
