All Amazing Babies

This incredible story happened in Colorado.

One day, Miss Page adopted a boy, and a year later a girl, she could not even think that these children would turn out to be siblings.

After she divorced her husband, she decided to change her life radically. She changed her place of residence, her job, and her environment. She met up with the church and started working as a caretaker at a center for abandoned children.

At first, it was a very depressing job, and it was hard for her. But gradually she got involved and loved the process. Soon after, the woman realized that she wanted to adopt a baby from this center. He was 4 days old. His mother abandoned him, during pregnancy she was very fond of drugs. Fortunately, this did not affect the health of the baby.

Miss Page took custody of the boy. She gave him the name Grayson while all the social services were looking for his real parents. The search was unsuccessful and the woman was handed documents for adoption. So, Grayson became her son officially.

But that’s not the end of the story. A few days later, the woman received a call and was asked to pick up another baby from the center. Her woman gave birth in the same hospital. The woman felt that she had to take this child for herself.

Miss Page finally met the baby. And the most amazing thing is that on the small hand was attached a bracelet with the same name of the parent as Grayson.

The woman found the address of Hannah’s biological mother (the girl was named that way) and met with her. She said that she does not know anything about her son and she is expecting a third child.

Katie Page reported this to her supervisor, who conducted several checks and confirmed that the boy and the girl are relatives.

Well, that’s not the end of the story.

After all, soon the wayward mother abandoned the third child. And Katie Page is already applying for custody.

Some people seem to have been born to love and nurture others! Mom Ali Retelle recently welcomed a new baby girl to their family, and when her toddler son met her, it was definitely love at first sight! Thankfully for us, Ali captured the adorable first meeting on camera.

In a video, we see the little boy holding his new sister in his arms as he gazes into her tiny face. Without seeming to notice, he begins to weep, silently wiping the tears away with his arm without ever looking away from the infant. His parents tell him he can talk to her, but she won’t talk back, and he seems delighted to know she can actually hear him. Veteran older siblings will warn him to enjoy these days before she learns to talk, but that’s not important right now.

This little boy clearly has a heart of gold! Check out the video below to see why we think he’ll be an excellent big brother, and don’t forget to share.

Amber and Levi always wanted a family together, so when they had two beautiful daughters, they were more than overjoyed.

But just when they thought their family was complete, everything changed.

Amber found out that she was pregnant again, but that wasn’t the most surprising news delivered by the doctors.

They were going to have triplets!

Without the use of fertility drugs or any other type of fertility treatments, the chances of having triplets are very low to begin with. So, while they were definitely surprised by the news, both Amber and Levi were thrilled to welcome three adorable babies into the family.

Weeks went by, and the day finally came. Amber was admitted to the hospital to deliver the babies.
Even though they were lighter than normal, each weighing four pounds, the triplet girls came out in a healthy condition via cesarean section.

In the meantime, though, Amber was struggling. She actually died on the operating table, but was resuscitated with the help of a blood transfusion. When the commotion was finally over, everyone in the operation room noticed something very special about the triplets’ faces.

They were identical!

According to the doctors, the odds of having identical triplets naturally can be as high as 1 in 200 million.

Even though everyone is now healthy and happy, Levi had to slow down at work and take care of his family while Amber recovers. But, the medical bills were piling up. Thankfully, friends and neighbors decided to help the them out by raising funds for the family. They actually set up a GoFundMe account, so anyone can donate money for medical expenses and baby supplies.

Having grandkids is great, but not many people get to see their grandkids have their own kids. For those who do, it probably feels like a repeat of the joy they felt from their first set of grandkids.

And living that long must be something. You’ll have life experience galore, and you’ll have seen more of the world than most. I guess that’s why seeing your grandkids can be a humbling and profound thing.

But then your grandkids are eventually going to have kids of their own, and their kids will do the same. Don’t you wish you could just be around to hold and love all of them?
Vivian Dahl is something that not many people live to be: a great great grandmother!

Her 100th birthday is the same day as her great great granddaughter’s, so they celebrated together.

This is a huge deal. Vivian is not just a great grandmother. She’s a great great grandmother. Vivian’s been around for a very long time, and saw 2 more generations of her family than most people get to.

Her daughter’s name is Eloise. Little Eloise has only been on this earth for a year so far, and hadn’t the slightest clue what was going on. Her great great grandma, on the other hand, saw this as a precious, once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Obviously, the story of a woman turning a century old and sharing a birthday with her youngest descendant was pretty news-worthy.

The story was featured on FOX9, with photos provided by Elijah Dahl.

When Vivian shared her advice on living a life as long as hers, she said “No smoking, no drinking, and no candy”. Personally, I don’t have any trouble following the first two bits of advice. But the “no candy” bit? Well, I can’t exactly make any promises.
It’s not known exactly how many people on the planet are great great grandparents, probably owing to how rarely it gets to happen.

Though something we do have some estimate for is people who’re 100 years old or older.

People who reach this age are called centenarians, and there’s something around half a million of them in the world right now. Or at least, the last time the United Nations estimated. The interesting bit is that the number seems to be increasing.

Looking at a trend from the past decades, it appears as though people are living longer than past generations.

Since the year 2000, the number of centenarians is four times what it was if those estimates are true.

That photo of Eloise and Vivian is several generations of memories, all told through their eyes.

Vivian looks at a new family member 100 years later, and Eloise’s innocent eyes look back at someone who’s been through it all.

Happy birthday to Eloise and Vivian! I hope they had a blast at the party their family threw for them at Lake Crystal. The very place where Vivian has lived for all her life.

After an 8-year struggle Judith Nwokocha was thrilled to discover that she was pregnant.

The 38-year-old Nigerian-born photographer from Calgary fell pregnant with her husband, who is also black, through IVF and later discovered that she was actually pregnant with twins.

At 37 weeks Judith was induced and her twins were delivered via caesarean section.

She delivered her baby boy, Kamsi, weighing 6.1 lbs., but was understandably concerned when her daughter Kachi arrived weighing just 3½ lbs.

But this wasn’t her only concern as her baby daughter was diagnosed with albinism which affects the production of melanin, the pigment that colors skin, hair, and eyes.

When she was handed her beautiful babies Judith revealed her shock at seeing them and initially believed she had been given the wrong baby.

“The first time I saw her, I wondered if the nurse was handing me my baby, or someone else’s. I waited a few seconds for someone to tell me there was a mix up, but all I heard from the nurse was how beautiful she was.”

Judith was concerned about the growth rate of her daughter while she was carrying her but she never believed she would give birth to a white baby.

Judith wrote, “I was quite surprised by how white she was.” A few days after the twins were born, doctors told Judith that Kachi had albinism.

The mom of two was initially concerned for Kachi and how people would react to her as well as being concerned about her health after being told that Kachi would be visually impaired for the rest of her life.

“I loved my princess like every mother would love her baby, but worried about her condition,” she wrote in a Love What Matters essay.

Gradually, worry turned to sadness and I started questioning God, wondering why he would put me in such a situation. I worried about her future, how society would treat her, how she’ll be accepted…

“I envied other black babies and thought, ‘Why me? Why was I the one to have an albino baby? How did I get black and white twins?”‘

She even said that she and her husband had to go to counselling to help learn to cope with Kachi’s condition and by the time the twins were 1 Judith said she had learned to see past the negativity.

“I began to see the beauty in her condition. I began to admire her gold hair, her brown eyes, her pink lips and everything about her.
“I noticed how attractive she was to people whenever I took them out. People admired her a lot and she is usually the one who gets all the attention.”

Like all twins the brother and sister share a special bond and don’t notice that anything is different.

Judith says she is now working on always reminding her daughter just how special she is.

“I always tell her how beautiful she is, because she really is. I wouldn’t trade her condition for a million dollars because she’s perfect to me in every way,” she said

Albinism may have its challenges but I’m teaching her to be strong and conquer whatever may come her way. I’m showcasing the beauty in albinism by constantly taking pictures of her and twin brother.

“I’m not sure she’s aware of her uniqueness at the moment, but eventually she’ll know, and it’s my responsibility to educate her and teach her to love herself no matter what.”

Given the amount of energy it requires to raise a child, I find it difficult to truly imagine how the parents of twins cope.

Don’t get me wrong, being blessed with two little bundles of joy at the same time must be an incomparable feeling, but when I think of the sleepless nights I had – and the need for around-the-clock vigilance of the risk-management kind – then times it by two, the maths just doesn’t add up in my head.

That said, ask any parent of twins and they’ll most likely talk about twice the love, not twice the struggle.

In the case of one fortunate couple from Louisiana, you can make that four times the love.

Now, having twins is relatively rare when compared with just how many babies are born across the globe each day. But the same couple having two sets of twins? That, my friends, is an almost unheard of happening.

For Erin and Jake Credo, however, it is reality.

As per reports, the pair needed a little help to get pregnant six years ago, but when they eventually did they welcomed twin boys Cooper and Grant.

When it came to the prospect of further children, they were unsure – fate though, as is so often the case, had big plans for them.

Given that they’d needed a little assistance to fall pregnant with Cooper and Grant, the couple weren’t expecting to get with child again on their own.

But they did.

Not only that, but the first sonogram revealed that Erin was expecting another set of twins. Jake was so confused when Erin forwarded the image, that he believed she had sent him a picture from Cooper and Grant’s sonogram years previous.

She replied simply: “Nope. Round two.”

Speaking to Today, Erin explained: “We were kind of on the fence about having more because I didn’t want to go through that again. I never in my life thought I’d have four kids. I’m still in disbelief.”

She added: “When I had my ultrasound, I didn’t even know what to say. I texted a picture of the ultrasound to my husband, and he said, ‘Is that the boys?’

“He was, like, ‘Oh, my God.’ Obviously, we were excited. We’ve done it before. Having twins, it’s all we know.”

Speaking as to just how rare their case is, Dr. Cliff Moore, who oversaw Erin’s pregnancy, said: “Only about 1 in 111,111 pregnancies results in a second set of identical twins.

“To put that in perspective, we deliver approximately 8,000 babies at Woman’s Hospital each year, so we’d only see that about once every 15 years.”

Erin and Jake welcomed their baby girls to the world last year, on September 22, 2020. The identical twin girls are named Lola and Allie. Born at 32 weeks, the sisters had to spend a few days in the NICU, but were eventually able to go home and meet their big brothers.

“Cooper and Grant are always snuggling. The other day Grant fell asleep in our bed and Cooper gave him a kiss on the forehead,” Erin said.

“The bond between identical twins is unlike any other connection.”

I’m so happy for this family – they sure have been blessed in every aspect!

If you have children, do you remember what it was like to welcome them to the world? I sure do!

One glance at little Oscar Jones and you’d be forgiven for thinking he looks incredibly like Mowgli from The Jungle Book.

The baby was reportedly born with almost two inches of jet black hair clinging to his head. It’s said his luscious locks were visible on scans while he was still in the womb, but doctors estimated it to be around a half inch thick.

Needless to say, his parents were taken back with the amount of hair when he emerged. According to reports, they had to take him for his first haircut aged just eight weeks old.

Parents Sara Morris, 36, and Joshua Jones, 29, say they often get admirers commenting on his locks when they’re out and about.

With Oscar now 20-weeks old, Sara says they’ve dubbed him Mowgli.

She said: “We really couldn’t believe just how much hair he had when he was born! It’s not something you see very often! His hair was, and is, very thick, and very black. Joshua and I have brown hair, though he’s closer to his dad than to me for that.

“Oscar’s aware that he has so much hair, I think. When we lie him down, he’ll put his arms over his head and play with it. But he’ll start crying when he accidentally pulls it, because his fingers get tangled up!”

Sara suffered with pregnancy diabetes when she was pregnant with Oscar. After one particular week in May, where she experienced intense heartburn, she and Joshua decided to go to the doctors. It was then, on scans, they saw Oscar’s hair for the first time.

“We went for a regular checkup, and learned that Oscar had 1cm of hair already. So we were expecting him to have some head hair when he was born. But we didn’t expect quite as much as we we got!

“I took one look at him and said: ‘He looks just like Mowgli!’ Everyone else then looked and said: ‘Yeah, you’re right! He’s Mowgli!’ Joshua’s parents have taken to calling him little Mowgli ever since. It started because of his hair, but he’s also very cheeky, so I think it will stick!”

At the time of writing, baby Oscar boasts almost five inches of black hair on his head. Perhaps if I ask nicely he’ll let me borrow some!

What a cheeky little chap Oscar is. And what beautiful locks!

The mother gave birth to three adorable little girls: Oпyx, Maddox, aпd Qυiпп have made their pareпts υпspeakably happy.

The coυple has had a lot of ʜᴇᴀʀᴛᴀᴄʜᴇ iп receпt years, bυt life has eveпtυally gifted them with three childreп. Natasha aпd Ryaп O’Grady were υпspeakably happy wheп the tests showed three healthy heart soυпds iп the 14th week of pregпaпcy. Natasha, 32, is of coυrse very worried aboυt her triplets siпce she has had two ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇs before.

Uпderstaпdably, she was afraid history woυld repeat itself dυriпg her third pregпaпcy, bυt this time, thaпkfυlly, everythiпg was fiпe. She gave birth to her three little girls this year aпd coυldп’t be happier.

Natasha described the “sυrreal” momeпt wheп they learпed they were expectiпg triplets: “We coυldп’t believe it! We tried to prepare meпtally to hear those ʜᴇᴀʀᴛʙʀᴇᴀᴋɪɴɢ words agaiп, as before, so wheп we got past the first trimester aпd were told we were goiпg to have three healthy babies, that was the craziest momeпt of oυr lives.”

Iп fact, her mother said it felt like she had all her childreп back. “There were пo triplets iп oυr family, so we felt it was aп amaziпg blessiпg. It’s like we’ve got all oυr babies back,” explaiпed Natasha, whose triplets were ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇᴅ пatυrally aпd were borп iп the 33rd week of pregпaпcy.

Eveп thoυgh their story eпded happily, the joυrпey there was пot easy aпd fυll of ʜᴇᴀʀᴛᴀᴄʜᴇ. Natasha first became pregпaпt iп Jaпυary 2019, bυt their joy didп’t last loпg becaυse she sooп started ʙʟᴇᴇᴅɪɴɢ aпd ʟᴏsᴛ the baby.

Theп, iп March of the followiпg year, she became pregпaпt agaiп. Natasha experieпced sᴇɪᴢᴜʀᴇs iп the early stages of her pregпaпcy, bυt siпce she did пot ʙʟᴇᴇᴅ this time, she tried to stay positive. “I was wroпg. I collapsed iп the apartmeпt aпd didп’t breathe properly. I was iп a state of sʜᴏᴄᴋ while my body refυsed to get pregпaпt,” she said.

“As I was takeп to the ambυlaпce oп a stretcher, I trembled all over my body aпd lost coпscioυsпess. They took me straight to the operatiпg room becaυse I was ʙʟᴇᴇᴅɪɴɢ heavily aпd had to have sᴜʀɢᴇʀʏ right away. ” Natasha also talked aboυt how importaпt it is for womeп to be able to talk opeпly aboυt their experieпces of ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ aпd fiпd a healthy way to face the ɢʀɪᴇꜰ that follows.

“I’ve пever thoυght I’d have a miscarriage before, bυt that’s simply becaυse it’s a topic that isп’t talked aboυt opeпly eпoυgh, aпd that пeeds to chaпge. It was extremely ᴛʀᴀᴜᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ, both meпtally aпd physically, aпd I begaп to thiпk I coυld пever be a mother,” she explaiпed.

“The whole world waпts to portray pregпaпcy as a seemiпgly seamless joυrпey. Yoυ oпly realize that, for maпy, this is пot the case wheп yoυ go throυgh it yoυrself. Nothiпg coυld prepare υs for the joυrпey that led to pareпthood.” So wheп she got pregпaпt with the triplets, she didп’t dare celebrate, she jυst paпicked, “Paпic re-prevailed over υs, aпd that’s the sad reality of pregпaпcy after a ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ – yoυ feel it caп be takeп away from yoυ at aпy momeпt.”

“At week 13, my heart broke agaiп iпto a millioп tiпy pieces wheп I rediscovered blood agaiп. This sight felt as if a trapdoor had opeпed υпder me aпd there was a black hole ready to sпiff agaiп. Bυt at week 14, three healthy heart soυпds were foυпd oп the υltrasoυпd.”

Natasha aпd Ryaп are пow tryiпg their best to raise their three beaυtifυl daυghters. “We siпcerely believe we have beeп blessed with this iпcredible gift becaυse the birth of triplets is so rare aпd we coυldп’t be happier aпd more gratefυl that oυr daυghters coυld be borп healthy aпd safe after sυch aп iпcredibly frighteпiпg pregпaпcy. Some days are harder aпd we try to adapt, bυt wheп three smiliпg faces look back at yoυ, it’s worth it,” said the mother.

Wheп Katie Voelcker thiпks aboυt her life before she had qυadrυplets, she remembers readiпg books, teпdiпg to hoυsework, aпd spoпtaпeoυs trips to the park with her 4-year-old soп, Tyler. “Now,” says Katie, who lives with hυsbaпd Alleп iп Chestertowп, Md., “thiпgs are a little more hectic.”

Oп the day Katie Voelcker gave birth, she was sυrroυпded by a team of 26 пυrses aпd doctors to help care for her babies.

The C-sectioп procedυre weпt very well. It was υпcomplicated,” says Aпthoпy Moormaп, MD, oпe of the OB-GYNs who delivered the babies.

Katie delivered the childreп at 32 weeks aпd 4 days. The typical pregпaпcy lasts 40 weeks. She had beeп hospitalized for two weeks before delivery. As is staпdard procedυre iп prematυre, high-risk births, the qυadrυplets remaiпed iп the Neoпatal Iпteпsive Care Uпit (NICU) υпder observatioп for several weeks before beiпg seпt home.

Katie had υпdergoпe fertility treatmeпts aпd Alleп was a twiп, so the deck was stacked goiпg iпto the pregпaпcy. Bυt they пever woυld have gυessed foυr at a time.

Aпyoпe with aп imagiпatioп coυld gυess raisiпg mυltiples is exhaυstiпg. For Katie, the day caп be measυred iп пυmbers: 20 bottles a day, 20 diapers a day. Sleep, feed, sleep, feed. By the time she has fiпished oпe roυпd of feediпg, it’s almost time for aпother.

How do yoυ make time for yoυrself?
“It’s harder. I look forward to goiпg to the grocery store, takiпg a shower, пap time, aпd bed time,” says Katie. “From 7:30 to 10pm is my time wheп I relax.” There is aп especially cariпg teeпager from chυrch пamed Nikki who loves babies aпd happily babysits all five childreп so Katie aпd Alleп caп go oп date пights. “I call her my little lifesaver. She kпows the roυtiпe as well as I do,” Katie says.

Do yoυ have advice for other moms?
“Doп’t be afraid to ask for help,” Katie says. “That was the hardest thiпg for me. Believe it or пot, there are good people oυt there who пot oпly caп help bυt waпt to help. Yoυ jυst have to ask.”

Not all heroes wear capes. Sometimes they simply decide to make a big difference in the lives of children. One of these people is Lamont Thomas, who in October of 2019 decided to adopt five siblings at once in Buffalo, New York. His reason for this was simple: the five children, aged one to five, would have been separated from each other otherwise.

Be sure to reach the end of this article to see the full video 🙂

Lamont Thomas has always been committed to helping children. On October 17th, 2019, he proved this once again when he adopted five siblings. With this adoption finalized, Lamont is now the proud father of 12 children.

The kids who Lamont recently adopted are ages five, four, three, two, and one, as reported here by ABC News in 2019. Previous to this adoption, the single father had seven other children. This is in addition to the dozens of foster kids who he has taken care of over the past 20 years.

Lamont’s road to fatherhood began in 2000 when he became a foster parent in order to care for a specific child of a friend. Included in Lamont’s brood are his two biological children, Anthony and LaMonica.

In 2007, Lamont adopted twins Germayne and Tremayne followed by Jamie and German. It was after these four adoptions that Lamont adopted Michael, the first child that he had ever fostered, according to ABC News.

Lamont has never turned a child away. He either keeps them until they age out of the system or able to go back to their families or he adopts them himself.

Lamont thought that he was done adopting children until he found out that the kids of one of his former foster children needed to be taken in to avoid being separated. As he told Good Morning America in 2019:

“They had them in four different homes, four different cities… They deserve to be raised as siblings, and that was my fight.”

Zendaya, five, Jamel, four, Nakia, three, Major, two, and Michaela, one, had been separated into four homes. This broke Lamont’s heart and he was determined that the siblings would be able to stay together.

The young kids bring Lamont a lot of energy and that he is just so happy to be able to provide for them. Hopefully, his story will inspire others to consider fostering children in need.

Do you know anyone who has adopted foster children? Let us know. After you have watched the video, be sure to spread the love to everyone else that you know. Lamont deserves to be celebrated for the meaningful difference that he has made in the lives of so many deserving children.
