[candacefrandsen]

@VbacBound Aww, thank you! I am glad to hear that you share our story with your students. That is why Lauren (sawyer's birthmom) and I make these videos and blogs in hopes of educating people on open adoption. I hope our story can help esp if one of your students feels like shes out of options. Let me know if you have any questions : )

[sarahcon84]

This is my first time to respond to a video but for this video I had to. I' am so happy for your entire family, Sawyer is obviously adored and cherished by everyone. I think it is amazing how Sawyer gets to have you both as his parents while still being lucky enough to grow up knowing his birth parents. So few children have such opportunities and are loved so much by so many people. I wish you all the very best happiness for the future. Also I truly admire his birth parents for their couragexxx

[candacefrandsen]

@sarahcon84 Aww, thank you so much. He is an amazing little guy.

[Christy49rs]

Beautiful, Congrats!!!

[candacefrandsen]

[kdpullon]

Tears are rolling down my face! What a special and most perfect day!

[MBShrewsbury]

CONGRATS!! OMG I am crying right now..LOL Im so happy for you guys.. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story with us. People like you and your husband give kids a better home and a life. I was also a teenage parent had my son at 13 and I didn't give him up for adoption but I think its important to give teen parents the option and show them what happens. THANK YOU!!! THUMB UPS!!!

[candacefrandsen]

@MBShrewsbury Aww sorry to make you cry. Thank you so much for your kind words : )

[CrazyCoolShorty]

[candacefrandsen]

@elesha76 Thank you so much : )

[mummyandee]

Congratulations, so thrilled for you. Sawyer was truly blessed with amazing loving birth parents who if he is half as thoughtful, loving, giving and selfless as them he will be one amazing man. However, as parents I don't think Sawyer could ask for better, he has a mother and father who truly adore him, who I am sure will help him grow, learn, flourish & have a wonderful foundation in his childhood to grow into a wonderful young man. Wishing you all a lifetime of love, health and happiness xx

[candacefrandsen]

@mummyandee Aww thank you . That is so sweet! We are going to try our best : )
