We actually have a child in our family(not my child)that is a year older than Rosie and has DS and I can tell you that Rosie is way ‘behind” and that’s the parents fault.

She’s was going on about the internet safety stuff and telling kids to not give away there information online yet her kids full names and other information is online without there consent

It's been a long time since I caught up with Angie's videos, and OH MY GOD I can't believe that she adopted another kid. Back when I was watching regularly, the comments on this forum were all about how overwhelmed she seemed with the twins. And now...she has decided to increase her stress by adding another kid to the mix? I agree that the kids need more individualized attention. I really feel for the older daughters who have to take care of the younger kids. I'm not anti-homeschool, but it seems like sending the kids to school would be better for everyone in this case. If she was sending the kids to school, it would give Kennedy and Shelby time where they didn't have to act as parents. Rosie would get the support she needs, both as someone with Down Syndrome and someone learning English as a second language. And, the twins and Benjamin would get more attention from Angie and JR.

It is all SELFISHNESS! She sates that she home schools as she wants to make sure they have her beliefs like Thanksgiving and what it is really about. Say What? Isn't she able to do that at home. I feel that these kids will be able to listen to other peoples opinions and facts, listen to their parents chosen ones and still be able to make up their mind...that is if they are allowed to. If not the other kids at LEAST Rosie. She would be oblivious to the beliefs or politics. She needs one on one by a Teacher that is trained for DS children. it isn't very likely that Angie or CR has a M.E> degree in this field, although many parents can do wonders, it still would be far better to have her needs developed by a professional, at least 2-3 days a week, then Angie with all this time can play teacher at home with her and at least enforced what she has learned that day. Wonder if they ever think what will happen to Rosie once they pass. My heart aches for her.

Totally agree with you.
As far as Rosie is concerned, she'll end up living with Kennedy or Shelby.

I’m not her parent, but I just feel bad for Rosie. She used to have her brothers to play with, but they’ve seem to have abandoned her for other boys in the neighborhood. Her closest buddy is her 2-year old sister, which can’t be good for her speech development. Nowadays when I hear a little girl shouting “Mom!” or “Hi, Mom!” in the background, I can’t tell if it’s Rosie or Amelia anymore.

Yes, it won't be long before the twins development passes Rosie and she's left behind academically and socially. It'll be sad if she has no one to play with and realizes her much younger siblings are able to do more than her. Angie has said that her children have difficulties and receive support that she doesn't talk about though. Perhaps Rosie is receiving support?

[Beccaboom22]

Her adoption video is so condersending. Sad thinsg is I acrually don't disagree with alot of what she says it's just that preachy tone she has (her sister has it too) never mind #PreachingToMyself it's #PreachingToEveryoneElse.

If Rosie is getting any support, I'd want my money back as it's not working. She needs to be in school

I heard it, too. Her first point especially, about realizing love isn’t always enough, sounded like it was directed at another mom. I can’t help but think it’s Myka Stauffer, who I think was inspired by Rosie’s adoption to also adopt from China. I think Myka expected a child like Rosie, but ended up with a little guy with a lot of baggage and challenges. It’s obvious she is disappointed and would consider re-homing him to another family. I remember Angie met with her to get Rosie and Huxley together, but that seemed to have gone badly as the two moms barely spoke of it. I’ve only been following Angie since her twin pregnancy, but it doesn’t seem like her kids have a lot of issues, nothing beyond what is expected.

So the big news... drumroll... they are starting a podcast! Angie AND CR! How original. Not sure if this makes a difference that CR will be present, Angie is probably gonna be talking over him the whole time. Who will be watching the kids while they film these? Oh yeah right, Kennedy and Shelby.

Kennedy is allowed to leave the house and she will be surrounded by boys, that's hilarious.

So CR just posted a video in his Instagram story basically hinting that they might be moving. He basically doesn’t get to announce anything so I highly doubt it’s actually happening but man I hope so... that house is way too small for that family

Perhaps, but based on his wording

(Let’s go for a ride, We’re saying goodbye, to something special, and it’s just around the corner, almost there, not quite, okay kids we made it, time to unbuckle)

I got the impression the house the drive TO was where they were saying goodbye to something. Maybe a friend moving, or they sold or gave away something?

Just a few weeks ago they said they were not moving this year, though I know that could change.

[WheresMyCoffee]

That house is not too small for them!!! They have plenty of extra room, like a former dining room/office they never use and that whole play room/home school room. Plus, that backyard!!!!!

[Amsouthernbell]

Her parents sold their house.

The holier-than-thou sister breeders, Ashleigh and Angie are annoying as hell, but I got curious about their younger sister and surprisingly found a YT channel for her. I must say, this young woman seems incredibly sane, intelligent and dedicated to bettering her future (not just churning out humans in the great baby race). Seems she struggles with depression, etc like many of us. I’m sure having these two idiots for big sisters don’t help.

In case anyone is curious:

[Beccaboom22]

They so wanted us to think they were moving! I hope they don't start clickbaiting.

Wow she seems really normal and not preachy at all, i hate the holier than attitude especially as i find lot's of Ashley's content interesting but her attitude icks me out.

[whatinthisworld]

Apparently the younger sister, Savannah, took out loans to pay for her college. She seems super dedicated and smart. So right now I am calling big time BS on Angie with her “family college trust” safety net. If that was available, wouldn’t Savannah surely have been eligible?! Of course, with Angie and Ashleigh having babies like humans are going extinct, any family trust would be gone in an instant.

Like we predicted, she only cares about babies, babies, babies and has put zero thought or consideration into providing her 8 children with a higher education. And, yes, she actually uses the excuse that college wasn’t for her... I can’t.

I’m actually a first-gen college graduate with an advanced degree myself and my parents would have killed for the opportunity to get an education themselves. I cannot imagine not wanting your own child to get a higher education and better themselves, even if you yourself were not as fortunate/gifted/dedicated. I know I could not afford to properly educate 8 children the way they deserve, and more importantly give them the time and experiences I want to give my kids.

I realize the Snoo didn’t work out. So where does Benji sleep? I don’t recall seeing a crib for him?

Bed share? Maybe they don’t talk about it because the all knowing internet will have opinions.

Just wondering if I’ve missed it.
