In 2002, despite already having three sons, Stephen and Danielle Walker knew their family wasn’t complete. So, they looked into the idea of adoption. Drawn to the Hispanic culture, they began to pursue adoption from El Salvador. However, a road block in the process turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it led them to twin sisters in Guatemala, who were only one month old. Although Steve and Danielle knew that these girls were meant to be their daughters, the obstacles they would have to overcome in order to bring them home would test their faith.

  • SORRY ABOUT THE MUSIC. I know it's loud but I made this four years ago as a college student and there's nothing I can do about it now. God bless ❤

    I had 3 biological children and age 49 I adopted my Nephew. He was 6 months old and his father was my baby brother. He is now 23 years old and I can tell you that from the moment they placed him in my arms, he was my child, no different than if he had come from my womb. I love him more than anything! My brother passed away when my son was 9 years old. He is not only my son, but he is all that is left of my brother. What a wonderful gift from God!

    I just will never understand dislikes on such positive stories.

    I also gave birth to three boys and then adopted two girls, although I raised them as a single mom. Hugs from a Mexican in Montreal.
  • I'm adopted from India and I'm identical twin too, and seeing this video and the pictures is like watching my own adoption all over again. God bless you!
  • I am Guatemalan. Thanks for adopting children from Guatemala!!! God bless you both for sharing your love, time and kindness!!
  • Aww this is beautiful . My uncle and aunt adopted a baby from Guatemala. She is now 16. She's family even though she's not blood . She has grown to be a beautiful teenager . Adopting is wonderful . It gives children a better chance at a good life

    Lovely adoptions. We also adopted Twins boys. They’re now in their 30’s . Very loving respectful and caring..
  • This is a very interesting and heartwarming story. I'd rather watch this than anything on TV now.

    I’m adopted from Guatemala. God bless you’re family.
  • As an adoptee, who lives in Knoxville and whose name is also Olivia Grace...I love this!!
  • That’s it, my minds made up as I sit here and cry with such happiness… fostering and/or adopting is our next step.. thank you so much for sharing your story. You’re all so beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️
  • For me being adopted it’s like my family chose me which is a great feeling. And the day I was adopted we call family day since it was the day we became a family instead of“gotcha day.” Since it can sometimes also be referred to as kidnapping (since sometimes children that are “up for adoption” in certain areas can actually be taken from their parents). Such a beautiful story happy early birthday to your gorgeous girls, lovely family.
  • Thank you for sharing your story! The story of why I adopted and the adoption process of my daughter is also a story and proof that God's Hand was involved the whole way. Now she's 17 and a blessing for me and for others. Her Chinese name means 'containing something special' and she really does. I thank Heavenly Father all the time for her. She's made me a better person and with the Lord's help a good mother. Me and my daughter have a great love and bond with each other which is wonderful. Adoption is wonderful and a blessing and a gift.

    Why is no one talking about what a beautiful family they have? They were all blessed with amazing genes.

    This video is amazingly put together. What an inspiring story! I’ve been thinking about adopting for a long time and I talked about adoption earlier today and the first thing that was shown on YouTube when I logged in after that conversation was your video. 🙏🏻 Thanks for sharing, I will continue to pray that God will give me opportunity to adopt as well.
  • Omg this is amazing. I been thinking of adoption and then I see this video being recommended to me. I am typing this through my tears, I love this story of faith and hope. You parents are absolutely amazing and I wish you and your family all the very best today and always. God bless
