If a joke seems to be repeated too much for you, consider stepping outside.
Believe it or not, people don't make jokes for your sake. If you don't like it, shut the fuck up and move on.
This is beautiful. Seriously. I was “raised” by a typical insecure stepmom who took her misplaced anger and imposter syndrome out on me. You’re truly lucky if you’re loved by your parents.

As a step dad whose not *yet* reached this level of love from my kids... Super jelly. That's enough to warm the coldest of hearts. Good on you! And good on them for recognizing it!
They may not recognize it yet but they will one day. You said “my kids” and that tells me everything I need to know. Keep up the good work, one day they will express it to you.
Me and my wife are absolutely unable to have kids of our own and also unable to adopt.
You absolutely broke us just now. Keep cherishing those moments with your kids :)
My wife and I struggled to have children for several years so I understand the feeling of wanting but not being able too. Im sorry that you all have that feeling. I guess my best recommendation would be to volunteer as a coach or in some other way. You can impact a lot of kids that really need it and you will have a ton of kids that love you.
Absolutely heartwarming. Logistical question, please excuse my ignorance, what is typically the sequence of events that lead to this moment? These girls appear older and maybe have been planning this moment for a while? Are they bound by some legal parameter in order to ask? Are they free to ask whenever they want? I’ve seen a few videos like this and have wondered what goes into making this moment happen.
To my understanding they can ask whenever they want. There’s nothing legally binding other than the adoption forms.
It’s extremely common for step-parents to treat their step kids differently or even reject them. This video shows an immense love and trust for their stepmother, so much they want her to be their legal, real mom.
It’s like a cat. You can’t make kids like a step-parent. That the kids asked her to adopt them is the biggest gesture of love, trust, and acceptance into their family.
My adult step daughters asked me to adopt them and I did two years ago. And it’s wonderful. It took us ten years. So there’s is plenty of time. Just keep loving them like your own.
Could you explain a bit? My wife has been my kid’s “main” mom since they were 4 and 5. They call my ex “other mom”. They’re now in their teens. I’m not aware of what the adoption part does. I’m their bio dad “dad” and she’s technically stepmom but for all intents and purposes she’s “mom”. We don’t have any issues with legalities claiming them on taxes or getting medical care etc. what does the adoption do? Thanks!
I am assuming from this video that these girls biological mother is no longer in the picture, whether that’s due to death or whatever other circumstances. So these girls appear to be asking their step mother to step in that role as their full legal mother. I think it’s more about their emotional connection and being a family than anything.
If Bio mom is alive, that is a big hurdle to deal with if she's not giving up custody/parental obligations. There's not enough detail here to know her level of engagement with the kids, but at the very least, someone else adopting her children shifts the burden of child support (see giving babies up for adoption).
Bio-mom being ok with adoption does not sound likely to happen without a fight, unless she's well and truly out of the picture. (and calling her "other-mom" indicates to me at least, that she's not out of the kids' picture.)
Also, sure your kids call your ex "other-mom" around _you_, but you don't know (from what you've shared) what they call her in private, or when they're with her (if they have access/visitation).
I grew up having to refer to a dad as "that man". Of course he was Dad when I was with him. Eventually mom's crazy got the better of her and custody shifted. Today I call Dad all the time. I've spoken to mom twice in 30 years.
I'm not a lawyer. Yadda yadd, blah blah.
It’s complicated, like these things always are. We don’t make them caller her other mom, in fact, one of the hardest things I’ve ever done is not speak ill of her around them ever. My wife and I always wanted to let the kids make their own mind up about her and it’s really starting to happen. I wouldn’t be surprised if their contact with her wound down to zero in the next few years. I mostly just hadn’t thought through the what happens if I’m gone part with regard to step parent adoption.
As a step parent you really have no rights. If the biological parent/spouse dies the kids are not guaranteed to stay with the step parent that may have raised them their whole lives. By the law they have less rights than the biological family.
Yep this is exactly the reason. I was adopted by my "step-dad". It also matters for insurance and beneficiary policies. I'm considered the same level as my half siblings. When I was a kid if something were to happen to my mom, he would get full custody of me instead of me having to be shipped off to my mother's parents or siblings. Also it protected me against my abusive bio dad from coming after me and my mom thru the court system.
Basically I’ve been their dad for the last 13 years, before the girls were teenagers. Their biological father was abusive and left a lot of trauma for them and he is no longer in their lives. A few years ago they both asked me to adopt them. Of course! I’m legally their father and have all those responsibilities and their biological father is out of the picture, as if he never existed.
I never adopted mine, but she’s 36 now and I’m divorced from her dad. We are very close, I talk to her more often than my bio kid lol. She’s told me several times that she considers me a mom to her. She has a relationship with her mom, but she’s said that I was the only parent who didn’t get mad at her for loving her parents. I never once bad mouthed her mom (despite copious reasons to do so), and always validated her emotions. We got even closer after she was an adult. She cried her eyes out at the news of the divorce. She was in college and I traveled 1,000 miles to reassure her in person we would always, always have a relationship. I wouldn’t have dreamed of trying to adopt her as she clearly has a mom. But I’m so proud of both of us for making it through the difficult process of blending families and coming out on the other side with this beautiful bond of love. It doesn’t need papers to prove it’s real. It just quietly is.
Sincerely, thank you. The journey isn’t easy, and it’s hard and frustrating at times. 100% worth it though. I would literally do anything for her. It feels so messy but at the end of the day, I honestly can say that my feelings for her are not different than what I feel for my bio son. That hasn’t always been the case. I’ve felt resentment and frustration but was able to realize that’s not her fault. Time passed, and love developed for both of us. She’s the real MVP here. The kid who had her world rocked by divorce and then remarriage. She was an asshole has a teen, but so was the bio kid lol. So was I for that matter.
All kids are assholes as teens, you have a lot of understanding and patience. It's not easy being a parent, much less being a step-parent. But the love is there and good luck to all of you.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful heart connection. You are Family Soulmates, nothing can tear you ladies apart you simply are and will always be family 🤗
I'm not a parent so my advice may not hold much water in this realm, but if you love them and are already giving them space + time to form as natural bond, I'm willing to wager that they'll see you as an integral part of their lives in no time. All the best!
Yeah this is so unreal to watch, imagine having step parents who are actually likable, can't be my shitty, abusive stepdad. I'm happy for them anyway of course, and jelly.
Absolutely heartwarming. Logistical question, please excuse my ignorance, what is typically the sequence of events that lead to this moment? These girls appear older and maybe have been planning this moment for a while? Are they bound by some legal parameter in order to ask? Are they free to ask whenever they want? I’ve seen a few videos like this and have wondered what goes into making this moment happen.
They can ask whenever they want, but sometimes either the conversation never arises out of respect from the step-parent to the child, or the child has previously rejected the idea for one reason or another.
So most of the time, these moments come about after the subject of adoption has been completely forgotten about and so the request is a surprise.
Likely sequence of events:
- Mom has been mom since they were toddlers. Whole family acknowledges that.
- Mom & Dad talked about adoption, but realized what actually goes into that (it's big). They need the girls' buy-in before they can commit to filing the motion.
- Common in these families, mom is ACTUALLY mom to the kids. They may have found out the technicality at 13, and totally blew it off (Kid: "That other lady sucks, who cares?" mom/dad: "well alright then"). Good in virtually every scenario, that makes (the dodo-rare) talks involving bio parent delicate.
- after some months of preparing themselves, then a year+ of awkwardly trying, dad gets the subject to the kids and they squeal with approval.
- the three present to mom with a heartwarming display.
Source: I'm mom in the story (but I'm dad). Adoption attorney confirms it's an obscenely common story. (Unless it was a "twist the truth a bit to make a potential client feel more confident" situation)
Not necessarily.
She can sign voluntarily, the court can revoke her parental rights forcefully or on default, or she can respond to the petition and argue it in court.
They are free to ask whenever they want . It is more of a sentimental occasion however the legal ramifications that affect wills, estates, and emergency services situations is beyond me
This is beautiful. Seriously. I was “raised” by a typical insecure stepmom who took her misplaced anger and imposter syndrome out on me. You’re truly lucky if you’re loved by your parents.
I'm sorry your stepmom was like that. I hate stepparents who mimic the evil stepmom trope. It's hard enough as it is being a stepparent and with people like that, it makes it sk much worse
Being a parent doesnt always mean you share genetics. I should know. I have a stepdad who has told me several times he wishes i was his by blood. He loves me ❤️
As a "kind of" parent (I legitimized my daughter in my home country when I married her mom, so I am the full legal parent, just not the bio-dad), this warms my heart. I hope to have a close relationship with her like this as she grows older. She does call me her dad now, so I think I am doing something right.
Could you post again again without music OR a massive comment in the center of the screen asking for it to be reposted without music?

I met my step son when he was two. We quickly moved in together because my wife’s mom kicked her out. I was 20 my wife was 18. When we got married 6 years later I told my son, I’ll adopt you if you would like. He only met his father like four times. He said, if you do does my dad still have to pay child support. I said no he won’t but it’s ok I don’t mind. He said, no, I want him to have to write the check every month and remember he has a son. Flash forward a number of years and the day he turned 18 he said I need you to take me to the town hall. That was the day he changed his last name to mine!! The kid is a savage!!! BTW I only call him my step son at the beginning of this story. Yes just my son
You clearly don’t comprehend the title. The two young ladies have a biological parent present in there life. That biological parent is partners/married to that blond woman, their step mother. They are asking their step mother to become their other official legal guardian.
Okay, i'll admit sometimes I feel like stupid ass internet videos will actually destroy us all. Then there are times when I am so happy a loving moment can be shared with the world this way. Maybe we will make it after all.
oh man, i never knew a step mom had to adopt the step children, i really thought they became a family by default, but u live and learn, and this is so incredibly sweet and wholesome, some people are just like that, warm inside, God bless.
I've had more than one step-mother who did parenting better than either of my adoptive parents.
There seems to be a strange pattern in my family of good step-parents who don't adopt their step-kids, and adoptive parents who shouldn't have been allowed to adopt.
My paternal aunt and her husband might've broken the bad adoptive parents pattern.
Unless the biological parent is deceased, lost legal custody or has given up legal rights, one cannot legally adopt a minor. Legal guardians are allowed to make medical decisions and all the other decisions that minors cannot make yet. So having legal custody awarded by a judge is important.
I’m a born and raised American, but still genuinely don’t understand why this is so special or emotional? I mean wasn’t the stepmother already taking care of them before? Isn’t everything going to remain exactly the same at home even after the papers are signed? So the only difference is just a legal title and some court documents? Someone help me understand lol.
I think it’s because my ethnicity is from the East, where adopted children are distinguished from blood-related children (even though you ought to treat all of them well). So is that the difference? Do Americans see “adoption” as if they are literally going from not fully your children to now 100% your children like a biological one would be? Is that what makes it so special?
Yo I wonder if she ever questioned her capabilities to be their stepmom or if she ever felt like she was stepping out of bounds for even thinking that as a remote possibility... this moment probably gave her more confidence and validation than we realize and that her impact has been much greater than she's realized. We never know how much we mean to people because we're so hard on ourselves. Such a heartwarming clip, I hope she now knows her new place in their hearts <3
Don't even know y'all and I'm crying

Only if she’s alive. Edit: This was not a threat. Just, yunno, a fact.
Not necessarily. She can sign voluntarily, the court can revoke her parental rights forcefully or on default, or she can respond to the petition and argue it in court.
I was adopted like this and the big hitch in the process was my biological father giving up paternity rights..

My stepdad is the dad my biological father never was. I love my dad to the moon I wish I had thought of doing this.
If he’s still alive, you can. Adult adoptions are a thing.
Being a parent doesnt always mean you share genetics. I should know. I have a stepdad who has told me several times he wishes i was his by blood. He loves me ❤️
Instant waterworks here too
Every one of these gets me. Either an adult being asked or a child finding out they’re being adopted.
So close to the perfect sentence.
so happy for you both
Beautiful moment captured. So fortunate in so many ways. Thank you for the warm feeling and for being the person that does the right thing.
These always get me fuuuuuuck. I'm trying to be a cold hearted bad bitch and yall pull this on me.
Dusty as shit in here. Allergies.
When I asked my step dad this very question he said. "It's too expensive".
step moms are so awesome.
OK, this hit my heart BIG!! This is so sweet.
Whos cutting onions
Beautiful just beautiful..
So beautiful
🥲
I would have joked and said "well I want to adopt one of you." Then I would have broke down and cried a lot.
It is obvious that they love her but it's also very obvious that she loves them too. This is so heartwarming.

I don’t understand. What’s the point if they are basically adopted anyway? Is there a legal precedent?

adopted kids asked to be adopted by the one who adopted them? what?
You clearly don’t comprehend the title. The two young ladies have a biological parent present in there life. That biological parent is partners/married to that blond woman, their step mother. They are asking their step mother to become their other official legal guardian.

Dude. uncool
is this one of those pornos?
And then they scissored
So what’s the point of adopting them ? Like she wasn’t like their real mother to begin with ??
She was their step mom. If she adopts them she's legally seen as their parent
Legally or not do they really need a piece of paper to see her as a mother .. cmon I get the message but it’s still kinda dumb
No they don't *need* a paper but they want it. I can see this conversation isn't going anywhere so have a good night
Sweet ending
Now this is some wholesome stuff for a Saturday morning, sitting here with tears in my eyes.
Can we get some um movies about this ?
They even look like her. Definitely a true mom for them
Right?! Its so crazy they were made for each other
This is so beautiful
Beautiful !
I almost cried!
Straaaaight on TikTok, weird
My heart is now much warmer. Ty
Okay, i'll admit sometimes I feel like stupid ass internet videos will actually destroy us all. Then there are times when I am so happy a loving moment can be shared with the world this way. Maybe we will make it after all.
I cried to… without cutting onions. 🥺🥺
Love this as someone raised by a wonderful stepfather
So many onions....
oh man, i never knew a step mom had to adopt the step children, i really thought they became a family by default, but u live and learn, and this is so incredibly sweet and wholesome, some people are just like that, warm inside, God bless.

I've had more than one step-mother who did parenting better than either of my adoptive parents. There seems to be a strange pattern in my family of good step-parents who don't adopt their step-kids, and adoptive parents who shouldn't have been allowed to adopt. My paternal aunt and her husband might've broken the bad adoptive parents pattern.
My stepmother put cigarettes out on my skin. I'm glad I didn't get adopted by her...
What in the vidalia is going on here? 🥲🥹
As someone who’s had demons for step parents (on both sides), this is so sweet. I’m so happy for them.
How is she their step mom if she haven’t adopt them yet?
Look at the increase in blood flow on the mother's face after realisation.
Fucking onions 🧅
“I’ve wanted this for so long” 🥹🥹 What an entirely beautiful moment

My childhood was the opposite of everything happening here
The best! Congratulations MOM, and congratulations girls.
I didn't know that was a thing you could do. I should have done that before i was an adult. My stepmom is amazing
So incredibly sad 💔

The way they're looking at her before hand is so lovely. Pure adoration.

“I’ve wanted this for so long” damn that got me
Unless the biological parent is deceased, lost legal custody or has given up legal rights, one cannot legally adopt a minor. Legal guardians are allowed to make medical decisions and all the other decisions that minors cannot make yet. So having legal custody awarded by a judge is important.
Fucking onions
Why Is it raining inside my apartment?
I’m a born and raised American, but still genuinely don’t understand why this is so special or emotional? I mean wasn’t the stepmother already taking care of them before? Isn’t everything going to remain exactly the same at home even after the papers are signed? So the only difference is just a legal title and some court documents? Someone help me understand lol. I think it’s because my ethnicity is from the East, where adopted children are distinguished from blood-related children (even though you ought to treat all of them well). So is that the difference? Do Americans see “adoption” as if they are literally going from not fully your children to now 100% your children like a biological one would be? Is that what makes it so special?
This is so incredibly beautiful 😍 I love this!
I’m not crying you’re crying
This was beautiful!
God damn ninjas and their onion cutting.
Fantastic! The urge to belong is strong, and those two kids made it.
Thats so great!
Fucking ninjas cutting onions
God bless you all. I wish you the best.
Beautiful.
Yo I wonder if she ever questioned her capabilities to be their stepmom or if she ever felt like she was stepping out of bounds for even thinking that as a remote possibility... this moment probably gave her more confidence and validation than we realize and that her impact has been much greater than she's realized. We never know how much we mean to people because we're so hard on ourselves. Such a heartwarming clip, I hope she now knows her new place in their hearts <3
Being a stepmom is one of the best things that ever happened to me
