She is already 16!
She can be emancipated. In less than 24 months she would be 18.
I Hope Kristina Adopts Leah And James Legally And I Also Hope Andrew Gives His Consent Permission To Kristina Coparent Together Share Custody It's Not Necessary Have To Be Gary's Son 😔🙏😔🙏
I’m sorry but Kristina is more of a mother to Leah then Amber is I mean look at everything Amber has put Leah through from Birth til now it’s absolutely heartbreaking all Leah wants is a mother you can clearly see it In her eyes
This is will not hurt Amber, just her ego. When a mom truly loves her child there is nothing that will stop her from getting the help she needs to better herself for that baby and Amber didn’t do the work to be a better mom for Leah. Good on them for choosing Leah’s needs first.
The fact that Leah calls Amber by her name says alot about how she feels.
Why adoption at such a old age omg shes 18 in a few year's why now? She nearby to be a adult so stupid makes no sense
Leah doesn't need a piece of paper to make Kristina her mother. She has been a mother to her since the beginning and will continue to be. Why need a piece of paper to prove that?
Kristina is just a lovely wonderful lady and Gary made the best decision marrying her. Leah has a great mom in her and I understand why she would want to be adopted by her. Amber is mentally unstable and has not been a good mother at all. Smh 🤦🏻♀️
We already know why you weirdos 😂
People normally change your lives for the better for their children but it doesn't seem like amber is doing that for Leah, it's not that hard to change yourself, change your ways ya know!! I wasn't the perfect parent but I changed my life for my kids as well as myself..I listen to what my kids were saying about myself actually, my children's feelings mattered before my own.. I also have mental health issues but it doesn't come in between my children. I don't blame Leah for feeling the way she does she has a right to feel that way. Amber's ego is disgusting she needs a change her attitude or nobody's going to want to be around her eventually she'll be alone and that's facts!! People can't feel sorry for someone that doesn't even try with their children,child.. what Amber expect was going to happen. Kids can also get tired of putting up with a parent that don't do nothing to make their life better. If Amber would change her attitude with her daughter things would be good and change her ways also… She's always with some guy and then neglect her children. She needs to be alone to fix herself because having a man surely interrupts her motherhood.
Even when she's 18, they can do an adult adoption. Leah doesn't need her bio-mother's permission or approval.
Honestly shes doing the adoption to deflect her pain from amber. Shes trying to prove a point to her. Amber never tried. We all have mental health issues and still raise our kids and show up for them. She has no excuse. Shes just selfish.
Look at Gary being great 👍
Teen moms with teens 😮are the cameras in the homes i know a camera person follows them on episodes
As an adoptee myself; it would be so selfish for Amber to stop this. She clearly knows who her real mom is and to stop it would be cruel. Amber needs to accept that she failed.
My mom ain’t perfect I grew up in a toxic family house hold as a kid I was beaten and abused by my family and I wanted to be in a different better parents but I didn’t have the choice one lady told me i just have the parents that I have couldn’t change it
Its sad that she have to think and worry about Amber.
Kristina and Gary are the best ❤
Well i say let Leah go! Let her be happy
People need to be given Christine the props she deserves that lady been a mom to leah before even having her own child and she is caring loving a listener she is there yessss remember the ones who step in.❤
because Leah has been brainwashed by Gary, he is such a sht
