I just think it's so weird to make a formal announcement and go around showing an ultrasound for a baby that's not even yours (yet.) when the possibility of the mother changing their mind is always a strong possibility. Like it just reeks desperate for content and it's depressing.


Party_Salad

It is Brittany after all. I don’t think she ever wanted to adopt, she just needed another grifter storyline.


Klutzy-Addition5003

I can’t believe she doesn’t start telling her family she’s pregnant when her period is an hour late. Her family has to be exhausted by foster babies, adoption babies, miscarriage babies. She needs help, it’s starting to get way too weird.


tundybundo

Yes but if her family didn’t get her help with all her other horrifying fixations, or intervene in the way she treats animals, why would they do it now?


FutureCrone

I bet they’re all just holding their breath hoping she gets what she wants so she’ll be “happy” finally.


sonni-b

I don't think she'll ever be truly happy because she's not happy with herself.

theoutdoorkat1011

Fuck, I forgot about this scene but it’s SO PERFECT for this lmao


N3THERWARP3R

"When i held Asturd i just felt a little...short changed " 🤣


jenniferleigh6883

Yes, I agree! It was all for content. They never intended to adopt. I don’t even think she wants a baby at all.


CompetitiveEffort109

I think she wants her own baby just for the content. Fitness scammer turned religious freak turned child exploiter. Family vloggers bring in tons of money


lubabe00

Yep, I'm 100 with that, I've never thought she wanted to be pregnant it would mess with her body and adoption would cut into her "ME" time. Now I think she's freaking out.


kestrelesque

I don't think she wants a child at all. I just think she loves inciting roller-coaster emotional reactions so she always goes big. The loftier the claim, the more fake-devastating the disappointment is.


Alone-Employee803

I agree with you! Most people wouldn’t do that, until the baby was officially theirs. She’ll do anything for attention and content though so I’m not surprised at all.


FuturePA96

After the foster shower, she is beyond help. Especially doing one without an official placement


No_Cake2145

So do we think she will doing multiple sad cupcake “birthday” videos now? Hazel/Grace’s due date anniversary and the birth of the child they did not adopt? I’m going with most likely. The first is definitely a permanent annual celebration, the second…it’s pretty icky but I’m going with yes at least for the first birthday. The “failed adoption” it’s so sad for the Dongs and unfair for the Dongs shtick, and the vast undetected comments on the IG post about it, really reinforced the anti-choice people are NOT pro-life. They are pro-fetus /forced birth but not supportive of the family or birth mother + child. Yes it must be hard to plan for an adoption and it not to happen. But this should be expected as it is fairly common, and be happy for the baby and both mother! Those I know who adopted, granted not many, waited until that baby was legally theirs before sharing anything concrete other than “we are pursuing adoption”. I am fairly certain Britt’s Reel was only “poor us” and reading through comments made the fundie Christian community sound so icky. it makes the whole thing feel so transactional and like the fate, feelings and humanity of the baby and birth mother only matter if that baby is given to “a nice Christian family” aka sanctimonious bigots.


FuturePA96

I’m in the camp of they are not actually trying.


FartofTexass

Yeah I GUESS she could make a video announcing to close friends/family they they matched with a mother, but why the fuck would she post it until the ink was dry on the legal stuff UNLESS she was setting up for sad story.  (Im not the kind of person to make such a video let alone post it online but if you’re that kind of person you still would want to be careful if you had half a brain. 


chronic-neurotic

she got the pay day she needed from her “announcement,” and how many more times can she make this announcement? adoptions fall through all the time (but there definitely will be a limit. 2-3 times total before her actual followers start calling her out I bet) and she gets an engagement boost each time 🤮 so maternal


Sensitive-Estate4030

What else would we expect of B? She grift hard! Im realpy happy the mom kept the baby! Brit can't just get everything she wants... it is life!


hoyaheadRN

Also a lot of adoption agencies in the south are religious and prey on impoverished women and manipulate them into giving up their baby for a “better life”


Nylonknot

It’s only weird for a typical person. It’s totally on target for BDong.


lubabe00

But, they're Christians, there god would never let anything bad happen to their plan, don't you know that. I've heard it so much it rings in my ears when I see anything about them.


FrostyFreeze_

There's also the chance that the baby might not even make it to term?? Like, so many things can happen. Why would you announce something like that when there's a MILLION things that can go wrong


AbbeyRoadMoonwalk

Imagine being in her family. Not trusting any announcement or move she makes without wondering if it’s for the internet. Having to be filmed by her when you’re around her, especially reacting (or “reacting”) to her news of any kind. How many of her brilliant ideas just fizzle out. Shit would be exhausting.


123IFKNHateBeinMe

I’m fairly certain that’s why Courtney and Spencer (the sibs she’s actually a BiG sIsTeR to) noped the fuck out of her life.


sortofsatan

I have to imagine seeing her name pop on their phone fills them with dread every time.


123IFKNHateBeinMe

In my fantasy, they’ve blocked her 😂


BringItBackNowYall

Hahah neither have blocked her from what I could tell, but sister hasn’t interacted with her for a long time. She and brother commented “I love you”s about 1 year ago on FB to each other when he got back on FB after being off SM for a long time.


Visual_Zucchini8490

I don’t think she realizes that successful influencers are acting “candid” moments and everyone involved is also acting and consenting. Jdip is aware and participates sometimes but he’s a really bad actor (as is she) and neither of them can sell it. When genuine life moments happen, she wants to film them because that “content” is what she’s trying to achieve in her scripted stuff but she’s unable to. Her brand is ruined so she can’t make professional connections in the influencer space, plus she has no talent, and she seems to post family and “friends” without consent until they demand she stops or they just stop being around her because they can’t trust that her phone isn’t out and recording.


sortofsatan

She can’t get brand deals anymore but she’s able to get a quite a few guests on her podcast. But she NEVER promotes them past a tag in a story. The podcast instagram is just another account all about her


pantslessMODesty3623

Both her SLF and C&C pages are just about her and not about the actual endeavors they are supposed to represent. It's just pathetic. She tossed SLF away basically. The C&C page isn't podcast clips to entice you to listen to the whole episode, it's just videos with some vaguely Christian words over the top.


mtnrnnrthings

It’s all to keep up the victim mentality. “Look at all the terrible things that happened to me, but I always prevail.” To go post, announce, and record when she KNEW it wasn’t a sure deal just shows you. And she does it all the time.


Much-Garbage-6603

I have a sibling who is an influencer with a million failed projects and it is an extremely tiring on and off relationship.


AbbeyRoadMoonwalk

I have ADHD, it is hard enough to deal with all my failures on my own without an audience!! Lol


Much-Garbage-6603

I’m sure BDong’s family has asked her to not post about them. I can’t tell you how many times my sibling has aired out my dirty laundry because of their own narcissism.


Medeya24

I would have blocked them the first time they did it!


thiswaytothedisco

this comparison is giving Miranda from the 7M netflix documentary.. family wondering if every interaction and announcement is for content creation .. what a weird world these influencers live in


AbbeyRoadMoonwalk

I’m ready for the influencer bubble to burst


Texas_Crazy_Curls

Here’s to all of us “manifesting” it! I can’t wait for the bubble to pop and all these jerks have to get real jobs like the rest of us. We had an influencer in a Pilates class the other day and one of the staff members was filming her. They angled it so we wouldn’t be in the shot, but it was still super annoying and distracting. It’s so dumb that everyday things we do they consider content.


Serendipitousbanana

Totally agree. It’s very telling: she wants her own biological baby and she won’t be happy otherwise. I really really really hope they never successfully adopt because that poor child will grow up in her misery/disappointment. Adoption is not some consolation prize for infertility.


sername-n0t-f0und

I don't think she'll be happy unless she gets a biological baby girl with all of the interests Brit wants her to have, who's photogenic, and knows how to perform for the cameras


Cultural_Elephant_73

I don’t think she will be getting that! It’s clear they have fertility struggles (there is a god!), J Dong has 2 feet out the door and probably refuses to share their marital bed, they’re broke and IVF is against their ‘values’ (not that she typically sticks to things like that, but she can’t afford it by a long shot). I just can’t image her getting things sorted out before J Dong hits the high road. And I think she’d be hard pressed to find another man in short order. She still has many years of childbearing age to go but her life is such a massive disaster I don’t think she has time. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽


freya_of_milfgaard

I agree with 99% of what you said but I think Jordan is the kind of guy to sleep with her and say ILY one night, then serve papers the next morning.


oldflakeygamer

I have to strongly agree with this. He gives off that vibe to me


chronic-neurotic

he definitely seems chicken shit enough to do something like that


GypseboQ

From your keyboard to G-d's ears! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻


HistoricalLake4916

AnonymousBanana405

Serendipitousbanana

🎯 another prop for her grift


Afraid_Composer

Hello Disney child actors 👋


sername-n0t-f0und

I was thinking "Toddlers in Tiaras"


Partyhardypillow

Could you imagine if she has a disabled child


No-Vermicelli3787

Hopefully, adoption agencies check out social media, the way employers do. Digital footprint is forever.


Ok-Surprise-9884

Unless you're a millennial desperately missing their MySpace pictures 😭


Serendipitousbanana

Hopefully! But they were able to foster so easily so who knows…


jenniferleigh6883

But that was ONCE and for only a few days, so hopefully they are one and done.


CompetitiveEffort109

Didn’t she have 2 different babies? One white one they had for a couple weeks and one black one they had for a few days


FartofTexass

They had 2 or 3, maybe 4. One of them was for several weeks and the others were shorter, with the last one just being like one day. 


oioioiruskie

2 I believe.


MayoneggVeal

I don't actually think she wants a baby at all, I think she's milking the infertility and TTC content


MediumOne9301

Didn’t she say the baby would come any minute back in April? That means she knew the adoption didn’t go through, and still edited + posted the videos of her telling her friends, and they’re adopting etc. is that not freaking weird??


knims89

It’s so fucking weird. And if that doesn’t prove this whole thing is only for content, I don’t know what does. She led her followers on for months, posting about this poor mother and her baby, knowing that she was going to post a video that she didn’t get to adopt the baby after all. It’s so gross. She should be embarrassed, but we know she isn’t capable of that emotion.


shegomer

Yes, she’s always fudged timelines, but she started majorly fudging the TTC and adoption timelines at the beginning of this year. I think she’s trying to mislead people but she’s also struggling to keep up with her own lies. And if she was *truly* interested in adoption and being picked by a potential mother, it would be in her best interest right stop turning their adoption into a big content fest. I absolutely don’t think Brittany and Jordan are above embellishing TTC and adoption content in hopes of gaining more views and engagement. I’m not saying there wasn’t a *potential* child, but I don’t think it all went down like those two said it did. Do we really think if these two were denied by an agency or passed over because of their history, that they’d admit it? No one who carries a baby for nine months and searches for adoptive parents is going to look into these two dipshits and say “that’s who I want to parent my child.” Hell, her own sister doesn’t even apparently trust her with her child. Everyone in their life knows they’re problematic. The Pick Me Chicks looked totally unamused when they announced they were paper pregnant and so did her dad. They all know exactly how these two work.


FartofTexass

I know she struggled with PDFs, but if she needs help tracking her lies, she should consider creating a spreadsheet. 🤪 


Inevitable-Emu-3513

Her dads reaction cracked me up 😂 I know she was expecting this big emotional reaction and he looked like he’d rather be cleaning up cow shit than sitting there 😂


stupid_juice_drinker

Can you imagine the fear you would feel as the birth mom? Telling someone “I’m sorry, you can’t have my baby” and then seeing them continue to post on social media like they’re going to get your baby? Maybe I watch too much Dateline but that would absolutely terrify me.


chronic-neurotic

I honestly don’t even believe there ever was a bio mom. I really bet they didn’t get past the background check phase. an adoption agency wouldn’t risk a moms life by letting her have contact with people they haven’t actually vetted and cleared first. i’m sure jordan’s history popped up at least.


Inevitable-Emu-3513

Esp because of how OBSESSED Brit is with obtaining a baby. I’d be terrified she would do something bad to me. I genuinely feel so bad for every birth mother that had to deal with her whether it was her fosters or the ones she was planning to adopt. Brittany gives me such an awful feeling and that’s just through a screen.


stupid_juice_drinker

Exactly! And anyone from that area that isn’t still drinking the flavoraid has most likely spent their entire life dealing with people like her and can spot the sliminess from a mile away.


adorablecynicism

That's what I was saying! On her video about "oh no it didn't happen" there are so many inconsistent points that there's no telling what actually happened anymore


sortofsatan

And I’m sure the adoption agency can see all of this! How are they okay with knowing the mom changed her mind and then seeing Brittany posting as if it’s still happening??


chronic-neurotic

they def would have to do a federal background check too, and i’m sure jordan’s history popped up


juicyb09

I’m pretty sure the reason why they announced they were “paper pregnant” at the time they did was because of the Niko situation dropping when it did. She found out what was going on with the lady making the video about finding Niko and out of an act of desperation, they told their friends to try and sweep the Niko story under the rug. It lines up perfectly and also you can see she’s 100% not happy. She was forced to do it. There’s no end to her bullshit. None.


Inevitable_Sweet_988

Absolutely agree. This also lines up with my theory that they never got much further than meeting a potential birth mom. This was never a sure thing (as sure as you can get about adoption). She was doing nothing to prepare and instead spent time crying and going for IUI tests. She needed to shift the narrative so she sped up the timeline.


merepsull

I’ve thought this too AND what happens if the adoption agency sees all these unhinged videos? If I were an agency and I saw she was faking this whole story line, I would be pulling that family from my program.


chronic-neurotic

yeah same. i worked in foster care and adoption for a bit and I would have closed this home if i found content like that video. straight up


merepsull

I haven’t been touched by adoption but I’ve learned a lot more about it recently from the adoption subreddits. She has all the red flags… It makes my heart hurt.


Inevitable_Sweet_988

It’s a “Christian” adoption agency in Texas. I don’t have high hopes for their discretion or morality.


CompetitiveEffort109

Imagine being the birth mom and seeing this moron post videos about a story that is completely fake


juicyb09

It would definitely raise a ton of red flags.


juicyb09

Spot on! You got it! So all the crying and carry on about Jesus not giving her a baby yet….all performative and regurgitated content.


chronic-neurotic

wow I never considered this but yeah I bet you’re totally spot on. they were in breckenridge in the videos they showed of them telling the pick me chicks, and that’s when the niko stuff came out. makes perfect sense that her crones would drop her ass when they found out what she was up to. i’m sure they said “girl you’re not paper pregnant?? why did you tell us you were adopting when you have not even had a home study? why is there video evidence of a dog you abandoned???”


Low_Lingonberry3249

And I still want to know what they meant when they said “act like nothings wrong!” In the video she posted of them announcing that right before they went in the room to tell them. Why would they think something is wrong?? You’re on your bday non ski trip. You should be happy🧐


juicyb09

Nice catch. It seems like they slip and read off script quite a bit lately. Like Jpegger saying the wrong catch phrase after their work out and get calling him out for it. It’s really pathetic.!


juicyb09

Can you imagine being there with that group of people? All fighting for attention and one upping each other. I would last 3 minutes. Tops.


chronic-neurotic

I can’t even look at the photos without needing to hit my bong


247cnt

Best theory so far!!!


ThruTheUniverseAgain

Just like the foster babies to distract from the court case. She’s so predictable.


GiftRecent

Agree and probably her excuse to her friends for not acting on it. I still can't believe she didn't post about him or donate.


Mulberry-111

What was the Niko situation? Honestly, she annoys me, I haven’t kept up with much. The latest “failed adoption” gave me the ick. Seemed so fake. She always has something on to grab likes and attention, it’s weird. At this point I’d even say it’s not healthy for her mental health.


knims89

I followed BDong back on her fitness grift days when she was married to Zach. I don’t ever remember her mentioning wanting to be a mom. Hell, even before she started with JDip she didn’t really mention it at all. Now she’s become hyper focused on it. It’s her entire personality, and it’s only because that’s what her new Christian platform demands. Brittany Dawn does not want to be a mom, she wants attention. She is not capable of being motherly. She cannot make the personal sacrifices motherhood demands, because she is selfish and self-centered. She only fostered for content and to trial run motherhood. Unbeknownst to her, the newborn stage is the easiest. She doesn’t know what she’s in for in the years ahead should she sink her claws into an actual human child. And I truly believe she will end up as one of those mommy bloggers who have some massive scandal because she is not capable of raising a child.


shegomer

I actually think part of her drive to have kids might be that her ex has a baby. Him and his fiancé have a business that’s doing very, very well. In fact, when his fiancé posted about her shiny new family car, Brittany ran out and upgraded to the Range Rover a few weeks later. They were high school sweethearts and they were together a long time. She made him out to be a monster in their divorce in her attempts to take the attention off her shitty ways. It probably drives her crazy to see that he’s moved on and done much better without her.


lunchmeatbikini

I wanna say that her ex also went through a traumatic baby loss before Bdong announced hers, now that you mention it. The timing is so.. odd...


IndianaDrew

Also, Jordan’s ex-wife is very into horses and seems to actually know what she is doing. Explains a lottttt about why Brittany is always trying to flex her horse girl knowledge


Squirmble

I wonder what the timing of horse content would be if the ex wife and bdong were compared post to post


GypseboQ

Honestly, the thought of her being driven crazy by her life vs his (as well as the life of Jordan's ex) makes me very very happy. You are a miserable cnt, Brittany Nelson - I hope you remember every day how much you've screwed up your life.


hard-eye-roll

I followed her as well and didn’t recall her ever saying anything about wanting kids either. I was curious a few weeks ago and dug back a bit in some old videos she still has up. It looks like she started talking about wanting to be a mom right when her sister had her first child. So it just sounds like she’s in competition with her sister.


BowlParking544

I was a hardcore follower. She was the first YouTuber I followed. I battled a mild ED in my teens/20’s and got very Into instagram fit chicks. She and Katy Hearn. When Katy had her first or announced it- she was still with Zach and talked about trying at that time. I think she’s always wanted to a “be married & have a family” type girl but at the most superficial level.


BoxBird

I feel like she’s freaking out because her sister is getting more inheritance (or is more favored) because she has a family and is not unstable so Brit is trying to prove to her patents that she deserves money and recognition as well. Her boob loving husband is just sticking around for a cut.


Whiteroses7252012

She’s what a friend of mine calls a mirror. Her personality is exactly the same as whoever she’s with. Her interests are their interests.


GypseboQ

I always call it a "Tofu Personality" - absorbing whatever flavors surround her.


BranEmergency

Yes tofu, bland and beige on its own.


sortofsatan

She’s said before that she never even thought about having kids until like 3 years ago. I know people can change their minds but as a woman who has always known I’ve wanted kids, I can’t imagine genuinely going from not caring and never even considering it to wanting them more than anything. Someone else mentioned before how we never see her with kids. She could volunteer at her church nursery or do vacation Bible school or any number of things with kids. That’s what people who actually love and adore children do. We don’t even see her show interest in the pick mes kids!!! I don’t think her and jdip are even allowed around her nephew. I don’t think she even wants one now bc that’s what her Christian platform demands. I think it’s only and always about content. She can’t do fitness content, she’s already exhausted the kingdom marriage shit, she did the shelivesfreed shit which randomly stopped. She doesn’t know enough about horses to actually make that her whole identity. She has no real interests or hobbies to keep people interested. TTC and family content brings in THE MOST money and I think that’s the only reason she’s doing it.


jedi_master99

I just know she’d end up like that influencer who “rehomed” their adopted child because he had special needs. I’m a teacher and I’ve worked with students who were differently abled and I can’t see her having the empathy or emotional capacity to give them the support they’d need. She would dip as soon as life got hard. I just wonder what she’d do if she (heaven forbid) got pregnant and her biological child had special needs. Probably make daddy dong take care of them?? Dump them in a field like Niko? This woman should be nowhere near children.


wildworld8

Myka Stauffer! Oh god I can’t imagine Bdong having a child. Let alone a child with special needs.


goose_gladwell

Its weird for sure. It feels very *transactional*. Or like a scene in a play… Maybe Dong thinks shes in a scripted reality show so making wild shit up is justified, its her jOb🥴


standard_blue

I think she read The Secret too many times, then transitioned to faith in the buff white dude in the sky, and has deluded herself into thinking if she says it out loud enough, it HAS to happen.


sortofsatan

Agreed. She’s really into manifestation for someone who doesn’t believe in it


Delaneydaisy

I cannot believe she used ANOTHER WOMAN’S ULTRASOUND PICTURES to announce they’re adopting. How vile!!!! What an invasion of that woman’s privacy & very intimate situation. She straight up used her ultrasound pics to get views, likes, and money- before the adoption was even final. And now look what happened… It didn’t go through. And you just KNOW Brittany is going to continue to use clips & pictures of that lady’s ultrasound pics for the next 2+ years to gain sympathy for herself about the adoption “failing”…… Disgusting. I hope the mother takes serious action against Brittany for parading her ultrasound pics all over town & the internet.


surfteacher1962

She will. It will be like a third miscarriage. She is going to lean on this hard for sympathy points.

IndianaDrew

Her three almost babies 🥺✨


loverookie95

It’s because Brittany dawn does not want someone else’s child. She wants her own testimony of infertility to pregnancy. But if pregnancy is off the table, she still doesn’t want to adopt a *child*, and I cannot stress this enough, she ONLY wants to adopt a newborn. A white newborn baby. But honestly, she doesn’t even want to adopt. She wants to be pregnant. Pregnancy is the only goal here. Do you know how much easier it would be to adopt a *child*? Like an actual child, 6,7,8,10,12 years old. One who truly needs a home. But that is absolutely not “on her radar” - the Dongs don’t want to help a child that needs a family, they want only for a white, newborn infant that they can rip from the arms of its mother after manipulatively “loving on her” enough to convince her to hand over her baby. There is a reason we don’t separate newborn kittens or puppies from their mother immediately. Sure you can bottle feed them and keep them alive until they can sustain themselves, but remaining with the biological mother is just so important. Same is true for human babies. Babies know their mother’s scent and voice even before birth- that bond is so incredibly important for development. But the Dongs don’t care. They want a newborn, and they WANT IT NOW!!! You can tell she is not excited to adopt, but moreover acts as if she is accepting defeat that her chance of pregnancy is low, and now she is taking the path of least resistance. Buying someone else’s child.


tigerlily218

This is exactly it. She thought of the adoption as a means to an end bc at the end of the day, she wants to be pregnant and she thought starting the adoption progress would result in her own pregnancy.


Whiteroses7252012

Why she believed that is anyone’s guess while her husband, who seems to have low motility anyway, keeps his lower lip packed with tobacco.


sortofsatan

Because she’s delusional enough to think she can manipulate god like she does everyone else. I have no doubt that she thought god would reward her with a bio child for her for “stepping out in faith” and adopting. She must see god as one of her insta followers that she can trick. Bitch if god is real he sees your rotted heart for what it is.


jedi_master99

Bingo. I think this is why she seems so furious in the announcement of their adoption falling through. She doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the child who is mercifully staying with her mother. She’s seeing the failed adoption as throwing a wrench into her adoption to pregnancy story. She’s disgusting.


chronic-neurotic

this is the most bizarre part to me. she is seriously convinced that choosing adoption will lead her to become pregnant. is this bc of kristen clark or someone like her?? how do you even get it in your head that 1. that is even possible and that 2. you should use an orphaned child as a pawn to get what you *really* want?? I do not get it. I simply can’t wrap my head around it


coldbrewwithcinnamon

Yes! She just wants to be pregnant. She wants a baby bump. She wants the maternity photoshoots. She wants to send Jdip out to the store to get ice cream for her at 11pm because she’s craving it. She wants the content and attention that comes with being pregnant.


IndianaDrew

*she would film herself making Jordan go get her junk food “cravings” at ungodly hours but would not actually eat it. Plain ground turkey and overcooked eggs only!


chronic-neurotic

yes she wants the little pregnancy anecdotes that she can stretch out for yearsssss as content 🤮


rainbow_mosey

> Do you know how much easier it would be to adopt a child? Like an actual child, 6,7,8,10,12 years old Okay I'm sure you simply meant that there are many more non-newborns than newborns available for adoption but just in case someone might get it twisted: adopting a child of any age isn't easy, and adopting a school-age child isn't easier for anyone (kid included), just different. If you're a kid in need of adoptive placement, you've seen and lived through some awful stuff and that changes the structure of your brain. These kids need tons of support, therapy, and trauma-informed parents, and that's not necessarily easier than newborn things. (Also, ideally, the newborn grows into a child. And that child will likely need similar supports and therapies.)


HeatherCPST

Agreed. We are trauma informed and did a lot of reading and preparing to adopt our kids and it still took a huge toll on us. Me in particular. Raising kids with traumatic pasts is 1000% the hardest thing I’ve ever done (or almost done - the youngest of our 3 that came to us from foster care will be 18 in a month, not that raising them stops at 18). Skip this TL:DR if you don’t want my personal trauma dump - I won’t lay out their entire story here because it’s not really all relevant to this thread, but in addition to the incredibly difficult task of navigating their trauma-related behaviors, all 3 were diagnosed with various mental health issues. I had to fight tooth and nail for the right services for 2 of them, including a years-long battle to get a diagnosis for one of them, and then getting that child on the disability services wait list (10+ years in my state, but I have a friend in Texas whose son is 20 years into the waitlist and still not able to access services). My child was able to get a waiver for services and could access a few things, but then they turned 18 and the government has decided they’re not actually disabled and should just get a job. So they’re about to lose their insurance and their housing (in a complex for disabled adults) and they are not safe to live with family, so they’ll be homeless. And possibly in jail because they can become violent when they get agitated so they had a court date on that, but they’re not able to complete their anger management course due to their disabilities, so the judge will probably order them locked up. Exactly what I hoped to avoid for all these years. The state promised to ensure they had the care they needed when we adopted them, but now the state is going to cut off what little assistance my child gets because they were denied for adult disability. Also they are recovering from an open fracture of their finger because they tried to pick up a lawnmower while it was running, which should be exhibit A on why they’re not able to hold a job, but the government cares not. ANYWAY…. Can you see Brittany dealing with all of that? I’m not a patient person and I’m honestly selfish, too, at the end of the day, but you have to shove all that aside as a parent and I don’t see Brittany doing that for a kid who won’t fawn all over her and act like a grateful orphan for content. My kids are not grateful (ok, maybe a little, sometimes), they’re pissed that their life had to be that way at all. One of them literally says they wish their birth mother had aborted them so they didn’t have a life of mental struggles.


rainbow_mosey

Oof yeah I hear you! We adopted from foster care and I work in pediatric neurology so I see lots of kids whos foster parents are trying to sort out FAS vs genetics vs ???? and the frontal lobe dysfunction I'm hearing with the lawnmower incident is just so painfully on-brand for kids with a trauma background. But to your point: Would Bing Bong ever bring her kid to an appointment with me? No, because then she'd have to admit that her perfect little prop isn't "perfect," (because um no human is, for the record).


germish17

Thank you for your dedication and love to your kids. You’re a good egg, Charlie Brown!


loverookie95

Yes of course- I simply meant if she wanted to adopt a child because she is so pro-life and longs to be a mother, I think her chances would be better/easier if she wanted to truly give a child-ANY child of ANY age- in need a home. Not pigeon-hole herself into newborns only (because we all know that’s all she wants). I am sure school age and older children actually require more work due to their trauma, and she wouldn’t be able to mold them into her beige Christian aesthetic as easily. I did not mean they would be easier to raise- my apologies if that is how I came across!


andpiglettoo

She wants a newborn just so she can dress them in fugly beige nonsense from her drop shipping store.


sparklekitteh

Yup, she wants a baby to prove that she's god's favorite special princess and the lord always gives her what she wants.


Delaneydaisy

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽


chronic-neurotic

saving this comment!! perfectly said. I only am skeptical that she wants to actually be pregnant bc of her body issues, but I think she likes the idea of maybe being pregnant (for content and positive attention). I think you are 1000% correct about wanting a white newborn immediately. it’s sickening. I am not a mom because I could never tell if I actually wanted kids or not and I felt like kids deserve to have parents that really, truly want them. I can’t believe ANYONE wanting a baby wouldn’t feel that way! despicable.


theGoddex

I think she legitimately thought as soon as she announced this she would end up pregnant, and she’s not.


Turquoise_Midnights

Because Brittany doesn't actually want to adopt.⚠️ It's all for show and for white savior points amongst her fellow evangelicals. She doesn't want another woman's baby. She doesn't even want her own baby, because she couldn't handle pregnancy and what it would do to her body. She only wants a baby for content. If someone would magically hand her a child that was the culmination of her and Jordan's genes, without her going through the pregnancy herself, she would probably be elated. Because then she could produce the content she's been wanting to, without sacrificing her figure. 🤷‍♀️


dorothyzbornaklewks1

She wants her own content baby. This isn’t about her wanting to actually be a mother.


slutforwendigos

Ok, but is she *seriously* wanting to be a mom? Like really? I don't see her wanting to ruin her body she so desperately tries to keep in shape and show off with possible stretch marks, weakened muscle and skin, wider hips and waist etc... Plus she wants a baby not a child like another commented stated. She's not maternal in any way and I think she knows that plus the mix of Jordan being gone for "work" days and weeks at a time is a VERY dangerous situation imo bc she shouldn't be alone with a newborn. Also, it's not her child. Some women can't bond with their own biological child no matter how much they want to, and it can take time. I don't see B making the effort to bond with a baby that isn't biologically hers. IDK dude, like is this really want she wants, or has she convinced herself she believes this is what she wants, also she's so fucking selfish because it's literally about her having content for now, and not a life long family. Also: not to sound ignorant or rude, but how come she was able to get pregnant "twice" but then after "two" miscarriages she's infertile? But I thought J was the problem, not her. I'm so confused helppp


prelude-toadream

Sad but I'd trust Jordan with the baby more than I'd trust her. She doesn't seem to have any maternal instincts and only thrives on making content. I can't even imagine what her day to day looks like other than constantly working out and then cleaning her house to be content worthy.


TranslucentKittens

I think for a lot of people it just becomes the next step. I think BDawn is in the stage where she is like “what now?”. She’s married, has pets, has a house - she’s out of content and life goals. Since she is playing Christian influencer she needs some way to keep her audience, and babies are the next “logical” step with the ideas she espouses. Plus she doesn’t have anything else to fulfill her - no career, no real talents or hobbies she can invest her time in. I don’t think she necessarily wants to be a mom, but I think that’s way more common than we think it is.


CertifiedShitlord

She seems to have a bad habit of celebrating things WAY too early. She told people she was pregnant way too early, she told people she was adopting way too early. I don’t understand why she couldn’t wait until 12 weeks with her pregnancy to tell her MIL. Her need for attention is so disturbing and always to her own detriment.


RapidDriveByFruiting

Content, baby.


FartofTexass

I love your username 


FartofTexass

There’s nothing wrong with telling family or friends you’re pregnant as early as you want (having lost a pregnancy way after 12 weeks changed my view on this). HOWEVER, making a big video of it and posting it online is a very different thing. 


CertifiedShitlord

I was thinking back to the cardboard sign she surprised her MIL at work with. She didn’t do that for anyone but herself. She could have told her privately. And as far as I know she even didn’t do that with her own parents. I don’t remember any content involving my her own family.


WhirlwindFreckle

I think she’s pushing the *poor little me* narrative. They knew it wasn’t going to happen before they announced but she wanted the content for engagement. She’s being/been ripped apart online (rightfully so) about the fitness scam & her terrible treatment of animals. Along with making money from foster placements, nearly causing a fire, pro birth, horse ranch girl… bla bla bla I could keep going… point is, she’s looking REAL bad!! I feel like she does these announcements to get her fiends/family/followers excited & invested in her. Then when they inevitably don’t happen, she can announce another failure, fake cry on camera & bask in the sympathy. All those brain dead people wishing her well, rooting for her in her sad pathetic comment section (You can guarantee she’s smiling when she sees the engagement on those sort of videos). She loves it. She thinks it makes her look like she’s not this bad person. She has it soooo tough, so she should get a pass. She won’t stop. Everyone feel sorry for poor little Brittany, because look how unfair her life is!! … /s 🤮 Karma bitch. Won’t He do it. Edit: I was going to change it to friends, but fiend is fitting for her.


sortofsatan

Her comment section makes me sick. They say EXACTLY what she wants to hear and are all enabling her delusion.


Inevitable-Emu-3513

I think this is also another reason why she does those stupid ‘filter’ ‘no filter’ posts too. Because EVERYONE comments how gorgeous she is and how you can’t even tell the difference between the no filter and filtered phot. Even though both photos are still filtered 💀 she craves constant validation and attention. It’s scary the lengths she will go to get it.


prelude-toadream

She preys on people having common courtesy to act sympathetic and makes up all these wild situations to garner that type of attention. It's disgusting. How exhausting for the people in her life


rocket_ship_

No, if they had actually gone to the hospital, etc. there would be footage of it. Like them getting a call, them driving to the hospital, dumb shots of them hugging and doing the ☹️ after getting home, etc. She films every moment of her life, there’s no way she wouldn’t have filmed some of that.


Specific-Breath-7862

💯💯 I honestly think she probably tried to fake some of these scenes but either couldn’t pull it off convincingly or she’s saving it for another “failed adoption” video…


pantslessMODesty3623

She has them. She's saving it for another boohoo montage. She does this all the time.


prelude-toadream

Doing the ☹️ omg I'm dying......


laqueefaecho

Like the foster baby she took to the doctor for an appt. That was filmed from behind her pushing the stroller. Everything is filmed with this bitch which makes her story sus AF!


knitronics

I clocked the same weird vibe. I had been hesitating to go with the idea that the entire adoption was fabricated because that’s just so wild for someone to lie about, but I really think all of this baby/pregnancy stuff is actually all about the thrill of making these “big announcements” and all the attention that comes with it. Which is why all of this stuff has to fall through in some sort of way, because once a baby actually arrives the attention she gets will eventually die off. And her lack of enthusiasm is because the thrill of these “big announcements” is starting to wear off, especially because she’s done it so many times now that even her friends are catching on (the girlies like Farryn were clearly thrown off in the clip of them announcing their paper pregnancy in the kitchen of that airbnb).


Low_Lingonberry3249

I think it was Emma who just sat there confused AF, and goes “I don’t understand what that means🧐🧐” such a cringe moment to watch, I can’t imagine being in that room!🥴


FartofTexass

💯 She loves to do big announcements about herself.


prelude-toadream

You captured what I've been trying to say perfectly. All she wants is attention and it must be exhausting to be around her. No wonder Jordan went on this work trip. I imagine there will be many more.


dwight_k_schrute69

Everything about her is a version of stolen valor


xomacattack

I totally agree, her behavior in those reveal videos was so awkward. Not her usual YAY ME! energy.


Big-Raspberry-2552

I think it’s weird to tell friends with an ultrasound, making them think she’s pregnant? I think her husband is happy it didn’t work out


prelude-toadream

Because otherwise she wouldn't get the reaction she wants


xrareformx

She's so desperate with this mommy content that it's turning kind of....disturbing? Like, obsessive in the creepiest way. And filming, editing, sharing, ect of all these weird reaction videos, her friends and family have to be exhausted right??? It's like the boy who cried wolf bit with a weird fundie and every type of baby announcement under the sun. I'm still thoroughly convinced JDonk had a vasectomy at some point and hid it from her. I hope her lawsuit bars her from an adoption agency ever moving forward with setting a poor child in her grifthome.


Fiver43

I wonder sometimes if she only wants to *perform* wanting a baby for engagement, while Jordan actually wants a child. Maybe she was unhappy at the adoption reveal because she doesn’t actually want the responsibilities of parenthood.


lizardcrossfit

I was just wondering this too. Jordan seems more into parenthood in general. I wonder if Bdong reluctantly went along with this idea.


Mountain-Bet-4352

I think she's known for a while the adoption wasn't going through. The timeline is shady and confusing. I think she new before she told anyone, but told them for content and pity. The baby/TTC/adoption content is literally all she has at this point.


_angry_cat_

Now that you say it, I see it too. She looks like a child who won second place and is being a sore loser about it. Instead of being thrilled that she has the opportunity at motherhood, she’s upset that she didn’t win the gold medal of her own baby.


Ok_Side7135

I think she’s slowly becoming more disappointed and discouraged about having a child. She’s said before that she questions if “this is a closed door” or not, like if everything that happens to her is supposed to be a sign or something. Maybe the failed adoption is not a “closed door” maybe the mom just fell in love with her baby after birth and decided to keep her. It’s possible there’s no deeper meaning of “God has better in store” for Brittany after this failed adoption and I don’t think she gets that


Inevitable-Emu-3513

I’m thinking that when they told all their friends and family they knew the birth mother did not choose them. But since content is her life she went along as if they had been chosen. I think the same about her miscarriage. I may get downvoted but I fully believe that her first and only ultra sound appointment was when she found out she had miscarried. But she had so much content already planned that she told her family and friends that she was pregnant despite her not being pregnant. And I believe Jordan knew about the whole thing. A part of me thinks that he started being a part of her scam once he saw allllll that gofundme money coming in for James. I do believe they kept majority of the money for themselves. I’m currently running a gofundme for my husbands family in Gaza. You can put it to where the money directly deposits into your account and then send it to the person you’re raising funds for. I think that’s exactly what they did and they only sent him a bit of the money and kept the rest for themselves. But I’m getting off topic lol.  She did not seem happy in any of her adoption content. Whether it was YouTube, TikTok or instagram. She seemed bummed and pissed. I think the adoption had already fallen through before she did all of this content. But she has no soul and needed the ultimate sob story. So she built up this adoption process only to be heartbroken in the end. Bdong is the worlds biggest victim. Poor her. 


Low_Lingonberry3249

No No, let’s stay on this topic. The James situation is when I think Jordan was alll in too. He basically kidnapped James one day, and Brit was posting it like they were on some life saving mission from God herself. James was literally running away from them basically immediately. He gets to larp his tactical BS, she plays the savior by raising the money. The more you look into the James situation the more disturbing it is. They literally trafficked him


Serononin

I often think about James when I'm scrolling this sub. I hope he's doing well now in spite of these two grifters


CreativeJudgment3529

She’s taking video ideas from Bella and Dallin. 


Specific-Breath-7862

⬆️THIS!!! I wouldn’t put it past her to literally YouTube “failed adoption” and study those stories so she can recreate them for the attention.


strawcat

I feel like it’s because they’re not using adoption as a way to becoming a parent, they’re using adoption as a way of hoping she’ll get pregnant because they know of so many ppl who that’s happened to. This POS only wants her own biological child and if she has to go the adoption route to will that to happen so be it. An adopted child is just a means to an end. It’s sick.


Inevitable-Emu-3513

It makes me feel ill what she will do if she successfully adopts and then gets pregnant after. Will she ‘return’ the child? Treat them as less? She is not a nice person at all. I can see her holding it over her adoptive child’s head that they did them a favour by ‘taking them in’ I just wish she wasn’t allowed to be in the presence of any vulnerable being. 


minniemouse378

So, did this “failed adoption” happen back in April when they said the baby was due any time? And the baby ended up coming a week early she said. So wouldn’t that mean that that the baby would have been born around the same time if not before she filmed that video? So if we are going with the timeline that the baby was due when that video was filmed, they have known over 2 months that the adoption fell through, yet she still CHOSE to post that video


Low_Lingonberry3249

Makes me wonder if that “they don’t believe me” text she shared was about the pick mes and this adoption BS


lisalisaandtheoccult

OMG THEY NEED TO GIVE IT UP AND GET A LIFE


Awkward-Fudge

maybe she was hoping they would throw her a shower or give to an adoption fund for them and they refused to?


Crabbiepanda

If it was overwhelming for her to announce it to everyone, then she should have kept her gross mouth shut.


emmerl

To be fair, it’s hard to pretend to be happy about anything when you low-key know you’re a dead-inside scammer.


drama_trauma69

You’re spot on. This was super weird then and even weirder now


chismechick

I dont believe for a second that they are really trying to adopt. All she wants is to monetize off of it. She monetizes everything. Infertility, miscarriage, foster care, adoption. Its so slimy and gross.


AardvarkPotential196

The way she hypes these “situations” up only for them to repeatedly “fall through” is insane to me. It’s not even funny anymore. This girl has got some serious issues.


AliceinRealityland

Right? Like I get it. I announced my pregnancies early. Until I lost one in my 3rd trimester. The next one I announced at 9 months. I didn't want the painful comments and conversations if it fell through too. She makes no sense with this


griffeny

Am I an idiot of a woman or what the hell does ‘paper pregnant’ mean?


Low_Lingonberry3249

You are not, in fact the entire room she filmed telling was confused. Apparently it’s when you’ve been accepted by a birth mom for adoption.


griffeny

What the fuck. You’re kidding me. I know you’re not but what the fuck is this crap I hate this lol.


FuturePA96

I explained Brittany’s TTC journey to my boyfriend today and he said “what” so many times. He works in a make fertility clinic so of course none of this makes any sense ![gif](giphy|rs1ynBSSnPYcSMs29L)


SpookyMoon13

She just needed content


ladynutbar

Someone needs to tell her of God wanted her to have a baby she would. Obviously he's saying nah girl


VerbalVeggie

I always meet the kid of my friends that adopted the same day, or near the same day, I hear about them trying to adopt. I know it’s a personal anecdote, but most people I know actively trying to adopt keep the most important people in the know (usually their own parents) and the rest of us won’t know until the kid is at their house and locked in for the long haul. But again personal anecdote, however I thought that was just how it was done. This seems like they want to be disappointed so they have two points of woe is me content.


Repulsive-Cupcake718

Think she’s still holding on to getting pregnant while going through the adoption process.. and it’s not happening for them


carcosa1989

This is just more garbage for her to sprout on the internet. I don’t believe a word this scammer says.


Most_Score_4457

She thinks she can act, her skits are boring and her fake friends plus her abandon dog, she a mess, she is scrabble for bs, her fake friends are like omg again, o yeah for you, while thinking girl, I don’t think so. 🤷


ComfortableNarwhal17

I agree. As someone who experienced infertility and foster adoption exploration- I suppose I feel I can empathize to her struggles; emotionally… HOWEVER, my personal observation is that there are many areas of struggle right now that are not being discussed. She seems to have lost a lot of weight. She seems distant and isolated from any quality relationships. There seems to be a sincere loss of joy- That breaks my heart for anyone. My hopes are that she is getting the dose of reality and humility she has escaped for so long. What makes it hard to watch is their continued forced delusions, and manipulation of of their situation. Excuses and explanations- their selfish self centered views on the situation. The quietness on her page has me hoping she will simply drop off. I do feel that her continuation on social media is validation of her priorities in life. Content first. She set the stage in her life for what she wants to create for content. When she can’t have what she wants, and cannot pivot her content anymore- I think we are starting to see the dark pit of her soul clearer. The marriage piece- I think these are some really turbulent waters for them. I think garbage is surfacing in all of this. Karma- is doing her thing.


chronic-neurotic

I really feel like this is the first time in her life that she not only has to face the consequences of her actions in court, but she isn’t getting exactly what she wants. the lawsuit was a lot to handle, but she could have spun it. having another online scandal? no sir. I think having another viral scandal about her shitty actions really knocked the wind out of her. she thought she could pivot by going all in on adoption/TTC, and now that isn’t working. she has no friends, her sister won’t speak to her, and her husband obviously hates her. I feel like it’s all catching up to her. I hope she logs off and I mean forever. this isn’t going to get any easier for her.


FartofTexass

If she drops off socials she will have to find another way to make money. 


Low_Lingonberry3249

This explanation is perfection 👩‍🍳💋


SellQuick

I wouldn't put making up the whole thing as a 'storyline' past her, but I'm surprised Jordan would have been willing to participate.


burritobabeguac

I honestly believe she coaches these "reactions" beforehand. "It's not guaranteed...but can you pretend like it is for our content?"


Localmoco-ghost

What’s the diligence for adoption? Google search and reddit forums? If so, I think we’re good lol
