On November 4, Zeinab released a 45-minute vlog where they documented the emotional yet fulfilling process of the legal adoption. After a long process, the content creator happily remarked that her children, Lucas and Zebbiana, are officially bearing the Parks surname.
“Kung may pangarap ako sa buhay ko ngayon, hindi na materyal. Ang pinakapangarap ko talaga is magkaroon kami ng birth certificate na pare-parehas kami ng apelyido,” Zeinab shared. “And Daddy Ray came, binaba [siya] galing sa langit”
“Blessing lang naman ako. Instrument lang naman ako ni God,” Bobby Ray noted. “And it takes a wonderful woman such as yourself to allow me to lead and to be the head of the family.”
The couple shared that the adoption process was not easy, as they had to undergo multiple psychological and medical assessments. However, they said it was “all worth it.” They also added that the goal of the video was not only to share their personal journey but also to give couples, parents, and single mothers an idea of how the legal adoption process works, as some people may still be unfamiliar with it.
In the video, the couple also revealed that they had lengthy conversations with her son, Lucas, prior to the adoption process. Still, they were grateful that their children had so much love and acceptance for their father.
“Bago pa sa ibang tao manggaling, mas okay na sa amin manggaling ‘yung mga ganitong bagay,” the content creator said.
Lucas is the 27-year-old vlogger’s adopted son, while Bia is her biological daughter with her former partner, Skusta Clee.
