  1. Happy Birthday Michael‼️❤️ Praying that you will have a wonderful day. Praying that the Lord will bless you and your husband with a baby this year! Praying the same for my son and daughter-in-law who also struggle with infertility.😒 They had conceived but the Lord took the baby to Heaven at six weeks old. May the Lord bless you both with a child this year. Praying that UPTV will change its mind and leave your family on their lineup! I’ve been trying to persuade them with messages and texts!πŸ’•God Bless You!

    1. Why do you mention this couple's infertility? ARen't you concerned you are causing her pain? Why not ask about her nursing or Brandon's books?

    2. This is an extremely personal issue and I wish you wouldn’t have brought it up. We just need to wish her Happy Birthday. Why bring up her infertility? That will only cause her pain. It might make you feel good to talk about it, but you need to realize it could make her sad. If you want to pray for them then do so, but leave them alone unless they bring up that subject.

    3. Whether or not someone else is having children or facing infertility isn't a topic that people should broach. It's being insensitive to a matter that's personal.

  8. I was wondering if Michael still has her online store for baby items she makes and if so how I can find it.

  10. Happy Birthday. Even if nothing can be done for your infertility, you can adopt newborn babies together since there are plenty of newborn babies that need parents like you.

    1. Where did you get the idea that there are plenty of newborns available for adoption? Unfortunately, there are a great many older children waiting for permanent homes because most couples wishing to adopt prefer infants.

    2. It could be Brandon who is infertile. Why do you assume it is Michael?

    3. Michaela explained on an Instagram story that they prefer to keep things private in this department for now. BTW, there aren't "plenty of newborn babies" available for adoption- older children, yes, but not infants.

    4. I’m saddened that you would bring this up. Why can’t we just wish her a happy birthday without bringing up a VERY personal issue. I’m sure they are smart enough to realize they could adopt without you bringing it up. That’s inappropriate.

    5. I feel for Michael having to read or hear comments like this all the time.

    6. 111:47 I feel bad for her that so many people seem to only associate her with infertility, as if that somehow defines her as a person.

    7. She is a nurse and can really help people. This is fantastic! Now she can be outside of her home and get a job.

  14. Happy Birthday, Michael! I have always admired you, your kind personality, and your amazing maturity. You are beautiful inside and out. Best wishes to you and Brandon.

  15. She is a true Christian. Modest and her husband as a leader of the home.

    1. So you can judge who is a “true Christian?” Only God can do that. Interesting that the Bible defines Christianity differently.

      Delete
    2. Wearing long dresses or being under the authority of a husband DOES NOT make you a "true" or any kind of Christian.

      Delete
    3. I agree. It just makes you submissive.

      Delete
    4. Wow. Sounds like you're declaring a lot of women as unChristian if they wear jeans and are in a marriage where the husband doesn't have power and authority over the them. Your definition of a Christian woman makes her not only vulnerable to loss of autonomy, but physical and emotional abuse. No thanks.

  17. Would someone please explain her name? Michael?

    1. They named her after a woman in the Bible, Michal, but didn't realize they had spelled it the wrong way. Then they started calling her Michaella.

      Delete
    2. I believe they named her Michal and didn’t like it then wanted to change it but the hospital would only let them change it by one letter so they changed it to Michael and call her Michaela for a nick name.

      Delete
    3. Michal was King David’s first wife in the Bible.
