You live in a happy family.

Precious mementoes.

Have been following you since your adoption and love watching your videos, so glad you have grown up into such a lovely person who appreciates all that has been done for you since your birth.

Hi Scarlett! What your parents have done is so touching. The fact that they have preserved all these items with such care and attention is a very unique gift. 🎀 Many children, adopted or not, have not been lucky enough to inherit such a beautiful "box of happiness" like yours. What a precious legacy! From the first moment they held you in their arms, it is clear that your parents loved you deeply and genuinely, and if a few careless remarks about your facial features or skin color led you to feel that being adopted might be a handicap, you're showing us further proof that it's actually the opposite. Your mom and dad have big hearts, and like them, you're a beautiful person too. Let's cherish our differences because they make this world shine even brighter. ✨ Thank you so much for taking the time to share this special moment with us. 💞💐 Patrick

like a zoo, loud and frightening, poor baby

Do you have any idea what your care was like before this moment? Were you in an orphanage or a foster home? I'm wondering because babies often cry like this because they are already bonded with a care giver. So for them, this this isn't just tears because of strangers, but tears because they are taken from the only mother they know. It's a very painful comparison but it's like a kidnapping from the babies perspective, even though it isn't of course. I hear it's actually a good thing when they cry though because it means the child has the ability to form attachments. And you obviously were! Thank you for sharing :) I'm glad you are doing so well today

I'm very happy to know that the trauma you experienced as a baby didnt stay with you throughout your life. At least not in obvious ways. I know some experience rads and other difficulties because of the early trauma

You didn't show the attached bathroom?

Such a cute pillow

Your bed looked so cozy.

How traumatizing for the poor babies!

The video content mainly lacks the record of your growth process, only the video of your adoptive parents going to China to pick you up and you now! If you want more people to follow you ，The growth process is very important!

I love your videos. Yes your Gotcha video was so real and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

She has the voice and cadence to get many more views

Love it

ABC here - I have Chinese parents and never heard of Hanfu before lol. Thanks for sharing!

Han bok

Nice vid Scarlett. If you visit China, you can rent very beautiful Hanfu, have make-up and hair done professionally. As an overseas Chinese myself, identify can be challenging/confusing but I choose to see connecting with my heritage as allowing me to draw from the best from both East and West traditions.

I love hanfu! They are way cuter than a Qipao since their very beautiful, magical and, flowing!

Nice . but I wonder on what occassion would you wear it ?

Absolutely right

This got me sooooooo mad. When they went to get the baby they both were so worried about taking pictures and videos while the baby was crying. They didn’t even try to comfort her at all. Poor little baby is living her home that she knows and these 2 people are not helping her at all.

WOW!!! That beautiful (and upset) little baby is now a lovely, confident, poised young woman. Great day to celebrate!!!

Adorable little angel!!! That first day must have been so emotional for all of you... It was great to see those first smiles.

Scarlett, when you were baby, your mom called you pumpkin you stop crying and then you got used to your parents at the hotel but then cried for a little longer and it was on your mom and then your mom was able to calm me down. She said hi Scarlett hi pumpkin.

Scarlett, you kept crying on your mom when she got you you did the same thing with your dad you thought they were stealing you but no, there’s your parents. It was your mom not a stranger. It’s just your mom Scarlett.

I have a friend from school her name is Lanah she grew up with a Chinese friend and she accidentally called her Friends Mom a bitch. She was trying to say hi to her friends. Mom but accidentally called her a horse bitch by mistake in Chinese.

Scarlett did you ever ask your mom to say a bad word when you’re younger? Did you ever ask her to say the F word or anything like that?

Just one thing. I hope you are a happy girl nowadays.

Charming and heartfelt - best to your Mum and you

Scarlett, you were definitely big when you were a baby. You were crying your head off when your mom grabbed you same thing with your dad crying your head off to your mom and dad. It means you were crying a lot Scarlett.

🖐🏻 I love you thiiiiiiiiiiiiis much 🖐🏻 To the moon and back 🥰😘

It's so wonderful to see that you made such a touching video for your amazing mom. Your love for her is clearly strong and sincere. Likewise, from the 3 photos on your video's thumbnail, we can see from your mom's tender expression that she has always loved you deeply from day one. For sure, the love bond between the two of you is unbreakable. Happy Mother's Day! 💐🎊💖

I hope your mom has a wonderful Mother’s Day . 💐🌹💐. ☘️🇮🇪☘️

Thank you, Scarlett, for sharing such an interesting video! 👍For me, the fact that it's so easy for a beginner to fall into the trap of opening too many doors is the biggest concern I've found when learning a language as ancient and rich as Chinese. I started learning Mandarin when I was in my 50s and came to China for professional reasons. I heard so many different suggestions from both expats and locals, such as learning characters from day one, learning by reading the dictionary or cartoons, learning by listening to songs or the news, and so on, that I felt quite confused. The pitfall is that all of the suggestions can be beneficial at one point or another, but as a beginner, we first have to make choices according to our personal answers to questions such as the following 1- What is my main goal? 2- How much time can I devote to learning? 3- How much money am I willing to invest? 4- What is my experience with learning (other) foreign languages? etc. I mean, it's the same for someone who would say: "I want to learn to play the guitar". So what kind of music does this person want to learn? Classical, jazz, country, pop, rock? Because each of these styles uses a different type of guitar to start with, and the way of playing is also very different. So if we aim "wide", it's easy to go in all directions, whereas we should be narrowing down and prioritizing the steps we want to accomplish FIRST. At that time, I had the unique opportunity to hire a private teacher who agreed to teach me Mandarin using only Pinyin (my request and she accepted), and within 3 to 4 months I was already able to take a taxi by myself (no GPS back then, so I'd say "please turn left", "turn right at the traffic light", "please wait for me, I'll be back in 5 minutes", etc.), have very simple conversations with people, or talk to my colleagues about very basic things. Of course, I didn't know anything (or very little) about characters, literature, calligraphy, etc., but I quickly achieved my first goal of being a little independent, and I was not only super excited, but also super motivated to keep learning. On a personal note, I have never found a better motivation to learn a skill than JOY. And when I finally decided to learn how to write (and read) characters a couple of years later, I was quite surprised to find that it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. This is because I was already familiar with the meaning and pronunciation of many words, as well as how to use them in context. And it was a tremendous help in making the first stage of learning the most common 1000 characters much easier and faster. So, for me, the best method is the one that can get us to the first steps of what we would like to accomplish in a short time. Rather than chasing the one big dream called "fluency", which seems like such a distant mirage that it makes many people give up, I recommend many small successes that can be celebrated. That's the way I feel, anyway, because I was an adult with a full-time job and a family to take care of when I started on my learning journey. If I had been a young student at a university studying Mandarin, I guess I would have been able to swallow a few more complicated steps. That's where everyone's journey is different. That's why there is no such thing as a universal method, because it has to be adapted to everyone's background, experience, situation, and goals. I hope these few thoughts on the vast topic of learning Chinese may inspire anyone reading this post. Happy to have found your great channel and be a new subscriber, Scarlett! 💯 Keep it up! 🏆💐 Patrick

This little one has already become a daddy’s girl

My heart goes out to the little ones they are thrust into the arms of total strangers who don’t even speak their language and all you can hear are people more concerned about taking bloody photos of babies in distress wake up guys just imagine how terrifying it must be for them they are traumatised bless them

Fürchterlich! Babymarkt! Die armen Kinder😢

me wondering if this is an add PIN ME PLS

🌷 "promosm"

This will be a Beautiful story is scary for the babies stranger’s noisy but she’s so brave and what lovely parents you have

is your sister adopted by your parents younger than you ? Is she your biological sister?

Thank you for sharing this Scarlett. So glad to see you're all grown up now and pursuing your passions. You did a great job putting this together. Just love the little moccasins your parents had for you. They are the best things for babies and toddlers to wear for their growing and developing feet. So cute and so very sweet. May God continue to bless your journey through this life.

:(

What people don’t always understand, is not everyone has a connection to birth family. Being able to say “I would like to have my own biological children” for the simple sake of having BIOLOGICAL family is perfectly acceptable and valid. Adoption isn’t for everyone. I don’t think this girl is in any way saying she’s anti adoption. She’s just basically saying “personally adoption wouldn’t be my first choice”. Which.. I mean hell.. since when is that not valid? Lol.

Man, I feel like the first time meeting between the baby and the mother is so bittersweet. I’m sure mom knew..this might not be as picturesque as some would hope. But she seemed to go immediately into maternal confronting mode, and that was beautiful to see.

Thanks for sharing - hope you find what you are looking for. Rules for Korean & Romanian adoptees seem to have recently eased & both "exported" lots of children post war. As you know the population size of China and the one child policy have regrettably made things more difficult. The one exception I stumbled across on UA-cam was Katie Pohler's story , Meet me on the Bridge, made by the BBC as her birth parents pinned a note on her for her adoptive parents when she was left. Very, very rare & potentially dangerous for them. In Europe adoptions seem to be from teenage pregnancies or mothers ' being deserted. I saw one sad story of a teenage mother who felt she could never have any more children as she had given her daughter away. She eventually met her daughter who said she did the right thing given her circumstances & she had a great adoptive family. No blame or forgiveness needed. Anyway - good luck.

I never realized this. Funny I should have.

Thanks for sharing Scarlett! I'm also a bit in-between

It would be lovely for you to find your birth family. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. ☘️🇮🇪☘️
