Hi. I think they are Quebec canadians.
Are they living in france
Quebec
She was so cute
wow she can kick and passed the test right?. That was years ago. Hope she is thriving in her loving family n home today and doing well her studies
Bless you both for giving this child a permanent, loving home. I'm sure the returns are manifold. If only I had the courage...
Precious baby girl!!!
aloha, just returned from an 18 day trip to Beijing, Huining and Dingxi. We were granted special access through a foreign NGO and was blessed to visit several orphanages, schools for the disabled, a remote school in a mountain which we blessed them with clothes, school supplies. It was the most spiritual moving experience for me. I love everything about this country and cannot wait to return next year. Just though I'd share. Love the children there, so much life and love.
She's so beautiful.

That can be a good thing because then you know they're still able to form attachments. Some children who have been neglected lose that ability because they learn early on there is nobody they can count on/trust.
Oh, I don't know :) she looks pretty happy to me :) There's no reason they can't be involved in Chinese culture and the Chinese community as they grow. Maybe they'll study in China some day,,maybe they'll adopt from China some day :) what matters is they are healthy and happy and proud of who they are :)
why did they lost their chance to really be chinese? if they are chinese they will be chinese their whole life, you can incorporate the chinese culture in your home
YoLy Candelaria Chinese culture is so beautiful and complex that no none Chinese could ever do it full justice. But by reminding her of her roots and encouraging her to seek out her culture they will be doing an amazing job. Most times the child if old enough to understand chooses to "drop" the Chinese part and even refuse to continue to speak it at all. My friends adopted a little 5 year old they had set up a place in a local Chinese community school for her to attend there so she could begin to be taught English while retaining her existing Chinese. She went for about six months then just declared no more and refused to continue to attend or if she could completely disrupt any class where it was solely in Chinese. She's 16 now and has recently decided to go back for next two years Chinese was never completely lost but it's at a child's level. She wants to be able to communicate when her parents and her returns there for her 21st birthday no one tried to stop her being herself and that was of course Chinese but when younger all she wanted to do was to fit into her new life as she was old enough to be able to differentiate between them and she told us later that she thought if she forgot how to be Chinese they couldn't send her back not that that was ever even an issue but in her childish way she knew she didn't want to go back to orphanage poor kids breaks my heart to think someone I love and cherish was so afraid AND WE DIDNT KNOW AT THE TIME HER DAD THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE AN ISSUE BUT NEVER THAT ONE SO THE POOR KID SUFFERED TILL HER ENGLISH WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO TELL US WHY SHE DIDNT WANT TO KEEP UP CHINESE SCHOOL OR CULTURE IN HER HOME.
The most adorable child in the entire world! I'm only 18, but I SWEAR I will be adopting once I'm old enough! Oh, and I have to ask, before I go - what's the name of the first song? It's lovely!
We do not adopt through a website. We adopt through an adoption agency. We do not choose our child, It is luck that ours just happen to be so adorable.
其實, 我個人也想要到大陸去領養一個小孩! 我是台灣人.
Thankyou for sharing your video, the song chosen is so beautiful and to see Myandra touch and fall in love with her Daddy on first meeting just melted my heart. God Bless you all...
Myandra I made up at the time but but Maila I came across

Beijing Angelic Choir, It is their Chinese Lullibies album, every song is amazing
Maybe your right my daughters will never really understand what it is to be Chinese. We sometimes say they are like bananas yellow on the outside but white inside. They lost their chance to really be chinese when we adopted them. But they gained a family that will love them dearly for the rest of their lives and we are trying very hard that they be proud of their origines, because we are.
You guys are a beautiful family!
aww she is adorable! How awesome! I am a birthmom and my daughter is 5, its an open adoption
This makes me smile.. Such a beautiful baby, how lucky she is and how lucky you are. :)
I love this video! And you are so lucky to have her.. She is beautiful and now she has a family that will love her forever. So she is lucky too. :) How old was she when you got her? I always ask this when I see Gotcha-videos, since I am interested in how old are the children given for adoption. It depends on the parents, their age, I think?
The music is beautiful and your daughter is adorable.
What a beautiful video. Can you give me the song name? It was very enchanting. Would love to do yoga to that song. =)
An amazing and beautiful video.
Hello! My name is Maila too. My ancestors are from China. What a beautiful story this is! It brought tears to my eyes. It's good to know Maila will have a good life now. I hope to adopt a girl someday too but it is too expensive. You are truly blessed.
@danpt2000 I don't understand why people always critisize people who adopt from other countries. About them not knowing their culture. When in truth most adoptive parents will educate them selves about their child's place of origin and will make sure to give their child that knowledge of there culture. Their are also many things like ethnic festivals "even chinese ones. arts, food etc. All over the country. Parents they want understand their child's background, to fully understand their child.
Adorable daughters. Their names are different, did you make them up? Or where did you find or come across them?
it's a touching video, and the baby is sooo cute! lovely little cheeks! Love to see her smile
omg ADORABLE!! that smile cracks me up!
It was it was very hard for her and it was hard for us to see her mourn so deeply.
Beautiful and touching music. Her nanny in China looked like a kind and gentle lady. I love that smile at 5.01! Simply heart winning. All the blessings to your family.
She acted like she was very attached to the woman that handed her over....
What a beautiful family :) My husband and I have been wanting to adopt since we met, but it's so expensive! Someday we will :) God bless you and your family!
You are really lucky to make adoption a dream come true for your family. In my country it is very difficult. I wish you enjoy each moment that is given to you by the Lord
you are so kind people. Thank you very much!!
This video made me cry. Your daughter is absolutely adorable, you must be so proud. God bless you all x
A note to let you know that there are some comments I will not approve st this time. The reason for this is: I made this video as a gift to my daughter. She is only 5 years old at this time and can not understand the social issues behind her adoption. We will explain it to her in a loving way when she can understand it. For now we want her to understand that there are more reasons for her to be proud of her heritage than to be ashamed.
Marlene Cournoyer well said mum
beautiful
She's a doll.
good luck to you and your family! moved every time watching such adoption vid
She's so sweet and adorable! It sucks that children are left on the street because of their parents or circumstances. She is a very lucky baby. She is lucky to have found you and I'm sure vice versa! All the best.
You have saved a baby from a dreary future. You are blessed with a heart of gold.
I was tickled pink the day I was given my first two foster babies. They went on to be adopted by fabulous people.
Just love her smile at 4:59! I can tell from the clip that she is a very smart little one. Thank you for sharing this precious and very fine edited video, it fills my heart with love and warmth everytime I watch this.
