  • Our story of bringing home our amazing daughter from China in April of 2017. The road to and through adoption is a difficult one paved with loss. This video depicts the joy of bringing our daughter into our family without really sharing the hard stuff. However, make no mistake about it, the hard stuff was worth it.

    We used the HOLT adoption agency and adopted a baby from China back in 1990. She was incredibly gifted and excelled at everything she was interested in. She mastered The violin the oboe the bassoon and a special Chinese stringed instrument.
    she is in her third year residency for pediatric neurosurgery . this has an eight year to nine year residency program . I wish we were young enough to do this again because the years have absolutely flown past on a rocket!

      I like your family very much. I am a seven-year-old Chinese girl, my parents abandoned me when I was 2 years old, I live alone in China now, I am eager to get parents' love,but I can't find my parents. Can you help me? I would greatly appreciate it if you can help me!

    I love this video. I also love your later videos because they all show the silly interactions you have with your daughters. A mom that will make faces and act silly with her children. These are priceless. Your elder daughter is a wonderful big sister and she has the most beautiful, amazing eyes. Hopefully most of the hard stuff is behind you. God bless you and may all of you have joyful lives.

    I've been watching these orphans in Vietnam & was so happy to find your video of adoption. I cried from how beautiful it is. The second you met your new daughter, there was instant love of a mom with her child. Your other daughter was so excited too! Seeing her smile with her new family was absolutely awesome! It's amazing what the power of love can do. Thank you for sharing this

I was so exploring through Instagram, when I saw I came across your profile, honestly, I was amazed by your bright smile, I wonder how you manage to put up with such charming smile, while staring so close, I was urged to message you.. I never thought of talking to a stranger all my life 🤔 😳 , But I would love to read more about you and have a friendly chat too, please keep smiling because your smile is as beautiful as life itself, and Could heal the broken…🌹
