    She's so lovely and it must've been so hard waiting for her to know she was really at home. Thank you for sharing this sacred journey.

    I love watching the gotcha day videos. I love watching the babies go from petrified to still and quiet observing. Then by the same night or very next day they are smiling and playing. How quickly a mothers love wraps itself around her new baby and they begin to bond. Daddys too. Amazing what a lil love can do.

    Hoje essa criança deve estar com uns 19, 20 anos. Graças à Deus que foi adotada, porque muitas nessa época morreram. Como será que ela está agora? Feliz? Com certeza! Abraços.

    All the toys and candy at the time of adoption are not going to help their heartbreak. It takes time. They always end up very happy within days maybe hours. I think these kids should be adopted earlier. I notice the older they are the more traumatic it is. That is not the adoptive parents fault.

      Actually, we now know that there is no adoption without trauma...even in the case of a newborn baby, who is less capable of expressing their grief. I'm a Bioethicist and this is the current focus of my work. You can track on MRI how the trauma of adoption literally changes the way the brain maps in newborn babies and infants.
      Paula Thomson, Ph.D., “Early pre- and post-natal experiences, including early trauma, are encoded in the implicit memory of the fetus, located in the subcortical and deep limbic regions of the maturing brain. These memories will travel with us into our early days of infancy and beyond and more importantly, these early experiences set our ongoing physiological and psychological regulatory baselines.”

      Reborn Snuzzles that is very interesting but some of the children that are adopted seem very happy right from the start while the older ones seem devastated. 2-3 .

      @@kerri759 Some of adopted children seem happy. Yes, that is true, that they seem happy. What is really happening behind closed doors, knows parents of those children. In some or many cases adopted children suffer on many ways and because of that need professional help. Don't judge based on some photos where children are laughing in new clothes. Only some of very open parents are ready to speak weather or how their children passed the transition after adopting. I don't refer for a second on this family on whose channel we are commenting, just commenting in general.

      @mortalclown3812 Місяць тому

      Lisa, you're urged to look into the adoption process they've used for many years: it establishes trust - insofar as possible - between the child and the adults in their lives. It helps to assuage against the feeling that they have been taken.

      She was attached to her Nanny. That's why she was sad at being totally upended in her life. She got quite happy by the end of the video, smiling and accepting both her mother and me. She is now 21 and an A student at Georgia Tech. She's a great daughter and I am so proud.
