China Adoption: Naomi's 6 Month Update
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лют 2019
- Naomi has been home with our family for over 6 months now since we adopted her from China. After many requests, we decided to give an update with how she's doing. We show some of her "firsts", her first time sledding, first Halloween, first Thanksgiving, first Christmas, and even our family's First Chinese New Year party. Naomi is learning the language quickly and seems to be settling in just fine. She is a joy to our family and we are so grateful she is with us. We LOVE her!
"this is your house, no more changes", that sentence makes me cry many times. thank you for giving naomi a complete home. you americans help a lot of chinese orphans, thank you.
Me too this sentence have a lot of meaning OMG 😢
Why do chinese often leave thier own un attended i wonder really..
Ronby Sanlacwa theres videos on that. It is so sad, and I never blame the mother, bc the situation in other countries is extremely difficult and different from America.
Ronby Sanlacwa Because there are lots of families prefer boys than girls, but there are still many Chinese families waiting for adopting babies. And I heard it’s a very difficult process.
Chinese always can cry many time when others do a good thing, but they won't do it themselves.
Can we talk about the brothers? They are the most protective and sweet big brothers I've ever seen 🥺🥺💕💕
I know right!
@Alejandro Cabello Anbre is on fb

I would love to see another update!!

WE NEED A UPDATE ON HER AFTER 4 YEARS PLEASEEEEEEE
I’m a Chinese adoptee adopted by a white, Canadian family back in 1999 and watching your little Chinese New Year party made me emotional. Being of colour in a white home and in a predominantly white community was complex growing up, but it also enriched my identity in so many ways too. I love how you encourage her to be proud of who she is and where she is from. She is surrounded by so much love. She is truly home.
I have always thought of Chinese and Japanese as white or tan ,I am white English I have friends in China and Japan, hope you are ok and happy 😊
@drag0nfly_girl Hey thanks for your comment. Personally, I do identify as someone of colour. It is something that my family and I use openly and lovingly. In fact my mother is keenly aware of this and we have had many conversations as jewish people about the ways I have felt within predominantly white, jewish spaces, both positive and negative. I am a person who is visually of a different race than my family. That brings with it it’s own joys and challenges. To ignore that fact is to erase the experiences I have and will continue to have as someone who is a different race than those I often travel with. Everyone is colourful and moves through life on their own path. But it is not a bad thing to identify the ways in which we are different! I would also add that I don’t feel at all that I am excluding myself from my home or my family when I use this language in this context. Of course, when I talk about my family, I don’t say my white family. They are simply my family. But in the context of my comment, which is directly addressing the embracing of culture, it’s important to identify that my family is white, and that I was culturally brought up as “white”, and that I am profoundly touched when “white” families like my own go out of their way to incorporate their child’s culture as a way of showing their love.

when will you show be so loyal to CCP? and provide some military secrets to the Chinese government. you backstabbing Chinese.
@@jennybassam5515 hey! Just so yk, having white skin doesn't make u white racially. Chinese and Japanese people are Asian which makes them people of color.
It's so beautiful that you embrace Naomi's heritage (and continue to do so) and use it to educate your boys about another culture. I think it is easy for a child who is adopted by foreigners to lose touch with their heritage. The fact that you are teaching her Chinese is just beautiful. Naomi is a lucky child who has the best of both worlds.
Would love to see an update!
She is lucky to be part of your loving and caring family.
She is blessed🙏🏼✝️
Such a loving family 💕
They r the lucky ones xxxxxx
As I watched her adoption video and then this one I was thinking of how lucky Naomi is.
Then I realized I had it backwards, Naomi is simply finally getting the loving family that she deserves, your family was lucky to have searched for and found such a wonderful treasure.
Many prayers and loving vibes to the entire Lewis family.
You guy's change Naomi world , she have everything now, home, love , families and friends, brother, mom and dad . This is so great God bless you all
It's four years since you post this video. Hope you guys are living a happy life. Thank you for giving Naomi a complete home and a lot of love. She is an angel to comfort many ordinary people in this complex world including me.
Naomi is absolutely adorable with three protective handsome brothers. Such a beautiful family
Thank you so much for trying to teach her some Chinese words and keep Chinese new year as a traditional festival. I'm so glad Naomi found you. ❤️❤️
I see the mom looks like Kate Winslet.. pretty mom with loving heart to keep her adopted daughter’s culture
this is so precocious, and how her brothers protect and play with her. plus the parents who's always there for Naomi too.
Could you please upload another update? It’s so lovely to see. And it make me so emotional every time I see these good-hearted American people adopting Chinese kids. “Thank you” cannot even be enough to express my gratitude to you guys. ❤️
Aww, the fact that you kept her roots alive is amazing.
Hi . I find it absolutely admirable of you to teach him Chinese!! It is sure that one day she will be grateful to you because knowing where we come from allows each child to grow psychologically in a more balanced way!
Waouh !! très forte vidéo , j'ai vu la première partie ... dèjà très ému par la démarche de cette famille et sur celle-ci on voit une petite fille heureuse , épanouie , sublime .... bravo !!! merci pour elle !!!
That is beautiful that you guys include in celebrating and incorporate her culture. You guys are amazing!
Thank you for your kind generous heart to give these orphan children a chance in life. Beautiful precious family!!!
Bravo for celebrating the Chinese New Year and teaching her Chinese words. She will be eternally grateful when she is older. Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
She will forever remember this and how much you guys did for her. Hope she turns out to be a great human as she grows up.
Single handedly one of the sweetest Chinese adoptions ever! It’s so nice to see her truly loving her new family for who they are! I’ve seen other babies be ok but not like her! Lol this is so sweet! How long ago did you adopt?
It's amazing to see how you changed her life forever! And now she has 3 big brothers protecting her. God bless you folks! Can you please do a quick update on Naomi?
🥰Naomi is lucky to have your guys as her family. That’s so thoughtful and sweet that u guys made all those Chinese culture things into your family becoz of Naomi’s birth place. ⭐️God bless u all!!
Please upload more videos, looking forward to watching u guys again!🌸
Love from Macau China 💚
This little girl has found the perfect home . A beautiful family,with so much love that it is overflowing .
I love how much you guys love her. And it’s so genuine 🫠 thank you for providing her with a happy safe loving home. May you and your family be blessed beyond blessed! Happy thanksgiving!
One of my biggest dreams is to adopt a baby from China. I went there many years ago and it's changed my life! Thanks for sharing your story! Honestly made me cry.
Throughout the video I kept thinking what a blessing of a woman this wife and mummy is. Caring, loving and positive despite of the natural stress 4 children bring. I’m really moved by this family may you continue to live well
This beautiful little girl is very lucky and blessed, but ofcourse DESERVING of a family like the one she now has. One which celebrates her heritage, while still making sure that she knows that she is no different from those around her.
亲爱的大洋彼岸的朋友，感谢你们的爱心，感谢你们收养这个可爱的孩子，相信她沐浴在你们的爱之下，一定可以健康快乐成长，也希望她给你们带去快乐，上帝保佑你们。
Dear friends on the other side of the ocean, thank you for your love, thank you for adopting this lovely child, I believe she bathed in your love, will grow up healthy and happy, also hope she brings happiness to you, God bless you.
Naomi have a three good big brother to take care of her, so love it at all. Much love guys
Can you please do more updated and more vlogs? Thank you for inspiring me to adopt I have 2 kids that are adopted.
What a nice family ! God bless you all for being so kind with this sweet lovely little angel and bring her into your family as a member ! Congratulations for your way to educate your beautiful kids !
Its amazing how fast she pick up the language
You guys are fabulous parents. As Chinese in North America, even we don't put as much efforts to teach our son Chinese (culture) as you do.
You have a beautiful, pure and big heart. I wish you a healthy and happy life. This world needs beautiful people like you. Greetings and love from Turkey.
I think of your family from time to time and hope you are all healthy and happy. You have hearts of gold.
God Bless the family.
Even your sons are so happy to habe her. There is no better things in life then to give a lovely family to her.You guys are made for each other just That God decided to put you in different places.
I love how you are teaching her Chinese
My face is aching ..not smiled continuously this long in years ..Bless her 😊😊😊
Asian here, you are an amazing family.
发自内心的感动！👍👍👍🧡🧡🧡
WE NEED ANOTHER UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful family you have here! So much love and warmth in everyone’s eyes and smile! I’m so happy to see that Naomi is still connected to her roots and the fun part is your whole family are all learning about her heritage all together. Please keep us all updated with more vlogs. Is there a large Chinese community close to your area? Perhaps you can send Naomi to Chinese school on the weekends that way she can learn to read and write in Chinese and show the family too 🙂
I am a Chinese,very glad to seeNaomi have a good life.Plese continue to do more vlog.
Yeah I agree with zhihui Zhang
Agreed！love ur family and all the effort you put in!

@@krameel9644 look at your profile pic you're not Jungkook(just kidding)
As an adopted child from China, I love that you and your family are continuing to educate her on her heritage. I remember my mother doing the same for my sister and I and it's something I cherise. Also, please continue to teach her Chinese, that is one thing I wished my mother would have continued to do for me when I was little as I plan to travel to China one day and would love to be able to speak it. She's a beautiful child as are all of your children. I wish you and your family the best!
Thank you! We hope to continue to teach her Chinese and we want to learn along with her too. Definitely a difficult language to learn. haha
Molly: Be grateful for what your Mom DID do for you
@@summerdawn6777 Urging great care in telling others what they "should be" grateful for: It's a rare occasion, indeed, when the curt words of a stranger changes anyone's behavior or soul for the better. 😂🙏
P.S. Molly remarked that she cherished something her mother did, so perhaps you can assume that the one thing she wished had happened wasn't necessarily criticism. ⛩️🐼
@@mortalclown3812 GRATITUDE IS GOD
@@summerdawn6777 I'm sure she is. Simmer down and mind your business biotch.
I really love how you put a lot of effort into teaching her Chinese words. You were even taking care to pronounce the tones, that shows how much you truly care ❤️
Thank you - Chinese is a difficult language to learn but we are sure trying. :)
OMG，she's more and more cute.The way you teach her Chinese is really good.I think learning a language should be the most difficult.😂祝福她，也祝福你们
Agreed- it is very difficult but we are sure trying. : ) Thank you!

一家人都對小女孩很好、 妹妹真是幸福 ，重新得到幸福的家庭、 讚
Wow I'm in tears...Can truely feel your love care for Naomi and all the efforts to teach her Chinese tradition. Really appreciate it. God bless you all.
Whoever disliked this is just jealous of not having her❤️
Well i guess i should dislike the video then.....
*don't worry guys im kidding, it was just another way to say that i was jealous...❤️❤️
Prob fat fingers on tiny phone....bumped by accident
Apinya Rolly,I know right I wish I had her she’s so cute
Her name is so beautiful, Qiu (Autumn) Ya(Grace). So sweet your boys holding her up to the hays
We love it too. : ) So pretty. And yes, her brothers are so good with her. Thanks!
you can tell how she learned the facial expression and body language before saying actual words ( a lot facial expressions look a lot like her brother and you guys!) it’s amazing to observe how kid learn and adapt to new environment. overall we are all human
I really love that you kept her Chinese name it's beautiful!
I thought chinese always use a Western and their chineese names.. And i never thought that you can change the Name.either
Beautiful people
I am a Chinese and I love the all the things in this video!!! Naomi looks so happy and she changed a lot!!! she's in love💗💗
Many people in China see her new life and how she grows up. We all thank your family bring naomi kindness since she didn't receive much love firstly. What her brother says(no more changes) is so sweet!
It’s so sweet that you put a lots of efforts to teach her Chinese cultures. May God bless your family.
I'm amazed how young kids can learn a language so quickly...6 months in the US and she is already speaking fluent English....kids are so lucky. Anyway I love that you are embracing her heritage and are learning Chinese together. I think it's so important for children adopted from overseas to not lose that, and even better if the family joins in as well.
How fortunate for Naomi she found a wonderful family to belong to. Looks like your family and Naomi have been blessed.
Love your family.
It's amazing how fast kids pick up a new language.
Naomi's smile is so bright
Naomi is adorable
I am a Chinese. Really appreciate that you can adopt Naomi and give her a fully love family also still spread the China culture and language to Naomi. Really like your video and hope you can keep update the latest situation for Naomi I love it.
As a Chinese American, I’m so touched by how loving and caring your family is. My eyes teared up so many times seeing the way you love her. Also the fact that you are celebrating the Chinese culture is so important and precious for her. So much respect for your family, this video made my day.
Awwwww when your son said "Up there is where you get Naomi???" Haha so cute.
Your sons are SUCH good big brothers! They make me proud with how well the take care of her and make sure that she's happy! You're truly raising real gentlemen!
Cried when dad said “no more changes”. Glad that she can still experience her original culture. Omg and hotpot!!! You are kind people! It’s the luckiest thing for the unfortunate past 👍
this is what im talking about when they say one should be rich in and out, literally. Shes blessed.
Naomi is a very lucky girl.God bless you and Family.
5:36 she is just the cutest😭🥰 you guys are such a loving family I wish nothing but the best for you guys stay blessed🙌🙌❤️
I'm an Asian, but you celebrate more Chinese New Year than I'm. I grew up to see all the Chinese red papers all over the houses in my country, but my house never decorate with these types of papers. Even my parents celebrate Chinese New Year every year. I celebrated 3 New Years in America: Chinese, American and SouthEast Asian. Every Chinese New Year, I got a red envelope from my born Chinese uncle who immigrated to my country when he was young. But, I admired you and your family who make your daughter feel at home by celebrating her New Year and eat Chinese food. She will remember you for the rest of her life. I hope to see her growing up with success and respect tour her parents and elders as Asian culture does. I had 3 kids born in the US and so far they listen and follow my advise. Two in college and one in middle school. As a parent, we only want to see our kids grow and be a good and successful persons. We, then, are happy.
What a lucky family you are for having each other. I wish all the happiness and peace for your family. May God bless you all ♡
You are such a wonderful mother. Thank you for giving kindness and love to this world.
Oh my goodness♥ she's grown so much! I don't know what part of my 20 year old university student life made UA-cam recommend Naomi's videos but it makes me so happy to see your family. Growing up in the US as a Korean immigrant family, there was a sense of otherness that no amount of southern hospitality could shake off. I'm back home now but seeing your family adapt to Chinese traditions and keep implement those cultural aspects into your life makes me very happy. I hope your children all feel happy and loved :)
glad I found this update. She is so delicate looking ethereal angelic I can see she has lots of brothers who will protect her ! She is really smart as well. Look forward to more updates .
Cried through the whole last video. I am so happy for you and your family. May every day be a blessing. Night night little crib escapee!
Hi, I’m a Chinese from Hong Kong and I’m really happy for Naomi. She will have a very bright future with your family. Watching your videos I can see Naomi has a big change. She looks very happy and her three nice looking and good manners brothers have done a very good job taking care of her. The way your family appreciates and adopts the values and traditions of the Chinese culture is very impressive. The hot pot, the tradition food, the red envelopes, the hanging signs, the pictures, and the atmosphere.......... really good. The way you teach Naomi those Chinese flash cards is also impressive. You are teaching her not to forget her original language. And you speak good Mandarin too. You guys are a wonderful family. Thank you for having such a heart in giving Naomi a family.
Naomi is so beautiful! She’s growing up so fast. Your 3 boys are so wonderful and amazing! They love her and care for their new sister. You have a wonder God given family! More blessings to your wonderful family!
Looks like Naomi is having the time of here life. I love watching her enjoy Life and experience 1sts.
