I truly hope she has grown up to be a happy child. I was so happy to see her smile towards the end of the video. It seemed it took quite awhile for her to become comfortable. God bless you for adopting this sweet angel.
She is so sweet! I had to smile when you talked about possibly "screwing her up." I think every parent has that thought/fear, whether you adopt a child, or have a baby. We just hope that, with God's help and grace, that our best is good enough. I bet you are wonderful parents!!!!
The worst part of this process is when they bring out the baby with foster Mom how they cry going into the arms well strangers to see how they cry tears me up but then you see the joy as it inches on their forever parents and in time all of that pain is erased and a new way of life begins. #PROUDPARENTS.😫😭😢❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed, they are so frightened when they are turned over to strangers (their forever family) after forming a bond with their foster mom/nannies. It is sad to see them crying, but they do warm up as the new bond forms & they become accustomed to their forever family & realize they are loved & cared for.
We have to keep in mind that these are geared to these babies to see when their older, thus these songs will have special meaning, as well as the pictures of their birthland. These parents are unselfishly sharing a personal and major event in their lives. You may always choose to double click on image and slide the red line to the right a bit to skip the parts you don't care to see. Blessings! 😀
They're scared....person(s) who took care of them leave and these strangers are there, they even look differently....i'd cry too...usually they warm up after a bit.
I THINK SHES PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY SHE IS ACCEPTANCE IS A BIG PART OF LIFE IF HER PARENTS CAN ACCEPT THE FACT THAT SHE ONLY HAS ONE EAR SO CAN EVERYBODY ELSE LOVE IS MORE IMPORTANT AND MUM AND DAD LOVE HER SO MUCH THAT IS ALL SHE NEEDS THAT SMILE SAYS IT ALL
You guys are the most amazing, loving, devoted, caring, and his child is so lucky beyond lucky to have chosen you for his parents and for you to choose her as your child Jesus puts people in our lives for a reason I believe that God bless you and I think you’re an amazing woman Julie you and your husband are wonderful. God bless and I hope little Maeli🌸🙏💯🦋🐞🦋👏🏽👏🏽💙✝️🇺🇸 doing good.
Looks like she had been used of just given a bottle to keep her quiet in the orphanage. I hope it didn't take you long to stop that. I'm so pleased she got two loving parents xx
Colleen Zulueta I see lots of American children who's teeth are buck because of it. I think real love & care are worth thousand times more than a bottle. I agree when they are trying to calm the baby. Like some have blankets. I'd rather none & my children are pharmacist, Dentist & Solicitor . Much love needed.
Yvette Dale the ratio of caretakers to children is not enough to give the nannies time to wean them or even potty train them. In the larger picture, what matters is there is one less orphan now!!!
The way the government adoption agencies are doing this is all wrong. The transition shouldn't be in a room of noise and other screaming babies. It sounds like a slaughter house. Each family should be given a room where the baby is brought in and introduced to the parents in a calm quiet setting. It's absolute mayhem and stressful on these babies and overwhelming. These little ones are scared to death, being ripped from the only people they know and thrusted to the arms of complete strangers, even though in the end they will be in loving homes.
I totally agree ..it does sound like a slaughter house..the ones who don't cry at all with a blank face appears to me, to be be in shock ? Some Forever families chooses to meet their child in their Hotel room..there is certainly a fee for this or they may be children placed in Foster Care?? Who decides, based on which criteria, does some children end up in foster care..got to google this..moi, canada
It doesnt matter how they do it. Chinese babies scream and cry no matter what. It can be in a quiet hotel room with 2 people or loud like the orphanage is, they still act the same way. African, Filipino, India etc they dont act that way, just the Chinese. So it really doesnt Matter.
what gets me is these wonderful people adopting these children make excuses for there childs birth parents when in reality the childs was ht==thrown out because of a defect I-E no right ear poor little girl.
Microtia of the ear can be fixed, but it takes a very skilled plastic surgeon and it cannot be done until at least the age of seven as they need enough cartilage to harvest from the sternum. My young neighbor had it and had to travel to San Francisco to see the right doctor. It is more than one operation involved, but today you would have to look hard to see any difference in his ears. He does not have any hearing in that ear, however, as there is no ear canal.
Fred Wilson, you're getting like the crabby women in here: The fact is that the birth parents chose life. All medical bills must be paid in advance. What may seem purely cosmetic to you often has underlying medical issues that cost a great deal to treat. Please avail yourself of facts before you post such unkind and judgmental remarks.
I don't know why you go back to the orphanage. She is probably thinking you guys are taking her back. Also, you were doing fine talking then you get her and you turn on the music. Why? Would rather keep listening to you guys instead of that.
You complain about this in so many videos. Please be gracious to a family who's sharing the best they can so kindly with those of us who adore seeing orphans become loved daughters and sons. Pax et lux
yeah that orphanage trip is that required by the adoption agency? why would you ever want to bring a baby back and shock them...whatever are you people thinking.
@@michellewind8097 Most parents think it's an important aspect of the experience and closure and most kids seem to know that their families are really theirs after it. Perhaps looking into things before spouting negative comments based on utter ignorance might be more helpful. Or just heeding the fact that a child now has a family.🤦
I dont understand this comment at all..like what are you even talking about ?.a time stamp perhaps would be beneficial?..I Can't find the part you are referring to.
One thing I'm curious about, is Meili her real/birth name, or did she have another name before you guys chose it for her? Just curious! :) You guys are so lucky to of gotten her though-- she looks like a sweetheart.
Am worried about this little Angel ..when her parents cannot see eye to eye on gotcha day ..what is her life going to be like ..shame on you parents ..moi
No, shame on you for judging. You have not been through this.... You are exhausted and stressed and anxious and confused...anyone can get a little snippy
@@mortalclown3812 what do you want??? what's your problem? we can't give an opinion?? maybe we prefer to listen to babies voices and not the same annoying songs! i don't want find the volume bottom and it doesn't mean that i have to grow up!
@@francescaSmakeupandmore You're critical and infantile. Instead of delighting in an orphan getting a forever family, you seem to think these videos are to entertain you. It's an extremely immature trait.
My boss adopted a little girl from China 10+ years ago, and the parents at that time were in China for 10 days. Patents are taken on a tour where they are exposed to Chinese sights and culture. They visit the children's orphanage and meet their caregivers. The Chinese adoption agency also watches the interaction with parents and child and offer help if needed. I'm not sure if China still allows foreign adoptions.
I wonder why this kid starting crying aa soon as she seen th am she hadn't even been handed over..it wasn't like the mother was a red head or a blonde she was was dark yet this kid cried as soon as she seen them...x
plus, pragmatically speaking, i feel an english name helps in networking/socialising. in a western society, i bet english names are easier for people to grasp and your kid will get less of 'so what was your name again?'. finally, i hate it when people mispronounce my chinese name, so sometimes i prefer to go by my english name, which my mom gave me but my dad didn't like and so it's not 'official'.
Poor little kids...looks like a cattle market...then the chinese women hands over the child and says mamma or pappa...no thats not your son or daughter...

I thought the same thing and the way she says oh well we'll just tape the chaos.This just showed no respect for this culture.I just had this gut feeling when this adopted mother saying in the video for this child to see later on that if she screws her up then oh well, and she struck me as a person with not much of a maternal being as to how it was so unpersonal and unemotional.

Awww..she cried a long time. Darn it. I m sure she's fine now. Never alone, never again.
Beautiful! Everyone and everything!
She must be 10 years now and very intelligent .. She cried for long that means her memory is really strong at such a tender age ..
They are now a family have a happy life together
Best wishes to you all! I hope the future will be filled with happiness and health.
So happy for you all. God Bless.

I wonder why these babies cry before they are even held by mummy and daddy.. Smart kids know something big is about to happen..

Her ear defect can be corrected by surgery although not sure about her hearing organ is also defective. Fortunately the other ear is ok.
All the bless, your family save a baby girl's life

Yvette Dale, does it really matter. Bottle is the least of the worries. I feel she used it to help her teeth. But in the large picture......who cares?
Colleen Zulueta I see lots of American children who's teeth are buck because of it. I think real love & care are worth thousand times more than a bottle. I agree when they are trying to calm the baby.
Like some have blankets. I'd rather none & my children are pharmacist, Dentist & Solicitor . Much love needed.

Yvette Dale aww who the heck cares if she uses a bottle to sooth herself.
Colleen Zulueta well I noticed her poor right ear that matters when she is older.
Ma perchè in Cina è così drammatico l'incontro con i genitori adottivi ? Vengono consegnati come se fossero pacchetti postali , è un vero shock
I really would love to see how she is now
Beautiful :) .
Does going back to their children’s home just after getting then not confuse them
Never understand why they take the babies back must be unsettling and confusing for them.

The way the government adoption agencies are doing this is all wrong. The transition shouldn't be in a room of noise and other screaming babies. It sounds like a slaughter house. Each family should be given a room where the baby is brought in and introduced to the parents in a calm quiet setting. It's absolute mayhem and stressful on these babies and overwhelming.

I totally agree with you Katherine Khan it’s heartbreaking and so cruel the way this is handled .
You’re right, the China gov makes at least 18,000 for each baby, the least they could do is make it easy on the babies who are already stressed.
It doesnt matter how they do it. Chinese babies scream and cry no matter what. It can be in a quiet hotel room with 2 people or loud like the orphanage is, they still act the same way. African, Filipino, India etc they dont act that way, just the Chinese. So it really doesnt Matter.

Some babies start to develop a flat head from laying on their back when they sleep. The helmet stops it from getting worse and helps correct it.
