    This mother is amazing. She fought for that child for years in a foreign country, just to then face the brutal US immigration process, and made history in Ghana (the first person to bypass the three adoption laws). What astonishing love.

    OMG When she said “I love to go shopping at TARGET!” I said this girl is it! She’s just like every other little girl! Her mother is incredible. Imagine living in Ghana so that you can adopt a little girl you fell in love with ♥️ That is filled with a life changing, pure love, dedication, motherly connection unlike any other adoption story I’ve ever heard ♥️ Truly. This mother deserves so much credit. Imagine spending even one day in a foreign country for another individual. To say this mother is incredible is an understatement, there’s no words to describe this amazing mother ♥️

    It's great seeing how chris interacts especially with people with communication and development related disabilities. Lots of people are awkward or don't talk to disabled people and he is very respectful and positive and natural with everyone. Great example of empathy and communication ❤

    I've done an essay on Ghana and how they believe the disabled are a bad omen and will blame them for deaths and other things. They call them "spirit children". Ellie is such a sweet girl and you should be so proud of all the selfless things you did to make sure you saved her. You're heart is so pure 💓

    Hi, Ellie! I think you are great! I love penguins, too. I feel sad for penguins because they always swim in very cold water. Cold water makes me cry. I like warm water. Do you like to swim in warm water or cold water? You are so smart and so is your Mom. Your Mom traveled across the world to find you and keep you safe. You can talk with your device and your Mom always listens. I am happy for you. I hope one day that you will do another interview with Chris. Hugs to you and your Mom. Keep up the Good Work. Your friend, Sherry

    • @AmeliaEarhart537

      Just saying, you don't need to feel sad for penguins because their fat and feathers keep them warm, so they don't feel the cold at all.

It lights up a room like the sun. Sending you hugs from Illinois. And you mom, Rebecca, sending two hugs. There is a special place in heaven reserved for you because you saw what must have seemed insurmountable and you trusted God for this miracle. She loves you and you definitely help her know that she isn’t a mistake and that you love her also. Hope God sends blessings your way.
