China Adoption: Naomi's 6 Month Update

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!

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.

[@jennybassam5515]

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 😊

[@jessecaplan1202]

@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.

[@skatingcanuck9837]

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!

[@patrickplayspokerbadly6230]

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.

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!

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.
