Unbelievable, the little girl that “was shy” was comfortable with you almost from the beginning in, smiling within one hour and then never looked back. So happy for this Cheerios loving little girl!

Loved your Gotcha Day video, Mary Jewel is precious. My family are Powells from Mississippi so y’all caught my eye. How fabulous for Mary Jewel to have two big brother protectors. Our precious daughter from China came home Oct of 2001 and is a student at Harvard now.

The sooner you understands this the better you will be

[@TheMichele33]

such a cutie pie :)

[@Jelena151]

Have you expected older child? You have written that you bought clothes, but those dresses were obviously for much older girl. This one was at the time just a baby.

[@lindapearson9692]

My daughter sucked her fore finger, also! She is precious!

[@tommylagan]

[@kwabenaagyemang3545]

[@kwabenaagyemang3545]

I just found out that she is at Harvard.

[@ceciliapagano6636]

Commovente😥😥😥✌✌✌🙎‍♀️🙎‍♀️

[@fredwilson8326]

sorry I cant get over her sweet little face that she keeps stuffing with foodsort of making up for lost timeha ha ha.

[@publicneasmyrni8689]

Where is the "mother" feeding the baby ?? It's obvious the baby is playing with the food so as " parents " help the baby to be fed proper in a healthy way🍼🍌🍼it is very important for infants to be fed and sleep well enough Just my opinion about the Lovely💕🎀👒🎀💕Precious baby

[@benjoseph8387]

Beautiful...thanks for sharing...❤ Gods Love reigns! (I pray you'll discover your need to eat unrefined organic foods soon. ☝😊)

[@cynthiamurphy4556]

Ben Joseph If God’s love truly reigned in your heart you would have privately prayed and kept your rude comment to yourself.

[@mortalclown3812]

We pray you'll keep sanctimony to yourself. 🤦

[@donquixote1502]

There is no lord

[@mortalclown3812]

Of course there is a loving Creator whose light is where we are created and where we return. Atheists are definitely an odd lot: As obsessed with the beliefs of people as evangelicals are. Ever fathom the irony in that? Probably not. 😂

[@michellewind8097]

tell me why you wear black when you first meet the child...and the mother's that wear dark red lipstick...we women need to rethink how these babies see us at first sight...it's frightening enough for them, be bright and cheery, they will have enough darkness in their lives to last a lifetime!

[@joanwoods7740]

You can't be serious

[@TaraDactylWasHere]

@@joanwoods7740 even different perfumes can scare them. New scents, strange faces with "big" noses and blonde hair, new everything really.

[@TaraDactylWasHere]

@@joanwoods7740 let's not forget a completely different language that they've never heard. Leaving a country where you every where you look people look like you, to going to a new country half way around the world and seeing nothing but people that don't. Traumatizing, more so than domestic adoptions.

[@sandikosobucki9954]

I wish they wouldn’t have music and just listen to the child and the families

[@elliesouza717]

It might be done so you don't hear everything

[@user-iv2ih9bz9y]

kea

[@fredwilson8326]

and just when it got interesting that stupid song started up I really do wish they would not use it.

[@malina1239]

fred wilson yes after 100 videos with the same songs you get fed up unfortunately . But I understand that these songs are special to each and every family , as it put words to the ups and downs to an amazing journey!

[@cynthiamurphy4556]

Malina 123 Maybe so, but they create, edit, and post the videos for other people to watch, and practically everyone uses those same songs. I have come to hate those songs and if I watch a video I leave the sound off. I can turn the sound on occasionally, to see if I’m missing something, but usually it’s that song. Ugh.

[@judyjeanson7742]

It would be so nice to actually hear what is going on instead of this soppy music

[@mortalclown3812]

It's not for your amusement. Why not be grateful that the family shared any of this journey with us, Debbie Downer? 😂

[@samducisco4342]

Why do they play that horrible song or any other song You can't hear then talk to the child Please stop..

[@elliesouza717]

They may not want you to hear everything

[@fredwilson8326]

not only that they played the bloody song over and over ruined the video

[@barbibutton9619]

Nothing could ruin this coming together of souls

[@judynajar3506]

Amen
