The gifts...the childs truly first possessions in life. Bless her heart. May God carry her thru her life so she is never alone, never again and the trauma of being abandoned behind her forever

[@judithryle2113]

She does not look special needs

[@judithryle2113]

Giving her too much stuff

[@Jaxchronicles]

[@ericzhao1129]

Beautiful girl

[@esteesmom]

Thank you for sharing. What a blessing to your family. What is her special need? We are all needy and broken and Messiah Jesus makes us whole.

[@doriswhittemoore6457]

I do really enjoy watching all the beautiful babies,I would like to see more of Liv baby that hope for more pictures and I bet she is a beautiful little girl!

[@gabriellasenziani3267]

Ciao che bella bambina carina anche la sua famiglia e bella carina come la bambina ciao tutti

[@whitesnake6970]

Beautiful people 🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍

[@timandheike]

@esteesmom I watched your video last year and loved it. I fell in love with the song you picked. Yes, we are all needy and broken and need our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today my friend is bringing her daughter to our church to introduce her to us. She is also from China.

[@ceciliapagano6636]

Poveri bambini 😥😥✌✌✌

[@fiordalinarodriguez5677]

adorable god bless you

[@pecerusty8308]

She's beautiful

[@esmeesme7666]

Beautiful!!.....but the music is too much.....can't hear the talking.

[@TimothyMcDoniel]

That's because the conversation wasn't for your ears! :-)

[@jessiechang2872]

2 sweet and lovely daughters. How are they now? It's been a long time without Maria's film.Please share some update pix to me if it's not too trouble.

[@TimothyMcDoniel]

They are doing well! Thank you for asking. Our oldest daughter is about to graduate High School, and Maria is in the 9th grade of High School. Last year she finally finished her time in dental braces and now her smile is even more beautiful! :-)

[@timandheike]

I have a new KZbin channel were you can see her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWm9aGlmg9Osb7c

[@MGWTar]

Is there any update video ?

[@claireandbj]

absolutely beautiful! she is certainly a jewel! Me and my wife are set to go to china between march and may 2011 for our "gotcha day". We are getting a little boy. he's 4 years old.....we can barely contain ourselves...we are so happy and can't wait to go. we would love to speak to you if possible about your experience and what we can expect!

[@linjin9686]

really pretty, I mean it, not just a common compliment

[@shirleyz.4506]

wow she is really like a little movie start

[@timandheike]

@CampbellScot Hi Scot Campbell, Maria has CP in her right side. Her foot and hand is smaller and has little strength. She has a limp when she walks as well. It is a mild CP and it's very hard to see on video. You do see it in person but sometimes even then you do have to point it out to people.

[@reason5591]

She is perfect and beautiful 🙏💕

[@mariacastillo2931]

Pero seran una estupenda familia

[@lynn_anziyan]

❤️❤️❤️

[@chasx7062]

Very nice, sister gets a younger sister

[@richprincess21]

I was wondering would you adopt another child from china?

[@cwcroswell]

❤️

[@marjoryrainey5761]

What a cute face !!!

[@marcmoreau9411]

2 girls , différentes mais magnifiques , elles doivent être de superbes jeunes fille en 2023 !!!

[@kimni18]

What is the name of this song?

[@timandheike]

The name of the song is Journey by Angela Chang.

[@Antzuu90]

oh oke :).how she has grown accustomed to a new family and country? :) i hope it was right word :)

[@khinlaymyint2527]

WoW the girl is very very cute .

[@dereklambert9551]

i m Chinese and Tears in my eyes

[@choufahsiung8450]

👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@kibayacruz9674]

whats the song called?

[@sabrinasalvo27]

She's beautiful. I wonder what was it she kept looking at to the side? she seemed very interested. Was that a friend of hers being adopted also?

[@TimothyMcDoniel]

yes

[@Antzuu90]

wow congurlations :). how old she is?

[@timandheike]

We used AWAA.

[@plin591]

she is pretty

[@mariacastillo2931]

A la hermana mayor no se la ve muy feliz

[@TimothyMcDoniel]

I think you have to consider the impact of something this momentous to her life as well. She went from being the only daughter and suddenly came to the realization that she would share this role. It was a big change, and yes, we did have our challenges. But now the older daughter is about to turn 18 years old and Maria will be 18 in December. They have done well and they love each other very much! 🤓

[@mibang9096]

You shoot the video up and down very hard to see

[@TimothyMcDoniel]

Then don't watch it ... there are many other gotcha videos on KZbin.

[@maryjobraun1101]

?

[@olgasamsonov5453]

Will someone finally hugs the poor child????

[@happyhoney3433]

Rude

[@michellecollins290]

I’m sure she got lots of hugs 🤗

[@izsoftie7283]

If U can't say something nice....shut up & say nothing.

[@maryjones8554]

Fgs music too loud!

[@Kybeline]

I really don't understand why women who have already a child don't get another one of their own, if they wish another child? This is all so unnatural

[@ms.rlsteele351]

Kybeline you obviously don't have a clue about the choices people make about how they build families. Would you prefer this child grow up in an orphanage never having a mom or dad?

[@happyhoney3433]

It's unnatural to be able to love a child you did not give birth to it is it unnatural to have the desire to give a child a home and family that has none? I think it's unnatural to have no understanding of human compassion

[@TimothyMcDoniel]

I guess because I was raised by my South Korean Mom that I'm not as calloused as you. My wife and I saw that although we can't help every orphan child, that we could at least provide a home and love for one. Maria has been a wonderful blessing to us!

[@rickychiong5457]

Congrats she’s beautiful girl

[@martilives896]

You’re unnatural😛
