Ellia Meets Her Adoptive Mom For The First Time - China Adoption Story

[@aprili.3802]

I'm a single woman who wants to be a mom more than even getting married. It's inspiring to see that adoption is still a possibility for me.

[@bernadettarahel2109]

Yes, first time, I thought there's no possibility for single like us. I didn't even think to getting married but I really want to adoption a child. Because of this video, I really happy in fact I still have a chance for that

[@hjsimmer1742]

I am a single woman with a heart for adoption. This gives me hope that it can happen someday, even without a partner!

[@Hugo-uj1sv]

it definitely will! Bless you! best wishes for you and I hope that dream of yours come true one day ☺😊

[@nx4tk634]

Same

[@LiSa-fc5sp]

In our country- Eastern Europe, they don't allow adoptions to single parent, but only couple that have to be officially married. ;(

[@alexishendricks5933]

Me too. I'm only 21, but I would love to adopt someday. I know someday it will happen.

[@josworld6211]

Same here 🤗🤗☺️

[@stepbackjack4194]

I'm a grown ass man and I'm in tears. This is so beautiful and it's reassuring to know that there are still good people taking care of others in need. God bless.

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

Thank you so much for posting this. So many people have been discouraging me from adoption because I'm single. But then I see this woman who adopted from the country I want to adopt from and she's single. Thank you so much for the inspiration you've given me today.

[@Eliszzyy]

you can do it!

[@monkeybearmax]

Do it! ❤️

[@gabrielledennis549]

It is better to have one parent than none. I’m not adopted, but I live with my single mom. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve become a successful junior in high school who has participated in several nationally-acclaimed programs. I already have 3 universities offering me full tuition scholarships. If my mom can do it, you can.

[@yingmao518]

The little girl is so sweet. There is a Chinese saying that a daughter is a mother's small cotton jacket, as warm and close as it could be. I am so happy for both of you.

[@anathorn1]

[@abbieprice3430]

I’m a single woman myself and I’m hoping to adopt from China someday! I would adopt over 100 orphans from there if I could! But no matter how many come into my future family, I want them to know that they are loved no matter what!

[@dontmindme.imjustafraidofe9327]

I’m adopting from China-twice. That’s not even a question. I just hope my future husband agrees. The reason I’m doing it is because I want to have children. Point blank.

@@madlaz5795 I actually don’t want to adopt anymore. I know there are plenty of people out there whose hearts are called to adopt and I just don’t think I’m one of those people. But the reason I chose China was because I knew there were a lot of little girls over there that need families but now I’ve changed my mind.

How much more difficult is it to be "approved" or matched as a single mom vs a married couple? I am in a similar position as Liz, but have been telling myself that unless I get married, I'll never be "eligible" to adopt. This story gives me hope, but I also want to remain realistic.

[@HoltInternational]

Hi Jennifer, for several of our programs, including China, there is no difference in eligibility between a single person and a married couple! For more information specific to your eligibility, contact our adoption advisors at [e-mail]!

[@mypapalovesme284]

It should not be just adopt a child to be mistreated unfairly but must have a love that comes from the heart 100% for an adopted child as your own. If you cannot truly love a child then don't dare to adopt. Heard about an adoptive white parent who can't love a child of 3 yrs old Asian girl as their own so it's best they should not adopt a child but they should give birth to their own than hurting an adopted child from another alien country. Hope there shouldn't be any racists against Asian in the future.

[@mypapalovesme284]

Romans 12 9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.

[@mypapalovesme284]

Remember to do background check on adoptive parent before give in for adoption. It shouldn't be too easily to adopt a child. A child is not an animal to be mistreated. Children are human beings. Train them well and they will soon learn to love you back in the end. It takes patient to care for a child until they can take care of themselves. That is.

[@actuallyxanna774]

Wendi Lyfe Adopting a child is the furthest thing from easy.. They don't treat them like animals and they do background checks.. Hence the reason they have home studies and so many requirements in order to adopt.. So I don't think they just pawned this baby off like it was nothing.. China is very strict about their rules so I think they know what they are doing in terms of this

[@felixandforrest]

Why so many people adopt kids from China? And those people who came with Ellia were her parents?

[@HoltInternational]

Hi Lucie, there are lots of reasons that people adopt from China. There are thousands of children who are waiting for families, and the Chinese government has developed a good process for adoption, making it a relatively stable and quick process. The people who came with Ellia were her caregivers at the orphanage, and it was a very touching moment to witness as Liz was able to meet the people who had been caring for Ellia for the first part of her life!

If you could tell your daughter one thing rn what would it be....... How about an I love you??!! not a “where in it together” Like what the heck lady and then she says, “this part is going to be worse for her” ... I don’t get it. This should be a beautiful moment in each of your lives, you should love and accept each other with open arms, YES it may be new and challenging but never scary or saddening!!

[@HoltInternational]

Actually Jasmine, the moment that a child meets their new adoptive parents is often traumatic. We believe that in the long run, adoption is in the best interest for these children, but in the moment they are being taken from everything that they are used to, which can be very scary. Our best adoptive parents are sensitive and understanding of the reality of what the child is about to go through, and are willing to meet them where they are. With time though, bonding and connection begins to happen!

[@judyjeanson7742]

Jasmine…adoption is not easy! This kid was two so she had attachments, language, local culture and habits and all that was ending. This mother is smart. She was gearing up for the trauma, sadness, even anger that this kid could have. She was about to give her a new beautiful life but the child might not know that yet
