Our Journey to Anya - Adoption Video

We traveled to India to bring our daughter, Anya, home in January 2019 and we came home on February 7, so I'm posting this 9 months later!
Welcome to our family Anya. We love you!

I really don't understand why people like these can't and won't adopt a child from there own country there are many to adopt,they should think of babies right where they live,help one of your own maybe getting away from abusive parents or and druggie parents. Don't spend a lot of money on travel adopt and save one of your own they need you. I would be ashamed of myself if I done it. Adopt one from your country as they need people like you to love and care for them. This is not right,amaze all by adopting a child from where you live. No offence.

I don't usually comment on comments on my video, but this one irked me. At the time you wrote that comment there were 30 million orphans in India, or the population of Texas. Most of them are girls, and most of them will end up on the streets, become addicted to drugs, and likely be trafficked. Do you realize what you are saying about these children? Do you realize what you are saying about my daughter? Do they or did she not deserve a family too? Every child that is adopted from India must FIRST be put up for adoption by an Indian citizen. My daughter in this video was not adopted by a citizen of India, so yes, a foreigner adopted a child from India. Gasp. For all you know I could help foster children here in the USA as well. Oh by the way, it is still expensive to adopt a child in the States, very expensive. What irked me the most about your comment was your concluding phrase "This is not right" - I don't see how bringing a child into your family, regardless of what country they came from, can be considered such. You do not know my background, or my daughter's background for that matter, what it took for us to bring her her home (yes it was expensive), or what originally lead me and my wife to chose to adopt her from India. But I suppose I will now hang my head in "shame" like you suggest because of this dastardly deed. Thank you for watching and expressing your opinion.

[@LauraDoherty-o2c]

If you haven’t adopted or fostered a child, you are not part of any solution. Shut up, Susan Barr. A child is a child and they all deserve loving homes, regardless of where they are born. Not your money, not your family, not your parenting. Find a way to contribute to the world.

[@joanrawlinson9231]

She has a smile that would light up an entire room, wishing her and her new mom and dad, heaps of happiness,

[@CW-rx2js]

Thank you for doing this kindness ❤

[@bobcatbigpaws5597]

Why go through a pregnancy when thousands of babies and children need homes all over the world. Their not your fresh and blood but who can't help love a beautiful little girl like this. A baby is a gift from God and it doesn't have to come from your body. This is a beautiful story and god bless the parents who gave this angel a loving home. Maybe they will adopt her a little brother. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@GD-xc4wg]

Why not? God made women to carry babies. Yes there is a lot of children who was abandonned and it will continue to be. Their birth parents made this choice and it was their responsability to take care of these babies. We are not responsible for other people actions. Only for ours.

[@elliesouza717]

Two of my children are adopted and six are biological. They are all my children and all meant to be here

[@brahminangirasgotraraniselvisu]

She is very beautiful child! That she remains very beautiful!

[@aggarwalaashu28]

I am an adoptive mother myself and though people have different journeys to their adoption but in the end with their bundle of joy in the hands, the line between biological and adoptive child diminishes and is taken over by love, affection that knows no bound. Congratulations on your journey ahead 😊

[@susieangelique2669]

It has been 4 years, she was a lovely little baby, beautiful eyes, the only thing I hope for her, is that you took her to have reconstructive plastic surgery on her left ear.
