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.
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
I am a single woman with a heart for adoption. This gives me hope that it can happen someday, even without a partner!
it definitely will! Bless you! best wishes for you and I hope that dream of yours come true one day ☺😊
Same
In our country- Eastern Europe, they don't allow adoptions to single parent, but only couple that have to be officially married. ;(
Me too. I'm only 21, but I would love to adopt someday. I know someday it will happen.
Same here 🤗🤗☺️
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.
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.
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.
you can do it!
Do it! ❤️
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.
World needs more good people like her!!!!
Beautiful, you were meant to be Mommy and Daughter together.
My friend adopted as single Mom a one yr old from China 5 yrs ago and both Mother and child have been richly blessed as will you and your daughter.
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!
Does anyone else cry as much as I do when watching these videos?
Absolutely I do!
Every time
Every time !!
latest favorite stuff that I binge are these adoption video - god I've been bawling so much xx
Ohhh I cry from beginning to end on ALL stories 😭
Reading the energy...you can sincerely tell Liz wants to be a mom for the right reasons. I can see the patience in her eyes & body language.
May God richly bless Liz & Elia!❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Left me in tears... I see myself just like this and I want it to happen as soon as possible. ❤
To make it true, I'm trying to fix my financial situation and get a better job. That's my life motivation.
Even though im only 15 and African American i swear i will adopt from China one day!💗
WALKIE TALKIE me too. im only 16, but im from Indonesia. but i want adopt from China one day ^^
Shaccan Andi. Awesome maybe we can meet up one day when we both adopt lol 😁
Why?
影. because i want to give thoes who have nothing, an opportunity to be happy and live with a family.😊 and because 我爱中国
WALKIE TALKIE me too It has been my Dream since i was 10
Thats so so so sweet
omg i started crying when she put the sticker on your face 😭 how precious
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
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.
Why China?
@@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.
@@dontmindme.imjustafraidofe9327 don't say I hope your partner agrees, don't marry someone who won't be along with your life choices to begin with
@@z7z766 Okay, so if life lets us, I’d love to adopt a sibling group of about three or four kids from foster care, but if that never happens and I only have bio kids, that’s fine with me too.
Please show us more of Ellia and Liz . 💝
I admire you. Peace and Blessings
Hello 👋 how are you doing today

Beautiful people
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Wanted
You were wanted from the start
A turning burning in my heart
A hope which survived my darkest days
The chance to glimpse your lovely face
You were wanted, yes indeed
As a bird will search for a tiny seed
Hidden in the cold damp snow
A struggle for the strength to grow
You were wanted so very much
In every look and every touch
I waited for you to arrive
My miracle to come alive
You were wanted. This fact is true
And no matter what we say or do
Remember this when we must part
That you were wanted from the start
Ellia is soooooo beautiful 😍
That's so lovely I wish all of them get a family and the love and happiness they deserve melts my heart keep getting these kids adopted
Beautiful people! So touching!
Beautiful baby girl😍😍😍😍
Love hearing your story. Your daughter is precious, no doubt the greatest blessing on your life. ❤️🤗
True Good Mother to your Lovely daughter 💕🎀👒🎀💕
BRAVO ● Blessed💫🌟💫 Amen🙏
Such a sweet family, and a beautiful little girl!! My husband and I are about to try and begin the process of adopting a little girl from China after almost a decade of fertility issues. Her name is Mya, and she's only about a month old. I'm scared, nervous, and thrilled. I've dreamed of this day since I was a little girl.
Beautiful! ❤️
Hello 👋 how are you doing today

Awkward Kai me too I want to adopt 4 kids
You guys have to be in your thirties to adopt. I still have a long ways to go. I’m only 21.
Some people just know. I always liked the idea but made up my mind when I was 18. Now I'm in my mid twenties and still have not changed my mind.
Wonderful story. Wish you a happy life together. 😊

Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I really admire you , though single , you have the courage and love in your heart to adopt a.child.
I had single handedly brought up my 3 boys, and was not easy. Now they are all grown up, married and have kids. They are all good sons, taking good.care of me now.
Good to have children, you won't feel lonely when you grow old. She will love you
So happy for you both she appears to have transitioned easily.
God bless her for her kindness
谢谢有人爱这些孩子。
Très émue la maman , même avant le départ , et cette rencontre toute en douceur ! la complicité passe de suite c'est rare !! toutes deux mère et fille vous êtes super jolies !!! souriantes , heureuses !
LOVE LOVE
Lize thank you for adoption . We do not know anything about tomorrow, if you have heart and Love to Share your Love
With some little boy or girl just do it. And I think you are brave . With Best Wishes
For your family
What a beautiful pair
Que linda historia.
All the bless, your family save a baby girl's life
That feeling :')
I’m 27, still single and completing my university degree but I wanted to adopt/ foster in the future.
Subscribed to the channel♥️❤️☺️
Wow how can some people dislike this
I want to adopt had two kids before but it was more so Fostering until there mother got on her feet that was the best yrs of my life being apart of those two kiddos to now hoping I find a love of my life to adopting
I would like to adopt from China someday 😍
I hope so i adopt also..
Awesome, you two are a great fit, she is wonderful and she feels your love, congrats, give us a follow up video, it would be cool.
may god bless this love
💕💕💕
I really think many countries should try to adopt out all the children before 6 months old
Wow
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.
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 adopt@holtinternational.org!
you will both make each other happy. in Jesus name.
I think Chinese babies are the cutest of all!
I really want to adopte someday ❤️
Is this from china or malaysia
How tall is she? Just asking
Oh I want to know more about how they are doing!!
any update on this?
Hi Daniel, we have a video of Liz Ellia two years later on our channel here: czcams.com/video/n-B2GsIWKhU/video.html&lc=Ugyge1vNat2QfM3Y_kR4AaABAg!
💗✨💗✨

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.
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.
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.
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
Is Liz single? I'd like to know if China allows single parent adoptions.
Yes, China allows single parents to adopt!
Holt International Children's Services do you need to speak the language?
Hi Evelyn, speaking the language is not a requirement, but we definitely encourage parents to get to know the culture and country that they are adopting from!
@@HoltInternational is it possible to adopt a healthy child from china now? Thank you for your work
@@highonhope9369 Hi there, today, all children waiting for adoptive families through the international process are either older in age, part of a sibling group or have some degree of special need. Please feel free to reach out to us at adopt@holtinternational.org to learn more about the children waiting for families!
Is a single woman can adopt a child? I tried inquiring but they said single woman is not.qualified for adoption. I am inspired with this.
Hello, thanks for your inquiry! Adoption eligibility requirements vary from country-to-country. You can view all of the criteria from the countries we work with on our website at www.holtinternational.org/adoption/criteria.php 😊
Why are they giving other namens?
Traduzione in Italiano
Congratulations on your new families but please don't forge5 about all the American children just longing and waiting in orphanages needing forever families and new homes! God bless you and your families always!
Why so many people adopt kids from China? And those people who came with Ellia were her parents?
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!
Thank you for your answer!
‘Gotcha Day’ is a grotesque term.
How old is ellia?
She was 2 or 3 when she was adopted.
Yep that's it I'm gonna be frickin Angelina jolie and adopt kids
Pp q pp
I plan on adopting. Cause I only have 40% change of getting pregnant. Plus I'm still a virgin 😂.
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!!
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!
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
@@judyjeanson7742 Yes, I realize that now, I was very young when I wrote this comment and rewatching this video and seeing the comment replies, exactly right! 💛
@@judyjeanson7742 Thank you for enlightening me!!
@@mercedesjaay I had a friend who adopted from China and she was the one traumatized. She hadn’t thought through how hard it was to take on a kid as a single mother. She and they got through it but there were so many unknowns, expenses, sacrifices, and sleepless nights.
