    Wow. I started to cry as soon as you took her in your arms for the first time because I could feel the love you felt for her in my own heart. And it was so sweet of you to track down the woman who found her just to thank her personally and to let her know that the girl she saved is okay and now has a new loving family. I cannot thank you enough for adopting beautiful little Ainsley and sharing your experience with us!!

    That awful time at the start when they cry and cry thru fear, it rips my heart to pieces! And then that sweet moment when the first smile appears and the trust starts to build. It’s pure joy to see ❤️. She’s a darling girl and I’m so happy for y’all.

    Thank you for keeping her given name. I have 5 adopted girls from Asia....2 from China and 3 from Cambodia, all in their 20's now. I kept their names as part of their very long full names and am glad I did. Bless you!

    She is adorable and you have a beautiful family. I am truly shocked you got her so quickly - unheard of but possibly because you had already adopted her brother? She is clearly loved and wanted, something that would never have happened to her in China, and you are truly a blessed family. All good wishes to you all.

    • @GregPullen

      We had a medical expedite, which we thought would still be several more months. We were very fortunate to get her so quickly.

    I’m new to the adoption culture in China. Do most adopted children from China now a days have some special needs? I’m beginning the education process around adopting and would like to know the reality. Thx u

  • @jeanpence7950
    @jeanpence7950 Před 3 lety +2

    Why does the introduction have to be so abrupt? Why can't you let the child get used to you more slowly?

    • @GregPullen
      @GregPullen  Před 3 lety +4

      Yes, it is definitely a quick introduction. I'm not sure how adoptions work in other countries, but in China the first time you meet the child they are handed to you and the orphanage workers stay for a few minutes to answer questions about temperament or food preferences. We adopted 2 children from China at separate times, and in different provinces. Both times, it was pretty quick. Our 2 children took to my wife and I much faster than other children took to their new parents. It's definitely a very hard situation on everyone. We are thankful for the opportunity to raise these children. They are both doing well now.
