Hank's Adoption Announcement

[hkmom11]

I'm also from Suzchou! It's nice to see someone else from there cause a lot of the Chinese I meet are from well known parts of China like Beijing or Shanghai.

[hpcwsd]

Hank will be famous ! mark my words ! He is a beautfiul child ... now he is ?? 10 yrs old and living in USA?

[vmax1997]

Thank you so much for the announement. I will always hear Solsbury Hill when I watch this video. We adopted two children from Korea (2003, 2005) I was able to go to pick up my daughter in 2005. Hank is always in my heart.

Duluth, MN

[thailandadoption]

[pi3k]

Wow, he is so adorable!!!!! Adoption is so great, what a blessed little guy and blessed parents, too.

[GlitterFlame89]

Aww, he is so adorable! Best wishes to your family! I'm getting two adopted brothers, hopefully they come here for good on February 17th. I can't wait for them to get here, the waiting is SO hard.

[DjLMFAO]

[donnat]

Hank and such a beautiful child!

[SuperSexymama29]

I have completely fallen in love with this beautiful little boy. I'm so happy he has such awonderful family that loves him so much.All my love and best wishes go out to this family.

[Magsiemagee]

Hank is gorgeous and you have a beautiful family. God bless and all best wishes!

[CookyPuss1127]

Hank is absolutely adorable !!!!!

[FamilyNow3]

This video was a big inspiration for me when I started my adoption journey. I now have a beautiful baby girl. Adoption is so special.

[paschen2219]

you look so happy with him, and him too. beautiful

[1963chia]

Beautiful!! I can see that he is very much a daddy's boy. We too had adopted a child and since he came home to us, watching him every day is like witnessing a small miracle evry each day!!

[tophrocks234]

I saw your post on the NOAH message boards and had to come check this out! I have OCA type 3 and I think it's AMAZING that you adopted him! He is one of the cutest little boys in the world!

[RapidEyesCream]

did the parents abandon him because he was albino? but if they did, i can see why, since they are only allowed one child in China and they want their ideal child.

[bridgetblose]

What do you mean you can see why? Would you abandon your child because they were a little bit different?

[RapidEyesCream]

well they are only allowed one child, of course they want to have the best child.

and no i dont think i would abandon my child just because of albinism.

[sprinklefriend]

what defines "best"? your limited definition of "normal"?

[hoolym]

We have no way of knowing for sure why he was abandoned. As most children are, Hank was abandoned with no background information.

It could have been because of his Albinism. There also could have been a perfectly legitimate reason his parents were not able to care for him (death, illness, loss of income). Albinism would have been obvious at birth but he wasn't abandoned until he was an older toddler. I lean towards thinking something unfortunate happened and his parents had no choice

[Treemeadow]

yeah, Peter Gabriel got onto me for having one of his songs too. A bit snooty and behind the times, in my opinion. Such a shame, the original song you had was so warm and upbeat.

[Treemeadow]

@Treemeadow Turns out its not Peter Gabriel, but Warner Music. They're actually well known for being very protective of their property- but when sales dropped due to this very fact, they decided to take down some of the more stringent copyright policies they had in place.

[GranolaLola1]

you can tell he is really loved. your family is such an inspiration.

[frogsfearme]

Absolutely beautiful... both the video and Hank.

[Kiljan137]

he's really cute. he reminds me of The Avatar.XD

[sallyboo1979]

they say adopting a child and loving him as your own is the greatest form of unconditional love. God bless your family!

[DarkLord0fSunshine]

wow, just amazing, many families wouldnt even consider adoption, but you did :) God bless you!

[freacls]

aaww hes a darling little boy hes so cute hell break many hearts when hes older i send hima cuddle my friends little girl is like Hank shes 2 she has only 5 per cent vision much lower than Hanks i think but shes a bunndle of fun she had hiccups yestarday and they were cute

[ThefirstGluhbirne]

He's an adorable little boy. You are very blessed.

[pandasuicides]

how old was he when he went to the US?hope the little boy gets a great future!

[hoolym]

He was 5, just a few weeks from his 6th Bday.

[pandasuicides]

Thx for your reply, and good luck with your family^_^

[hoolym]

While a large number of children adopted from China are girls, there are many boys available as well.

[Hanna611]

I thought that only female babies and children were available for adoption from China

[laetitia90]

It's because Hank is albinos. They hate such kids in China.

[katsrayoflight]

What a very Handsome, Precious, Lucky , and very happy little boy.

[rattypajamas]

Congratulations on the adoption. He'll bring you lots of joy.

[misteeq64]

Chinese boy are never given into adoption only girls .Because he is albinos they let him go.Because mother China does not tolerate anything different

[blueeyd143]

You have obviously not educated yourself on Chinese adoption. There are many boys available of all ages with and without medical needs. I have a beautiful boy adopted from China.

[Treemeadow]

China has a one-child per city family policy, its very hard to manage population in a crowded country. This is why there are many hildren available.

[baddamom]

Why is his hair blonde?

[sweetesttaboo2k]

Thank you for posting this, Hank is a very adorable little boy.

Much Love,And Many((((Hugs))))

Sheryl:)

[feather123pillow]

how old is he now?

[gwendiaspapa]

We were in China last November adopting our 6 year old from Nanjing. It looks as though, at one point, we had the same guide...she's in 1 of your pictures! Nancy?

Suzhou is beautiful! The "Venice of China", right? I've heard the gardens are beautiful during the summer as well.

DH is back now, adopting our son from Changzhou, so your pictures look quite familiar. :)

[adrian09az]

tomatela ponelo en privado

[jaxangelchica]

You are so awesome for bringing Hank into your home and also for giving him a chance. Many families wouldn't have ever considered adopting a kid with albinism and I pray that God will bless you for it! Best wishes!

[vanillapie]

God bless people who adopt children!

[scrappyscrap]

what a good looking boy, congrats.

One of my favorite songs, and the song fit perfectly with this video, i dont think I can ever listen to that song again without having your sons face in my head.

What a special couple you guys are that choose to adopt an older child. I love hearing that not everyone sits around waiting for the new born when there are other children already in need of homes.

[RequiemOfDarkness]

Adorable young boy! I wish this family happy holidays and send my best wishes!

[vmax1997]

Love the announcement. Enjoy watching it to brighten my day. Merry Christmas to your family.

[3mmerz]

is he albino? he's so pale.... congratulations, and wish ya the best of luck :)

[hoolym]

Yes, Hank does have Albinism.

Thanks for the good wishes!

[danielle1105]

Does he speak english? How do you communicate?

P.S. He is gorgeous, Best wishes in the future!

[hoolym]

Hank did not know any English when he first came home. We tried to learn some Mandarin, at least the important things (we love you, are you hungry etc). He is a fast learner!  Now his English is almost perfect.

[danielle1105]

Oh brilliant. Best wishes and good luck in the future :)

[voglergurl]

Congradulation to your family and the little boy! We both have something in common. I was adopted from Hong Kong in 1986. I'm now 24 years old and live in Canada with my adopted parents. Take Care!

[freacls]

[kiddlyjesus3000]

he is a cute baby boy no matter what others might say and as long as he is happy and feeling good that the best for him from me butterfly kisses

[crms15]

I got shivers haha. Your son is absolutely beautiful and the video was amazing. Congrats!

[Akosuakate]

This is a wondergul video.  I loved the photos and the song. They were beutiful. Hank is soooo cute.

[Treemeadow]

God is leading me down this path!

I won't be giving birth to my kids, well, at least not all of them (I'd rather adopt each and every one if I can)

Adoption is a truly wonderful way of building the family.

[Orankai]

I wish you guys the best of luck.

[Dakotagemini3]

He is a Beautiful Boy! We are so happy for the 3 of you guys! Good Luck and Enjoy your Lives Together as a Family!!!

[CrescentBay]

[slipperymeat]

thanks that was awesome. Im usually not easily reached but found that quite touching.

[noraklagrangian]

wow that was good. good music. and it's very heartwarming to know there is still love out there.

[alixrollings]

Your movie is beautiful and Hank is gorgeous, I shed a few tears with the emotion of it.. Having come from a family with 6 adopted siblings, I know the feeling of completion when your new brother you have waited so long to meet comes home. I hope you get the chance to see my mums video of my lil bro and sis, she was inspired by the way you made yours... It's called "Our children's Indian adoption reunion".. Thanks for sharing your amazing journey...

[Treemeadow]

Hank's orphanage looks very well run and organized. The bedroom actually looks like my old school dorm!

[theosdas]

This is such a sweet touching video.

What a beautiful family!

[ukofgreatbarbarian]

Thank you for your love

[lukygirl314]

He is such a handsome boy with a smile that lights up the room. My daughter loves the video.. thanks for sharing and best wishes. Happy Fathers Day!!

[MeiHua16]

[ninamom1972]

How blessed mom and dad are to have such boys as these two! Best of continued happiness to you all!

[SuperPais]

Great video.

Thats what people must do. Adoption as to help children, not to take away children from poor parents.

All the best to all of you.

[heidi1970]

I was adopted almost 37 years ago, and I am so blessed! Hank is beautiful, as was this video. Very well done! Sincerely, Heidi

[0mgwhat]

[AshezTube]

[arkiepicker]

Wonderful...simply wonderful. We adopted a girl from China last year. I see these pictures and really relate to the emotions portrayed here. I am so happy for you and Henry. What a blessing for all of you!

[vmax1997]

[lerbienelson]

I am so happy to see that Hank has found his forever family! We saw his picture on Rainbow Kids when we found our son Ridley (also has Albinism, home since March 2006). I was hopeful that Hank found his forever family when his picture was taken off of the website! Thank you for sharing this video!

[bsabobi]

I'm extremely happy for Su le Bai! I know him, as my husband and I volunteered in Suzhou welfare institute for a while; he is a very active and funny little treasure. I have got some pictures of him. If you would like me to share them with you, drop me a line. Congratulation!

[Rosalba69]

Beaufiful little boy! I to have albinism although I am caucasian. Although it's not always an easy conditon to live with I'm sure that you will give him all of the love and support that he needs. Sweet video :-D
