[JWilensky]

Thank you for sharing this (we're waiting for our referral -- watching these videos is what we do while waiting!

[fulaniprincess]

she is BEAUTIFUL

THE west has an ageing population, high infertility is becoming a problem.

adopt the babies of this world that need u. don't waste a quarter million usd on fertility treatments.

i think its unfair when people make a fuss over adopted african babies..... the same doesn't apply to s.america, asia and east eu..

[antelopeinfo]

wow a very good family, you adopt the beautiful baby and what a smile. God bless your family . Make sure you have to feed her Injera some times for lunch..

[mitmita777]

[hollybreeze]

I'm crying! What a great video. my husband and I are adopting a baby girl from ET.  We are gathering dossier documents and waiting for our home study to be finalized. Thank you for making this wonderful video.

[numnum211]

you are really lucky to have such wonderful children. i hope that your video incourages people to adopt from ethopia (if they want to adopt) because the are so many children out there that need the kind of love and care you give to your daughter.

may you all be safe and blessed :)

[birdlala3]

oh my goodness your video is amazing!!! I was in tears by the time I finished watching your slide show. I was also adopted from Ethiopia and felt like your child's journey was alot like mine. Your children are very beautiful and you guys are wonderful parents. May God bless your family!!!

[EX0TIQU3]

OMG She's So Cute!! God Bless You. I'm So Curious In What The Lady Is Telling The Baby At 2:40?? Just Out Of Curiousity Did You Meet The Biological Mother?

[juliebot333]

I wish we knew what she was saying to our daughter. We don't speak Amharic (yet).

We did travel south to meet our daughter's surviving birth relatives, who we are still in contact with.

[softlyblueselly]

[omoibile]

At 4:51 Mum and daughter resembles. Those cheeks and nose.

[Calethio]

God bless you for arranging a better life for the girl.If many people do their part to make a child's life better;that would give a bright future for kids who are being punished for just being born in a poor family. I, myself,as new immigrant to US I give a great thank for those of you who adopt or assist a child in Ethiopia. I say this b/c I was there,I lived the life of having a poor parent who love me so much but unable to buy me a pair of shoes.I hope you understan a poor writing of a Cab dr

[DOLEBET]

[wowotif]

omg she is too cute. she got the best family in whole word. god bless her family

[hagereyy]

WOW!! What a beautiful video! So touching, I could not stop the flow of my tears. She is such a charming, beautiful, and the cutest angle. She is indeed special and born to live life laughing and smiling:) You have beautiful boys and such a loving family. one can just tell how happy this baby is to be in the warm arms of her new beloved family. I am sure her nannies in Ethiopia miss her terribly. Thank you for sharing such a kindness, happiness, and the love in your home with us! THANK YOU!

[PianistCor]

She's the cutest little girl I have ever seen in my whole life!! The Lord really blessed you with her!

[amandastudent]

That part when you hold her and then a tear comes out is really touching.

[amandastudent]

She is so cute!! Did you adopt her?

[kardancer1]

@amandastudent Yes they did. If you watch the video and the description it shows her in the orphanage, in Ethiopia and in the description of the video. Did you not watch it all? Or miss something. I do agree though she is cute.

[ksmama06]

These 5 minutes flew by! What a beautiful girl! I have a hair question b/c my baby girl seems to have the exact same hair yours did when you picked her up, yet later it looks full all over. Did you cut it down, first, or did it just catch up? :)

[fxmixer]

Thank you for the feedback. Her hair just filled in over the year.

[juliebot333]

That's a hubby's response of course. ;) Wife here, and we let her hair grow in for about 5 months and then I cut it, which evened up the length.

[blinkandoverlook]

I stumbled upon another family's international adoption video and it led me to yours. For quite a while now I've known I'd like to adopt children from Africa (I volunteered in Kenya and fell in love with the country), and seeing these videos really confirms it for me. Thank you for showing us your story. You have a lovely daughter--and look at that hair! All my best to you and your family.

[WWJDethio]

OMG! She's so cute.. God Bless You all for your good deed.

[Ethiopiakonjo]

GOD Bless your heart!!!

[jonahlover]

God bless you!!!

[meaza1234]

God bless you and your children. the baby looks just like you. you are fulfiling the calling of Christ to take in the fatherless and motherless. May God reward you for your sacrafice.

[emayie]

You got a happy child.You guys are good people that is why you got a happy child.

.....The music you used as a sound track is not that good for the story ...I know the meaning of the lyrics and it does not fit with your child's story. Any way. Thankyou guys you have changed a life of a child for life.

[EriBling]

such a beautiful baby girl...has truly inspired me
