Today I was explaining adoption to a teenager (who made the comment that I was not Jian's "real mom" :)). I explained how I am his real mom, regardless of whether or not I gave birth to him. Then, Jian asked me what we were saying (he was behind me and saw half of my conversation). So, I did, and his response was this: "In China I didn't have a mom or dad, now I have a mom and dad, God helped me to get a mom and dad. Thank you God for giving me a mom and dad!"
WOW - can you get any more precious than that? I had a bit of a hard time finding my way to the car through my tears!

Oh Honey, how very special! And he of his own accord thanked God!
Mom
prayed for you... hugs!!
WOW kinda hard to type this through the tears. Knew the moment I laid eyes on Jinan in February that he was a special boy. Kept telling my husband that he just keeps pulling on my heart strings and I knew he was special. So glad he is with his MOM, DAD and his BROTHER! What a beautiful family you are! Thanks for sharing!
that is awesome!
That is soooo sweet!!!!
Didn't take long with the love and acceptance from his mom, dad, and brother to know that God had done something special for him and all involved!! What a story. What a quick grasp of what love is and what a bold testimony!!! Wow!!
