A video of my niece's adoption

I would like to share with you a short video I made of my niece's adoption. It shows what the experience is like....and the beauty of it.

My niece Chloe.

Thank you for the kind responses. When Chloe returned from China we sat around watching the home footage from China, and I realized that there was a better way to tell the story. I wanted to create something for Chloe to see where she came from and her birth into the family. Since showing it to people I am amazed at the reaction and little knowledge people have about the adoption process. My brother and his wife are leaving for China next week to adopti a little boy, I can't wait to make his video and share his experience with others.

Having children is such a wonderful thing, and I am very moved by families like my brother and yourself who adopt. The children are so lucky and so are you. Chloe is my niece and I cannot express my feeling for her. She fits perfectly into our family....

Thier stories deserve to be told and shared.

That was so beautiful, it made me cry too. I cannot wait to have a video our our daughter coming into our family. How wonderful a memory to have on film and share with her someday.

Thanks for sharing.

OMG

Makes you cry...very emotional...I can't imagine the feelings at the time when they hand you YOUR child after so much waiting and work...it has to be better than labor pains!
Good choice for a song also.

Would you be able to do this for other couples/singles who send you footage from an adoption?

I am so glad you liked the video.

On Thursday I went over to my nieces' house to make a cake with them for their dad's return from China. I told Chloe about how much her video has meant to people who are adopting babies. She was very happy and proud of herself.

In a week my sister-in-law will return with my nephew Will. I can't wait to share his experience with you all.

Your babies will be here before know it...

Best,

Sarah
