Today yiXi had to see a pediatric endocrinologist. As he went through her file he says, " Did you go to China specifically for THIS baby or for any baby"
I replied, " this one"
Doctor, " Did you realize she had Downs Syndrome before you went????"
me, " Yes."
Doctor," Did you know about the health issues associated with downs??"
me, "yes"
Yes, I knew. I also knew there was a tiny baby girl left lying on the side of the road..abandoned and alone. No one came for her. No one stepped forward to claim her. No one stepped forward to adopt her. She just waited. Weeks became months and no still no one. I saw those eyes when I closed my eyes at night. I thought of a little girl who would be forgotten in an institution and never know love. Even worse she may never know there was a God who loved her and created her perfectly! Yes, it was for " this baby" I traveled over the ocean. When I knew in my heart that God had chosen me to have the wonderful honor fo being her mother, it would take a lot more than her health issues to stop me. God chose this baby, and I feel blessed!
