Beautiful Tech Girl Growing Up

We adopted her from China in 2004, she was nine months old. She was a victim of her country's laws. One child per family! 

When we arrived in China in 2004 to pick her up. The Chinese orphanages were swelling with unwanted children. (They were never unwanted) Her orphanage had a reported four hundred children. When we arrived we were only allowed to see fifty children. Two rooms, with twenty five kids a room. Of course those two rooms were perfect, and all the children were bundled in endless layers of clothes. Our group was only taking nine children from that orphanage. When seeing fifty, nine months old, all I could think of was "why can't you give us another one right now, there are so many children who need loving homes, come on, paperwork is useless right now, give us a two for one price, at least! That was my thought. As I held onto Little Shayla I felt sad for the children who would grow up possible with no parents. No family. When we could offer that to another easy as a yes.
Here she is now. 
What a great human being she is. So beautiful. Little Shayla is filled with technology desire and overuse of it. Ahhh, she will have the pc going, the ipad going and her headset on, all at the same time. It's like she is running a airport flight system. She is an all technology obsessed girl. 


Please adopt children from other countries or your country. There are children all around the world who need good parents like you. Hint: You don't have to be that good, that perfect, cause we are not, and Little Shayla loves us. Yeah, you're not perfect, neither are we, but you can offer a kid a chance at a better life, yes, you! You can do this. 
Look at 'Little' Shayla, a beautiful American girl. Her fate, if we did not adopt her: Grow up in the orphanage and become a prostitute if pretty, or a house cleaner if ugly. Well, that's crazy. But True. 
Now she has parents, a brother, and numerous animals. Plus technology galore! Yeah, she's happy, and we are blessed.
