She just turned nine years old, and is living at the Shantou Social Welfare Institute, Guangdong Province, China. She is a happy, healthy little girl who needs a family. She is a good student, loves to giggle, sing, and play with friends. She is hard working, helpful, caring and brave. All of this we have learned from her reports and the nannies that care for her.
She has captured our hearts and we are going to be her family.
Eric and I decided that we have room in our hearts and our home for one more child. China has approved us.
It will be two years ago on May 13, that Megan Ling joined our family. We cannot imagine our life without her. People frequently say to us “she is lucky to have you”. That is no doubt true. To grow up as a parentless child is a fate no person should ever have to know. To have an adult (or two) come into your life and choose you, give you hope, love you, cherish you; that is a wonderful gift. But she is not the luckiest. We are. We have been blessed beyond belief with the joy of loving her. She is such an amazing child each and every day we are so thankful to have had the chance to be part of her life.
Dear Shanna, we are coming. Stay well, be happy, and dream of your new family. We love you. Mommy & Daddy
