An Unexpected Mother Journey To Adoption In China
When I embarked on an unexpected journey to become a mother through adoption in China, little did I know the incredible roller coaster ride that awaited me. From the first moment I made the life-altering decision to adopt, to the moment I held my beautiful child in my arms, this journey has been filled with both challenges and moments of pure joy that I will cherish forever.
The Decision to Adopt
Like many women, motherhood had always been a dream of mine. However, circumstances in my life led me down a path where traditional means of becoming a mother were not viable options. After much soul-searching and research, I came across stories of other women who had successfully adopted from China. The idea resonated with me, and I felt deep within my heart that my child was waiting for me in this faraway land.

The decision to adopt was not an easy one. The process, the paperwork, the emotions - it felt overwhelming at times. But the immense longing to become a mother propelled me forward, giving me the strength I needed to navigate through each obstacle that came my way.
The Adoption Process
From filling out endless forms to undergoing background checks and home visits, the adoption process in China was meticulous and thorough. Each step brought me closer to my child, but also tested my patience and resilience as I waited for the approval to bring my daughter home.
During this time, I immersed myself in learning about Chinese culture, language, and traditions. I wanted to provide my child with a strong cultural foundation and ensure she would grow up embracing her Chinese heritage. The process became not just about becoming a mother, but also about understanding and honoring the country and culture that would forever be a part of our lives.
A Trip to Remember
The moment finally arrived when I got the call - my daughter was waiting for me in China. Overflowing with excitement and nervousness, I boarded a plane and embarked on a journey that would forever change my life.
Arriving in China, I was greeted by a vibrant and bustling culture unlike anything I had experienced before. From the colorful markets to the beautiful historical sites, every sight and sound was a reminder that this journey was so much more than just adopting a child.
Visiting the orphanage where my daughter had spent the first years of her life was an emotional experience. Meeting the caregivers who had cared for her and witnessed her first steps filled my heart with gratitude and admiration. It was here that I truly understood the importance of adoption and the profound impact it has on the lives of children and families.
The Joy of Motherhood
Bringing my daughter home was a moment of pure bliss. Seeing her blossom from a shy and uncertain toddler into a confident and curious young girl has been the greatest reward of this journey. The challenges we faced along the way, the sleepless nights, the tears shed - they all pale in comparison to the overwhelming love and joy I feel as a mother.
Each day is a new adventure, filled with laughter, learning, and unconditional love. My daughter has opened my eyes to the beauty of the world in ways I never thought possible. Together, we celebrate both our similarities and our differences, embracing the unique blend of cultures that make us who we are.
The journey to adoption in China has been an unexpected, unforgettable, and life-changing experience. It has taught me the true meaning of resilience, love, and family. As an unexpected mother, I am forever grateful for the path that led me to my daughter and the incredible journey we continue to embark on together.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, considering adoption or facing unexpected circumstances, remember that motherhood is defined by the love and dedication you bring into your child's life, regardless of the path you take. Embrace the journey, open your heart, and be prepared to witness the miracles that unfold.

"Will you take her?" she asks.
When Beth Nonte Russell travels to China to help her friend Alex adopt a baby girl from an orphanage there, she thinks it will be an adventure, a chance to see the world. But her friend, who had prepared for the adoption for many months, panics soon after being presented with the frail baby, and the situation develops into one of the greatest challenges of Russell's life.
Russell, watching in disbelief as Alex distances herself from the child, cares for the baby -- clothing, bathing, and feeding her -- and makes her feel secure in the unfamiliar surroundings. Russell is overwhelmed and disoriented by the unfolding drama and all that she sees in China, and yet amid the emotional turmoil finds herself deeply bonding with the child. She begins to have dreams of an ancient past -- dreams of a young woman who is plucked from the countryside and chosen to be empress, and of the child who is ultimately taken from her. As it becomes clear that her friend -- whose indecisiveness about the adoption has become a torment -- won't be bringing the baby home, Russell is amazed to realize that she cannot leave the baby behind and that her dreams have been telling her something significant, giving her the courage to open her heart and bring the child home against all odds.
Steeped in Chinese culture, Forever Lily is an extraordinary account of a life-changing, wholly unexpected love.
