My El Salvador Mission Trip | 2018
I am so incredibly thankful for the opportunity to return to El Salvador for my second year! I truly felt God's love from everyone there, and I really miss it. I hope you all enjoy this little montage of clips from my trip!

What High Schoolers Actually Wear: Nashville
มุมมอง 5586 ปีที่แล้ว
hey guys! i worked so hard on this, and this was so much fun to film. shout out to sagar and everyone who was filmed. I LOVE ALL OF YOU edit: I made two errors in the video: 1. I forgot to mention the guy in the orange jacket's name and grade. His name is Chris and he is in 11th grade. 2. I wrote the wrong grade for Austin. She is actually in 10th grade, not 11th grade. Sorry about that... prob...

    Your mom’s guess on the scar is probably true. There are many tv shows in China have storyline like that.

    Have you ever thought about trying to find your birth family by taking out an ad in your birth city newspaper, listing your birthday and mentioning the scar? It would be powerful.

      Great question! I definitely have thought of this before. As of now, who knows? I still have a lot of life to live and I don't know where I'll end up. I am certainly open to the idea. Thanks for the comment!

    You are so beautiful! Never doubt that. I wish I had adopted a baby from China. Growing up I wanted to look like I was from China. No doubt that your Mom feels lucky too to have such a beautiful Daughter. Bless you! ❤️

    Sorry to tell you, 5000-year Chinese history is basically a history of oppression and discrimination. Abandoned culture is still very popular in China. Mostly girls or the disabled got abandoned cuz boys are more valued than girls in Chinese culture. A lot of times, baby girls will get aborted if their parent knows the gender of a baby (in China, gender test for unborn children is not allowed to prevent abortion of girls happening, but many Chinese will give the doctor money to know the gender and then decide abortion). Happy you have a great American family. There are a myriad of girls in China are still suffering from violence and discrimination from their own family, school and society.--A girl from China

  • @at4540
    @at4540 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You should be thankful. You are very lucky to be adopted into the first world. If you were abandoned because of a preference for girls, your birth family probably did not have good socioeconomic circumstances as this preference was only prevalent in the poor rural areas of China where life is full of hardship. Girls born in the cities by the early 2000s are cherished. Anyway fast forward now to the year 2018: the families with daughters are all having the last laugh. No matter if you're in the city or rural areas, the ones with sons now need to pay their daughter-in-law with at least a mortgage-less house, brand new car, and hundreds of thousands of USD in money in order to marry. Now that there is the entire population of Canada (35 million) of men who will go forever without marrying due to the imbalanced sex ratio. Nowadays everyone in China wants daughters, the preference has completely changed!

    • @bonniebeams504
      @bonniebeams504 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      She sat there and said she was thankful to her mom to have been adopted. Go watch the beginning again. Your reply was out of line. Who are you to tell her how to feel? Even after she already feels that way? You should be ashamed of yourself.

      Sarah Ottinger 天啦,你居然会中文。而且亲自回复我。我看了TH-cam上面很多中国女婴被领养的故事。你的故事很感人。我把你的故事讲给我退休的妈妈听,她哭了。因为妈妈说如果我是女孩也要被领养,一个上海的高级知识分子都和我家联系好了,他们等待我出生的消息。后来我做了B超,我是男生。后来就没有后来了。I am so glad that you keep your Chinese identification and have a good master of Chinese. Wish you a happy life with your step mom.
