The Hootens go to Nanjing China to bring home Josie Rose! The Hooten's have started a vlog!!! Subscribe to this channel to follow along on our adventures.
I was adopted from Korea. My parents had a son and daughter and prayed to God about adoption. I was also abandoned and left on the streets. I am so forever grateful that my parents saved my life.
Oh wow. But ya know what? There's no greater love than the love an adoptive parents have for their very special gifts from God. So glad you experienced family and love. I wish I could adopt 10 babies who need a family. I'm too old now. I didn't know there were so many orphans in the world until 2 yrs ago. It should be more known.
Reminds me of when I met all three of my wonderful daughters. Adoption is a gift and a responsibility. The greatest gift. I am forever grateful for all of my daughters, both biological and adopted. Please support your daughter in understanding their birth culture and language. It's so important.
Josie is so proud that she is from China! We celebrate that part of her story all the time. So great that you know the joy of adoption as well. God bless!
She seemed to adjust quickly. Perhaps because she is younger than most u see on here. Her grieving period was not long unless the parents didn't want to show that. She's sooo sweet. So beautiful
there's just something so precious about baby Chinese girls I know that so many need homes and you are so lucky you have a beautiful baby there she is just precious I hope that she grows up to be a wonderful woman and serves the Lord she's beautiful and you are so blessed to have her please remember that many of us want to adopt but we don't have the money or means to do it I would love to have a little girl from China I love watching these videos I wish you all well
thank you for adopting her! God bless your family! Can you please keep her studing Mandarin if it is possible? Thanks again and i am moved by your warmest and kindest adoption!🙏
Adoption is a sad and beautiful thing. Sad that her birth parents didn't choose/couldn't choose to keep her; beautiful that she gets to be a part of your lovely family. Congratulations. Love is love is love.
That one guy who told you ‘handsome man hello’ and ‘foreigner I don’t understand you’ was my favorite. He seemed awesome. Amazing family as well, god bless.
Hi hooten, how are you. My friend send this video's link to me from China( I am living in Australia now) ,Because they find my father inside this video. Yes the funny guy you met on the wall. He normally walking on the old wall to his work place probably that's why your guy met there. I don't think he know what your family doing there in my city. Otherwise he definitely will give your guys a thumbs up 👍.And he was trying to teach you how to say 'handsome guy ' in mandarin but unfortunately he don't really speak English so he couldn't answer you back. Anyway I admired what your guy did for this girl. Her life been totally changed. Thanks for everything .
That is amazing!!!! Your father was so amazing. He was the highlight of our day. Such a funny kind man. Please tell him the crazy dude from the wall said hello.
@@hiyou969 and why are Americans better?! Your comment is beyond stupid. All babies/children are a gift. No baby is better than any other. They are all unique & perfect. It has nothing to do with nationality.
Such a precious addition to your family. My friend adopted a 1yr girl from Nanjing 4 yrs ago and I went to the assist.. At that time discouraged families from visiting orphanages. Definately brought back many memories.
8:44 The Chinese man was so friendly and humor ,he was just joking to say :" I don't understand, I ate cheese too little" Because cheese is western food. Ha Ha Ha 哈哈😄
I keep coming back to this must have viewed it 6 times since yesterday, it's so beautiful. I love the whole dynamics of this her coming in with her nanny she was held and dressed with love and the look on the nannies face when she handed her over to her daddy then when leaving orphanage The little white outfit she wore to her finding place was beautiful and I think it both made her the prettiest and most precious little angel ever. She looked so young and so trusting. My heart aches for these children you know the future will be so much better emotionally, physically and financially for her but she lost her root, her past, her history. No one in the western world can ever understand the abandonment of a baby a new born in a public park a store out on a walkway and no one but those children will ever know the feeling it is to think you were thrown away like some no longer wanted rubbish, but I'm sure that if it had been possible and they had assistance most of these little Chinese roses mums would have kept them. Josie is really a truly an outstandingly beautiful baby and I'm sure will bloom in such a lovingly warm family environment. Thank you so much for sharing your treasure with us and your faith. Bless you all please show us updates as even in these lovely babies life stories she honestly does stand out like a beacon in the dark and I'm sure that others seeing both her natural beauty and the strength and compassion of her new family can only be truly blessed as I was Thank You .......As I said I keep coming back to this this time by viewing another post but decided to watch it again as her little fingers are wrapped round my heart. Today for the first time I noticed the expression on the nannies face when daddy held out his arms to Josie and she moved into them herself. The look was very much surprise. Oh Lord she is a precious little lamb and having found some of the other post from family you both see and feel the love surrounding her. The girls sang ..oh precious is the flow . In an empty church holding Josie as they sang and goosebumps formed. Your family is precious and blessed and young Josie has just found another prayer mama far away in Bonnie Scotland as do her sisters blessings to all of you In His Name
Maree kettle I love your merciful comments about birth parents. It's very disheartening to hear/read accounts of judgment, especially, all too often, from those who profess to be "believers". This particular video has a lot of love running all through it: Seeing love between perfect strangers, etc is seeing heaven early. :-) Peace, everybody.
Well, you gave it away. Roll Tide! and I think I recognize the Birmingham airport. I live in Trussville. This video was amazing. All of you are blessed. Josie is precious are so are her sisters. You and your husband are beautiful people. So full of life and great humor. I just love the Chinese culture too. May God bless you...becky
Your biological children are also kind and humble just like you 2. God bless your family. We still have hopes for this earth thanks to special people like you.
May God continue to bless your family. His love is so richly reflected in each of you. This is such a beautiful, happy memory you've preserved. Thank you for sharing.
I wonder always what the babies think when they go back to the orphanage. I could watch this video a hundred times. Love this family and how in tune they are with baby. Never alone, ever again, baby girl.
It’s sad when they found the baby at the bushes it just breaks my heart 💜 will I’m glad you take full responsibility to take that child in. God is good
Just that moment when you first held her, it felt so emotional, the love in your face ! I nearly cried....she is amazing and one of the cutest babies I’ve seen💝🌸💖🌸
This was a really great and heartwarming video with great music that fit the moments well, I don't know how many times I've come back to this video but as a fellow Chinese adoptee who was adopted 21 years ago, watching these kind of videos really hits home. I'm sure Josie will really appreciate seeing this video when she's older. Families like this are amazing and I'm glad Josie found a family to love her forever!!!
Awww!!! Josie you are adorable!! Congratulations!!! I am so glad that you adopted her!!! I am crying. I,m so glad that the ophanage found her. I am so glad that Josie has a brand new family that will love her and keep her safe. I love your dog!!! He or she is beautiful!!! You have a beautiful family!!! 💖💖💖
Adoption is really hard😭 everytime i watche an adoption video, i always think about their parents, where they are,how they are, and i really want to help in whatever condition they are, but i cant help everyone, you two did something that only people with a good heart would do and im sure shes in good hands... i also hope her parents are fine💖
Beautiful video and beautiful family. I teach English online to children in China. Though we adopted 5 children from foster care here in the US I now wish we had also included some children from China. Amazing cutlure. Blessing on you all.
I only just now stumbled across your channel, and I have to say I really respect your family- I admire your centeredness on God and faith, and I hope to see more great things from you in the future
The sunlight shining through at the end of this as ur friends and family welcomed ya'll home,, well it was like God was saying "Welcome Home Sweet Childen Of Mine I Love You So". It was like He was Given y all a welcome home hug Himself.... Beautiful touching video ,when he reached and took her from her caregiver over in China I started bawling but when he passed her to u ,,,,y'all i lost it( sobbing, tears, hiccuping ,snot flying ...oh yeah the "ugly cry" as the teenagers would say lol) that was one of the most beautiful heart warming moments ..God bless and keep u and urs...and thank u so very much for sharing this great blessing with little ol me from Tenneessee...
I love how she immediately reached out for you both, like she wasn't scared, that's so rare and magical! You can even see the look of surprise on the lady's face at 4:36 !!! How sweet, I loved this so much
Beautiful! Made me cry multiple times. Adoption is such a picture of the Gospel. I have 5 kids in a small house, but if I had the means, I would love to adopt a little girl from China. For now, God has me nurturing and homeschooling the kids he has blessed me with. May He continue to bless your family!
I was adopted from Korea. My parents had a son and daughter and prayed to God about adoption. I was also abandoned and left on the streets. I am so forever grateful that my parents saved my life.
Sarah Carlson beautiful
Bless you Sarah 🤧 I was adopted as well slightly different from England I England 1960 😘
Oh wow. But ya know what? There's no greater love than the love an adoptive parents have for their very special gifts from God. So glad you experienced family and love. I wish I could adopt 10 babies who need a family. I'm too old now. I didn't know there were so many orphans in the world until 2 yrs ago. It should be more known.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We adopted our sons (brothers) from Korea in 1978. They were 8 and 6.
There is so much kid in this world who didn't have family, and you guys doin something great
I keep shedding tears saying “I can not wait.” Thank you Lord for speaking to my heart all these years about adoption. I will obey. I can not wait. ❤️
6:30 i see many child laugh and smile with them like they still wait new father and mother would come and take them to be Family too , i cried 😭
This is the true essence of Christianity ... there is no greater deed you can do for your fellow man ...God Bless you and your family X

So beautiful. Felt all the emotions. God blessed.
What a beautiful family. Such a wonderful gift for this little girl to find such a family to love her even before they knew her
She seemed to adjust quickly. Perhaps because she is younger than most u see on here. Her grieving period was not long unless the parents didn't want to show that. She's sooo sweet. So beautiful
She adjusted so quickly. We know that is not the norm and are thankful that Josie blended right in with our family. She is such a gift to us!!!
God bless you!!!!! Much health for all of you!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So many beautiful kind people in the world xxxxxx
I would love to adopt a child one day. I would want to give a child a chance to have a life that they deserve❤️❤️
I'm a new mum. I don't know what did I search on Google to get this recommendation... But this is sweet and I am so touched watching it.

its only beautiful thing for baby,,,sad is for her biological parents.....

@@Sanjay-vr4mr yes but there is birth control. It upsets me that there are MILLIONS of orphans in China alone. Why not use birth control or abstinence
B
@@barbibutton9619 Abstience has nver been a good way to not get pregnant. Birth control isn't avaliable around the world like in the western world.
Part of my dream is to adopt one day.
MegaBieber8 Welcome to the family friend ^_^
Good for you. It's awesome!
Me too
Mee too
Me too :(
That one guy who told you ‘handsome man hello’ and ‘foreigner I don’t understand you’ was my favorite. He seemed awesome. Amazing family as well, god bless.
OlsenMania I knew he mentioned he didn’t understand but it’s been rare since I’ve heard foreigner so I was so confused 😂😂

I will let him know. Thank you very much
what a coincidence,好巧！
@@user-sx1cd2ot5q
Coincidence is how God remains anonymous.
竟然还有这么巧的事情
The Chinese man said, hello, handsome. Then he said, I haven't eaten enough cheese, can't understand what you said.
自由吗 your right!
Breaks my heart seeing all those precious kids in that orphanage. 😞
Shes cute. And seems very headstrong. Which is good. She looks smart.
I might be wrong but not only are Asian babies adorable but they do seem smarter than Americans. I'm not prejudice because I am American lol
Barbi Button yea those Asians do be pretty smart but at the end of the day Americans are still better
@@hiyou969 and why are Americans better?! Your comment is beyond stupid. All babies/children are a gift. No baby is better than any other. They are all unique & perfect. It has nothing to do with nationality.
Κ Μερκουρη I’m not saying American babies are better I’m saying American humans are better in general😌
@@hiyou969 I dont agree at all. I think it depends on the person. Doesnt depend on nationality.
Such a precious addition to your family. My friend adopted a 1yr girl from Nanjing 4 yrs ago and I went to the assist.. At that time discouraged families from visiting orphanages. Definately brought back many memories.
Sally Croft made me cryyyy
One member of this beautiful family will be a singer. 😂
When one gets adopted I feel sorry for the others...look at their innocent beautiful face waiting to get a family of their own....
