BY FAR the most emotional day of our trip so far, getting to visit the finding site where Lincoln was left at the orphanage gate, meet the caregivers who took care of him for the first two years of his life, and more. So much to take in and process, and we are so glad we had this amazing opportunity.

Love your guys channel since the beginning 💗 wish you guys the best on your travels 😄
Wow
Hello sweet and adorable family.
Lovely😘❤
Jude's heart❤.... I wanted to cry when he told you that you could bring home another child.
He gets me every time. He's an amazing kid. They all are, but his heart just stands out to me.
Nate Bolton same! He is so sweet and so funny such a lovely kid
Such an amazing young man. I noticed that as they were getting on the train he let everyone go ahead of him. Such a gentleman.
He is allways a good heart .. sometimes make me cry how innocent life he has... 😘
Is that what he said? I couldn't make out what he said. He's has such a kind, gentle and caring soul/spirit. I love this family. Every single kid is special.
Two years past...Lincoln's classmate is still in the orphanage. Wish this little boy can also have a sweet home in the future!
Hope Lincoln's classmates will be in lovely families in the near future, just like him. Hope they are all grow up to be somebody.
They all are somebody now.
Maybe it is depressing in a way to them because they are not adopted and the likelihood lessens with age apparently.
ecoMama Admin For some in the system it can be very scary getting older. Most people want younger kids which is why some are in the system until they’re 18 and considered adults, leading them to get out of the system to fend for themselves
@@elaine2043 I believe at age 10 they can say whether or not they want to be adopted
Jeon Jungkook that’s only IF someone wants to adopt them. the older you get the least likely you are to be adopted after a certain point. most families take babies and toddlers. a lot of place ask that you at least consider fostering a teen because not many people want to adopt teens.
The fact that he was left @ the gates of the orphanage makes me think that he was left by someone who loved and wanted the best for him.
This day was filled with so many mixed emotions. From awe and excitement to sadness and angst. And yet through it all, there was this amazing feeling of getting to see how cared for our son was by these amazing people for the first 2 years of his life. So humbled and grateful!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You call him our son, thank you so much.
You guys are wonderful parents! Wish you all the best!
You and your wife are incredibly loving people. it was good to see the love that his caretakers had shown him prior to his adoption. You guys are doing a wonderful job in raising such beautiful children. i would hope you guys will inspire other couples to look into adoption as well.
Yea I noticed that the lady said it was three years lol.
I RESPECT THIS COUPLE 100%... I Adopted my son 4yrs ago, and at the time we didn't know he had cancer. He is my sweetest memory today, and I will adopted in his name again.. Nothing but sweet memories, and love for my little dude Greg. Keep loving yours and God Bless you all.
Poor Linky was worried he wasn’t going home with you. You can see he loves you all so much. 💕🙏🏻
Can't lie, that little boy at 2:45 seemed so in love with you guys, it broke my heart
I wanna adopt him in the future if I get a chance to. They all are just so precious.
i know riiighh he looks so cute, he make me wanna snuggle and take home:(
Lincoln must be a bit afraid, that he might be left there, who knows.
Exactly what I was thinking too.
My immediate reaction as well. He probably recognized everything, but was afraid of being left there. He looked way more relaxed in the evening.
😭 true and I feel a bit sad
Exactly what I was thinking!
Wow....just what I was thinking. He was clingy and seemed very disturbed. The first video in a long time where he hasn't laughed out loud in pure joy. I was fighting back tears for him. I am so happy that he is a "Miller"...and so is he.
I'm from Taiwan, so I was listening in on what Lincoln's teachers and therapists were saying. The woman who they said was Lincoln's main teacher, as soon as she saw him, pointed out that he had done surgery and her smile is honestly so precious and heartwarming. To see that these kids are loved and cared for by the teachers even when they don't have a family gives me so much hope for this world.
Also, thank you for sharing your videos with the world, it's truly a blessing, to see your family grow up together, the bonds between everyone
Loved only so much as a job but not outside of the job
This world needs more people like you two Amanda and Steven, I am so happy
for your family, may you progress,may God bless you all.
Sai Knight fact
It is heart breaking to see so many orphans live in the orphanage waiting for adoption...😭
Can’t control my tears...oh gosh
At least there's a place for them and they arent going from foster home to foster home bc no one wants them, but they all deserve their forever families.
@@TheLg1985 umm orphanages aren’t better than foster homes
There’s this part, at 7:14, when they are trying to take a photo in front of the center, it’s quite sunny so Ethan tries to block the sun with his arms and Liam notices it, he steps a bit to the front to block it for Ethan, even though it’s just a small gesture, i adore it so much and it makes you realize how much they all care for each other, even at such young age
When she said they used to be classmates...I just hope the best for everyone 🙏🏻❤️
I love how Jude calls paapa Miller “Daddy” such a Daddy’s boy!!
Sultans Wife mannnn I had to replay the whole video to watch that part over!! It makes me cry every time I watch it!
Oh man, at 1:15 when your son Jude suggests adopting another child from there 🥰🥰🥰!
That was beautiful.
He's an amazing kid.
It’s good to see him reluctant to leave his parents in this scenario, because it shows how bonded and safe he feels.
I soon want to adopt children. I want to spread the love I have for these angels
Good ideas i wish you could adopt my son
From Uganda
I do as well once I get my career settled. I found out early on with a miscarriage and a stillbirth that I couldn’t have children. Hopefully one day I can adopt many little angels into my life.
I've always considered it but never acted on it. It will happen if/when God sees best.
Sham k Shamy , are you giving up your son?
Those sweet innocent children at the orphanage deserve such wonderful home too
I'm literally crying rn😭❤ I'm just so touched with how much Lincoln improved throughout the years and how much effort you have invested for him. May God bless your family more. So much love 💕
I am adopted from China. I visit my orphanage too. It is definitely mix emotion.
I watched the video, at first I saw Lincoln going to let the lady in orphanage to carry him, but when the lady gojng to carry him over, Lincoln quickly push her away, I was just guessing is Lincoln worry that he will going to be left in the orphanage again, my heart feel ache when I think of that, of cause I know this will not happen, cause the Millers family love Lincoln so so much!!
When I think about how selfless the parents of this family are I am blown away. I hope one day I can have a sliver of the passion and kindness they have, it is honestly incredible. I am not religious but when I think of the most "Christ-like" people I think of them! So glad you all are having such a great time in China, even with the sad moments.
Bless Linky do you think he was worried you were leaving him there so emotional God bless you for all that you do ❤️❤️
Lincoln might have thought you were taking him back to the Orphanage and leaving him there, bless him, it's good to know its a good orphanage and they love the children .
I LOVE THIS FAMILY SO MUCHH!!
Me too! Greetings from California, USA 🇺🇸
I love this. I can’t wait to see Penelope’s hometown and get to see her friends. Such a sweet family. By the way I love how y’all look at each other. There is such a sweetness in your eyes for one another.
One big message that resonates with me: *children need families* The orphanages are doing great work and try to help children in need, but long term solutions can be only families.
For that I love your channel because you are just one example that shows how wholesome adoption can be. Of course adoption is not easy and sometimes even a long and hard process, but sharing small insights of it - the good and sometimes the more harder things - helps share awareness and maybe also drives other people to open up their home for someone.
I will definitely at some point in my life adopt a child and until then I do try to help in other ways 💝
Yes exactly!
I was expecting to see a different reaction from Linky, but I think his actual reaction was more meaningful. It meant that he actually has a better life now and he is happy with his family. Keep loving each other like you always do.. God bless this family million times ❤️
6:59 this scene, hearing that made me ball out in tears. Bless You and your family! You are all beautiful souls.
Seeing where he was found and dropped off really tugged one my heart strings. I can’t stop crying. What a special boy he is and how lucky he is to have you wonderful parents. I love the Millers. God is so good!
I got the feeling he was very concerned that you took him back there. I hope he forgets this very quickly and not have nightmares of being left there.
Breaks my heart to see all these kids without parents. You two are amazing and your kids are super lucky to have you both.
Every child deserves to grow up in a loving family :(
Those children are so beautiful! It hurts that they are there without families. I was tearing up and my heart hurts for them.
Wow! I'm even tearing up. The Bible says, there's hope for the future. Linky's story gives me hope in the Lord. God bless you guys. You gave this little boy hope. Amazing 🙏🙏😇😇❤️❤️
Masha Allah your family are the best they care each one I'll pray that your family always stay happy and healthy keep smiling lots of love
Daughter: okay don’t put this in *does some dance moves*
Mom and dad: haaahaaaaa we’re gonna put it in anywaysss

Lincoln has such a beautiful soul. Its painful to see how torn he is between being happy and sad about his visit. I wonder what he is thinking about the visit. It’s sad and unfortunate that he went through some rough times but so wonderful that he met two caring parents and has such a beautiful family around him. He is such a happy kid thanks to his family and it just fills my heart with joy seeing him happy.
I know right .. even though he cannot Speak ( I’m sure he will in future because we see him thrive ) he kisses mummy and daddy so much and it’s his way of thanking them for the love and care he gets .. his a very intelligent lil boy
I feel that I am with you on your whole journey to China. Thank you for bringing me to your trip❤😍
To think tht there are thousnds of children who are abandoned and didnt evn get the opportunity to stay in an orphanage..😭😭..lincoln is so lucky to find such a loving family
Thank you for taking us along your family's wonderful journey :)
This made me emotional. Just to know Lincoln got to go to such a loving home and go back to where he was brought to that led him to that is beautiful. He has come such a long way!
linkie get stronger day by day and i'm crying because im so happy ❣️God bless you All ❤️
Seriously though Lincolns smile on that first bit was so cute. He sure is a special one.
I'm not crying, you're crying! How beautiful! I am so glad that you were all able to see where Lincoln started out!

Whenever I see Lincoln I am getting so emotional I love him A Lot....My prayers are with u all....am not good in English but am trying my best to write a loving comment....Lots of Love From Tanzania 🇹🇿
I think you did great and your message was VERY loving ❤ God bless you x
I really love orphanage, I love children with special needs because they have the purest heart. ❤❤❤ I can see the excitement right there Linky. 😘😘 Much love for you buddy.
Lincoln is a fighter seeing him improving everyday makes me absolutely happy.
You're such a kind people you deserve all the things that has been happening in your life.
Love this family.
That was an emotional day for Lincoln. Thank God you adopted him❤️
Must be hard seeing all the other kids in the orphanage and holding back the urge to bring them all back home! At least, the look really happy there! Love you guys and how you are bringing in awareness in adoption.
Aww I love it when Jude carries his younger siblings. Hes such a good big brother.
Heavy hearted after watching this ... It sure was a special day but it was hard to witness as well all those children waiting for a place to call home. Definitely feel the call to adopt when God thinks it's time for me to build a family and I know that's why He put your family on my path ❤️ Jude, my buddy, God bless your heart : I may have told this before, but man this world needs kind compassionate souls like yours, buddy 🙏 Jesus loves you and you are shining His Light ✨ it must have been so emotional for his therapist there to see LinckyLinc progress in walking but what gets me every Time is how he starts to respond by nodding his head when you ask him questions : it's such a blessing to witness!! I know the videos are a little behind cause you're in Penelope's province now : wishing you a great time there as you meet significant people and significant places of her life ♥️😘 blessings and love your way from rainy Paris
Jude certainly is a shining light. What a pure heart he has.
The way lincoln smile always put a smile on my face too...❤❤❤
It breaks my heart that there are children still there from his old class
It feels good to see the way Lincoln got a beautiful, caring family like Millers😃
Every child deserves a family.
World would be more beautiful if there were more Millers ♥♥
Take love from a little country known as Bangladesh. 💜
This video oh my god I just cried so much! Especially when y’all showed the other kids just tore my heart in two. It concretes my desire even more to adopt one day because so many children need homes no matter what. Y’all are my favorite TH-cam family and I hope nothing but the best for all of you . 😭💕💕💕
Maybe he thought you were going to leave him there.
Thats what I thought :(
yeah i think that too
awww
As wonderful as the orphanage is he doesn’t want to be there you can see it, he just wants to be with you and all the love and care you give him💕💕
Oh my, I’m in tears!!!!! 😭 love the interaction you had with the kids at the orphanage. Praying for them all.
Its amazing to see how far he has come and that he remembers the place he came from
This vlog tears to my eyes, Especially when you stood at the gate at Lincoln’s called “finding place” 💕💕
God bless you for all you do for these children. Praying for your safety
Lincoln looked more pensive than I’m other videos. What a great boy, he must have felt the weight of the trip and in some small way wondered what would happen. Thank God, THE MOST HIGH Father seated in heaven that little Lincoln has an amazing family who walked him through this and safely back to their home together. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love how you guys always love for your kids and treat them all equally great loving family
really emotional... it is his second life that God had given to him.. let God bless him.. 😊
also congrats for 400k subscribers.... 😍
I love this family taking care of 7 kids for me that was adorable, me I have One son , his going 3 years old this coming December 20
I THINK THIS FAMILY IS THE BEST FAMILY OF THE WORD . You are awesome guys . (From Austria 🇦🇹 )
Always so emotional to see kids in the orphanage, I hope one day I can make my own family like yours, make a home to kids that needs family. And spread love like you do ♥️♥️♥️
I hope everyone could have a big heart like your family then this world would be nice
Look at my baby Keira’s dance moves and I love how maama and papa never forgot that Ethan is also a baby that requires attention.
Yes, I'm CRYING 😢 who all are with me?
I can't help crying while watching this. Lincoln was emotional but didn't know how to express. Love your family !!! He truly is happy now and gets a lot love from amazing loving mom dad sisters brothers.
I love you, Linky! I love you, Miller fam ❤️ My heart is content knowing that God loves you all so much. You are a treasure in this world.
Wow Lincoln is so lucky he has ended up with you guys❤️what a marvelous family!!
Wow! What a lovely and memorable clip. Couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. Sooo sweet when Stephen was dancing with the orphanage boy, made him smile with joy. N at the very end the pix of Amanda and Stephen kissing Linky at where he was found at the gate, OMG so touching! You 2 have hearts made of gold. True blessing! 💕🥰
That’s in fact an special place , that’s where Lincoln started his journey to find the most amazing family in the world. Now he’s sooo happy and full of love that we all magically smile when we look at him. Thanks for let us see your Chinadventures! 😊
Please guys don’t skip the ads..This is the least we can do to show our love and support for to the millers!
The interpreter was my teacher, seeing her in your channel makes me recall my memories in Lian yungang🤣
What makes this particular day be filled with mixed emotions is knowing the story of how Lincoln got there. It's great to see where he comes from and knowing the staff took good care of him and truly loved him as they do the other kids but what's even greater is the fact you two rescued him and gave him a forever home and loving family. Stephen, you're great with kids. Taking time with them and showing them they are loved is awesome. You're just an all around good guy and so are you Amanda. I saw how emotional you got while explaining seeing all the kids at the orphanage and describing how great they are although the staff takes time out with them and cares for them but nothing compares to having a home & family. You both are very kind, loving and caring people which is why we all love and support you. Thanks for sharing this special day/video with us. By the way, the kids at the orphanage made me smile. They are very beautiful kids. I hope they are blessed to find a place to call home and good loving forever family.
May God bless you for what you have done 🙏🏾 You’ve changed lives of many ♥️
Wow. Very emotional watching, so I can only imagine what it was like for your family. I love how well they remembered Lincoln, which were classmates from his time there, his primary teacher/caregiver. It's a beautiful place, but as you say, children - ALL CHILDREN - need a caring family to call their own. Lincoln it's such an excessively sweet, funny, positive and loving, and it is obvious he found his true spirit family ♡ Thank you for bringing us along and showing the power of love!!!
Omg! I am literally crying when watching it! The mix of emotions even I can feel it for you guys and Linky! Really glad that sweet Linky has a good family now and he is growing well and happy!
Lincoln has one of the brightest smiles I have ever seen... God bless him and your family
Your family is such a blessing❤️❤️❤️
Still crying right now as I write this! My heart ❤️🥺 thank you as always for sharing such beautiful moments with us all!
I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS FAMILY!! LOVE LOTS AND GODBLESS YOU ALL 😘
waaaah i got a heart! i got a heart from the miller's fam!! THIS MADE MY DAYY!! 😍😍😍
I think he was scared u would leave him there it just breaks my heart how a mother father whatever u are to a kid can leave a baby ik u might be through hard and tough times but pls seek help instead of abandoning your own child , your kids would be the best thing in the whole world it’s a sunshine that brings brightness to your world , god bless u all for taking care of these kids and adopting them!
Your family is so wholesome and the love that surrounds this family is so amazing ❤️
I am so happy to find your channel. You guys are truly amazing. God bless you and your beautiful children.
I always cry watching ur videos. They are full of love and contentment.🇰🇪🇿🇼
Very moving. I hope the person(s) who dropped baby Lincoln at the orphanage felt they might very likely be saving the life of their son with so many health challenges to face. If so he was born to love and then was loved by the orphanage staff, by caring foster parents and now by the best family and friends for which any could hope. What has happened in his life appears to profoundly represent the best of the words that "It takes a village." In a world where huge numbers of unseen, uncounted children are abandoned and exploited, all can learn from the example of the network of Lincoln supporters just what becomes possible with love. Well done, everyone; I feel added hope having another confirmation that those like you truly exist in the world.
You guys are such amazing parents, I love you guys very much, I'm crying, I really want to adopt when I get older, those children deserve a lot of love 💕😢
It was really emotional especially the thought of Lincoln left outside ... But the Lord has His ways and now Lincoln is with a lovely family 💗💗💗💗 Praise The Lord 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💗💗💗🥰🥰🥰
I could see the hurt in both of your eyes when you were talking about the other kids in the orphanage that need a family.
I could feel the emotions just as a viewer....my heart was heavy for Lincoln & wondering what he must be thinking or remembering. Its also hard to see children w/o a home with loving parents. I hope that you will be able to return when Lincoln is much older. ❤🙏🏻
