The Chinese are raised to hold their emotions in check, but Alison’s heart is too full of love and she could not do it. She shared her hope that all the children would be raised in the knowledge of God, which would probably never have happened had they been left in China.
And now ... what you really want to see!
Bless her heart, she was so scared but brave too.
We finally coaxed some smiles out of her. Well, really - playing w/ the remote coaxed some smiles. But this stressed out mama will take whatever she can get :-)
