Welcome to our blog!
This is a place where we will keep everyone posted as we travel this adoption journey to bring home our daughter, LongLong.
So, let me introduce you to LongLong!
LongLong is 3 years old. In the video we have seen of her, she seems pretty mellow and calm...but we know that under that peaceful exterior is a fighter! LongLong has undergone SIX rounds of chemotherapy. She also has had both eyeballs removed due to cancer. (So, yes, that means she is blind.)
But her blindness, her cancer, those are not all she is. We know LongLong is so much more than the two words "blind" and "cancer". Unfortunately, not much more information is available about her. BUT...we HAVE seen several pictures and have watched a video of her, and I can tell you, that girl is BRAVE. In the video, she is playing, going down the slide at the playground, climbing the stairs. She cannot see, but that doesn't keep her from enjoying life and bravely trying new things. It was apparent she had never played on that play set before, and yet she was willing to try everything. When I think of the struggles she has faced at such a young age, and without the support of family, I know she must have a lot of courage to keep fighting, to pull herself through it, and to come out smiling. LongLong is a strong, brave, incredible little girl. We are so blessed that we get to be her parents!
Well, that is all for now! Thanks for checking out our blog!
Love and best wishes,
