This mother is amazing. She fought for that child for years in a foreign country, just to then face the brutal US immigration process, and made history in Ghana (the first person to bypass the three adoption laws). What astonishing love.
I know know if there's ever been such a loved and wanted child in the whole world! Her mama moved mountains for her, and I know she will until the rest of her days.
My god, the way Ellie smiles when she sees and hears her mom. That woman and mother is a force of Nature and so is her child. Well done, beautiful family!
OMG When she said “I love to go shopping at TARGET!” I said this girl is it! She’s just like every other little girl! Her mother is incredible. Imagine living in Ghana so that you can adopt a little girl you fell in love with ♥️ That is filled with a life changing, pure love, dedication, motherly connection unlike any other adoption story I’ve ever heard ♥️ Truly. This mother deserves so much credit. Imagine spending even one day in a foreign country for another individual. To say this mother is incredible is an understatement, there’s no words to describe this amazing mother ♥️
It's great seeing how chris interacts especially with people with communication and development related disabilities. Lots of people are awkward or don't talk to disabled people and he is very respectful and positive and natural with everyone. Great example of empathy and communication ❤
The love that Ellie is able to express when she looks at her mommy is more overwhelming and pure and beautiful then a thousand words could possibly say! Lucky mom and lucky daughter ❤️
This mom is the perfect example of what a parent should be, not just a special-needs parent but a parent in general! So many people could learn from her!
I've done an essay on Ghana and how they believe the disabled are a bad omen and will blame them for deaths and other things. They call them "spirit children". Ellie is such a sweet girl and you should be so proud of all the selfless things you did to make sure you saved her. You're heart is so pure 💓
She was 23 when she adopted her - meaning she met Ellie at 20! Im 24, and I don't think Im anywhere near ready to have/adopt a child, even more so a child with additional needs!
Although this is an older interview, I’ve never had the pleasure of watching it before now, and I absolutely loved it! Ellie is so sweet, and her mother’s determination is a testament to maternal love. The way they look at one another is so touching. ❤️
This video made me cry! It’s so easy to see how much love and passion this mother has for her daughter, and Ellie is so smart! I bonded with people over animal facts when I was a kid too :’)
Ellie is such a ray of sunshine! As is her Mom, too! The story of the adoption is amazing, wow! This was all meant to be, and I wish Ellie, Mom, and their loved ones and friends very well and all the best! 🤗♥️
Mom is just awesome! When Ellie nods off, is she tired, or part of her health issues? And she lights up and feels safe and happy with mom. I love Ellie’s laugh!! And her smile is wonderful!❤
Ellie reminds me so much of someone special in my life. When you get to know someone who is nonverbal, it is amazing how much they can communicate without words. It's a special treat to enjoy!
Ellie and her mom have a beautiful bond. I’m so glad God put Ellie in her mom’s life and vice versa. They’re both wonderful human beings. God bless them 💗
Hi, Ellie! I think you are great! I love penguins, too. I feel sad for penguins because they always swim in very cold water. Cold water makes me cry. I like warm water. Do you like to swim in warm water or cold water? You are so smart and so is your Mom. Your Mom traveled across the world to find you and keep you safe. You can talk with your device and your Mom always listens. I am happy for you. I hope one day that you will do another interview with Chris. Hugs to you and your Mom. Keep up the Good Work. Your friend, Sherry
All the stories told on the channel are amazing an beautiful.... but this one is special. And how this young lady did all this for her beautiful little girl. For so many years and she should be so bloody proud of her self and her daughter ❤💕💗
Her mother is such a fun amazing person, she fought so hard for Ellie and it all payed off. What Ellie told her joke I started laughing so hard. She is such a fun person.
This is my favorite video out of the series so far! Every time Ellie communicated it made me smile. Sending all of my love to this family!! They are beautiful people!
I would love to shop at Target with you. You are a sweetheart! And God definitely had a hand in connecting you with your adoptive mother. Your smile is delightful. It lights up a room like the sun. Sending you hugs from Illinois. And you mom, Rebecca, sending two hugs. There is a special place in heaven reserved for you because you saw what must have seemed insurmountable and you trusted God for this miracle. She loves you and you definitely help her know that she isn’t a mistake and that you love her also. Hope God sends blessings your way.
I was scrolling through this channel and when I saw Ellie’s face I realized that she’s the same person I follow on Instagram. Edit: Ellie passed away 6 days ago. She seemed like an amazing girl with a huge personality. She fought to stay in this world so hard. Rest easy now Ellie you will be missed by many and will never be forgotten. 🕊
Im in a group for people with labradors and someone shared an ad with a girl talking to a black lab..with her speech device and I thought that I had seen the girl before... I must have been this Ellie
LOVE + Support from this Awesome Mama and The Good Lord's Grace + Mercy. Along with Ellie's Personal Strength + Will. God strategically places people in our Lives for various reasons & situations. That's why Ellie is still here.🙏❤️✌️✌️Godspeed to Ellie & her mom. (And, Ellie girl, I adore TARGET too!🙂✌️👍)
This little girl outlived the doctors and everyone's expectations of living to be her age now, is because God needed her on this Earth for a purpose. Thank you God!!! Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you Holy Spirit!!! In Jesus' mighty name!!!
In Prayers 🙏 Bless this child Super Strong And Very talented and Blessed And Bless you all ❤️❤️❤️ Wish you Well in health and Prosperity ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ellie I pray God grants you a miracle of healing, I know you're already a miracle but but God do even bigger things in your life. I love you pretty big bow.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE IS A FOUNDATION THAT RAISES MONEY TO PROVIDE THE TECHNOLOGY ELLIE USES? So much joy!! It’s incredible that technology allows her to communicate and express herself. It also makes me sad to think of all the people who do not have access to the technology. I wonder how many brilliant, lovable individuals are locked inside themselves.
