One day in 2014, a little girl was born and was rejected by her parents. At this time, she may not have imagined that in just a few days, she would be thrown to the door of the orphanage by her biological parents.
It turned out that after the little girl was born, her parents found that her entire eyeballs were blue, pale, hollow and unfocused.
After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor diagnosed it as congenital glaucoma, which means that she could not see a single ray of light in her life.

In addition, she is accompanied by congenital hearing loss, and no sound in the world exists for her, only silence will accompany her for life.
Some people say that children are angels who land on earth, and children are the keys to heaven.
But for this little girl, all the good words have nothing to do with her.
She was more like being kicked by God and thrown into the mutilations of the mortal world.
Maybe it's the parents' family financial difficulties and simply can't afford the treatment of the little girl, or maybe the parents have been cornered and feel that there is no hope of investing more money.
In the end, her parents decided to abandon her and leave her at the door of the orphanage in the dark of night.
At this time, the little girl was only a few days old, and she hadn't even learned to grasp the bottle, and she didn't know what awaited her next.
After the little girl was sent to the orphanage, someone wrote an article about her deeds and posted it on the media platform, hoping that well-wishers would be able to lend a helping hand after seeing it.
Whether it is to treat her or adopt her, at least it will allow her to have a relatively sound growth process.

While the little girl was lying alone in the orphanage, across the ocean in Georgia, USA, a couple was playing in the park with their two children.
The couple, Chris and Eryn, live in Georgia, USA.
The couple raised two children, a family of four, and enjoyed the joy.
In order to make the children grow up healthier and happier, they often take the children to the park on weekends and occasionally travel abroad.
They soaked up the sun, listened to the birdsong, and laughed and played on the lawn.

Maybe life is so unfair, what others can get effortlessly and easily, for this "blue-eyed" little girl, it is something she can't get for the rest of her life.
But suddenly, the balance of fate seemed to tilt in her.
One day in 2015, Erin was resting at home as usual, stopping by the Internet and browsing Facebook.
Just as she slid down the page, an updated post by an "adoption advocacy group" caught her attention.

She clicked in and saw that the little girl in the picture in the post had two blue eyes.
Turning further down, she learned that the little girl had almost zero eyesight and even had hearing problems.
It was because of these physical defects that she was abandoned by her parents at the entrance of the orphanage a few days after she was born, and no one has adopted her so far.
People who are mothers, the most unseemly thing is the picture of this kind of child being abandoned, not to mention that this is still a physically handicapped, completely incapable of taking care of themselves, and parents need to pay ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times the effort to take care of the child.
Every word in the post deeply touched Irene's heart.
Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in Irene's mind.
She wanted to adopt the child, to give everything a mother could give her.
As for why she wanted to do it that way, Irene later recalled that when she first saw the picture of the child, she thought she could see through the little girl's eyes.
From her eyes, she read all the misfortunes of the little girl.
She felt as if God was telling him that this was their daughter.
At that moment, she felt desperately that she should take her home.
But adopting a child was not her own affair after all, and Irene had to worry about the whole family's thoughts.
When her husband came home, Irene immediately told him about the idea. Unexpectedly, the husband even readily agreed.
They all agreed that the child needed a complete love, that her birth had been unfortunate, and that she could not suffer too many waves on the way to growth.
Some people say that the thought of parenting without exams is a terrible thing.
The contrast between the little girl's biological parents and the Erins is the sharpest.
After the couple agreed, the plan to adopt the little girl was put on the agenda.
But this little girl is not the same as a healthy child after all, for the sake of insurance, they first went to consult a doctor, but without exception, almost every doctor told them not to easily adopt such a special child.
First of all, the child has congenital glaucoma, and because it has not been treated in time, the vision has been completely blind, and even if there is medical intervention, it is impossible to recover.

Furthermore, the child is accompanied by deafness.
You can imagine how much energy it takes to raise a blind and deaf child.
Second, the family did not support their adoption of the child.
They understand Irene's pity when she first sees this child, but to raise this child as an adult, it takes not only a momentary enthusiasm, but also patience, love, and tolerance.
Moreover, they actually already have a son and daughter, and their family conditions in the United States are not very rich, and adopting this child is tantamount to adding some burden to the family.
These questions raised by doctors and family members were not something the Irenes had not failed to consider.
But it all fell through Irene's thoughts that "she's already unlucky, and I can't make her more unfortunate for the rest of her life."

After much thought, the couple decided to adopt the little girl.
Adoption requires all sorts of materials, as well as a series of procedures that the Irenes had thought of before, but hadn't expected to be so cumbersome.
Just as they were preparing the materials for submission, the family's "big wave of consideration" came again.
At this time, the Irene couple had long since lost the hesitation of the time, and they decisively submitted an application for adoption. What follows is a long waiting time.
Waiting is often the most torturous, like the darkness before dawn, where hope and despair are intertwined.
Finally, in January 2016, they got the news of the little girl who had been approved for adoption.

After learning the news, the couple did not start packing their bags at the first time, but told the other two members of the family.
"Mom and Dad are going to China now, and they will bring you back a little sister, and you will become very good brothers and sisters." However, this sister's eyes may be a little different from yours, so you must protect her in life. ”
The children gladly agreed.
It is said that parents are the best teachers for children, and the two children are so sensible and loving, which has a lot to do with the education of Mr. and Mrs. Chris.
Afterwards, a reporter interviewed their neighbors, and everyone said that Chris and Erin are usually very keen on public welfare.
Children learn tolerance and fraternity at a young age.

After the two members agreed, Erin and Chris began packing their bags non-stop.
The next thing to do is to step on Chinese soil and pick up the little girl and take her home.
After the plane landed, they were led to the orphanage by the staff.
I thought everything would go well, and after signing, the little girl would be able to follow them back to the United States to enjoy family happiness.
Unexpectedly, after Chris and Erin arrived at the orphanage, they were told that the little girl had a high fever and the situation was not optimistic.
Erin expected the child's health to be bad, but did not expect it to be so bad.
Without much thought, the couple immediately took the girl to the hospital for treatment, and under their careful care, the little girl's condition gradually improved.
After all the formalities were completed, they did not return to the United States immediately.
Considering that the child had just had a serious illness and was very weak, the Erins could not withstand a long journey.
Sooner or later, the family can go back, and the top priority now is to let her raise her body first, and then return to the United States after the situation is stable.
Fortunately, everything went well, and the little one quickly recovered, so they embarked on the journey back to the United States.
The Erins gave their child a name, Primrose, which means "primrose" in English.
After the harsh winter cold, the little primrose brings the hope and happiness of spring to the world, and the name of the little girl with this name is not only in line with her experience, but also full of warmth and romance.
After returning to the United States, Erin and Chris took Primrose to a hospital in the United States for a comprehensive physical examination.
The doctor told them that the retina of one eye of the child had fallen off, and the other eye was in a bad condition, and the eyeball had shrunk to half the size of a normal person.
In addition, the doctor also diagnosed the child with "6P25 deficiency syndrome", which also shows that her muscles lack tension, let alone walking in the future, and may even be difficult to do basic food and clothing alone.
This is true – Primrose, who had just returned home, had to lie down and be fed, and his weak body could not even support his head.
The only good news is that Primrose hasn't completely lost her hearing, and she can still hear some of her voices.
Therefore, the Irene couple patiently talked to her and made primrose aware of her surroundings by letting Primrose touch the physical object.
In addition to the physical discomfort, Irene's family also has to face Primrose's psychological discomfort.
Primrose, who had just arrived in the United States, was resistant to everything around her, and crying was the only way she could express her emotions.
Cry in the morning, cry at night, cry without a word.
Even so, neither Erin nor Chris had ever been fierce to her once, but had patiently soothed her, singing to her, hugging her, and being with her in a way that would allow her to slowly adjust to the environment.
Her older siblings also joined the camp of appeasing Primrose, and they often played with her and coaxed her, which gave Primrose enough security.
Over time, Irene and Chris's family eventually melt primrose's heart with love.
She gradually opened her heart, unloaded her defenses, and slowly adapted to the new family, while also learning many new skills.
Just when everyone thought everything was going in a good direction, Primrose's health sounded the alarm again.
Primrose, who is more than two years old, often cries incessantly, and cries for a long time.
Erin recalls:
"She often hurts to the point that her whole body is soaked in sweat, and the slightest touch of her makes her yell. She even started not eating or drinking, and to ensure her health, we had to feed her water with a syringe. ”
Realizing that something was wrong with the child, Erin and Chris took their daughter to the hospital, and finally after consultation with a specialist, it was found that Primrose's right eye was not optimistic.
Because her right eye was pressed against the cranial nerve, which caused her intracranial pressure to be high, surgery was needed to remove the eyeball immediately to control the progression of the disease, otherwise the situation would get worse and worse.
At the same time, doctors have repeatedly stressed that this operation will have certain risks.
Because the eyeball is too close to the cranial nerve, the sudden situation encountered during the surgery to remove the eyeball is likely to affect her later intellectual development.
But if she didn't have this surgery, she might not even be able to do it with a normal child in the future.
Erin decided to fight, even if it was only a one in a thousand chance, she would try it.
After consulting with Chris, they decided to remove Primrose's right eye as recommended by the doctor and then install an artificial eye on her.
Fortunately, the surgery went well.
After the operation, Irene was at home full-time to take care of Primrose, and the hardships were known only to Irene herself.
But no matter how bitter or difficult it was, Irene never complained.
When they take Primrose out for a walk, there will be neighbors who ask incomprehensibly,
"Why would you adopt a blind little girl?" Obviously there are so many healthy children. ”
Their answer is always,
"Why not?"
In their view, since they chose this child, they must be responsible for her to the end.
Moreover, there is no one in this world who stipulates that only healthy children can be loved, and unhealthy children should be left out in the cold.
On the contrary, unhealthy children deserve a thousand times more love. Only in this way can they have enough courage to resist the criticism of the outside world.
The Irenes did what they said, and under their meticulous care, Primrose recovered better and better.
We often say that "Saion lost his horse and knows that it is not a blessing", which is exactly what happened to Primrose.
Although the prosthetic eye does not have the physiological function of a normal eye, it is the same in appearance as a normal eye.
Without eye pressure, Primrose's personality becomes more and more lively, she will take the initiative to play with her brothers and sisters, and share good things with them.
For Primrose's positive feedback, her brothers and sisters also gave her the same response.
When Irene took them out, once Primrose was ridiculed by others, the two brothers and sisters would take the lead in protecting their sister.
The mutual help and love of the three children, the Irene couple saw in the eyes, sweet in the heart.
Erin often said,
"The word parent is not only written in the DNA, but should be integrated into the heart!"
Of course, the word "family" should not only be written in the blood, but also integrated into the heart.
The picture of a family of five enjoying themselves is exactly what the Erins have been waiting for for a long time, although they have walked a long way to reach this road, and the hardships on the road are only known to them.
Primrose was unlucky, she was destined to take a more difficult path in this life than anyone else, but Primrose was lucky that she met the Erins.
Erin and Chris's determined choice made her feel the warmth of family again, making her realize that she was no different from other children.
Since then, she has also had the full love of her parents, and she can also walk on the road that belongs to her unscrupulously.
In the blink of an eye, Primrose was 8 years old, and the orphanage heard about Primrose's situation and went to the United States to visit her.
When they saw Primrose again, the little girl had long since ceased to be rejected and withdrawn, and had been replaced by a confident, radiant little girl, like a little angel.
Because of the contrast, the orphanage staff almost did not recognize it.
In Primrose, people see the power of love.
It turns out that love can really create miracles, it can really change everything.
True love is invincible.
The author believes that surrounded by the love of Irene's family, Primrose will become more and more confident and strong, and her future will have unlimited possibilities.
I wish Chris and Irene a happy life! I wish the children a healthy growth!
