Chapter 2 Adoption

"No, it looks more like Chinese. Kevin next door has been to China as a supervisor for a few years. He can speak Chinese. Wait a minute. I'll find him. Maybe he can be a translator."

John said, then got up and went out, looking for neighbors to help, while Lina brought out all kinds of food for Liu Nan again, looking at Liu Nan with maternal eyes, which made Liu Nan feel weird.

Within a few minutes, John came back, leading a middle-aged white man wearing a T-shirt. He was a little fatter than John, but in the United States, where the obesity rate is extremely high, he should still be in good shape.

"Kevin, this is that kid. I heard his words sound like Chinese, so please come and help me."

John pointed to Liu Nan, and Kevin also saw this dusty and dirty Asian kid.

"No problem, let me try, hi, kid, my name is Kevin, what's your name."

Kevin also squatted in front of Liu Nan and said, but this time Liu Nan understood. Although it was a bit non-standard, it was still Mandarin, with only a few pronunciations not standard.

"My name is Liu Nan."

"Oh, so it's Liu Nan kid, how old are you then?"

"I do not know."

"Where are your parents?"

"I do not know."

"Then how did you come to America?"

"I do not know."

Except for his own name, Liu Nan always answered that he didn't know about Kevin's other questions. Years old, who knows how I got to America, no, I know how I got to America, did I tell Kevin in front of me that I came to America after I made a wish?
"How about it, Kevin, did you ask clearly?"

Seeing Kevin standing up, Lina asked quickly.

"Unfortunately, now I can only know that this child is from China, and his name is Liu Nan. I don't know anything else. Who knows that he is too young, knows nothing, and can't speak English. It is really difficult to communicate. ”

Kevin shrugged, spread his hands and said, he is also very helpless, he can speak Chinese, but he can't read minds or divination skills, children don't know what to do, he can help That's all.

"John, I have an idea. I want to adopt this child. We have always wanted a child. This is the child God sent us. What do you think?"

Lina looked at her husband and said, from the first time she saw Liu Nan, this idea has been flickering in her heart. As a Christian, she firmly believes that this must be the blessing of God, and she sent this child to her side .

"Lina, we still don't know about this child's situation. Besides, we can also hand him over to the police. The police will definitely find him a suitable place for him. Also, if we adopt him, in case his parents find him what to do?"

As a man, he is relatively rational. He knows that adoption is not a trivial matter and cannot be decided on the head. The safest way is to hand Liu Nan over to the police. This will help Liu Nan find his parents, even if they cannot be found. , the police will also send Liu Nan to a foster home or other welfare institution.

"Never, I will never hand him over to the police. As a lawyer, you have seen a lot of darkness in society. Don't you know what those host families are like? For government subsidies, children Raising him like a commodity, without caring at all, even if his parents find him, I will never hand over the child to such irresponsible parents."

Lina was very excited. She was very eager to have a child without a child. Now that God's blessing has arrived, she will never let it go.

"Calm down, calm down, Lina, I didn't say no, I just said think about it. Since you insist so much, I also agree. We will adopt this child. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be without a child. I know you I often go to a nearby kindergarten to see the children there. Originally, I wanted to take you with me to adopt a child at Christmas, but it seems that it is no longer necessary. God has sent the child to us, although we cannot communicate for the time being."

John quickly hugged Lina, who was a little excited, and said softly. He knew that the reason for the lack of children in this family was all due to him. If he hadn't been unable to have children, Lina would not have wanted to adopt Liu Nan so much.

"No, John, it's not your fault. I love you so I don't care about it. Besides, God helped us by sending Xiao Liunan to us. It's not a problem that we can't communicate. We can teach him English , we can also learn Chinese by ourselves, so that our family will be more harmonious."

Lina also calmed down. Her husband was able to support her, which made Lina feel very happy. For the sake of the child, it is so rare to learn another foreign language.

"Wow, congratulations, John, Lina, I didn't expect you to make such a decision. I believe your decision is wise, but do you want to ask your child's opinion? I can translate it."

Kevin hasn't left yet. He was a little surprised to hear Lina's decision, but he also sincerely wished John and his wife. He knew that John and his wife had never had children and wanted a child very much. Now they have got their wish, as neighbors and as friends , Kevin must be happy for John and his wife.

"Of course, I'm sorry to trouble you Kevin, ask the child if he would like to call us mom and dad."

John said.

"OK, let's see mine. Hey, little friend Liu Nan, what do you think of these two uncles and aunts? Do they treat you well?"

Kevin talked to Liu Nan again.

"it is good."

Because Liu Nan couldn't understand, he didn't know what the Johns and his wife were doing just now. He just felt that Wai Guoren was so open-minded, and they hugged each other, completely ignoring the existence of outsiders.

"Then would you like to call them Mom and Dad?"

"..."

Liu Nan was stunned. Could it be that John and his wife wanted to adopt him?

"How about it, little Liu Nan, are you willing? These two uncles and aunts are good people. They will definitely treat you well and buy you a lot of delicious and fun things."

Kevin thought Liu Nan didn't understand why he called John and his wife mom and dad, so he tried to seduce Liu Nan from another aspect. Children just like to eat and play.

John and Lina also looked at Liu Nan nervously. Seeing Liu Nan in a daze, they raised their hearts to their throats. They will not force their children. If Liu Nan is not willing, they will do their best Help Liu Nan find his parents or find a better host family.

"Ah."

Liu Nan nodded, he would be an idiot if he disagreed, not only because of the mission, but if he disagreed, he would not know if he would be able to survive in the United States, and there were too many accidents involved.

Without Kevin's translation, Lina cheered when she saw Liu Nan nodding, and then ignored Liu Nan's dust and dust, and saved Liu Nan. She wanted a child for too long.

Now that Liu Nan's consent has been obtained, there is nothing that Kevin needs to translate next. Besides, we can't trouble others too much. The couple can handle the rest.

John went to see Kevin off, and Lina took Liu Nan into the bathroom to wash the dirty Liu Nan well. After walking in the wasteland full of loess for so long, Liu Nan's skin could no longer see its original color Yes, it must be washed well.

Liu Nan's childish body is the soul of Ben San. He was stripped of his clothes by a strange woman and thrown into the bathtub to scrub. He felt shy instinctively. Fortunately, his body is too small to react, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Lina didn't think much about Liu Nan's shyness. She just thought it was Liu Nan's instinctive reaction to strangers. After washing off the dust on Liu Nan's body, a fair little boy appeared in front of Lina. Although he was not It's pure white like Caucasian people, but Liu Nan's skin color has a pink and fair complexion, which makes people like her.

After cleaning Liu Nan, Lina found John's clothes for Liu Nan. Although they were a bit big, they were clean and high-end, so they were very comfortable to wear. As for Liu Nan's dirty clothes, they were thrown away by Lina. into the trash can outside the house.

When Lina brought Liu Nan to John again, John felt that his wife's decision might be right. Liu Nan was an angel sent by God, such a lovely child. Fortunately, he didn't send him to the police. It was because of Lina that he was ready to accept Liu Nan, and now John also fell in love with Liu Nan sincerely, and made up his mind to treat Liu Nan as his own son.

The home of John and his wife is a villa, so there will naturally be no shortage of rooms. Seeing Liu Nan's face full of exhaustion, Lina sent Liu Nan to the bedroom next to her master bedroom, and just put Liu Nan on the soft bed, Liu Nan closed her eyes. Soon I fell into a dream.

"John, today is such a magical day. Thinking about it now, I feel like I'm dreaming."

When John and his wife were lying on the bed, Lina said.

"Yes, I didn't expect God to send an angel to our side. Did our piety get a response?"

John put his arms around Lina's shoulders and said, who would have thought that when he came back from vacation, he would be able to pick up a child, and even more incredible, he would adopt this child.

"It must be, by the way, John, tomorrow I will take Liu Nan to the police station to register. Don't forget to say hello to Qiao, so that the procedure can be completed faster, and then I will take Liu Nan to buy a few more We need to buy clothes and some books on language learning. Starting tomorrow, we will start learning Chinese. I heard that Chinese is the most magical language in the world. I don’t know if we can learn it.”

"Honey, we can definitely learn Chinese. We all love children, don't you underestimate the power of fatherly love and motherly love. In addition, I will say hello to Joe. He is my college classmate. The relationship between the two of us is quite good. .”

Don't think that the United States doesn't pay attention to human relations. Otherwise, the purpose of so many fraternities in American universities is to support each other after entering the society. This is the same as the Donglin Party in ancient China.

"That's right, we will definitely learn. I can't wait. I hope tomorrow will come sooner."

"It's so easy, dear, you close your eyes quietly, and when you open them again, it will be a brand new day."

"You're right honey, good night, I'm going to face a new day."
