Can We Adopt Michael?

我们能不能收养Michael

在2013月1月，我们知道Michael他2014年5月1日就想14岁了。Michael是我们在北京说话的一个盲男孩。他是倒挺好玩的，而且也会好多的乐器。他的梦想是一个音乐家。我们挺喜欢跟他说话。那时候我们很想收养他因为他快到年纪了。妈妈没我有那么的信心因为Amy刚来到家，她怕我们的收养的工作人不会同意因为这太早了。而且我们那时候只有三四个月，我们收养机构没那么快。我那时候觉得只要我们闯一闯，我们会成功的。所以妈妈问了收养的工作人。

一天当我们从学校回来的时候，妈妈告诉我们我们不能收养Michael因为 Amy 得先呆在家里长一些。当时我很生气。难道帮Michael找个家不重要吗？Lucy，Amy和我相处的一点儿问题都没有。我觉得他们应该同意我们收养Michael。

我对这件事也有一点点儿伤心。上次我没能帮助苏楠楠，这次我也不能救Michael。这已经两次了，我真的不想有第三次。

我还想了想：我也有一点点错因为我做的还不够多。我祈祷的不够。那时候我也应该聪明一点，我应该问一些中国人收养Michael，因为国内收养比国际收养更要快。我真不知道为什么没有早点想到这个。每次我都是这样，等那个事情发生了以后我才想到办法了。我的脑子有时候倒挺慢的。

但是，这不是最后的结果，因为后来有个奇迹要发生了。

On January 2013, we knew that Michael is going to turn 14 one May 1st, 2014. Michael is a boy we talked to in Beijing. He was pretty funny, and plays many instruments. His dream was become a musician. We liked to talk to him. We wanted to adopt because he was also age out. Mom didn’t have as much confidence as me because Amy just came to our family. She was scared our social worker wouldn’t said yes because it was too early. Also at that time we only have three - four months, our adoption agency isn’t that fast. I thought if we just try it, we would be successful. So mom asked the social worker.

One day when we came home from school, mom told us that we couldn’t adopt Michael because Amy has to be home longer. At that time I was very unhappy. Was helping Michael to find a family not important? Lucy, Amy and I have no problem to get along. I thought they should say yes to us.

I was a little bit sad about that. Last time I couldn’t help Sun Nannan; this time I could rescue Michael either. That was two times already, I really didn’t want to happen the third time.

I also thought it was a little bit of my fault because I didn’t do enough. I didn’t pray enough. At that time I need be a little bit smarter too, I should ask some Chinese people to adopt Michael, because national is faster than international. I really don’t why I didn’t think that earlier. Every time I would do that, I finally got an idea after the event happen. My brain sometimes is a little slow.

However, this wasn’t the end, because later there was a miracle.
