US Woman Who Adopted Child With Down Syndrome From India Celebrate Their Journey

Many people appreciated Megan and her family for lovingly accepting Ami while many others criticized them for not adopting American kids and traveling to a foreign country for the same.

It is often said that family is more than blood relations, a woman named Megan and her family in the USA have proved this right as they have adopted and accepted a young girl from India as part of their family. Recently Megan shared a heartwarming video on Instagram that documented their one year with Ami, her adopted daughter from India who has Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes intellectual and developmental delays. In her now-viral Instagram post, Megan captured how they took their first flight from India to the USA and how her family, including her two sons, gathered at the airport to welcome them. The clip then moved on to show the wholesome moments of learning, traveling, and playing they all shared with Ami.

While explaining their one year anniversary since Ami’s adoption, Megan wrote, “One year ago we met our daughter for the first time. Family of five, greeted at the airport, playing. In October 2022 we became parents to the spunkiest, silliest, most beautiful “baby" girl born in India. She is smart, has the biggest heart, and rocks an extra chromosome. She was a missing piece to our family puzzle and we are so grateful to have spent one full year together. I wasn’t sure what kind of video I wanted to put together so here is some never before seen footage of our arrival in the United States and a montage of what life has been with our sweet Ami girl.️ We could have missed this."

This clip has over 1.8 lakh likes so far. Appreciating Megan’s tender mothering skills, an Instagram user wrote, “You’ve given life to a child which is only a dream for many. God bless you. You have the kindest heart". Another person wrote, “My sister and brother are both adopted and older (I randomly appeared haha). My sister is Sri Lankan and I love stories like this, this one was a little closer than normal, congratulations mum and dad, and gorgeous baby girl too."

While many people appreciated Megan and her family for lovingly accepting Ami, many others criticised them for going all the way to India for adopting kids in need when there are many kids in America as well.
