Adopting a child can't be hidden from the media, so Don didn't do it secretly. The Chinese media all know that Tang En is coming to China to adopt a child, but this kind of celebrity can only be published in tabloids, and the big media is not published - when did you see Xinhua News Agency and CCTV reporting on a celebrity coming to China to adopt a child? Didn't you? In fact, there are many foreigners who come to China to adopt children, and there are many foreign celebrities, but the general media does not report much.

Foreigners who adopt a child in China need to pay a large sum of money, even if the formalities are complete. China has a very high threshold for foreigners to adopt Chinese children, and even celebrities like Don have to follow the formalities. The money to be paid must be paid, and the procedures for presenting it must be presented. But for Donne, any problem that money can solve is not a problem, he is not short of money at all, and the procedures are complete, and he is determined to come to China this time.

From the beginning, Tang En delineated the scope of adoption in Sichuan. Without him, he himself is a native of Sichuan, and he has feelings for this land and the children of this land.

After going around the welfare homes in various parts of Sichuan, a few children with better conditions were selected, and after discussing with Shania, a four-year-old girl was finally selected. In China, the idea of preference for sons over daughters is still very popular in backward and remote places, and many people work hard to give birth to boys, but they can't support them after birth, so girls are either given away or abandoned. Don didn't have any patriarchal ideas, and Shania didn't. For them, boys are as good as boys, and girls are as cute as girls, but there are many girls in the welfare home, so they naturally choose girls to adopt.

The little girl, who was almost five years old, was not as noisy as the other children when she saw Don and Shania, but very quiet, wearing a red floral dress, sitting in a chair, looking at the two strangers opposite her with big eyes, a little frightened, like an innocent little animal, endearing.

Shania fell in love with her at first sight, and her quiet appearance was also very pleasing to Donn. Because of his work, Don likes to be quiet in his life, so he doesn't like children who are too noisy, but quiet is exactly what he likes. According to the archives of the welfare home, the little girl was from Zigong, Sichuan, and was abandoned at the door of the welfare home shortly after birth, and the ruthless parents did not even name the little baby, except for leaving her at the door of the welfare home, leaving no information. Therefore, the welfare institute named her Liu Ai, taking the homonym of "leaving love", hoping to keep love for her, and her birth was the day when the welfare institute found her - October 3.

Now that the target has been chosen, let's start the adoption procedures, and once the procedures are completed, Liu Ai will have nothing to do with the welfare home, and will officially become the first child of Tang En and Shania, although it is an adopted daughter.

In the process of going through the formalities, Tang En realized how lucky he was - according to Chinese law, foreigners who want to adopt Chinese children must be older than 30 years old and not less than 50 years old. And Don is still more than two months away from turning fifty, which is just within the scope of the law, and if he comes two months late, he will not be able to fulfill this wish.

Tang En is a celebrity, even in the small city of Zigong in southern Sichuan, he is quite well-known, not to mention that the people who accompany him are more well-known than his popularity among the Chinese people, the world supermodel, Hollywood movie star Shania has long landed in the Chinese market, and the advertising graphic posters and TV commercials of the products she endorses have been known to Chinese for several years.

Celebrities have the advantage that their status is valued by everyone, and the efficiency of the welfare homes and civil affairs departments is also satisfactory.

It only took one day for Liu Ai to become Don and Shania's child. However, since it is a foreigner's child, then there must be a foreign name, Tang En has retained Liu Ai's Chinese name, he has an inexplicable fate with China, this child is part of it, how can there be no Chinese name? Shania was responsible for choosing a foreign name for Liu Ai, and she chose the word "teresa", which means harvester in Greek and the goddess of harvest in Portuguese. The name is often used to describe a beautiful, brunette-haired woman, quiet, direct, and extremely devout in her faith. Let's not talk about beliefs or anything, but in other aspects, it is a good match for Liu Ai's image and surname.

After completing the formalities, the aunt at the orphanage packed up Liu Ai's, now Teresa's, and handed them over to the Donnes. In fact, it was nothing, just toys and books donated by all walks of life to the welfare institute, and there were a few clothes, but Tang En didn't want them, leaving only toys and books. Naturally, you have to buy new clothes, so how can you still wear those old clothes? His daughter should be dressed up like a princess.

During the whole process, Xiao Liu Ai rarely spoke, just holding her own bear rag doll and following aside. This made Don more and more happy to watch, he liked this kind of quiet and sensible child.

Finally, standing at the door of the welfare home, a group of friends from the welfare home came out to see off Liu Ai, was adopted by foreign parents, and then went to a distant foreign country, maybe never to see each other again, a group of children were crying and laughing together, reluctant. Tang En was talking to the director of the welfare home on the other side, nothing more than thanking Tang and his wife for being so kind to adopt Xiao Liu Ai, and hoped that they could treat Liu Ai well.

"Mr. Donne, Ms. Shania. Ai Ai usually doesn't like to talk much, and she always likes to keep many things in her heart instead of telling us. I know you're all celebrities and busy with work, but you must be careful not to snub her. Aunt Du, who usually takes care of Liu Ai, didn't seem to be at ease, so she specially ordered. She knows Liu Ai very well, for fear that her surname will go to a strange country, and she will not be used to living a life without a language barrier, and she will be unhappy. There was another worry, she didn't say it: Don and Shania are foreigners after all, and they are also celebrities, and the marriages of celebrities don't seem to end well, in case they divorce in the future, what about this love? In addition, who knows if Don and Shania in life are really loving and can truly love this adopted daughter?

Tang En didn't know that the other party was doubting himself in his heart, he was still happy to have a daughter, and he naturally responded to the other party's advice. "That's no problem, I'm retired now. You can take your daughter at home with peace of mind, ha! ”

Since Shania doesn't speak Chinese yet, Tang En is responsible for foreign exchanges. Shania just stayed by his side, looking at Teresa who was saying goodbye to her friends not far away, her eyes were full of love. She has always wanted to have a child, but she and her husband have worked hard for nine years and have not yet become pregnant. I can only retreat and adopt one. Now that she has a daughter, her maternal love that has been suppressed for many years is germinating, and in the future, I am afraid that her Uncle Tony will be left out in the cold.

The child's side was finally urged by the other aunts to say goodbye, and Teresa, that is, Liu Ai, was brought to Don and Shania.

Shania saw tears on her daughter's face, apparently she had just cried. She quickly took out a handkerchief and squatted down to gently wipe away Teresa's tears, with a trace of sorrow in her eyes, and smiled a little reluctantly. It seems that this short contact has given birth to a spirit rhino for her and her daughter, and she can't be happy when she sees her daughter unhappy.

And Don noticed another point - her daughter was very sad when she said goodbye, but after seeing them, she was able to stabilize her emotions, and she was obviously a sensible girl. He liked it more and more.

The director of the welfare home is a woman in her fifties who has worked here for more than 20 years, and she is also a little reluctant to see another child sent away. She also squatted down, rubbed Liu Ai's head, and said softly: "Aiai, you will have a father and mother from today onwards, are you happy?" ”

Xiao Aiai lowered her head, glanced at Tang En with her eyes, lowered her eyes again, and nodded.

"Grandma wants you to be healthy and happy in England."

The dean stood up, patted Liu Ai on the shoulder, and motioned for her to walk over by herself.

The little girl slowly took two steps forward, walked up to Don and Shania, and then whispered a little shyly, "Daddy, Mommy." ”

Although it is in Chinese, it is also a Sichuan dialect. But the pronunciation of "mother" is similar all over the world, and Shania heard it clearly, and she squatted down happily, hugged her daughter, and kissed her little face.

And Don's feelings are not as exposed as his wife's, but he smiles brightly. He has been married to Shania for nine years, and finally has a child, even if it is adopted, he is very content, after all, he has always thought that he is infertile. This summer, he led the team to the World Cup, the highest honour in world football, and had his first child after retiring. This year is the happiest year of his life.

In this way, Liu Ai - now called Teresa - followed her new parents in the car under the reluctant gaze of her friends to leave the welfare home where they had lived for four years and start a new life.

Don, who had gained his first daughter, was in a good mood, and anyway, he finally became a father. Don has no experience as a father, he just knows how to make his children happy. So the next day, I took Teresa back to Chengdu to play, took her to see the cute and cute giant pandas, and bought her a lot of panda dolls. After playing around in Chengdu, I went to Jiuzhaigou for a trip, so that this little girl who had never been out of the welfare home could see the beauty of the world to the fullest.

During the trip, after a few days of contact, Don also discovered the problem that the aunt of the welfare home said: Teresa was too quiet and didn't know how to laugh happily. It's not a good habit, and it's terrible for a child to not be able to laugh. Don decides to correct her overly introverted surname, since she is a child, she must be lively when she should be lively.

So when she came back from Jiuzhaigou, Tang En and Shania took her to Hong Kong's Disneyland, Ocean Park and other amusement parks to play, giving her a new experience and happy feelings.

After playing in Hong Kong, she went to Yanjing, and Tang En specially took her to [***] to watch the flag-raising ceremony. This was not Don's arrangement, it was Teresa's own request. Because she used to watch the flag-raising ceremony on TV, she really wanted to go to the scene to see what it was like. How can the daughter's request not be met? Tang En took her to [***] Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and also took her to climb the Great Wall, visit the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven and other places of interest in Yanjing, take her to the zoo to see lions, tigers, monkeys and elephants, take her to the playground to do a roller coaster Ferris wheel, on the roller coaster finally let this girl who is always quiet scream loudly, which is considered to release a handful of emotions, although a little scared after coming down, Tang En saw the excitement from her little face. Teresa is also the only child in the welfare home who has come to Yanjing to play, and it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish on behalf of her friends in the welfare home, and she will wash out the photos of this experience and send them back for her friends to share with her.

※※※ After having a fun time in China, it also strengthened the relationship between the Donnes and their new daughter, at least Teresa is no longer low and shy when calling her parents, and can get along with her new parents generously.

After their trip to China, Don and Shania flew directly from China to Brazil with their daughter to have her parents visit their granddaughter. Shania's parents also like their well-behaved and sensible granddaughter, even if she is not their daughter's own, but as long as their daughter likes it, then they like it. And they don't have patriarchal thinking, on the contrary, they are a bit "patriarchal" and prefer girls.

"But I won't allow Teresa to go my way!" Shania took precautions and made a vow to her parents. She doesn't ask how much money her daughter can make in the future, how famous she is, that kind of thing is too far away. All she had was for Teresa to have a healthy and happy childhood.

"She's your daughter, Little Joe. It's up to you. ”

The parents were not angry. For a long time, there is no one who knows his children better than his parents. They both knew that their daughter wanted a child, but there was nothing Tang could do about it. Now that I finally have a daughter through adoption, seeing her so happy, parents are content, how can I think about the granddaughter's training plan...... Teresa also performed very well, pleasing her grandparents very much, and bought her a lot of things to bring back to England.

After a week in Brazil, Don and Shania returned to England with Teresa. At London's Heathrow Airport, the Donnes family was surrounded by reporters who had heard the news, and the scene was immediately chaotic, calling the airport security guard like a big enemy. Amid the sparkling lights and the noise, Teresa was a little frightened and hid behind Donn.

This scene also made Don frown, and it seemed that these wolf-like media had scared Teresa.

He himself can not care about being disturbed by the media, but his daughter must not be disturbed by the media. The child could not yet understand why so many people came to see her, which caused her a lot of trouble.

So he simply pointed to the girl hiding behind him and said to the reporters: "My daughter, Teresa." Now you've scared him, so I've decided to decline your interview and ask me any questions when I'm alone. I hope that in the future, you will not disturb my daughter. After saying this, he grabbed his wife and daughter and quickly disappeared at the end of the exit passage of the airport.

Only then did the reporters react that Don En actually had a daughter! And it is clear that he loves his daughter very much, and it seems that he will have to pay special attention to this when dealing with him in the future......
