A little girl from China adopted by a family in the United States was happily reunited with her best friend she left behind in an Asian orphanage, thanks to the efforts of their respective adoptive parents.
According to a report from Fox 8, American couple Andy and Sharon Sykes from North Texas decided to take care of four-year-old Hannah, who grew up in an orphanage in China.
While going over Hannah's adoption materials, they noticed a photo taken during her early years where she is seen joyfully playing with and holding the hand of a little boy.
Seeing the joy in the little girl's eyes in the photo, the Sykes couple was determined to find Hannah's best friend from the orphanage. Later on, Sharon was able to learn that Hannah and the little boy even shared a weekend foster mother and even called each other brother and sister.
Because of these discoveries, Sharon made a post on her Facebook account seeking help in finding the little boy. What happened next were nothing short of miraculous: A couple living in the same area, the Clarys, decided to adopt the little boy Hannah left behind in the orphanage in China.
Just recently, the little boy, who was given the American name Dawson, flew to the United States to meet his foster family, and to finally reunite with his best friend. Sharon was able to capture on video the joyful moment when Dawson and Hannah were able to see each other again.
"They just shared a sweet and special bond. They were so close and we can't just imagine leaving him in China and have a forever family himself," Sharon told Good Morning America.
In her Sept. 9 Facebook post, Sharon says what happened was "a God thing and an answer to prayer," noting that it saw "the right people, in the right place at the right time... a miracle."
Dawson's mom, Amy Clary, also witnessed the moment of pure innocent bliss between Dawson and Hannah.
"He was so excited. He was so giddy. He just ran up to her, hugged her, and they rolled to the ground," she shared.
