An Amazing Gift!

Albinism is rare. 1 in 17,000 people in the U.S. have albinism. Statistically speaking, that would be 27 people in our town.

Being Chinese with albinism in the U.S. is probably more uncommon. I have no basis for that other than speculation.

Being adopted is becoming much more common, but is still not the norm for our society.

Home schooling is growing, but still not mainstream.

Being a follower of Christ seems to be becoming less common today than it was years ago.

Now, what are the chances of meeting someone who falls under all those categories? An adult who is Chinese with albinism, adopted, home schooled all the way through graduation, and a Christian. I would say our chances are pretty slim.

However, God has placed that exact person into our lives. I feel so blessed. A few weeks ago, a friend of mine was at a conference purchasing something at the book store. She noticed that the girl helping her was Chinese with albinism. I am so thankful that my friend took the chance and connected with her. I have now been communicating with our new friend. She doesn't live too far from us, so it will eventually be more than just an online friendship. I can't even express how huge this is.

What an amazing gift!
