Joylee has an incredible Jie Jie, Big Sister. I'm not sure I'm spelling that correctly, but a big sister is called a Jie Jie in Chinese and Bethany is a fantastic one! From the moment we mentioned to Bethany over three years ago that we were going to adopt she has been nothing but encouraging and excited. Now that the day has come she has really stepped up and shined! She and Joylee are like two peas in a pod. Joylee wants her Jie Jie all the time and Bethany is not one to disappoint! Last night after dinner Joylee even said "Jie Jie" when she was upset and didn't know where Bethany was because she couldn't see her!
What's interesting as well is how God has worked this all out. Joylee and Bethany have similar personalities - outgoing, fun, friendly, not wanting to be held back or retrained, engergetic, laughing a lot, having fun. These two were made for each other!
I have always been thankful for Bethany and proud of the girl that she is. Seeing her in action as a "Jie Jie" just confirms what a blessing she is.
