LOS ANGELES (CBS) — An Orange County family got the greatest holiday gift they could imagine — their adopted child, a 9-year-old burn victim from China, arrived in Los Angeles Friday.

CBS2’s Melissa McCarty was at Los Angeles International Airport for Cami Ai Liu’s arrival.

Karen Ying Ling, the adoptive mother, met Cami last week for the first time.

“She just walked in and she just looked at me and I looked her in the eyes and we just knew,” she said.

Months before, she and her husband, Doug, took the leap of faith to adopt Cami based on her story and need.

“It was something that we feel we were called to do as Christians,” Doug said.

Cami, who was burned at the age of 2 and left alongside the road, has been living in an orphanage for the past 7 years… until now.

The family discovered Cami through the nonprofit Children’s Burn Foundation, which organized local doctor Peter Grossman to donate his time to reconstruct her face and body with all medical costs taken care of until she’s an adult.

The Ying Lings have adopted two other girls from China – one is 6 and the other, 4.

I Believe In Jesus Christ

Wow, how inspirational. True love exists in all colors, shapes, sizes, and appearances and the Ying Lings are prime examples of the pure love of Christ at work. There are far too few Ying Lings in the world. We should all strive to be the kind of people they are.

[...] Her oldest girl, Cami, and our daughter, Karen, really hit it off. Cami suffered severe burns as a very young child and she is going through several surgeries to repair the damage. I would be lying to say that all of that damage isn’t difficult to see in a child so young, but I’m an adult. All of my kids just saw another kid to play with, and I was very proud of them. If you want to learn a little bit more about Cami’s story, it was covered by the local CBS affiliate in LA and you can watch the video here. [...]
