Teresa was born on December 25, 2006 in China. She was born with a very complex heart condition. In July 2010, GOD added Teresa to our family through adoption. We have been blessed with 9 wonderful children. Gods grace has woven us together as a family. Upon bringing Teresa home from China we unfortunately learned she not only needed a heart transplant but also a lung transplant. Her doctors feel she would not survive this operation. Please help us to pray for a miracle for Teresa's heart and lungs to be healed. She is a very special little soul who has touched so many lives around the world ...

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 331 of 331I am so, so sorry. I only 'found' your page, via a friend, a few days ago, but Teresa has dominated my thoughts since that moment. She is whole again, in Jesus's arms, right this moment. That is the hope that we all must hold onto. May God bless you all and bring you all comfort during your time of grief, and up until you shall meet her again, on the other side...
Sending you all prayers and thoughts, and thanking Teresa for the inspiration she has given to so many through her life. Today an angel has returned home and she is healed.
heartbroken for her and your broken heart... Wishing you peace and strength to carry this great loss. Warm regards from The Netherlands, Claudia Huisman
So sorry and sad for Teresa passing, now her pain is gone and she is in smiling in Jesus arms. Will keep your family in our prayers to find comfort and peace in your hearts.
I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers being said for your family.
I never got to meet her, but now I know of a new saint who will intercede for us here. St. Teresa, pray for us and your family!
Your fellow China mom,
Michele
So sorry to hear of this...we have been praying and following updates on this all day...words can not be of much comfort right now. I hope that your family finds comfort in Jesus as little Teresa did during her time here. I am sure you all answered her prayers in giving her a family that she always wanted, that loved her through everything and for just who she was, that loved God as much as she did and stayed through the fight with her. She is at peace now, no more fighting little Princess Teresa...you are with your Prince now.
There are no words. We pray for God to give you and your family strength to carryon. The world lost an angel today. What an amazing family, and how wonderful for Teresa to have found you.
We are so sorry, and broken hearted. Take comfort in knowing that Teresa is safe with Jesus.
We will continue to pray for peace for you and your family.
Love and hugs,
The Cannon's
Lo siento mucho. Teresa estuvo con la familia que Dios eligió para ella, y con ella conoció la verdadera felicidad. Habéis sido un ejemplo y vuestra hija Teresa nos ha tocado a todos. Dios les bendiga
Thinking of you and wishing you peace and strength.
Teresa was a blessed miracle and "brave soul" who has brought nothing but love and unification to this world, and many, many people. Her smile is imprinted in our memory and souls. Our hearts are with her and her Beautiful new heart from God. May God's unending love and embrace bring some comfort during this time. We hold you and Teresa and your family in our prayers. No words are enough for the loss of your precious Teresa. I hope you know that her life made a difference in the lives of thousands and more.
Dear Bartilinski Family,
I first came across your blog while in the process of adopting our China princess,then age 7, with a severe, possibly terminal heart defect. She has been home 18 months and, like Teresa, is magical.
There are no words that can even begin to heal your hearts I know, but I just need to say, Well done. You gave your all, you gave your best, you never gave up.
Teresa is picking flowers in Heaven.
Love and Prayers to the Bartlinski family.
While this loss is difficult, let peace overflow in your hearts today as you realize Teresa is healed, well and whole in the arms of Jesus. She got her Disney, in the most magical place....HEAVEN....and right now she is showing her earrings off to all of our loved ones who are also with Jesus, waiting patiently for the days we join them too!!! She has been blessed to have your family as you were blessed to have her and now Princess Teresa is dancing and having a huge party with her King!!!! So while you grieve remember, SHE is celebrating a brand new life and body...she is today Free and smiling from ear to ear with her newly pierced ears! :-)
Ed, Lisa, Brandon, Justin and soon Leah ( in China now)
I am heartbroken for you.
I checked to see how things were going as soon as I woke this morning. I am so very sorry to hear your news. I just don't know what else to say, there are no words really. Please know my thoughts & prayers for comfort will continue to be with your family. Love &prayers from Australia
Praying for you and your family. Teresa touched so many lives and inspired so many.
Teresa's time here on earth may have been short, but you filled it with love, joy and faith. The greatest gift one can have is the love of a family. God wanted Teresa to remind everyone how important the love of family and life is- to experience the joys of living every moment, every day. Thousands have been touched by her and her spirit has changed the world. You gave her the love she so desperately needed to show the rest of us how to live.
No words will take away your pain- but know that we thank you for taking a young child with nothing and giving her the world.
Mom to 3 Russian princes and princess.
I'm so sorry. This is heartbreaking. But how lucky Teresa had been to have had such a loving family and happy life! She couldn't have asked for more loving parents and siblings. She has touched the hearts of and will be remembered by many. God bless you all.
So, so sorry for your loss.
I am so so sorry for your loss!!! My heart aches for you and your family!!
Praying for you and your family. She has a beautiful soul. Thanks for sharing her story so I could share this story with my little girl. ((((HUGS))))
I have been following your blog and praying for Teresa along with my church and FB friends. I clicked on this morning and then later this afternoon and my heart sank when I saw that she had not made it. God knew all about this long before she was born and gave her a loving family to go through this with her. She was given such love from your family and went to be with her Heavenly Father feeling that from you. This song went through my mind and I'm sharing it with you.
Trust His Heart
All things work for our good
though sometimes we can't see how they could
struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blinds us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hands
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand trust His heart
I am so sorry for your loss but so grateful that Teresa had the experience of a loving family before she left this world. Hugs. Lisa L.
So, so sorry....I will continue pray for all of you.
My life has been made richer in the short time I have followed your story and I can't imagine your pain. Forever she will be a part of you and so many others who's only true connection was the internet. God does miraculous things. Many prayers for all of you as you grieve and celebrate your dearest daughter.
I am sooo very sorry for the loss of your precious angel girl, Theresa. Words are never enough at a time like this and so I pray, knowing that the Lord will be your Comforter when mere mortal cannot do the job adequately. I just found your blog a few weeks ago. I have been praying for your princess, much like I prayed for Chrissie Patterson. I imagine they are dancing together with Jesus now, no pain, no fear, no sadness! I pray for your peace and comfort in the knowledge you WILL see her and hold her again someday! I am so grateful that God gave her the forever family she soooo wanted and adored. Her life mattered and will continue to do so in those she touched!
I have been following the events of the last week with hope for a miracle. I think that her life WAS a miracle! Now she has left her broken body and is free of discomfort. We were in China a few months ago and learned that they call that a "happy ending." Of course, for those of us on earth, it is very sad. I hope you can feel the compassion for your family that is coming from all over the world.
Hugs from Texas.

Teresa's bravery and determination has forever left such an impression on me. I know you will miss her dearly.
Love,
Mary in Atlanta,GA
I'm so sorry. Teresa fought so hard. I hope your strong faith will provide some comfort during this unimaginably difficult time. Teresa touched so many and her impact will be felt forever. I'm really sad for all of you.
"When we all get to Heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be..." I hope very much to meet Teresa someday. Love to each one of you!!! I am praying for you.
Truly so so sorry! But she is in the arms of Jesus welcoming her to peace and no pain! I deeply give you my dearest sympathy!!
I have been praying all day for you and your family. My heart is broken reading the update. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
So sad to hear about your loss. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.
Oh how my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I will continue to pray for all those who have been touched by Teresa during this courageous battle of hers. Her life will continue to inspire, challenge, and point to the Savior she loved so much.
This is the first time I come across your blog..I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the depth of your sorrow. I am the mom of two beautiful children adopted from Thailand. And I am training to become a minister, so I feel in a way we share many things. I will be praying for your whole family through this time, that you feel a special grace, strength and peace that only He can give us!

May God bless you all and help you find peace.
May the Lord comfort you during this time. We fell in love with Teresa and your family and really hoped to be able to send Teresa a beautiful pair of earrings to celebrate her brave struggle. We wish peace for your family.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful princess. Her smile was infectious! My family and I will continue to lift all of you up in prayer.
I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.
heartbreaking... she knew she was loved before she left this earth, rest in peace little Teresa.
I am so sorry, there are no words to express the heartache felt by all those touched by the princess. Please know that you and your family are being prayed for. God bless you. Peace be with you.
I am so sorry and sad for Teresa passing; she is not in pain anymore and is smiling in Jesus arms. Will continue keeping your family in our prayers to find comfort and peace in your hearts.

May God bless you and your family...
I am so sad to hear this, I'm in New Zealand and have been thinking of you. You have had support and positive thoughts and prayers from all round the world, so please know that a lot of people are supporting you, and Teresa's memory will stay with us all. She made a big impact in her short life. I'm glad she got to experience a loving family life, and she got excellent care from her family and medical experts.
I am numb. I prayed steadfastly for a successful surgical outcome, but God had other plans. Knowing that Teresa went from your arms directly into God's has given me some peace. Thank you for sharing this enchanting little girl with the world. I pray that your family is sustained by peace that comes from above & the knowledge that you will all be reunited in Heaven.
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing Teresa's courageous journey. She has touched my soul.
Je n'oublierai jamais votre enfant. Je vous envoie toute la force nécessaire pour traverser cette épreuve.
My sincere condolences.
She was so lucky you found her, to share her last memories with!
May the Love of Jesus flood you with comfort as Teresa begins her eternal healing!
I am fortunate that, because of Half the Sky, I meet thousands of very special children. I get to really know just a few few, but I often think about how truly soulful China's orphaned children are -- I guess because they lost so much when they were small.
And a very few children have such incredible depth of spirit, you can feel it whenever you look in their eyes. Teresa Fang Fang Bartlinski was such a child. The first time I met her at our China Care Home, I knew this was an old soul. She was only two years old, but I could see she'd been around a long, long time. When she smiled at you, you felt her magic.
All of us at Half the Sky, in China and around the world, have been holding our collective breath since we learned a new heart had been found for our sweet girl.
Today Teresa's little body failed, but that extraordinary spirit spread its magic over all those who watched her struggle and sent their prayers. I am so thankful she found her family and had three glorious years with them.
The world lost someone precious today. May her dear family find peace in their faith and in knowing how loved she was.
With love,
Jenny

When we found out our unborn Granddaughter had HPLH, her parents started calling her "rainbow". They stated they were willing to endure a little rain to see their little "Rainbow". On our journey of heart surgeries and thinking we had lost her several times, My daughter gave me a quote that strengthens me everyday. "Whether you walk, run, or stumble...never lose sight of the reason for the journey or miss a chance to see a rainbow along the way." You had your rainbow and I have mine. Both blessings from God above.
My heart breaks for your family tonight but I rejoice in the fact that she is healed now and in no more pain. Praying for comfort and peace for your family in the coming days and weeks.
I am so sorry to hear the news about Teresa. Like so many others, I was praying for a different outcome. Teresa was so very blessed to have you and Ed as her parents and to be blest with such a loving family. Your unconditional love for her is nothing but phonomenal. Her love for Jesus was inspiring and your faith in our Lord and Savior will continue to bless all who come in contact with you. Teresa will also hold a special place in my hear. Will be praying for you and your family, especially during the days and weeks ahead.
Been following Teresa's story for years. I'm so so sorry.
My heart is breaking for your family. What an amazing blessing to have such a precious little girl if only for a short time. Bless your family for the love and joy you gave to her. Praying for peace for you. ♥
Our family has followed Teresa's story since Half the Sky advocated for her. I thank God for your family and the courage He gave you to bring home a child with such a grim prognosis. Our hearts are so heavy for each of you tonight. Here in SC, we will continue to pray for God to grant you strength, comfort, and peace. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Ps.116:15
You blessed this precious child with 3 years of love and a forever family. You did everything in your power to provide healing for her. May God bless you until you see Teresa again!
I am so sorry! I just don't have the words.....we will be praying for you all!
Like others, I've only recently discovered Teresa's story, but what a story it is. I'm so heartbroken for you and your family at this time. Crying real tears of sorrow for you and for your loss. Yet, rejoicing that Teresa is whole, perfect, and complete, resting in the arms of Jesus. Praying that you feel His perfect peace in the days, weeks, and months to come.
Jesus is hugging your baby girl tonight. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Becky

I followed Teresa's journey for only a short period of time, but she has made a huge impression on me. May her love continue on with every person she has touched.
My heart is breaking just reading this news. I've followed since I saw her on the Today show. She reminds me a lot of myself. I've had several open heart surgeries since I was a little girl. Today I turned 30 and the little princess I've followed day and night since I saw her sweet face on TV is now gone from this earth. The day I celebrate another year of thanksgiving of God still keeping me here she has been taken HOME. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Teresa's passing. Please accept my condolences as well as those of my 2 children. Teresa was a special gift from God and touched so many hearts. I believe that she is with Jesus now and is healed and free from pain. Love to you and your family.
Tears and prayers for you here in Chambersburg, PA.
So heartbreaking...so hearbreaking...
Wishing you hope and strength every day you wake up without Teresa. I have been following her story thanks to a friend, and while I have no religious framework and I do not believe in God, I am certain Teresa did amazing things while she was here (as you did for her), and she will continue to teach love and humility to all who loved her. So much love to you all.
We are so sorry you are without your little angel; we have been following and praying for her sweet life. Thank you for reminding us how precious our little girls are. We are crying, so sad. Our sympathy to your family.
Alyzabeth's Mommy
Your sweet little angel has touched so many of us following her story. My heart breakers for you and your family. I pray God gives you the strength to accept he has a better plan for your Princess Theresa. She is no longer in pain and smiling down on you with the brightest tiara only fitting for an angel.
My heart and my prayers are with you in your sorrow, Teresa is rejoicing, dancing before the Lord of Glory. Though we all know that our beloved is with Jesus, the emptiness they leave behind is still very real, sending you all love and hugs.
I had to let go of my youngest daughter July 2 2003, she was only 22 years young, though I know where she is, my heart and arms still yearns to hold her.
May the peace that passes all understanding be with you and your family. My heart like so many others, is broken, but the beauty is that Teres's is healed. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I've been following Teresa's story for the last few months, and was truly touched by your special little girl and inspired by your unmatched love and faith. You have been and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for your loss. She has touched so many people...may the God of all Comfort sustain you during this time.

Sweet princess, go dance among the stars. You have left an impact on so many lives during your short time here on earth.
Sending prayers for peace, comfort and understanding.
May God's glue that heals broken hearts pour down in you and your family. ...and He said, "Well done my goid and faithful servants."
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with Teresa with us. I have been following your blog for about a year. Thank you for obeying the Lord and bringing Teresa into your family--giving her a family on this earth for 3 years! I know you feel you were more blessed than she was. May God strengthen you and help you as you grieve your separation from her, and yet also rejoice in her ultimate healing. May you have sweet and precious times together as a family as you grieve and yet rejoice in Teresa's release from suffering.
As sad as I am right now, I am praising our Lord for complete healing of precious Teresa. I pray also for comfort that only the Father can bring to your tender hearts. May He bless you with beautiful memories and dreams of her until you are together once again walking the streets of gold hand in hand. God bless you all, I have appreciated your willingness to share your family with all of us. Your faith gives me strength every day and Teresa's smile is everlasting.

My family and I had the pleasure of sitting behind yours at graduation and was immediately drawn to the infectious spirit of the little girl we later learned was Teresa. My how she warmed our hearts for those three hours. My daughter shared her hospital journey with us and we've kept all of you in prayer. Our condolences to you at this difficult time. Giving thanks for the precious flower who in such a short time reminded me to 'live, laugh, love'. God Bless.

My heart goes out to your family in this difficult time. May your faith and the knowledge that Teresa is with Jesus in heaven give you peace as you mourn her loss on earth.
Thank you for sharing your sweet loving Teresa with me. I was once told the best compliment you can give someone is to shed tears when they are gone. Many many tears have been and are being shed for your sweet Teresa. May our Lord Jesus comfort you in your sorrow. As Teresa once said, her heart and her sweet arm is now healed. May she rest in peace. My love is with you and I will continue to pray for you and your family. Love and prayers from Louisville, KY.
Sending love and prayers. Another China heart Mama.
I, along with the rest of the world, did not want this to be the way this day would end. I've put off looking at your blog after reading the morning entry just trying to convince myself it was going to be ok. And yet I know though this isn't the ending we might have chosen, God really had the only vote. Your daughter has become part of so many families over the past months, weeks and days. And the love and strength and faith of your family has amazed us all. My daughter is now 19 and from eastern Russia, but the pictures of your Teresa and her beautiful sisters remind me so much of my Katie when she was younger. I will hug her tighter and remember to thank God continuously for adding her to our family. And I know Jesus is thrilled with the addition of your princess Teresa to His heavenly family today! What a treasure you have lost for now, but I am rejoicing at her healing and the reunion we will all share one day in heaven!
Love and heartbreak and tears and faith

My heart hurts for you terribly! And yet in that pain, I praise God for bringing Teresa to you! You loved her so well on earth!
I woke up praying for your girl. I go to bed tonight praying for your comfort!

We too have an Asian Angel.....
Our prayers are with you!
Prayers for your family
I have been following your story since seeing it on The Today Show. Theresa was a true inspiration to everyone, and especially those of us with chronic diseases. You were in the presence of a true angel. Bless you and your family for giving Teresa a brief but wonderful life. She deserved so many more years, but I know she will always be with you.
You are all so amazingly strong. God bless you!
I am so sorry for your loss. Find comfort in knowing you have an angel watching over you from above...
We are profoundly sorry for your loss. May God bless and keep you. Hugs and prayers from Doylestown, PA.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine the pain that you must be feeling- My heart aches for you and your family. I had been praying fervently for a miracle for your sweet Teresa. Your precious angel touched the lives of so many and both Teresa and your family have taught many people about the selfless love of Jesus. I pray that love will help to comfort you during the very difficult time ahead. Please know that I will continue to lift up your family in prayer. God Bless!
She's an angel in heaven and she had love to get her there.
I am SO VERY sorry for your loss. Prayers and love sent to you all.
So sorry for your earthly loss. We have been praying for God's Will and will continue to pray for His peace and loving arms to surround you this day and the days ahead.
Today, we celebrated our DD's Gotcha Day. Teresa was held in the arms of Jesus at the same time of day that six years ago I held my daughter for the first time. And I'm reminded that, even though we are adopted into God's family the day we believe, we will all have our own Gotcha Day the day our Loving Savior holds us in His arms for the first time. So, today, Teresa got to celebrate another Gotcha Day with her Heavenly Father.
As your Baby Teresa took her last breath, God gave her her little angel wings.Can't you just picture your beautiful little angel, with a huge smile on her face and her arms outstretched flying as fast as she could into God's outstretched arms. He gave her an enormous embrace and told her You are home, Baby Girl. no more suffering.
My heart aches for all of you who love and will miss her.God bless you.
I am in awe of the strength and courage that your daughter showed in her short life. She is an amazing little girl, and I'm so happy that God entrusted her to you. God bless your family during this difficult time.
Rose
I am just heartbroken for you. Such an inspiration as Theresa was to the world perhaps that was her mission in the short time she was here. Please know my prayers are with you and your children. I know God will be beside you in this terribly difficult time. God love you all.
I found your page through Sarah's mom Janet, I prayed for Teresa too. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that Jesus can give you call comfort and strength during this difficult time. God bless you all.
I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Your precious princess in home in the arms of Jesus, with her pretty little earrings and no more tubes, she can now run,dance and all the things she could not do here. It must be terribly hard and devastating, so thankful you have your faith that you will see her again. May God grant you His peace that goes beyond all understanding. What a blessing that she went to heaven having experienced tremendous love from you and not in a Chinese orphanage!! Our Christian walk is not always easy, but I am praying for your healing, and for God to give you rest as He perfects your faith in Him.She is under the shadow of His protective wings.
My heart is so heavy for you and for your family. I have been praying for a miracle every moment of every day since I became aware of your sweet Teresa. Our daughter Faith also came to our family through adoption in 2010. We truly know the joy such a gift from God is and mourn with you this day. We join in the many prayers of comfort being said on your behalf during this difficult time.
I am heartbroken for you and your family. I burst into tears when I read the blog tonight telling of Teresa's death. But I am filled with joy that she is finally healed and with her Jesus. I will continue to pray for all of you as I know the coming days will be very difficult.
may god angels surround the family and friends to comfort them after this terrible news she fought long and hard and at some point god says this is enough and takes them home with him where there is no more pain no more sorrow and makes the promise that one day we will all be together again cherish the memories and no that you made her dreams come true no matter how short of time you was with her she is probably up in heaven setting on jesus lap telling him all about her family and how much she was loved may god comfort you and we will keep praying for you
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I have no words...
Your daughters story has touched so many of us. I can't help but believe she will always be your guardian angel as you were hers here on earth.
Just crying now. And praying for you and this little princess in Jesus hands. From NY

You set our to give this precious angel a beautiful life...in return she touched so many lives- including my own. I just started reading your blog a couple weeks ago. My sister adopted a special needs lil' girl who has also had some heart complications.
Theresa was blessed to be loved by you & her family. By the sounds of your blog she was an incredible blessing to you all as well. All children are gifts tho some children bring abundant LIGHT into this world...Theresa was one of those gifts. Thank you for sharing your journey. The Ferrer Family is sorry for your loss...I can picture Theresa riding her bike into heaven as she waves goodbye to all of you. Wow...Jesus is happy to welcome this child into His arms.
Praying, praying for you!
Teresa was put her for a reason. It was to show all of us how precious life is. It brought all of us here who have made comments together to show that people really do have good in them even with all the bad that has happened recently in our world.
Teresa was truly an angel while here and now with Jesus.
God Bless you and your family.
Words are hard to find at a time like this but I am truly sorry for your loss and I am praying for the family.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry for your great loss. Sweet Teresa will feel no more pain in heaven. She is truly an angel now.
Heartbroken for you here on earth but rejoicing with Teresa as she is healthy and in the arms of Jesus. Thank you for sharing your precious girl's life with us. I am truly blessed from following along on her journey.
Prayers coming your way
Little Teresa's family. My family new yours. I'm part of the O'Neill family. I remember 2 years back, we were at the Chinese New Year Festival and I saw her. She looked so happy and as if she enjoyed it there. I hope she did, like she currently is in heaven. R.I.P Teresa, a 6-year-old with a soul pure enough to go up to heaven earlier than others.
my heart breaks for your family. teresa was an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing your story. I am a better person for reading about your love for your family and Teresa's love for you and zest for life.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am so happy she knew the love of a family. . I am so happy you had all the wonderful moments with her. It is beautiful how God brings us to our children. Most importantly she would not have known about Jesus love for us without finding her family to teach her about him.
