Once upon a time, on the faraway island of Okinawa, a Pre-school teacher and a Naval Officer, met, fell in love, and were married…
…Life was busy and full of adventure but they both knew someone was missing from their home. So, they began a long journey to find her…a long journey indeed. Often they felt discouraged on this journey …holding on to faith alone and one day…
…They opened an e-mail and fell in love! And traveled half-way around the world to bring her home…
…They became a party of three on December 15, 2014…and a new adventure began…
And they have never been happier or more complete. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

I love hearing about how how families become complete through adoption. 🙂 One set of my amazing kids is looking at international adoptions to adopt a sweet little girl to make their family complete also. I’m so excited about the possibility of being a Grammie to another sweet child. 🙂

We loved our little ones special smile but we are so thankful to our cleft team at Hopkins who take care of our angel. The speech is coming along slowly but she just amazes us everyday with her spunky attitude. How old is your cleft cutie?
