10 Years Together

It was 10 years ago, that a sweet little girl from Guatemala came to our family. We love her spunk, spice, and kind heart.

Born In Our Hearts

"We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands." ~Kristi Larson

International Adoption Information

We are so happy that we were led down the path of adoption. Gabriela has already brought us so much joy in the short time she has been with us. If you are interested in pursuing an international adoption, our wondeful agent is starting up her own adoption agency. She worked so hard for us and even though Guatemalan adoptions are currently closed, she is doing work in Ethiopia, Haiti, and Eastern European countries. Her website is: http://www.bbinternationaladoption.com/ and her name is Kelly Carmody. Let us know if you have any questions!
