Happy Thanksgiving to our village! Some time has passed since our last blog post and we feel the need to give a little update even though there hasn’t been much adoption news to share lately.

We made the news! Our CBS 58 news story Earlier this week we shared on Facebook and Instagram that our adoption story was going to be highlighted on CBS 58. Our story aired on the evening of January 29, 2019. We wanted to share the news article and video with you in case you missed […]
