I’ve been blessed with 4 children. My oldest lives in California with her own family now. I’ve adopted 3 other children. My first was Kalaiah. I adopted Kalaiah from China when she was 9 months old. Unfortunately, in October, 2004, I lost Kalaiah to a rare type of cancer. I was fortunate to have her in my life for 4 years before she lost her battle with NK Lymphoma. She died about 3 weeks before she turned 5.
After Kalaiah’s death, the paperwork was started to adopt again from China in February 2005. During my wait, God surprised me with a son, Zachary in November 2007. He had just turned 3 years old.
Then in June 2008 I received my new daughter’s picture and referral from the CCAA in China. Emily was born in 2007 in the Guangxi Providence in southern China.
Zachary and I excitedly welcomed Emily as she arrived home safely on August 8, 2008 - the opening day of the Olympics in Beijing.
It has been amazing to see God’s hand at work in these last two adoptions. Zachary and Emily are the best of friends. God was and is Always faithful and blessed us with a beautiful family.
