We have BIG news! We are adopting sisters from Colombia!
We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome these beautiful children into our home. We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our children as they grow up.
This is a special needs adoption of two sisters. One has been diagnosed with significant medical issues, but both are considered special needs because of being of older age and being a sibling set.
