When my sister, Charla told me 5 yrs ago that she was seriously considering adopting, I was overjoyed.

There were so many conversations about all the details..

How would it impact our family? what gender? what nationality? would she be healthy?

Charla & her husband decided on South Korea.

Once the paperwork was finished, there was so much waiting for news.. any news.

Finally the phone call came!

Lily was 10 months old when she became part of our family… a year ago.

She is truly loved and an answer to prayer for my sister.
I’m quite the proud aunt too. ; )

We live a few miles away.. so I’m able to see her often and  my sister & I talk so much, I think miss Lily is convinced I live inside their phone. lol ;D
