MEET ANGEL

Angel was adopted at the age of 8 years old. He has been home for a year and has brought our family so much joy in that short amount of time. Angel is adjusting well to our family and traditions. He recently had a life saving open heart surgery. During his hospital stay, he won over all the nurses and quickly became everyone’s favorite patient. He brings smiles and joy everywhere he goes. Angels older brother recently commented “I can’t imagine our life without Angel. He was made for us.” Adopting Angel has been so incredible for our family. Our hearts have expanded in ways we never thought possible. Loving him is easy!

MEET lucy

Lucy was adopted at age 3 and is now 10!! We felt the pull to adopt and took the leap of faith to adopt a little girl with Down syndrome. It was the best decision we have ever made. Lucy lights up any room she enters. She is so loved in our family and community. Lucy has a full and beautiful life at school and is a “celebrity” with so many friends that love and greet her. She is excelling in school with reading and math. Lucy participates fully in ballet classes and her school choir. Her 6 siblings adore her and would do anything for her. Lucy is a blessing to all that know her. She has taught us how to love big and enjoy every moment. Our world is so much brighter because she is in it.

MEET hannah

When Hannah came home from Armenia in December 2025, she weighed just 16 pounds and couldn't even sit up on her own due to spending her entire life in an orphanage. In the months since, she has amazed us with her growth, resilience, and joy. She celebrated her third birthday surrounded by a family who adores her, learned to scoot and crawl, and began communicating through American Sign Language. Hannah loves playing with her brothers and sister, swinging at the park, kayaking, hiking, and swimming. She especially loves music and never misses an opportunity to dance.

Hannah lights up every room she's in with her bright smile and infectious laugh. People are drawn to her obvious joy and love hearing about her journey and the incredible progress she continues to make. This fall, she will start preschool and we are excited to witness her continued growth and achievements. Hannah has blessed our family beyond measure, and her story is a reminder of what is possible when a child is given the opportunity to thrive in a loving family.
