Ry Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 we drove through a terrible snow storm to the Detroit International Airport to pick up the cutest little baby girl from South Korea. She was four months old. She's been one of three of the best things to ever happen to us. She is the coolest kid. When John was sick from chemo I was able to work because at 11 she would bring her dad soup and check on him. She has been so great throughout all of this. December 7th marks the birth of Jillian the biggest shock ever, after adopting two children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Sounds like Santa and the Stork had identity crises with Jillian, but that Santa came a bit early to your house - twice! Congratulations, on your thirteen year anniversary of a "Made in Korea" gift from NorthWest (or United or...) and your seven year anniversary of "WHAT?!".

Lisa O Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I had the honor of meeting both of your girls and they are both truly special. Leah still talks about fishing with Kaitlyn (did I spell that correctly?) May you enjoy your celebrations of both landmarks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Congratulations, Ry! That is the neatest story. We adopted our son, too. He was seven weeks old, and today he is 27. There's nothing like it is there? Other than those times when I think it's the stupidest thing we ever did (LOL!), I would go back and do it all over again and love every minute of it! Congratulations! You got to celebrate an anniversary birthday (her birth into your family) AND her 13th birthday just four months ago. How cool! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy P Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Ry and John - I have a special place in my hearts for adoptive parents for I was adopted as well. Parents who open their hearts and their homes to babies, especially those from different nationalities, are the most special people. May your family continue to be blessed and an early happy birthday to Jillian!!! Much Love, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
