I am Kelly, now the mother of three. You can follow our family adventures here. Keith and I were married in 2001 and our son, Koen was born in 2006. The Lord put a passion for orphans and a desire to adopt in our hearts and we started our adoption journey in early 2007. Liliana came home in September 2009. We started our second adoption journey in late 2014 and after a much shorter wait, met Micah in September 2015, 6 years to the day after first meeting our daughter. We are so blessed. I try to be real here about bonding, parenting, my walk with the Lord.....
Our Son
We can't wait to meet M. H. From Yunnan Province, born in August of 2014 with cleft lip and palate.
