Hannah leaves me surprises all the time! One of the many reasons I love homeschooling. She gets to be her own creative little butterfly!

WOW!! This last two years has flown by! Today is graduation! I remember sitting in Shirley 's bedroom when she first came to live with us talking to her about her college dreams! Today starts a new chapter with her life. I have enjoyed watching her reach those dreams. Thank you Shirley for allowing dad and I to be your forever American mom and dad! Love you!! ❤️ #blessed #caps #cute #college #daughter #determination #family #friends #gowns #godsbeauty #graduation #heart #instagood #instagram #internationalstudent #joy #life #love #learning #lifetimegoal #memories #purejoy #quiet #smile #sister #WISCONSINUNIVERSITY

This bedroom once held all the belongings to a very sweet girl from Korea. I got to be her mom for a year. I will always be her American mom! I am very excited to see where God is directing her in life! I have to say my eyes are tearing up seeing the only thing hanging in her closet is her cap and gown. This means a new chapter of life is about to begin! Love you @linzykimm!!! #blessed #cute #daughter #fun #family #friends #godsbeauty #heart #internationalstudent #joy #love #memories #smile #graduation #caps #gowns #college

Ellie thought she needed to go for a ride in the truck with David and I. Ellie is 13 years old. She is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. We pretty much take it day by day with her and ENJOY it. @blondie_em95 #goldenretriever #love #thirteen #oldtimer #

Eight years ago a very wonderful woman gave birth to this beautiful child that I call my daughter. I think about this wonderful lady that gave this child life and twelve days after her birth placed her on the doorstep in front of a telecommunications building to be found. She knew she would not be able to provide for her needs. Fourteen months later on July 7, 2008 David and I became the parents of this very spunky, beautiful and amazing girl! I pray for Hannah's biological parents daily and thank them and God for the wonderful gift they have given us! Happy Birthday HANNAH MEI JOY!! #halftheskyfoundation #maonansocialwelfareinstitute #happybirthday #eightyears #child #adoption #cute #chinaadoption #daughter #family #godsbeauty #holtinternational #love #memories #purejoy #smile
