Our Story
Iris came home at 2 1/2 years in June of 2005. She lived with her birth mother for 6 months, foster mother for 6 months, then an orphanage for 10 months, In December when we took the referral she was put into private foster care. The foster mother really prepared her. When we saw
her for the first time she came right up to us Mama, papa,
Michael( our 11 year old). We have bonded great over the last 6 months. I could not have asked for this to go any better. We did send a photo book to her with captions in spanish. I had a picture of Mike holding a teddy bear and then I sent the bear with the book. I did read toddler adoption the weavers craft. they have some very excellent advice.
