Hi! My name is RiAnnon. I am married to Stephen since 2004. We have one child, Isaac, 20 months old that was adopted from Guatemala at 7.5 months old. I grew up in the Parkersburg/Vienna area, but we now live outside of Clarksburg. I breastfeed my son and have since 24 hours after he was placed in our arms. A lot of people find that interesting. I am a mostly SAHM (I work 2 days a month outside the home). I don't know what my fav restaraunt is, but my little boy's is anywhere that has Chickie Nuggets....LOL. We are members of GAFA of WV, a support group for people in WV that adopted from Guatemala. Oh, we have 2 dogs also. As far as favorite things in this area, that would be my DH and DS. I really don't know the area well and have had trouble making acquaintances/friends. I would LOVE to meet some new people and get to know you!

Hi, I too grew up in Parkersburg...went to PHS, graduated in '86! Small world!!! We live in Chicago now, but I saw your post and couldn't believe it!

Awesome! I didn't graduate from PHS because I went to Christian school, but that is still cool! I graduated in '95. Did you adopt any children? Looking to adopt?
