Family update

Hi forum friends! It has been soooo long since I posted, and I thought I would just give a little update on our family. We adopted our daughter from CRAN in Bogota' in April of 2008 when she was 5 months old. She will be turning 4 at the end of October and is such a bright, fun-loving, spunky little girl who never ceases to delight us! We then adopted our son in August of 2010 from CRAN as well when he was 11 months old. So, we just recently celebrated his 1 yr Gotcha Day as well as his 2nd birthday. He is doing awesome and is a typical little boy- high energy, loves to run and climb, and loves anything to do with cars, trucks, and trains!! We had such a great experience adopting from Colombia and would encourage anyone considering it to go for it!!! We are planning to go back for a visit in the next year or two, and as far as a third adoption goes, the jury is still out. We've kind of got our hands full at the moment, but in a few more years, who knows?!?! To all of you who are still waiting, I am praying and crossing my fingers that referrals will be coming very soon!!!! All the best to all of you!

Oh yeah, and we also just moved to the Atlanta area over the summer, so if any of you are close by, we'd love to meet some other fellow Colombia adoptive families!!!
