Heart Fantastic Adoption Story...

We have very good friends that have adopted all four of their children from foster care-- their most recent was 8 year old Jessica almost 2 years ago.

This story was written about Jessica after she raised the most money in a fundraiser for the American Heart Association. The most beautiful part about the story is that she did it in memory of her adopted brother Micah, who died at age 2 due to heart problems-- a brother that she never met as this was several years before she joined their family.

Here's the link to the story...

Thanks so much for sharing that story. I will share it with my son who is currently collecting donations for Jump Rope for Heart in his 3rd grade class.

Jessica is one very special kid.

That brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy that little girl found a family to call her own. She is a beautiful girl inside and out.
