Emma's Adoption Video

Hello all. I thought I would share with you Emma's adoption Video. I have been working on it for quite sometime and am happy to say it is 99.99% finished. I have some very minor edits to do but here it is. I hope you enjoy it. Please know that all the waiting and tears are so worth it. It took us from April 2003 when we started to Feb 2005 to bring Emma home so I totally understand how you all feel. Hang in there and know there is a reason for everything. God works wonders. Have faith. I would like to wish you all Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and or Seasons Greetings from my family to yours. Hugs and hope to you all, Kathleen

Here is the link to the video...

Once there click on the black box that shows the adoption story. Turn on your speakers!

I loved it!! It is absolutely beautiful!! Rheagan's video is almost complete and I will share. I thought the letter from George and Laura Bush was neat, Rheagan did not get one so I am kind of jealous!


GOOD JOB, such a wonderful tribute!!!

That was beautiful. It brought back many fond memories of bringing my son home.
