About Me

Kathy: I am married to my sweet husband Erik. We have had three bio children. Katie who is currently 29 years old and just got married in Sept. 2011 to Eddie (nice guy :) We then had our sons Kyle and Tim. They died in a car accident on Nov. 3 2002. They were 18 and 17 years old. Not a day goes by that I don't think about them and miss them so much. They would be 27 and 26 years old right now. They were two of the nicest and sweetest guys that you would have ever met. Before the boys died, we were in the process of adopting and we had to put it on hold for a while. We decided to go on with the adoption and in Oct. 2008 we brought home the sweetest little girl at 21 months old from Jiangxi, Emma. She has brought so much joy to our lives. We are now waiting to bring home our little Sophie that just turned two in Feb. 2012.

I Love You and miss you both very much

Little Miss M

EMMA

You first came to us in an envelope
With letters, forms and such
Just three little pictures
With nothing warm to touch.

You grew in our imagination
In our hearts and in our minds.
You brought us greater joy
Than we ever thought we'd find.

A phone call started labor pains
Which lasted 'til we met
Strangers brought together
A day we won't forget.

You bloomed as you were planned
In our hearts, our lives, our home.
Our child of chance, of plan, of will
You're now our very own.
