A Little Background: Meet Our Family


Many of you know our family, but in case you don't, here we are! Katie will be our fifth child, and she will also be the oldest child in our family. Here you can see Mr. G. and I, along with David (13), Justin (11), Anna (9), and Leah(7).

Families are formed in many different ways. In our family, children arrived to us through both birth and through adoption. This was exactly how we wanted to build our family, so we are very happy about that!

David and Justin were born to me, and Anna was adopted from Seoul, South Korea when she was a baby. (See video of Seoul here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D1to2w_pZk ). Leah was adopted from Hubei Province, China, when she was almost 5 years old. (See video of Wuhan-the closest city to the countryside where Leah lived here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2XfN-4hJH0 and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CyiiNzPtRY .) Katie is coming from Jiangsu Province, China. We think she will be arriving home in March, and Mr. G. is traveling to China to get her!
