We went to the Streets of Indian Lake again for some family fun. It was fun to watch the kids get to play some games and get some treats!

Hello from Greg and Dana. We started our journey to Celia on July 12, 2005. After many years of hoping to have a child biologically we have found that God is leading us on a different journey. A journey of adoption, just as God has adopted us. We are thrilled to have this opportunity to parent a child. We hope you enjoy going along with us on this journey.

About Me
When a child is born, an invisible red thread reaches out from the child's spirit and connects to all important people who will enter the child's life. As the child grows, the threads shorten bringing closer those people who are destined to be together. ~Chinese Proverb~
