Introducing Yu-Lin

Some people find out they are having a child by peeing on a stick. We went to Heartsent Adoptions in Pasadena. At 2:30 PM we met with Val from the main office and Kerry from the local Pasadena office to find out about the little girl from Taiwan. After talking for an hour about our thoughts on family, children and the realities of adopting and older child, Val handed us photos. There looking back was little girl with a mischievous smile eating Pringles potato chips. I started crying. Her name was Yu-Lin and I just wanted to hug her.



Val asks us to sleep on our decision, to make sure we are absolutely certain before moving forward. There is no room for error in Yu-Lin’s life. She is turning 5 in November and has been at St Lucy’s since she was two.
