Our journey to our forever family started in 2002 with an EAC seminar. We were amazed at the stories told by families who had come to share their journey and brought their children in to meet the group. We signed up with EAC immediately following the seminar and our son Kyle was adopted from Russia in December, 2003. He's been the light of our lives since then and continues to amaze me on a daily basis.

Now, over two years later we are again adopting with EAC. This time we are waiting to bring our daughter home from Guatemala. My husband and I feel the same excitement we did with Kyle each time we look at her pictures or view her video. Kyle enjoys looking at her picture too and tells people that she is his little sister.
