"We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands." ~Kristi Larson

Joseph and I met in 1988 and were married August 10, 1991. We both desired to have a large family because we love children so much. We were blessed with three biological children Anthony was born in March 1993, Michael January 1997, and Maria September 1999 on Mary's Birthday. The end of April 2006 God put on our hearts to adopt from Guatemala. We were matched with our little girl on September 6th 2006. She was born August 21st. Her name at birth was Maria Fernanda but since we had a Maria already we decided to name her Christina Maria Callens. Our adoption Journey began!! Christina was placed in our arms on June 3, 2007 in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Words don't describe how wonderful the feeling was to have our daughter stare up at us with her beautiful smile.
