sisters in arms

A ministering angel shall my sister be.
~~ William Shakespeare

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.
~~ Isadora James

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do, they’ll
 still be there.
~~ Amy Li

Sisterhood is powerful.
~~ Robin Morgan

The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend.
~~ Cali Rae Turner

One sister…unable to speak.

The other…the voice she never had.

My God does ALL things well.

    There’s nothing better than sisters. My family was built through adoption, and I can’t imagine life without my two little sisters.

    Hannah-Claire, Haven, Hailee, and Harper are lucky to have one another (and you)!

    OH HOW I LOVE those smiles! PRICELESS! I was adopted into a family with 2 brothers and am SO THANKFUL God brought 3 bio sisters into my life when I turned 25! I’ve had 15 wonderful years with them already! Sisters-SUCH A BLESSING!

    Love them! Isn’t God something? From the start of time he had them planned to be sisters. Sweet, sweet, sweet is the provision given by God Our Father!

    And I FINALLY got to see the video of little Hailee walking! You go baby girl! Pure joy my friend. Praying Yana will star in a similar video one day soon!

    What a gift God gave them when He brought them together! I had to wait until I got married at age 26 to get my sister - and I wouldn’t trade her for anything!

    They are so sweet, so perfect together! I always, always wanted a sister, and I am excited that my sweet daughter will someday have a sister of her own.

    Have a lovely weekend!

    All the best,
    Nicole A., now in LA

    We came to Ukraine to adopt a sister for my daughter since we have two boys, but we ended up adopting another boy. From reading this entry, maybe I need to come back again to get her a sister!

    OK, Adeye!!! The tears are flowing again! I remember your post about how your sweet girls loved each other from the very beginning! I will never forget the pic of them snuggled up together in the bed very soon after meeting for the first time in China! SO sweet!!!!!

    Ahh! I finally found your blog again!! I read some of your blog months ago when my husband and I first started talking about adoption (well so far we’re STILL just talking, but are getting CLOSER to being ready) anyway I just haven’t been able to stop thinking about your family, especially Haven. I always wonder how she is doing but couldn’t remember the blog name, it’s been driving me crazy! Every time I’m on the computer I have to devote some time to the “search”. My husband accused me of stalking your family. Sorry! I really do think you are a great family so I probably will save your blog address now and leurk from time to time ..or every day ;)
