Visit with Friends....Old and New...


We had the opportunity to see out Translator and dear friend Nazym again this week. We also got to meet a family that we have been emailing with over the last year. The Sapp Family adopted their 2 children from the same babyhouse that Mia is from. I am pretty sure that Mia and Natalia were in the same baby group for a while. We met at the Zoo in Evansville, Indiana. It was a great visit and the kids had alot of fun together. We are so fortunate that Mia will have friends nearby who share her heritage and life story! Chris and Michelle have been great friends to us on this journey. It is great to finally see us all home with our children! :) And to share the day with the amazing lady who took care of all of us in Kazakhstan! Wow! That's the best!

Here is Natalia, Zane (also from Kaz), and Mia enjoying the Zoo!

What beautiful children! We feel so fortunate we had the opportunity to see Nazym again, and to meet you and your family! Thanks for making the drive to meet us! We really appreciate your time! Mia is even more beautiful in person! Our two girls are two peas in a pod - earrings, bows, their clothes, not to mention thw important things like being adopted from the same baby hose in Ust-Kamenogosk, Kazakhstan..... :-) I love it! We followed your journey, and by reading your blog, was the first time we had ever heard of Ust. Little did we know we would soon be following your footsteps to meet our own children! Can't wait to see you all again!

Love,
The Sapps
