My baby sister

When I was younger, I used to pray for a little sister.

We adopted Masha from Russia when I was 18 and she was 13. Imagine leaving behind everything you've known and starting a new life at the age of 13.




Masha recently took the GED and got her high school diploma. We are so proud of her!

Masha and "baby" don't go in the same sentence. :)
