OUR PRINCESS KARLY
This blog was created for our beautiful daughter Karly, who we adopted from Guatemala at 10 months old on 03/06/08. Thank you all for your love, prayers & support, we really appreciate it!
October 19, 2007
Today we got updated pictures of Karly. She is 5 1/2 months old now. Her hair looks like it might be starting to lay down alittle, but just alittle. She is absolutely adorable! Apparently they've started putting clips in her hair now, but she's still not dressed in pink!

About Me
- Anne
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I am married to the love of my life, Rick and I am mommy to 2 boys, Drew (7) and Luke (3), and 1 girl, Karly (1 1/2). Drew (4/25/01)is our biological son and he is in 2nd grade. He's such a smart, handsome boy! We adopted Luke (9/12/05) from Harrisburg, PA in 2005 and we brought him home when he was 2 days old! He is always making us laugh! We adopted Karly from Guatemala and she came home on 3/6/08. She is our little princess. I am also mommy to my 2 angel babies in Heaven, Blake (12/26/03)& Gabriella (10/10-10/13/04) who were so small, so sweet and taken all too soon. I run an infant loss support group once a month and I volunteer at a grief center for children.
YOU
All babies are a gift, some are even surprises.
But YOU, my adopted child are a treasure!
YOU were not only planned and prepared for;
YOU were a journey we took, a mission we had our hearts on, a treasure so precious!
YOU were worth the wait, worth the tears, worth all the fears we faced.
Because YOU, our adopted child are a treasure!

Not of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it!
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it!
