In honor of Deborah's six year anniversary yesterday I am going to share her adoption story.Our journey to adopt started back in 1995 after we had been married 3 years. First (1996-1998) we tried to adopt by going through classes to adopt through our county. Secondly (1998) we attempted to start working on an independent domestic adoption and thirdly (1999-2001) had a failed adoption of twin girls from Sierra Leone which involved a 10 day trip to Senegal where we ended up coming home empty-handed.
Finally in 2002 we attempted yet another adoption but this time from Liberia. We were presented with Baby Yei (Deborah) whose mother had been struck and killed by lightning while Baby Yei was on her back at only 4 months of age. Baby Yei had a burn scar on her chest from the lightning.
