I have a heart for adoption. Domestic or International. I always had little black baby dolls growing up and have always wanted to visit Africa- my sister had lived there for a year before she was married and all of her experiences made me want to visit even more. In 2004, my sister and her family (with 4 kids) moved to Uganda to be missionaries. What a step out in faith! They had the normal, American life in Atlanta, GA but felt called to just "get up and go!" 

We were able to go in 2006 and visit them. I loved all 10 days we were there. My favorite memories are of me following her around "shadowing" her while she cared for the orphans straight off the street. After leaving Africa, I was changed. For the good. I want to go back, we want to adopt- hopefully from Uganda or Rwanda.

Below is their story. (be prepared to have a box of tissues on hand).
