Life with an Extra Chromosome | International Adoption

We finish each day with a dance party right before their bedtime. My 10-year-old has most of the K-Pop choreography memorized and will belt out the lyrics (her version) to any song that comes on. My 11-year-old creates his own dance moves and accurately sings the last word of each line, still a die-hard Raffi fan. The 15-year-old sways and verbalizes to the songs at her own pace and rhythm choosing to join in with all the genres. 

Peanut Butter & Jelly | International Adoption

Peanut butter and jelly. Oreos and milk. Knife and fork. Movie and popcorn. Soap and water. Salt and pepper. You get the point. Some things are just meant to be a pair!  Enter Al (10) and Amie (7)—Yin and yang for sure. This bonded brother-sister pair is closer than close can be. They have lived the highest of highs and the lowest of lows together. While their short lives have been fraught with chaos, the one thing that has remained constant has been each other. In each other, they find a peace that only the closest of siblings can understand.

The SuperKids Adventure Program is a life-changing opportunity for families to welcome children from international orphanages into their homes, offering them a glimpse of family life and the warmth of a loving environment. This short-term program not only allows children to experience new cultures and environments but also gives families the chance to create meaningful connections that often last a lifetime. Whether or not international adoption becomes part of your journey, participating in this program will open your heart in unexpected ways.
