Super Skip
Where do we begin to explain how a tiny little boy from Angarsk, Russia, changed our lives forever? Skip is the love of our lives and an inspiration to all who meet him. 
- Skip's ParentsWhile many comment that Skip is a lucky boy, having found a forever family, we feel in our hearts that WE are lucky ones, having been given the privilege of adopting him into our family.

- Skip's ParentsThe process was long, but we have learned many lessons; including patience, faith, and the power of prayer. We spent almost 3 weeks in Angarsk and the staff there was incredible  - they have become friends to whom we will always be grateful.
