Ric and I were able to “adopt” a daughter, a Marine serving in the embassy, and invited to attend her promotion from Corporal to Staff Sergeant Megan now serves our embassy in Bulgaria. We are looking to adopt another Marine soon.

This is a great sounding program. I didn’t know about it. It has to mean so much to the person you adopt. I was at Starbucks today. Still, every time I go in I find myself looking for you and Ric! Loony time at my home – new roof going on! Then it will be windows! Expensive summer for me!

You guys are so wonderful! I know it means a great deal for the young marines to have a family, especially so far away from home. Make sure you keep in touch with them as they go on to other duty stations!
