Come JOIN US on Our Adventure!

This blog is focused on FAMILY - reuniting and reconnecting. Starting March 19th, 2008, I will be journeying back to the Philippines with Pedro as he reunites with his birth family after 18 years. We will also visit my birth family and our shelter/children's home afterward. This will be a full 3-weeks, but really, this is the beginning of it all!

"Yes! And it's a picture of her and my family. Everyone except Marcelo."

Do you see any resemblance?

"No." [laugh]

Really?

She has high check bones?

"Yeah, I guess..."
