“It is hard to believe that Arama has been home for 1 year now! She has adjusted beautifully into our family. I am so thankful to the generous donors to Gift of Adoption who made it possible to bring Arama home. It is wonderful to watch her experience new things she was not able to do or have in Ghana.”
Kenneth & Susan of Tinley Park, IL (adopted Arama in 2007)
