How is it possible that I can be so blessed.


Today, I've been granted the wishes of my heart. They weren't frivolous wishes, they were HUGE ones. To be entrusted with the life of a child is the greatest priveledge I can think of. With it comes a committment that is so fierce it alters the way my body works. My heart is forever linked to a child who was not born from under my heart but in it.




Please meet: Grace MacKenzie Clifton





Born April 4, 2006 in Novosibirsk, Russia



Adopted August 10, 2011



Welcome Gracie! Your mama can't wait to bring you home!


I love you so much!
