Alexia (on the top with her daughter, Cassia) is a former student of Brian's and a part of this story. In September, we started spreading the word that we were hoping to adopt. It was Alexia who first reported a cousin in Pangnirtung who was pregnant. We never heard more from her. When she opened the door on Friday, it didn't take too long to make the connection!

Michele, holding Cassia, has been a huge support forLinda with both sons. She and her family, took our baby in when he was unexpectedly born 4 days before my arrival. She cared for him and provided a relaxing atmosphere for recouperation while waiting for our meeting. She is a guardian angel if I ever met one!
