LIANA’S ADOPTION STORY

Adopting Liana

We adopted our beautiful daughter Liana, whom we adopted through The Cradle and Holt International in September 2004. We had a wonderful experience with The Cradle, and felt very well prepared through the parenting classes and our meetings with our counselor.

Liana is truly an angel to us – our trip to China to meet her was an amazing and wonderful culmination of our adoption journey. We love and enjoy her more every minute – her giggle brightens our day and she has finally made our family complete.

– Neil & Carol O’Rourke
