Tanzania 2017
On December 24, 2017 Mia became the best Christmas gift we will ever receive. After a four year adoption journey we became a family of three. From day one Mia was all in, we were Mom and Dad and she was our daughter. She was six years old, brave, confident, curious and clever. God equipped Mia for the grand adventure He had planned in advance for her.
Over the past year we have been able to experience so many “firsts” together. There is something magical about seeing a six year old full of awe and wonder swimming, flying on an airplane, eating ice cream, seeing an elderly person, riding a bike, playing in snow, meeting family, riding an escalator, speaking German, and seeing her new home for the first time.
And the fantastic thing is, these moments just keep coming. One of Mia’s most spoken lines is, “I did not expect that.”
Munich, Germany is home for us where Mia attends German school in grade one. She is a crazy combination of Tanzanian, American, and German with a sassy twist. She speaks German, English and is holding on to her Swahili. We work for Young Life, an interdenominational Christian organization. As a family we share our lives and faith with teenagers from all over the world. The kids love Mia and she loves them. We’ve gone on lots of Young Life adventures here in Germany, Austria, Scotland and even in Mia’s home country of Tanzania. Life is good. Serving together as a family is an
enormous blessing.
Thank you for being part of our adoption story. Thank you for your encouragement and support while we waited in anticipation to bring our daughter home and start living life together. Thank you for a lifetime of laughter, joy, love and crazy. You have made an everlasting difference in the lives of three.
Thankful, Grateful, Blessed,
Liz, Aaron & Mia K.
