We began our Brazil adoptions in 2003 when we brought over Allan, a Med Child from Reciefe who was 15 years old. He was deaf, had never been to school and did not know ASL (American Sign Language). He has been such a blessing and has the best personality. Because of our experience in Brazil and how smooth everything went it inspired us to adopt more children from Brazil.

In 2004 we returned to complete Allan's adoption and also adopted Cleverson age 15 and Cryslaine age 9 from Curitiba. We had previously adopted Aliegha from the US at 6 weeks of age in 2001 and also Elijah 5 years of age from Kazakhstan. In 2002 we returned to Kazakhstan for Indira age 5. We have quite a mixture but GOD was not done adding to our family. In February of 2006 we adopted Joshua from Haiti and we also returned to Brazil in 2006 to adopt Mia a 4 year old from Reciefe, giving us a total of 8 adopted children and 4 bio (12) children total.

I have to say that our adoption experience from Brazil was the best. Everything went smooth and Lino and Luciana were very professional. They were there to guide us through every step in Brazil. Thank you LIMIAR for all you do. You are the best!
