“This is going to be great, we have been waiting a long time!” I remember telling my mom this before driving 2 ½ hours to adopt my sister Mia, “I know, we are all excited.” My mom responded.
Adopting my sister Mia was not an easy task. It was like a sunrise, before the adoption it is dark, and maybe scary, but after it is done and final, it is full of beauty and wonder.

We took care of her for about 2 months until it was time to go the court in Detroit to get it finalized. So we all piled into the car, and drove 3 ½ hours to the court. Where we met our other family members, like our grandparents, great grandparents and other family members. A few minutes later, we went into the court
