Eric KimWe are

&

Aloha,  it’s  great  to  meet  you!    We  are  Eric  and  Kim  from  Northern  Virginia.    Happily  married  for  12  years,  with  two  beautiful  and  energetic  daughters  we’ve  been  blessed  to  adopt,  we  are  turning  to  adoption  once  more  to  complete  our  family.    We  are  so  thankful  to  have  this  opportunity  to  share  a  part  of  our  lives  with  you.    Our  home  is  full  of  love,  activity  and  laughter!    We  spend  most  of  the  time  together  as  a  family  and  there’s  always  something  new  going  on…vacations,  craft  projects,  swim  lessons,  baking  cookies,  playing  sports…you  name  it!    We  can  assure  you  that  your  baby  will  be  a  top  priority  in  our  family  because  we  are  ready  with  big  hearts  and  open  arms!    Addison  and  Sophie  cannot  wait  to  be  big  sisters!    There  is  so  much  love  within  us,  and  our  extended  family,  that  your  child  will  always  know  what  love,  safety  and  happiness  are.

Well, who are we?

A Day in the Life of “Us”As  a  family,  your  child’s  life  would  include  our  trips  to  the  local  farmers  market  to  pick  up  fresh  fruit,  cheese,  vegetables  and  breads.    Kim’s  current  favorite  is  turkey  burgers  with  avocado  and  homemade  sweet  potato  fries  –  sweet  and  spicy.    Yummy!!    Friday  is  our  pizza  and  movie  night  where  the  girls  “help”  Kim  make  pizza.    Who  would  have  thought  that  three  simple  ingredients  like  homemade  dough,  sauce  and  cheese  could  be  so  much  fun!  All  of  us  can’t  wait  to  get  your  child  into  the  mix  of  things.

We  struggled  with  infertility  for  several  years  and  decided  to  build  our  family  through  adoption,  which  has  been  absolutely  wonderful!      The  girls  have  blessed  our  lives  more  than  words  can  say  and  we  are  looking  to  complete  our  family  through  adoption  once  again.    

Knowing  we  have  each  other  makes  life  incredibly  wonderful.

What Eric Likes To Do Growing  up,  my  family  took  long  summer  vacations  where  we  would  go  camping  and  Rishing,  and  winter  vacations  where  we  would  go  skiing  or  snowboarding.    My  love  for  the  outdoors  continues  into  adulthood.    I  am  an  avid  runner,  skier,  surfer,  and  Risherman,  but  I  can  also  be  found  reading  a  good  book  on  world  history  or  presidential  biographies.    One  of  my  best  childhood  memories  was  when  my  Dad  taught  me  how  to  make  his  famous  beef  enchiladas  with  red  sauce.    Now,  I  can  be  found  in  the  kitchen  making  my  own  version  of  enchiladas  -­‐  chicken  with  white  sauce.    Which  is  better,  chicken  or  beef?    Oh,  the  Yin  and  Yang  of  enchiladas!    I  absolutely  love  cooking  and  when  I  do,  I  can’t  help  but  to  use  every  single  pot  and  pan  in  the  kitchen,  which  makes  clean-­‐up  a  chore….for  Kim!    LOL

My hubby Eric (Written by Kim)

Eric  is  generous,  funny,  and  smart  and  has  more  integrity  than  anyone  I  know.    He  has  a  great  sense  of  humor,  which  keeps  me  laughing  all  the  time,  and  he  is  truly  a  thoughtful  husband  and  a  wonderful  Dad.    We  love  to  spend  our  time  together  doing  family  type  activities,  whether  it’s  playing  in  the  park,  an  afternoon  with  friends,  or  just  relaxing  over  a  meal  in  the  backyard.    Eric  is  such  a  positive  inRluence;  he  is  always  smiling  and  can  make  friends  with  anyone.    He  also  has  a  calm,  steady  presence,  and  I  trust  him  completely  with  my  heart  and  with  my  life.

My Better Half Kim

(Written by Eric)Kim’s  entire  face  lights  up  when  she  smiles,  and  her  laughter  is  infectious.    I  think  this  is  what  initially  drew  me  to  her,  but  it  was  her  generosity,  compassion,  and  boundless  optimism  that  hooked  me.    Kim’s  joyous  spirit  provides  a  perfect  balance  to  my  grounded  sense  of  reality.    Intelligent  and  strong-­‐willed,  she  constantly  challenges  my  assumptions  and  keeps  me  focused  on  the  important  things  in  life.    There  is  no  one  I  would  rather  have  by  my  side  through  this  adventure  called  life.

What Kim Likes To Do Growing  up  on  the  island  of  Oahu,  Hawaii,  I  spent  most  of  my  time  at  the  beach  surRing,  laying  out  in  the  sun  or  catching  one  of  those  infamous  Hawaiian  sunsets.    I  loved  playing  soccer  and  softball  and  enjoy  the  competitive  nature  of  sports  and  the  principles  of  sportsmanship  that  is  learned:  respect  for  teammates,  opponents,  and  the  game;  graceful  winning  and  losing.      I  also  enjoy  running  5k  and  10k’s,  and  plan  on  training  for  a  half-­‐marathon.    Eric  absolutely  love’s  my  Hawaiian  culture  and  we  try  to  integrate  it  in  our  daily  lives  by  teaching  the  girls  Hawaiian  words  such  as  Pau  –  done  or  Rinished,  Mahalo  –  thank  you,  and  Tutu  –  grandmother.    We’ve  even  taught  Addison  the  “shaka,”  a  Hawaiian  hand  symbol  meaning  “hang  loose.”    I  do  most  of  the  cooking  and  I  feel  strongly  about  using  fresh,  local  ingredients  whenever  possible,  making  delicious  and  healthy  meals.

Addison  is  an  independent,  smart,    active  little  4-­‐year-­‐old  girl  with  a  very  kind  and  tender  side,  and  a  compassionate  soul  that  

Sophie  is  a  sweet  little  toddler  that  is  full  of  energy  and  bounds  around  from  activity  to  activity,  making  sure  to  stop  to  get  hugs  and  kisses  from  Mom  and  Dad.    She  is  so  thrilled  when  we  play,  “Itsy,  Bitsy  Spider”  and  “If  You’re  Happy  and  You  Know  It”.    She  loves  music  and  dances  to  whatever  catchy  beat  is  on  the  radio,  television  or  when  Addison  sings  a  song.    Sophie  also  LOVES  to  eat!    She  eats  anything  and  everything  that  is  in  front  of  her  and  has  a  big  Buddha  belly  that  we  enjoy  rubbing.    Sophie  loves  to  follow  and  mimic  Addison,  learning  the  good  (and  sometimes  not  so  good)  from  her  older  sister.    Sophie  has  also  taken  to  her  nightly  readings  and  her  favorite  book,  Good  Night  Moon,  has  become  a  nightly  ritual  before  bedtime.    Her  laughter  is  the  greatest  sound  and  makes  our  home  a  joyful  place  to  be!    Sophie  is  a  loving  and  gentle  spirit  and  we  take  pleasure  in  watching  her  grow  into  this  very  special  person.    We  just  know  that  she’ll  be  a  great  big  sister!

will  make  her  a  great  big  sister  for  your  little  one.    She  adores  cuddling  and  always  asks  for  “more  hugs!”    Addison  often  says,  “Mommy,  you’re  my  best  friend”  or  “Daddy,  hold  my  hand  please”.    Those  words  are  the  sweetest  words  that  we  can  hear  as  parents.    She  loves  to  dress  up  in  her  princess  outTits  and  superhero  capes.    She’ll  be  Cinderella  for  a  day,  Snow  White  for  ten  minutes,  or  Superhero  Addie  for  three  hours.    Oh,  the  attention  span  of  a  four-­‐year  old!  Addison  enjoys  playing  with  cars  and  has  a  Hot  Wheel  collection  that  spans  the  test  of  time.    Some  of  her  Hot  Wheel  

ADDISON

sophie

collection  consists  of  cars  that  Eric  played  with  as  a  child.    Wouldn’t  it  be  great  to  have  your  child  share  the  same  cars  as  his  or  her  dad  and  older  sister?    Addison  also  loves  to  draw  Tire  trucks  and  rainbows.      Our  desks  are  decked  out  in  her  favorite  drawings  as  well  as  her  jelly  Tish  Tigures  that  represent  our  family.    “Mommy  jelly,  daddy  jelly,  and  Sophie  jelly”  as  she  calls  us.    Super  cute!    

Addison  was  given  a  Hawaiian  middle  name,  Kahealani,  which  means  “a  call  from  heaven,”  and  Sophie’s  middle  name  is  Kamealoha,  which  means  

“beloved  child”.    We  plan  on  giving  our  next  child  a  Hawaiian  middle  name  to  continue  the  tradition.    Maybe  you  can  help  us  choose  this  name?

Where We Live, laugh & loveWe  live  in  a  great  community  in  Alexandria,  Virginia,  which  is  just  outside  of  Washington  DC.    Our  home  is  a  Rive-­‐bedroom  house  with  a  huge  basement  with  a  dedicated  play  area  and  a  movie  room  where  we  have  our  family  movie  nights.    We’ve  also  been  known  to  squeeze  in  a  Sunday  matinee  when  the  weather  outside  isn’t  cooperating.    We  enjoy  the  opportunity  to  live  close  to  an  area  where  so  much  of  our  American  history  was  formed,  and  we  take  advantage  of  it  whenever  we  can.  Our  home  is  near  many  local  hiking  trails  that  connect  to  many  parks  and  playgrounds.    We  love  that  when  we  walk  to  “our”  park,  which  Addison  loves  to  call  it,  we  always  run  into  Luke  and  Bella  –  the  neighborhood  golden  retrievers  that  sit  in  the  front  yard  and  are  always  ready  to  give  kisses.    The  area  is  a  perfect  mix  of  suburban  and  country  life  –  we’re  just  minutes  away  from  where  there  are  great  restaurants  and  a  farmers  market  for  fresh  produce.    Not  only  does  our  neighborhood  have  a  very  highly  rated  academic  program,  but  to  ensure  that  children  are  well  rounded,  it  also  offers  a  variety  of  programs  such  as  dance,  art  and  swim  at  the  nearby  school.    We’ve  enrolled  both  girls  in  year  round  swim  classes  where  they  learn  to  be  comfortable  in  the  water  and  learn  about  water  safety  –  they  are  advancing  nicely.    We  can’t  wait  to  have  your  child  enrolled  into  activities  too.

Serving Our CountryWe  are  both  active  duty  military  in  the  Army,  and  we  love  serving  our  country  and  everything  that  service  represents.    While  the  military  requires  us  to  move  every  three  to  four  years,  we  have  found  this  to  be  a  very  positive  aspect  of  our  life.    Our  home-­‐life  routine  and  our  relationship  are  both  so  stable  that  moving  has  seemed  more  like  an  exciting  journey  as  opposed  to  an  upheaval.    Moving  has  allowed  us  to  meet  new  people  and  gain  new  friends  from  all  over  the  world,  and  each  assignment  allows  us  to  expand  our  horizons  as  our  family  enjoys  the  unique  experiences  that  each  location  provides.    We  are  able  to  understand  new  customs  and  cultures  that  go  beyond  textbooks.      Reading  and  hearing  about  other  parts  of  the  world  is  one  thing  but  actually  visiting  and  experiencing  another  state  or  country  in  person  is  quite  different.      These  opportunities  will  create  amazing  family  memories  as  well  as  provide  our  children  with  once  in  a  lifetime  educational  experiences.    Our  current  plan  is  to  serve  for  a  few  more  years,  travel  as  much  as  we  can  and  then  transition  from  military  service  to  settle  down  and  establish  roots.    This  will  allow  our  children  to  enjoy  the  stability  of  a  permanent  home,  especially  during  their  junior  high  and  high  school  years.    

Traveling the World... a Family Adventure!

Since  we  enjoy  traveling,  being  in  the  military  gives  us  the  perfect  opportunity  to  explore  the  world.    Eric  has  been  to  Japan,  Kuwait,  Malaysia,  Korea,  Singapore,  Australia,  and  East  Timor;  and  Kim  has  been  to  Japan,  Guam,  Thailand,  Australia,  and  the  Philippines.    Being  assigned  to  different  Army  bases  allows  us  to  live  across  the  United  States,  and  even  simple  trips  can  turn  into  awesome  adventures.    For  example,  in  Alaska,  we  boarded  a  seaplane  for  a  bear-­‐viewing  trip;  in  Maui,  we  experienced  the  most  amazing  sunrise  on  the  summit  of  Haleakala,  an  extinct  volcano;  and  in  Colorado,  Kim  chose  the  wrong  ski  slope  and  snowboarded  down  a  double  black  diamond  run  (and  for  a  novice  boarder  that  is  NOT  GOOD!)    Now  with  the  girls,  our  trips  are  family  focused  and  we  couldn’t  be  happier.    While  stationed  in  California,  we  took  several  trips  to  Disneyland,  cruised  down  the  PaciRic  Coast  Highway,  and  spent  the  weekend  at  Safari  West  in  Sonoma.    Now  that  we’re  in  Virginia,  we  have  trips  planned  to  Disney  World,  New  York  City,  the  Carolina  coast  and  possibly  a  Disney  Cruise.    We  can’t  wait  to  include  your  child  into  our  family  adventures.

Our Views on EducationOur  educational  background  is  diverse,  as  Eric  attended  one  of  the  top  military  schools,  graduating  with  a  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Business  Administration  (Go  Army!).    Kim  selected  the  more  traditional  route  of  a  four-­‐year  college,  earning  a  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree  in  Organizational  Communication,  followed  by  a  Master  of  Arts  degree  in  Organizational  Management.    As  you  can  see,  we  value  education  and  understand  the  importance  of  it.    We  guarantee  that  your  child  will  have  the  opportunity  to  attend  college;  whether  it’s  a  military  academy,  a  state  university  or  an  accredited  online  campus,  we’ll  ensure  that  a  higher  education  is  in  the  future.    As  a  matter  of  fact,  we’ve  already  started  college  funds  for  Addison  and  Sophie  and  transferred  Eric’s  military  education  beneRits  to  both  girls.    Of  course,  we  would  start  a  college  fund  for  your  child  right  away  and  they  would  also  be  eligible  for  the  same  education  beneRits.

Your Dreams & Desires for your ChildWe  have  a  full  understanding  of  closed  and  open  adoptions  and  have  respected  all  requests  from  both  Addison  and  Sophie’s  Rirst  Moms.    Addison’s  Rirst  Mom  decided  on  a  closed  adoption  while  Sophie’s  Rirst  Mom  opted  for  an  open  adoption.    We  hope  this  will  reassure  you  that  we  will  respect  you  and  your  decision  and  will  listen  to  all  your  dreams  and  desires  for  your  child  also.    

Our Parenting PhilosophyThere  is  a  saying  in  Hawaii,      

The  translation:  The  lehua  blossom  unfolds  when  the  rains  tread  on  it.    

The  explanation:  People  respond  better  to  gentle  words  than  to  reprimands.    This  is  our  philosophy  with  parenting.    We  are  great  parents,  and  trust  us  when  we  tell  you  that  your  child  will  have  every  ounce  of  our  love  and  a  loving  and  happy  home  life.

“I mohala no ka lehua i ke ke'ekehi 'ia e ka ua.”

Our Journey to Sophie – An Exciting and Joyous Time!Our  second  adoption  journey  with  Sophie  was  just  as  exciting.    As  with  Addison,  our  adoption  advisor  called  letting  us  know  that  we  were  selected  by  her  mother,  who  was  due  in  two  days  (  yes,  you  read  correctly,  two  days!).    We  were  thrilled,  excited  and  anxious.    The  baby  was  not  quite  ready  on  the  due  date  and  three  weeks  later  our  phone  rang  at  3:00am  and  it  was  the  birth  father  informing  us  that  that  Sophie’s  Rirst  Mom  was  in  labor  and  that  we  needed  to  get  on  a  plane  ASAP!    We  were  able  to  get  a  Rlight  within  a  few  hours  and  when  we  entered  the  hospital  room,  Sophie’s  Rirst  Mom  handed  her  to  us  and  said,  “Here’s  your  daughter”.      At  that  very  second,  we  knew  we’d  have  a  very  special  relationship.    While  at  the  hospital  we  meet  the  entire  birth  family  and  we  felt  a  little  overwhelmed  but  comforted  at  the  same  time,  because  we  knew  that  both  families  supported  our  adoption  of  our  little  Sophie.    The  bond  made  in  the  hospital  carried  forward  as  we  went  to  the  birth  parent’s  home  for  a  BBQ  where  we  noticed  that  Sophie  has  the  same  chin  dimple  as  her  Rirst  Mom  and  her  biological  grandmother….  very  cool.    We  continue  to  have  an  awesome  relationship  and  keep  in  touch  to  this  very  day  with  pictures  and  video’s  of  Sophie  or  just  to  catch  up  on  life!

Adopting Addison – A Miraculous Moment!Our  entire  adoption  process  was  Rilled  with  anticipation  and  joy  as  we  looked  forward  to  becoming  parents.    The  call  from  our  adoption  advisor  to  tell  us  we  had  been  chosen  was  one  of  the  most  miraculous  moments  for  us!    We  immediately  went  shopping  to  get  all  the  baby  items  on  the  “new  baby  checklist”  we  found  on  the  Internet.    Needless  to  say,  we  were  a  tad  bit  excited  and  went  overboard  buying  everything  in  sight!    About  a  week  later,  we  received  a  phone  call  informing  us  that  Addison’s  Rirst  Mother  was  in  labor,  and  we  needed  to  get  on  a  plane  immediately.    No  words  can  express  the  love  we  felt  when  we  held  her  in  our  arms  for  the  Rirst  time.    We  were  ready  for  parenthood;  we  were  ready  for  her!!    During  our  stay  in  the  hospital  we  spent  hours  with  Addison’s  Rirst  Mom  talking,  listening  and  sharing  visions  for  our  daughter.    It  was  very  emotional  and  words  cannot  express  how  grateful  we  are  to  her.  

“Becoming parents through adoption is

absolutely the best thing that has happened to us.

Creating our family through the selflessness of birth families is truly amazing and we cannot wait to share that moment with

you, whether it be for a few minutes or a lifetime.”

Our Wonderful We  have  been  blessed  with  family  and  friends  who  are  over-­‐the-­‐top  excited  for  us  to  welcome  another  child  into  our  lives.    Our  close  and  extended  family  is  one  that  enjoys  being  together  as  often  as  possible.    Eric’s  family  ski  trips  to  Colorado  are  always  jam-­‐packed  with  stories  of  previous  adventures  as  well  as  chances  for  creating  new  ones.    We  will  always  remember  the  sleigh  ride  in  Telluride  because  the  horses  kept  passing  gas,  which  made  the  20-­‐minute  trip  seem  like  40!    Eric’s  brother  lives  in  Dallas,  Texas  along  with  his  wife  and  their  two  sons,  and  his  extended  family  continues  to  grow,  with  seven  young  nephews  and  two  nieces;  they  are  all  looking  forward  to  playing  with  their  new  cousin.    Just  think  of  how  many  instant  playmates  and  cousins  your  child  would  have  with  us!    On  our  trips  back  to  Texas,  we  always  stop  at  Eric  and  his  dad’s  favorite  BBQ  joint,  where  we  end  up  eating  way  too  much  chicken,  ribs  and  sausage.    Oh  yeah,  and  we  can’t  forget  the  beans!    When  we  walk  out  of  there,  our  bellies  are  full  and  we  are  completely  useless  for  the  rest  of  the  day.    

We  try  to  go  to  Hawaii  every  year,  as  spending  quality  time  with  family  is  very  important  to  us.    When  we  are  able  to  make  it  to  Hawaii,  we  often  rent  a  cabin  on  the  beach  to  get  away  from  the  hustle  and  bustle  and  spend  hours  boogie-­‐boarding  or  playing  in  the  water  or  eating,  because  it’s  what  we  do  best!    We  remember  our  last  trip  to  Hawaii,  where  we  were  playing  in  the  eddy  and  Kim’s  brother  was  towing  his  three  year  old  daughter  on  a  boogie  board,  and  she  waved  to  everyone  like  she  was  in  a  parade.    After  that,  we  called  her,  “Miss  Aloha”  and  it’s  what  we  call  her  to  this  day.

Kim’s  mom,  two  brothers,  sister-­‐in-­‐law,  niece  and  nephew  live  together  in  a  multi-­‐generation  home,  which  is  very  common  in  the  Hawaiian  culture.    We’re  not  sure  if  it  would  work  for  us-­‐-­‐-­‐okay,  we  are  deRinitely  sure  it  would  not  work  for  us-­‐-­‐-­‐but  it  totally  works  for  them.    As  you  may  know,  families  come  in  all  shapes  and  sizes,  and  we  are  no  different!    Kim’s  brother  and  his  wife  have  a  daughter  who  just  turned  three  and  a  son  that  is  six  months  old;  he  also  has  a  son  and  a  daughter-­‐in-­‐law  whose  daughter  is  four,  which  makes  his  granddaughter  older  than  his  daughter  and  son.    Yep,  crazy,  right?    But  we  love  it!    

“Ohana”

Kim as a Mommy (Written by Eric)Kim  is  an  incredible  mother,  and  nothing  brings  her  more  joy  than  spending  time  with  Addison  and  Sophie.    We  reserve  Sunday  mornings  for  baking  homemade  mufRins  and  biscuits  or  pancakes  for  breakfast,  or  something  sweet  for  the  week.    It  is  really  cute  seeing  the  three  of  them  together;  measuring,  cracking  eggs  and  pouring  Rlour  and  sugar  into  the  bowl.    Kim  lets  Addison  mix  everything  together  and  drop  the  batter  into  the  pans  while  Sophie  plays  with  the  leftover  dough.    She  also  loves  doing  crafts  with  the  girls.    Addison  loves  glitter  glue  (Kim  does  not  ☺),  construction  paper,  and  water  color  paints,  while  Sophie  enjoys  stickers  which  end  up  on  her  face  and  every  piece  of  furniture  within  her  reach.    This  past  holiday  season,  Kim  was  able  to  make  homemade  ornaments  where  the  girls’  handprints  were  placed  on  a  clear  ornament  with  the  year  written  on  it.      She  can’t  wait  to  do  your  child’s  handprint  to  add  to  the  family  collection.    The  girls  and  Kim  love  cuddling  up  together  to  read  a  book,  watch  a  movie  or  have  a  picnic  in  the  basement.    Your  child  will  deRinitely  be  included  in  all  these  activities,  and  depending  on  their  likes  and  interests,  many  more  will  be  set  up  just  for  them!

Eric as a Daddy (Written by Kim) I  am  super  excited  for  Eric  to  become  a  Dad  again.    He  is  an  amazing  father,  and  he  lights  up  each  time  he  sees  “his  girls”.    Eric’s  love  of  running  has  created  a  special  opportunity  for  just  the  three  of  them,  with  Saturday  mornings  dedicated  to  daddy  and  daughter  time.    Riding  in  our  double  jog  stroller,  Addison  and  Sophie  are  Eric’s  new  running  partners!    When  the  new  baby  comes,  he  can’t  wait  to  try  out  the  triple  stroller,  and  the  girls  can’t  wait  to  have  another  stroller  partner.    Simply  being  together  and  sharing  the  fun  is  awesome,  and  I  know  that  Eric  is  ready  to  create  a  special  moment  with  your  child,  too.    

building forts with daddy is so much fun!

time for a spin on the carousel!

a family that

runs together, has FUN together

Our Hearts & Home Are Open to YouBecoming  parents  through  adoption  was  a  beautiful  experience  for  us.    Our  hearts  and  our  home  are  open  and  we  welcome  you  and  your  child  into  our  family.    We  promise  to  raise  your  child  in  a  stable  home  and  loving  family,  and  we  will  nurture  him  or  her  with  an  understanding  of  their  adoption  story,  respecting  your  decision  as  a  choice  that  was  based  on  love.    Whether  it  is  an  open  or  closed  adoption,  we  will  ensure  that  your  child  knows  what  you  want  them  to  know.    We  believe  in  strong  core  values  –  honesty,  integrity,  respect,  and  compassion,  and  we  will  pass  on  these  values  to  your  child.    We  will  also  pass  on  our  love  of  learning  and  will  provide  your  child  with  the  best  possible  education.    In  short,  all  of  our  love  and  efforts  will  go  toward  providing  a  solid  foundation  so  your  child  can  eventually  grow  and  discover  the  world  on  his  or  her  own.

Until We Meet AgainThank  you  for  taking  a  glimpse  into  our  lives.    Our  hope  is  that  our  story,  through  pictures  and  heartfelt  words,  will  create  a  

connection  with  you.    We  are  so  excited  to  adopt  again  and  want  you  to  know  we  are  looking  

forward  to  the  day  we  welcome  another  miracle  into  our  lives.    We  hope  you  feel  that  our  family  is  everything  you’ve  dreamed  for  your  baby.    It  is  hard  to  say  

goodbye  and  to  share  how  grateful  we  are  and  how  much  respect  we  have  for  you.    Instead  of  “goodbye”  we  would  love  to  say  “until  we  meet  again”…  and  hopefully  this  

will  be  a  new  beginning  for  all  of  us.    

“Mahalo Nui Loa” or  “Thank  you  very  much!”
