Mehandis Awano Wolaver

So we have some wonderful news to share... we received a referral for a 7 month old boy! His given name is Mehandis Awano, which we have decided is a perfect name for our son. We are absolutely ecstatic about the news and can't wait to share more of the referral story with anyone who is interested!


Here I am, telling my parents that they have a beautiful grandson!



Michael then shared the news with his whole family, as they were on vacation together standing on a pier in Mackinaw.



We went out for a great meal at an old favorite, Jake's, and fully celebrated our excitement of having Mehandis join our family!
