Your birthmother, Olga, held you in her arms while both of you had your blood tested to make sure she gave birth to you. I can't imagine what she must have been feeling as she was looking at you and seeing how precious you are. We prayed for her all morning.
This is the information we were given about Olga: She is 28 years old, she lives with her other two children, boy and girl, she works at a coffee "finca", which we found out means a farm, she is very humble, hardworking, and honest.
Your birthmother loved you so much that she chose to give you life and then because of her situation she made a very difficult choice, she chose to give you a better life than she could offer you. We thank God for Olga everyday that she loved you enough to let you go. You have 2 mothers that love you!!!

Dear Claire,
What a busy week for you! On Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa Zerbe suprised us with a beautiful armoire for your nursery. Grandma and Grandpa Buetner brought over your crib. They had to drive to Ft. Wayne to get it. I am sitting in your pink rocker, we can't wait to hold you in it.
