Our Family

When you look at our family, it is not the conventional one.  It is Mark, Patti, our biological daughter Bekah.  Then first to come join our family was Annamae.  We worked in an orphanage-girls home for a couple of years and met Annamae there.  She joined us when she became pregnant, we saw her through pre-term labor an delivery of her daughter Alexa.  Then two neglected sisters we took in because of their great need for regular meals, parental supervision, protection, emotional bonding, and education. The youngest sister has also now joined us.  This is a voluntarily arrangement, and the mother regularly comes to visit them and spend time with them.  We try to teach by example to her what healthy parenting looks like.  The mama is special needs (deaf-mute).  Although challenging, seeing them grow and mature has become a delight.   So here is a little video to meet the family.
