Many years ago we – ok, 12.5 years ago – we went to the Portland area to meet our 2nd son. He was living with a wonderful family who were a blessing and neat example of a Christian, loving family. When son #3 was born, Laurie came to meet and cuddle him too.
When we learned about Sissy, I wondered how Laurie and her family were doing. I googled her a few times with no luck. A few days ago I tried again on Facebook. No luck, but there was a young lady with the same last name in Portland. I decided, nothing ventured, nothing gained. And, at first it looked like there was no connection. On a whim, I looked in our photo album and realized I had messed up her first name! I emailed the young lady again – thinking, if I’m still wrong, I’ll never bug her again! And, I’m so glad I persevered – as Laurie is her mom!
Here are some pictures of our first meeting with J2 – in Laurie’s home – and a couple of her cutie daughters! (Next time I’ll know to take the protective sleeve off before scanning a photo!)

That is great. I hope you can connect with Laurie again.
I’m glad you were able to find her! 😀
