After many hours of long discussion and several days of mourning, we have decided to cancel the adoption of our second daughter, Xylie Austin. This was a heartbreaking decision for our whole family, but one that we feel was in the best interests of everyone involved. We thank everyone for their understanding in this very personal matter and hope that Xylie will find a family who will love her and cherish her and give her the world. We are comfortable with our decision and know that it is what is best for her and us.
In light of that, we are so very proud of our first daughter, Saiya and so very happy to have such a perfect little girl with whom we can share our lives. She has her first Violin recital April 28. She will be playing "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star". We are so proud of her and her strength and ability to adapt to changes amazes us everyday.
