With love, from Uganda to America

My friend Tammy works for Childcare Worldwide, a child sponsorship organization out of Bellingham. Her work has taken her all over the world from Haiti to Uganda. But something special happened during her trips to Uganda - she met a boy named Nathan and knew that work life would soon spill over into home life. A little over a year ago she finalized the adoption and Nathan moved home to Lynden. This fall we celebrated his new life with his mom, Tammy, in America with a photo session at Berthusen Park in Lynden. I'm a member of Celebrating Adoption. Photographers give adoptive families free sessions, free proofs, and 15% off their order. It's a neat program and I'm delighted to celebrate adoption in Whatcom County! Welcome Nathan!
