Malinda's Story
After fifteen years I decided I should update my story. Wow life has a way of moving on and things have changed. My husband Pete and I still live on the ranch here in Dairy, Or. and although I keep telling him we should retire we haven't. The girls we adopted have grown and are on their own but we replaced them with two more, Isaiah and Kari, we adopted as infants. Call me crazy but I love babies and at the time forgot they grow up, go to school where they pick up all kinds of nonsense and then the teenage years again.

It complicated their lives for a short time but it confused the Hispanic children at school for a while. They couldn't understand why Isaiah and Kari could speak English but their Spanish was so different.
We still make it to Walla Walla but not so often. My three older children live there and my grown grandchildren along with the great grandson.
I'd love to hear from more of you along with those I have reconnected with. Although it's been a lot of years at one time we were pretty close.
