We are so happy to announce that, after 18 months of waiting, our daughter, Mali Ratana, has finally come home from Thailand. She is beautiful, healthy, and enjoying her new home. We are forever grateful to our adoption agency, Holt International, for making our dream of parenthood a reality. Our adoption journey has been an amazing experience that we are pleased to share with you on this website. Thank you to all of our friends and family who have been so supportive over the last year and a half. We can't wait to introduce you to Mali in person!

Love, the happy new parents, Ed and Angela
