Long lost sis?

One day out of the blue a woman named Gay sent me an email. She told me she saw Garrett's picture on the blog and thought he had a close resemblance to her adopted daughter "Adyana." In fact, she has a photo of Adyana at age seven that she swears looks exactly like he does now. Unfortunately, she was unable find it, but did sent me this one of her at 10. Look at both faces closely—the shape of their eyes, their noses, the way they smile—is it me or what?


Gay adopted Adyana at age three from the same agency (Tree of Life) and from the same region, Uralsk. No, they don't have the same biological parents (we've already swapped that information). But I am hoping one day Tree of Life has a reunion in Portland, Oregon (that's also where Gay and Adyana live) and we could meet them. How fun would that be? It would be like looking in a mirror.

Wow, do those kids look alike!! That would be cool if they all got to meet and hang out (and maybe Bob and meet his twin ;-))

Wow-that is freaky.
How do you say Adayna? I like that name.

Maybe their parents are related?
You never know. :)

Garrett makes me smile. :)

Wow they do look alike.
Maybe they are related somehow!


I have seen a little girl that was adopted recently that looks so much like Jonathan. It make me wonder too!

Cool. Now we just need to find your twin Karen.

The resemblence between Bob and his twin is even greater than between Garrett and his "cousin."
