HI’ILANI FROM HAWAII:
A brand new mom
I am a native Hawaiian. I was born on the island of Oahu. I grew up with my parents, until they split up when I was nine. My parents separated and I moved to my grandparents with my dad, my sister, and my brother, after moving back and forth between locations and homes, with different family members.

Once again, as we prepare for another little family to leave us, we are struck with the realization of just how quickly, time passes. While we will miss them both, we are happy to report that they are actually moving down the street to a sponsor family’s home, where we will be able to continue watching them grow, knowing they will be happy, safe, and close.
