OUR REFERRAL
The Groves family got an unexpected surprise this past week... a referral!!!

With great pride and joy, Rich, Jane, Cade, and Maggie would like to introduce to you their new daughter and baby sister...

Chinese Name:

Kennedi Faith GuoLan Groves

Kennedi is being named after Jane's great-grandparents, the Kennedys. All three kids' names come from family. Cade Riley, the Riley after Rich's dad; Margaret LiLi Anne, Margaret after Jane's Great-Aunt Margaret Chadek; and now Kennedi Faith GuoLan.

Now I have three January babies. January is going to be one big party with all three kids' birthdays.

We have contacted the cleft team at Arkansas Children's Hospital and Kennedi will be getting her lip corrected as soon as she comes home. About 3 months after her lip correction, she will have her palate corrected. Kennedi will probably have about 4-7 surgeries to completely correct her lip and palate.

This great news come to us out of the blue and we are still soaking it all up. We are thrilled beyond words that God has granted us the role of Kennedi's mom and dad. We are truly blessed.
