International Adoption
About Us
- Ponz, Lil Ponz, Real Lil Ponz and Baby Ponz
- We are two people who love each other unconditionally and we took a journey to Ethiopia to pick up our son. We started the adoption process again; however, we placed it on hold until 2011. God had a different plan for us this time and we welcomed home our daughter in April. We thank God everyday for our journey.
