The story behind Where Your Beginning Began…

One week before our adopted daughter would enter this world, a sweet poem fell from heaven into my heart. Knowing that we were entering the new and precious territory of becoming a multi-ethnic family through this adoption, having a way to communicate to our child her origin, birth story, and adoption was something my husband and I deeply valued. Even if our skin colors had matched, this story-telling would still be innately needed by our child to understand where she came from, the honored role her birthmother played, and how wanted she truly is and has always been.

Our family joked together that our waiting process like the gestation of an elephant…a long time indeed. And, thus, Kaynay the Elephant found life on the walls of our daughter’s soon-to-be nursery, along with the other animal friends you’ll find in Where Your Beginning Began.
