Almost 18!

It is April, 2025. Kimi will be 18 next month! I thought it was time for an update to this blog! Kimi had maxillofacial surgery a year ago to correct a severe underbite. She had some complications with a subsequent abcess, but got through the surgery for that also. She continues to play the violin the high school orchestra, and also volunteers at a daycare sponsored by her school, learning skills she will most likely use as an adult. She volunteers at our church as a small group leader for first-graders. Kimi just completed her 10th year playing wheelchair basketball with her team finishing third in the nation yesterday at Nationals! This weekend, we also met up with Faye Corman and her son, J.P., who was adopted from China the same week as Kimi! They live just 10 minutes away from the venue! I have attached photos of Kimi and J.P. 14 years ago and this past weekend. The last time they were together was in China! Kimi will also be a bridesmaid in her sister Elizabeth's wedding next month!
