Both welcomed us with open arms. At first, moving to the new house was scary and very strange. .We knew the Lees, but not on a personal level.

Meeting their side of the family was also a new experience and helped me feel more comfortable with them. Unlike my biological family who we were never close to. At first I felt like an outsider, but as time went by I started to feel more and more at home with my new adoptive family. We would celebrate Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach almost every year, it was a great way to get closer to my new one
