The Two Tinhikos


Today we said goodbye to our very good friends Sergio, Salut & Tinhiko. We met them a month after we adopted Luka and they have been there for the rest of our adoption adventure. They have become a very special part of our lives with Luka, and now Sam as well.

We met Tinhiko in the hospital a couple of weeks before we adopted Luka and visited her daily. She was just a tiny newborn baby and we loved her very much. We wanted to adopt both of them but they wouldn't let us...so we were very excited to find out that Tinhiko had been adopted by a Spanish couple and they had kept the name we gave her...same middle name we gave to Luka - Tinhiko (I think they spell it differently, but in the end it means the same thing - GIFT.

These two children have been the greatest gifts anyone could have given us. Tinhiko and Luka are beautiful children that are so animated and full of life and this really comes through when you are with them (and in the photos). Those two are inseparable and really love each other.

The times we have spent with Tinhiko and her family are moments that Luka (and we) will never forget. I know that we are only saying goodbye for now because we will see them very soon in the near future.

I don't think these two can stay apart for long....
