Our Adopted Family

For those of you that do not know our story, it begins on E-Harmony. Yes, Naing and I met on E-Harmony. We are both in our 40(s) never been married and we got matched up. We started dating and found out we did have so much in common. We are both the youngest of 6 children. Even though he was born in Burma and I was born in Wisconsin, we were meant to be. Naing has led a more exciting life as a child than I did. His father worked for the World Health Organization and after they left Burma, he lived in Ethiopia (remember that for later) Tanzania, India and then they moved to Canada. That is where Naing finished his education and went onto college to get two degrees. He moved to Oregon for a job for a small start up software company, that did not survive. So he decided to stay in Oregon and went to work for Mentor Graphics. While attending Mentor he went on to earn his Masters in Software Engineering at PSU. He left Mentor and is now at PSU in their IT department. I grew up in Texas and moved to Oregon in 1980. I liked it so much, I stayed and went to school at PSU. I now manage a vet clinic in Hillsboro.
When we were dating and talking about getting married, we also started discussing adoption.
We both knew we wanted to have a family. After we got married, we had to get Naing's green card finished before we could start the adoption process because he had to have permanent residency to adopt.
