The Quast Family Adoption Story
Our Cradle Family

Our "Cradle family" came together from across the ocean. We adopted our son, Thomas, from South Korea in December 2002, and returned two years later to adopt Brianna.
I can write several pages on how our our life has changed, but the short of the long is that we are a happy healthy family enjoying the nurturing and love that adoption has given us. Both kids are happy and lovable, and keep our lives busy. Thomas attends preschool, and Brianna wants to do everything her big brother does. She is a fast learner. These kids have brought us a loving gift that is going to last a lifetime. They are very special to us and our entire family. They have lots of character, and everyone we encounter seems to enjoy them a lot.
