About Me
- Sandy Yager
- I am a thirty-something homeschooling mom of two fantastic little boys, Ben and Sam. My husband, Mike and I began our adoption journey over a year ago. We are anxiously waiting for "the call" that says it is time to meet our daughter. So, we invite you to join us in our adventure.
