Such a beautiful story worth telling. I'm also adopted coming from a dark past. Canada is a lucky place to end up in. Hockey is an amazing sport, very proud to watch and cheer it on.

What an amazing story. A beautiful family that gave a gift of uncountable riches with no dollar value. Changing the lives of two beautiful girls and allowing them to live their best life is indescribable. It makes me proud to be a Canadian.
