OMG!!! My heart just stopped and broke. I remember when Ginny and Richard adopted Christina. The Newbergs lived around the corner from me when I was 10 years old in Bamako. As a foreign service brat I had the honor and privilege to know and genuinely love this family! I was always at Ginny's house, our most favorite thing to do was ceramics. I remember when the Newbergs brought her home. The ONE thing I loved the most about Christina when she was baby she would sing in her crib at only a few months old. I have been trying to find the Newbergs for years. Our families were close. So, when I finally find Ginny I see this heartbreak and Richard as well. I was hoping to see Christina because I have seen her since she was a little, BEAUTIFUL, bright eyed babygirl. If you are still reading these comments Ginny PLEASE email me at the address on this post or look at your messages on facebook. I love you!! Christina, I wish I could have known you as a young woman but I am so honored and blessed to know you when you came into this world!!!
