We decided to put this page up to give our on-line friends an idea of who "Rick and Tina" are. It's always nice to be able to put a face with a name... so we figured this will give you an idea of just who it is that is e-mailing you. That's us (Tina on the left, Rick on the right) in the top left corner. Click on the picture for a better look. We met on-line in late September of 1997. (Yes. We are an Internet Love Story.) We met in person one week later - in early October. It turns out we lived 12 miles from each other in the Atlanta area. As much as this sounds like a fairy tale, there was something special between us right from the start. We didn't have to ask if we were each other's soul mates. We knew. We married on August 7th of 1998. We have two sons. Our oldest son graduated medical school with a degree in Medical Illustration and is now working for the hospital affiliated with the medical school. He married on April 28th, 2007. Our youngest son married on August 10th, 2003. (They are roughly five years behind us.) Our first grandchild (a girl) joined our family in June, 2008. Though they are Tina's by her first marriage, they welcomed Rick into their family and hearts wonderfully. They couldn't mean more to each other if they were his own biological sons, and Rick their biological father. As part of our spiritual journey, we created this site. Over the years, the stories that we've read - and the miracles that have happened in our own lives - have brought us even closer to our Heavenly Father and the "divine realm." We know - with absolute certainty - that God still takes an active role in our lives (as long as we pay attention and allow Him to.) He certainly did in ours. Because of His divine guidance, in March of 2008 we went to India to bring home our daughter. We gained physical custody of her on her 5th birthday. The adoption was finalized here in the US in June of 2008. She is thriving and doing wonderfully. She is an absolute joy, and is a ray of sunshine in the life of everyone she comes in contact with. Like the movie starring Jimmy Stewart, "It's a Wonderful Life" - and it's getting more so with each passing day. We pray the same for you. We hope you will enjoy your visit to Angel Friends. If after touring our site you feel called to join, please do! The more members we have, the wider the message of the role God (and His helpers) plays in our lives will spread!
