hello I am a 21 year old full blooded Guarani indian. I was adopted by two nurses that joined the peace corp in the 89's. They found me in Paraguay, almost dead. My birth mother was desperate to save my life.She gave me to these two nurses and they basically saved my life.They brought to america to live my life to the fullest.Im now engaged to be married to a teacher,and I will soon finish Massage Therapy school.I thank God everyday for the chance at life he gave and for my parents, my angels, that saved me. I find myself also wondering about my birth mother, i would like to thank her for letting me go, for the chance to live. One day i plan to go to Paraguay and adopt a child in need . Maybe my future husband and I will also join the peace Corp like my adoptive parents did.

p.s My parents are doing great, they still talk and share stories about the peace corps and traveling all around south america!
