ALDEN for the Anderson-Hansen family — PA

The Anderson- Hansen family, Charlie, Liz and their seven children (Ethan, Savanna, Nikita, Abby, Nikolina, Emmeline and Cameron) are on a new adoption journey! They adopted their sons, Cameron from DCF in 2021 and Nikita (RR “Bert”) from Ukraine in 2021. They then brought home their daughter, Nikolina (RR “Pippy”) from Bulgaria in 2024. All three of these children have added such joy to the family that the idea of another adoption was never far from thought. Charlie and Liz are both registered nurses and enjoy the field immensely. Charlie works in the Neuro ICU and Liz does Private Duty Pediatric Nursing. Liz has always had the heart for special needs adoption and was thrilled when she met Charlie and realized that his heart also led him to adopt. After scrolling through Reece’s Rainbow for years they found their son, Nikita, and daughter, Nikolina. After getting them home and integrated into the family, they came across a little boy on Reece’s Rainbow who tugged their heartstrings! What an easy decision it was to return to Eastern Europe to make this new little one the baby of the family!

Four adoptions in four years is quite a feat and they need their village now more than ever! They are so thankful and blessed for the village that has grown around them and their children and would love to have everyone along on their next adoption journey!
