Hi, my name is Karina McCarthy and my name is Alina McCarthy.
We were adopted from St. Petersburg, Russia. When we were 9. 14 years ago.
I am a floral manager of owns and I go to school part time and I work at Franklin,
cubby full time.
Since being adopted, I have gotten another chance in life.
A family that loves me and supports me and an education.
If I hadn't been adopted, I would probably be living on the streets.
I would have no family and I would have no education.
Since being adopted, my life has changed because I got a family that loves me a stable,
home and education and an opportunity
to become successful and start a family of my own 1 day.
