Florida Adoption Story

From China to Largo, with love
LARGO – Someday, as 16-month-old Abby Jing (meaning crystal or clear) Curtis grows up, her parents may tell her they would go to the ends of the earth for her. She will know they mean it, because they already have.

Abby’s parents, Michelle and Luke Curtis of Largo, traveled to the People’s Republic of China in September to finalize her adoption process, begun more than a year earlier. They joined a number of families from the United States choosing to adopt from China.

“I’ve always been interested in Chinese history,” said Luke, an information technologies consultant. Other than a cruise to the Bahamas, however, neither had been out of the country before.
