Steve and Becki Shawver would like to welcome our family and friends to this web page.  With three biological children, more than a dozen exchange sons, daughters, nieces and nephews, our family has an abundance of past and future memories to share. With family members scattered around the globe, we hope that this site helps us all to celebrate the joys and to face the challenges of every day life together.   

Through our family's involvement in foreign exchange programs such as the American Field Service/AFS, Youth For Understanding/YFU, and Academic Year-USA/AYUSA, our family has been enriched in more ways than we ever imaged possible.

As you visit our web page, please celebrate with us the wonders of friendships and families without borders. Share with us the blessings that are possible through cultural understanding and world unity while we as
parents celebrate the blessings that each of our children has brought us.
