Rehua Haupapa
Chief Cuteness Officer
DeVera and Ed’s once-in-a-lifetime adventure began when they discovered their daughter would have a baby she could not care for. Though not necessarily expecting to become parents again, they were presented with the incredible opportunity to adopt her newborn son. Rehua is named after a Māori Star God with the power to heal. He is the perfect Chief Cuteness Officer with his sunny disposition, bright personality and desire to meet everyone. He loves running around the clinic, spreading his special brand of joy when his Mama and Papa need to work late. Ray Ray, as he is affectionately called, is always up for giving hugs, playing with his puppy, or watching sports with Papa. Cute as a button, mischievous at times, but never failing in spreading laughter and cheer – it’s hard not to adore sweet Rehua!
